Too funny, but understandable. The sun is like an alien presence these days.

why we call it a UFO...

I am also tired of the endless rain over here across the Atlantic. Today the sun is shining though, a welcome relief from overcast skies and cold rain. Looks like a good day to take down the Christmas tree and haul it up into our woods for the forest critters to nest in. I will miss it.

It's been non stop rain here to. We qre having a break here right now but I had bedt not say that to loudly or it will rain again

Blessed to live by water and mild winters. Our walk in between storms.

we've finally gotten a little snow cover.

Same here, but not the amount of snow they were predicting. Enough that the plows were out and about, but not really enough to shovel.

I'm more worried about the violent wind and rainstorm predicted for the middle of this coming week.

At one point yesterday, I went out to the backsteps and swept about an inch of slush off of them. It was something of a difficult job for a broom but it was the extent of my snow removal. The temperature from the start of the day was above freezing and, altho the continued off and on ... with a little rain accompanying it, it was all gone by the end of the day. That is, except for what slid off the car in the shade.

There has been a "pile" of snow where I threw it while shoveling on the 9th & 10th of December. I assessed it's size and determined that it is just about the size of a Subway sandwich. What slid off the car amounts to about 2 sandwiches worth. It is 27°f (-3°C) right now and, with no sun, may not rise above freezing. But, there's little chance of snow until tomorrow.

So ... 30 days after that December snow storm – the snow sandwich beside the driveway and the 2 snow sandwiches in the driveway will have to wait for some more snow cover that stays around. And, it should altho a lot of wind is predicted for Tuesday. The Weather Service is suggesting what may be a 0° (-18°C) morning before the end of this week. It's still been a warm start to Winter but mountain snow cover, at least, will benefit from what is predicted.
