Our original Florida plans had us flying home late last night – but an expected huge winter storm caused flights all over New England to be cancelled, and we switched to flying home tomorrow night instead (so we get to stay down here longer with GPMINI and Joanne & Earle, which is nice – though it’s cool down here too!)
The storm did deliver loads of snow to Philadelphia, and a lot to New York, but by the time it reached Boston the air was too warm and apparently there was about zero snow! On local TV station Fox 25, weather forecaster Cindy Fitzgibbon hid her embarrassment this morning with a paper bag 🙂
If a tree falls …
Reminiscent of the philosophical riddle, but rather more serious when it happens next door! While our neighbors Joanne and Earle are away, we’re watching their house – I check for working heat and no flooding from the heavy rain, but never thought to check for fallen trees! But their son Jason came home and found it … Luckily, the tree almost completely missed the house, so little to no damage; maybe just some shingles need work:
We assume it blew down last weekend when we had big wind and rain.
Cold and frosty
I think the coldest day so far this winter, down to 6f (-14c); and while I’m indoors right now, the wind is blowing so it’ll feel colder still! Brrr …
However, it’s made some very pretty frost patterns on the Kitchen storm door:
