‘Twas the week before Christmas,
And all through the town,The wind was a’blowin’,
And power was down.
Well, not for us, but lots of folks lost power around here today. Yesterday around noon, we finally emerged from an early cold blast that had us in the teens and twenties since Wednesday. This morning, it reached 62 degrees. Now it’s back down to freezing. All that atmospheric energy had to go somewhere, and wind was no surprise. We had perhaps a tenth of an inch of ice on Saturday morning:
Ice on the crepe myrtle seed pods
Lexi seriously hates walking about on ice-crusted grass. She acts as if it’s much worse than snow. I’d guess so, it’s probably sharp and all of the smells are hidden.
I got some house cleaning done, roasted some coffee, and did a bit of remote work. All in all, a productive week and weekend.
