 Blizzard ends, we spend two days cleaning up, and then this happened No wonder I feel frustrated … Thinking warm thoughts. I’m starting to buy spring clothes.  Now that I’ll be in the office four days a week, I’ll need more work-appropriate outfits.  We’re business casual, which means comfortable but not too relaxed.  Since I lost the weight I actually like shopping for clothes. So I mentioned my employer offers a “healthy living” program, with incentives such as gift cards and reduced premiums for health insurance.  This month’s focus was heart health, and today I attended a Webinar about heart health. Nothing I didn’t already know, but if I get participation credit for it, why not?   Someone mentioned that we’re all returning to the office. The presenter reminded us that there are exercises you can do at your desk, stretching and such.  I used to do that, and I suppose I can start again. And I really need to do my chair yoga more often, it really ma...

Unbelievable

 It took two days to clear snow off the driveway and sidewalk …only for another storm to hit this morning.  Not a huge storm, but on top of the two feet we got during the blizzard … Winter 2024-2025 I was able to walk around the neighborhood almost every weekend.  This year…I am glad I bought the treadmill. I am so sick of snow.  Make it stop.  Please.

 So much snow!  Even with the snowblower we cleaned only half of the driveway yesterday.  And we have a problem — the town plowed our street but left a huge pile of densely-packed snow at the foot of our driveway.   Ugh. One of my garden flags apparently blew away in the storm.  The cute one, with the snowman and the Valentines hearts. Or maybe it’s buried under the snow.  Only time will tell.  At least I can work from home. I was able to take a walk Saturday —the photos will be posted for Skywatch Friday — but I won’t be able to do that again for awhile.   Pity, because I have a great new case for my water bottle, it even has room for my phone. Great for walks at Jones Beach or Eisenhower Park. Yeah, I’m thinking warm thoughts. Baseball is back.  Yes, it’s just spring training, but still … the season begins March 26.  I’m looking forward to it. We’re starting to think about summer vacation, a roadtrip to … not sure where.  We don’t...

 It’s 10 AM, we’ve already gotten about about 20 inches of snow and it’s still snowing.  Overnight we experienced a “bomb cyclone” and “thundersnow”.  Travel bans still in effect, even the snowplows are getting stuck. My ground level Ring cameras are completely buried.   My other cameras … And a few photos from my front window Can’t show the back yard,the windows are covered with snow.

Yes, blizzard

 That snowstorm last month was bad, but tonight’s storm is going to be worse.  Much worse.  A blizzard is a severe winter storm officially defined by the  National Weather Service  as having sustained winds or frequent gusts of wind in excess of 35 mph and visibility reduced to 1/4 mile, lasting at least 3 hours,  So it started as light snow in the early afternoon …but the snow got heavy by dinner time.  The meteorologist on the 6 o’clock news said the snow was falling at a rate of 1” to 2” per hour, with Long Island expected to get between 18” to 24” by the time the storm ends. We’re also expecting high winds and coastal flooding.  Yep, an authentic blizzard, The back yard: And the front yard: Not too bad yet, but it’s getting worse.  I’ve got one camera that’s already covered in snow and not really recording. There are travel bans on all the roads and highways, and mass transit — buses and trains — will  suspend service tonight. A...
