A bunch of pictures have been taken lately, everything from "before" pics of Jeff as he begins gym workouts with a trainer, to weather photos, holiday decorations and whatnot. I had Jeff snap a photo of me as I was able to stand up almost straight. This is what the cashier from Saturday thinks is the father of a 51 year old man:



Not too far off, I guess. lol

We had a frozen land of icy mayhem here today, freezing rain coated everything in a glassy sheath. Luckily it wasn''t like some years where the ice builds up more and more and it starts taking down branches, whole trees and power lines. This time was rather benign, Jeff had no issues getting to work using main roads and highways. He usually takes a back way that shaves of several miles as well as a few dollars in tolls both ways. He came home that way without issues. Tomorrow might prove a hassle again, as the weather radio warning sounded for bad icing and snow conditions throughout the day. Yippie. The snow blower is ready. Not sure how ready I am for it though.

Some more photos:





This is the snow from the Sunday prior, you can see the big Blue Atlas cedar bent over the walkway from the weight of the ice, along with some of the shrubbery burdened with the frozen delight in the picture before, this is "normal."



Let's see what Ma Nature has in store tomorrow.

Today's weather was nazztuh. I bagged work yet again mainly to avoid dealing with the icy conditions, and in the afternoon went out to renew my driver's license which expires this weekend. A new record, in and out in about five minutes. Of course, my picture looks awful, with my winter beard a permanent record for the next five years. And now, a restriction for corrective lenses. Bleah.

The snow we had yesterday got glazed over with slick ice. Jeff and I had to go and retrieve Kodi, who got stranded in the yard unable to walk up the bit if a grade leading up to the house. It took me over five minutes to walk from the front door to the carport to take out the garbage, the walkway was so slick. Tomorrow morning is going to be an adventure for sure.
