Noontime high, just in time for a picnic, is -6.  Oy.  If we can slog through this week all bundled up, next week should feel downright Spring-like, at low 30's!  Hurray, haul out the sundresses!

Went out this morning at 4 AM with the dogs and did the cemetery/1.6 mile circuit. A balmy 19 deg. F. No wind. Not bad, actually. Rather enjoyed it.

I wasn't.  Supposed to get cold on the weekend, and rainy.  When you go to work from dark to dark, a sunny 70 degree today is totally not cool.

Freezing rain falls as rain but freezes pretty much on contact with the ground, trees, and streets.  Sleet falls as frozen little pellets that bounce around. 

We're forecast to have a wintry mix starting tomorrow night.

-5 at the house this morning.  -2 when I got to work.  Nice and breezy (-20 w/c.) 

And I've been out in it a good chunk of the day so far.  FML.

Warmest here in several days. 17oF, partly sunny, but colder air is supposed to move in, then warm again, then snow next week.

Of course, the weather prognosticators can't find their own asses with both hands.....

In any case, my tractor's tire chains are now installed.

It is up to 14 degrees now, was -1 early morning.

Mom called to tell me about the Canadian Geese problem for her on the river front.

Big suckers and a huge flock has descended to winter on her front yard. Every year the flock gets larger, and watching them feed in mild weather is a hoot.   One will stand guard as the flock picks about in the lawn for what ever they eat and after a time another Goose will come to relieve the guard so they can eat. 

Last few days with the ground frozen the Geese are going hungry, they have hunkered down on the lawn and Mom swears she counted 80 of them----they spread out to two other yards on both sides of her.

Mother is having fits, she sees few Sea Gulls or Shit Pokes  on the river and wonders how the crows can survive in this weather.   Not a good time for man nor beast.

I tried to tell her to use the air horn to get the Geese off the lawn but she feels too sorry for them.   Come spring she will be up to her ankles in Goose shit and a few rare diseases.   

Any one here know anything about these birds and if they are in your area ????

Canada geese migrate, but not real well as they're still where there's NO FOOD. (Kinda like nomadic tribes in the Sahara that are starving - if they'd move to where the FOOD is, they wouldn't starve.)

(I stole that from Sam Kinison).

They're protected birds under a 1918 federal law, so you can't shoot 'em.

But send a dog out there to roust 'em. A big honkin' dog.

And I've been out in it a good chunk of the day so far.  FML.

It was -4 at the house this morning, and it warmed up to -1 by the time I got to work.  Saranac Lake, where we have an office, was -31 this morning.  Without wind chill.
