Good morning to everyone on the Front Porch! Welcome to 2019. We had an overnight snow to ring in the new year. Going to be a slow day today.

For once up at crack of dawn, and miss roll call so, afternoon it is.

25* and snowing with wind it’s a lovely 13*, Chelli’s not enjoying the day.

Forgot the picture from last 2 storms yesterday, today you see what fell.

And the storm for the weekend has been canceled instead we’ll merely get cold, single digit temp’s and high winds.

Makes life worth living.2 1/2 feet from 2 clippers

Time to shovel out the oil fill, which is 8 feet in and 3 feet down from the snow plow guys, who were kind enough to plow town out.

And yes, after long days/nights, I'd still like to swing these hunks of glass , plastic and silicon against the nearest wall Come on retirement!

@Frozenoem...I swear, Froze, you live in your own little "weather world" up there! GEEZE!

I'm already annoyed that we may get an inch from this southern storm coming by Saturday into Sunday. Hoping it will pass waaay to the south of Philly. N.

Not to worry Maine weather is just weird.

Present 15* with 15 mph wind, wind chill factor makes it 0*. Think that means I’ve lived here too long, computation on the fly.

Tried for an hour to chop my way to oil fill - failed miserably. tomorrow the mattock comes out (kind of a splitting axe on its side) if that doesn’t happen, Nothing much will open the path.

And on that note need to feed stove, and walk Chelli, if she goes out.

Good Friday morning to everyone on the Front Porch! We are expecting temps that are above average for a while here. Not much moisture here also. Yes I said moisture as we had about an inch of rair during our all day rain. They are forecasting heavy snowfall for the St Louis area with nothing North of the Illinois border. We have no snow cover as the rain melted it.

I am new here. Curious. To the one called Lighthouse Keeper, is that what you truly get to do? Kelly

@k836981m Welcome to the Front Porch!

I became a member of this group in January of 2009 when I retired. I live in Madison, Wisconsin and became a fan of Lighthouses about 18 years ago. Wisconsin has a lot of Lighthouses on Lake Michigan and Green Bay and I have visited about 3/4 of them. I have posted articles about them here. In the Fall of 2009 after my wife Mary and I were both retired we took a 2 week trip along the Pacific coast visiting relatives and Lighthouses.

Over the years I have been active in trying to get Congress to provide funding Lighthouse repairs. In this economy that has been minimal but we need to do what we can to preserve our history. Many private groups have funded and have done repairs to local Lighthouses.

I have a few pictures I will post of lights I have visited.

Morning 9*/-7* wind chill today the mattock and sledges come out, need to lose new ice cap over oil fill.

Oil fill gets de-icer spray, not pretty when vinyl siding gets hit in temps this low.

Hope you all have lovely day, I enjoy snow, ice not so much.

@n566192l...Well, how'd you like the snow you must have gotten last night?

We got a little...enough for me to not go to the grocery store this morning. Too risky with my legs, back, and balance. I did go out later to clean off the car, but I had my ice grippers on. Know I should have ordered that spike for my cane before this!

Saw some deer prints in the snow on my driveway.

Hope everyone stays safe and warm.

"Good morning, Front Porchers!"

"And yes, this is me smiling!" It's super cold here -- 28 degrees with an expected high of 31. Brrrrrrrrrrrrr! Anyway, despite the cold, no snow is expected. Fingers and toes crossed. I hope at this writing, you all are doing okay. Enjoy today! And I'll keep smilimg!

Morning it’s sunny and 5* , and that may be the high for today.

-12* if you’re a wind chill kinda person, or 10 minutes to frostbite on exposed skin.

Today will be more firewood kinda day, it’s in the garage.🤣

One Of those many warms that come from using firewood. Drop tree, haul out, cut, split, stack, move, stack, move into house, stack , burn.

But, it does warm me more than oil.

With luck will try to remind in AM.🤣

Presently above freezing warming feet. Still hacking at oil fill. SUCCESS!

Discovered there is another way to fall backwards, woodcart went forward on ramp and I discovered my lower back again, and I went other way.🤣

20* sunshine and feels like 12* to me that’s a heatwave comparatively speaking.

Greetings All

Just cloudy and cold in New Jersey. I was able to get some some outside for the Lupus truck to pick up today.

Frozenoem, going to the UPS later, and bringing your package to the post office for mailing.

Then just hanging out with the pups, up to six. I really need to put in a doggie door. Mr Pickles, is back and going out with the State Police for the day or longer. Since, Mr Pickles, a King Shepard, is so big it is a help. Plus, Mr Pickles, is so highly trained, he gets board unless he keeps busy. The troopers just love this dog, I didn't even know all the things Mr Pickles was capable of pointing out.

I hope everyone enjoys their day.

Tracking number you need to get one. Sorry forgot what I was supposed to remember.

17* and sunshine, may hit upper 20’s making it a heatwave. No wind involved today.

Need to go play on woodpile, slowly. If this is maturity don’t want to play.

I have not reported in for a while. My life is pretty boring. Not much weather to complain about either. Not terribly cold this winter and not unseasonably warm either. Hohum. Just letting you all know I am still here and gettin by. That is all the enthusiasm I can muster for now.

check in when you wish to, and I’ll try the same.😇
