Ms. Stretch @MsStretch , did you get SNOW? 🤔

 

I did, my 1st for this WINTER!! 😭

 

Lol, got to go dig out my shovel... 🤣🤣

 

On the "serious" side - not much, just enough to look "pretty" on TOPS of cars! 💃🥳

 

So since I am RETIRED and do not have to go anywhere until Wednesday for my weekly "out of food" run = I will let the "rain" (which has arrived) WASH it off. 😉 Took me until last year to LEARN "easy" snow removal being from Florida. 🙄

 

The only concern I have is when the snow becomes ICE instead of "melting" when it RAINS. 😭

 

Hmmm, I think @Frozenoem and Lee @LeeS4949 JINXED me with all that talk about digging out from their mess... 🤔

 

Dave @DaveMcK , hope you and Mary are all bungled up and keeping warm.

 

The same for you @LaDolceVita and @catwoman500 .

 

My daughter in Florida FORGOT the time changed today. 🙄 Usually I text her to "remind" her but working on NOT being the "annoying" Ma. 🙄 But will return to being one in November for our NEXT time change./lol 😂🤣

 

HAPPY SUNDAY porchers & "other" community board members! 🥳💃

 

Luv you ALL,

Nicole 🙃

We stayed in on Saturday. 

We adventured out on Sunday to a brunch with family for Mary's birthday!

 One of our daughters and Son-in-law drove us. A great time was had by all.

@Anonymous , yup, looking at flakes as I type. ❄️ No, wait, they stopped. Lasted all of 10 minutes. 😮‍💨 Whew!   Funny thing is I checked my weather app and it said 30% chance of heavy snow.  WHAT?!!  Then I saw it was weather for Elkton and I remembered I had been checking the weather near the Blue Ridge for another excursion next week in Shenandoah NP.

 

In the 40s here, down to the high 30s tonight so no chance of freezing roads. ⛸️

Looks like I may be getting a storm Tuesday and Wednesday, subject to change as always it’s the East after all🤣.

 

Of heavy and wet that’ll be a first for this winter, and I’ll disappear, as per usual.

 

If light and fluffy see me then, I’ve heard so many amounts I’m confused.Even Hillbilly Weatherman out of NH is throwing different amounts for a change.Probably 6-10”+.

 

Hope y’all have fun, I brought in firewood so, what else is new. Have food and coffee, and percolators standing by.

 

Looks like I’ll see the lawn sometime around April?

Hey Porch Peeps!

Picked up my rye bread and corned beef so I can have a sandwich tomorrow. Also picked up some Irish soda bread scones. There was a time I would make soda bread, but too much trouble now. 😹

 

Here’s to the land of the shamrock so green.

Here’s to each lad and his darling colleen.

Here’s to the ones we love dearest and most.

And may God save old Ireland- that’s an Irishman’s toast.

 

One more day...

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all Porch Peeps!

@DaveMcK, @Anonymous, @Frozenoem, @MsStretch, @LaDolceVita (and everyone else who happens on by today!)...a few more Irish toasts:

 

 

May the leprechauns be near you to spread luck along your way.

And may the Irish angels smile upon you on St. Patrick’s Day.

 

St. Patrick was a gentleman, who through strategy and stealth, drove all the snakes from Ireland. Here’s a bumper to his health.

 

And the most traditional of Irish blessings…

May the road rise to meet you, may the wind be always at your back, the sun shine warm upon your face, the rain fall soft upon your fields, and until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow of His hand.

 

And here's a photo of my Irish coffee... It was delicious!

Congrats on the new grand haven’t had one of them in 18-19 years? I may have parked my memory somewhere in 2020 when everyone stopped aging.😎. .


Finally awake for roll call 👍 and trying my first cup of 207 dark roast coffee using the finest Marcal paper towel filter.🤣

 

Cracked my bottles of Bushmill and Jameson’s on St. Patty’s Day, purely for medicinal purposes, mixed with my coffee.

 

My mailbox has been located once more with the remainder of the pole, it was returned from a mile down the road. Now, I only need to find lag bolts and a couple of angle brackets with a new mailbox vs the mangled one and I should be golden again.

 

The snowpack is dwindling for the moment, haven’t spied my RX yet, perhaps after this weekends snow, or April.Barely 4.5’ left with 6”+ coming for the mountains. At least daytime temp’s have hit the 40’s for optimum melting temperatures and mud season  to begin.🤔

 

I spied my first bud on an actual tree yesterday, the flowers shouldn’t take much longEr to appear. Enjoy.

ps I think today is cocktail day, I may partake in some.

Hoping everyone is ready for a Spring weekend. Ours will bring the last snow Friday night and Saturday I hope.

Speaking of lost I'm not able to restore my avatar that just went away! It is like the screen to change my Avatar is Frozen.

@DaveMcK 

Without a Windows computer or iMac the best suggestion is either at your local library or school, and logging in with your user name and password and returning your avatar that way.

 

I know the feeling though, keep forgetting to change my signature line when sitting at “Windows computer” or anyone else’s.

 

I’m lucky iphone sometimes plays nicely with AARP, other times, they’re fixing it and I totally forget to change anything.

 

Note: to NY and others check your local weather app if not snowing tonight and tomorrow and if in dark enough conditions without clouds, you may See the northern lights tonight and tomorrow.

Missed my chance last night it was raining and I honestly don’t feel like driving to the county (around 4 hours away for tonight’s show) .

Enjoy

@Frozenoem 

Thanks for your comments. 

My past experience has been that I have been able to change my Avatar two to three times a year for several years.

Now my Avatar went away and I can not restore it or install a  new one.

You need to borrow a Windows computer and pray that you can find your NEW password for entry to your account, via the login box.

 

That method has worked for most, tomorrow with luck I’ll remember to do that Re: my signature line.

@Anonymous , windy here 🌬️, but no notices from Dominion about possible outages.  In fact, I don't think I've ever seen a notice from the power company; it's usually from the weather service.  I can hear it howling now.

 

@DaveMcK , glad to see you got your avatar just in time for the opening of the season. ⚾

Saw my mailbox will get to it but, not for abit.

First tonight’s snow🤬 and my lower lumbar is gone, I may be close to pinning spine.

 Prescription hasn’t surfaced as yet.

 

But, my oil fill has reappeared now if the remaining snowbanks disappear in another week perhaps the envelope will appear, barely 4-5’ pile.

 

Tomorrow or later Saturday 👀 ng forward to rain and temp’s hitting 49* perhaps.

Hey, Peeps,

Happy April!

 

Got a phone call at 8 AM...woke me up but I couldn't get to phone in time. Thought it was an April Fool's joke. It was a credit card fraud alert. Booted up the computer and saw an email about a fraud alert. As I was reading the email another call came in from the bank. Geez! I am smart enough not to call the # they give you, so called the # on the back of my card. No problem. The charges they were concerned about were legitimate. Glad they are on the ball, but not so early on a Saturday morning thank you!

You all have a lovely day. Weather here is miserable and could get worse. 😾
