Ohio Valley Weather Update

 When I got up this morning, it was pouring rain.  And on my cell phone there were several "snow alerts", saying the rain would change over to snow this morning.  Believe me when I tell you I wanted to just crawl back in bed.  But thank goodness the rain stopped and we haven't had snow.  

Random Fact About Me

 Back in the day, I used to be able to yodel. I listened to an old country song "I Want To Be A Cowboy's Sweetheart" by Patsy Montana, and after listening to it non-stop, I was able to yodel her part in the song. When I got my small portable karaoke machine, I made sure I downloaded that song so I could sing and yodel to my heart's content. 

Winter Is Still Back

 If you've followed me for any amount of time on TWIT, you know that I like to be cool, especially in the winter,  But for the past few weeks with us being in the deep freeze here in the Ohio Valley, the cold has affected me.  After I post this I am putting another Duraflame log in the fireplace.  Just because I can. 

Winter Is Still Back

 Yesterday, the high was 28 and very windy.  We had a few minutes of some snow.  As I type this now, it's 21 and windy.  Enough already.

Winter Is Back

 The weatherazzi is calling for a "coating" of snow tonight, with highs in the low 30s tomorrow.  

I knew it was too good to be true.  

Updates From The Compound

I am very happy to report that we've been steadily getting mail since last Saturday.  And thanks to a couple of 70 degree days this week, the snow is gone. 

My back is better than it was on Sunday but it's still hurting some.  The Old Man is still dealing with sciatica pain, but thank the Lord it's not near as bad as it was the first of the week.  

Yesterday

 Yesterday was one hell of a day.  When I went to bed Saturday night, my lower back was hurting.  There was no way I could get in the bed that it didn't hurt.  When I got up yesterday morning, for a minute I thought I was going to have to use the Old Man's walker. After taking extra strength Tylenol all day and night and after sitting on the heating pad most of the day, when I woke up this morning there was no pain.  I can move around without pain.  Well, almost no pain; the darned arthritis in my knee is flaring up, but I can deal with that.
