Snow day here in Northern Virginia. About 3-4 inches of fluffy snow and now more falling all day long. We went out and cleared as much as we could so there's less to shovel tomorrow, but we're all having a snow day and enjoying flannel-lined jeans and cozy socks.
Fluffy snow here too for most of the day although it isn't very heavy.
On the other hand, not all our fluffy snow from a couple of days ago is gone...
The weather site claims it is 26°F here at 4pm,
Quick look through weather data here shows no measureable precipitationat our local small airportsince May , though I could have missed a day.. Humidity mid day 29%.
How are you doing, Morgan. Are you inside with doors and windows closed? I really hope that you and all the others around you are safe and coping.
A few years ago, when fires were really bad here, our B. C. digital newspaper published this article about making your own filter. We got the supplies, but we never had any smoke here, so it is still waiting to be built.
After a month of hot weather we now have 4 days without mains power and those 4 days it has been almost continuously rain. Usually not to heavy but consistent. We now have the caravan parked outside for the fridge and tv.
Powers back a day earlier than predicted. ( and the rain has held off for a couple of hours.
Caravan fridge was so cold it froze the milk, fortunatly the wine did not freeze.
I went to the grocery store this afternoon....
Wow! There were long lines at the cashiers with everyone deciding to stock up.
Fortunately, people seemed to be taking the wait in good part.
