Well, here in Ross’ and my area of the U P of Michigan we just got the alert that they changed the Winter Storm Warning to a Blizzard warning for early tomorrow (Sunday) morning till Tuesday morning. Actually, it’s for the entire U P. Some areas could get up to 4 feet of snow. Not exactly sure where but probably the far western parts of the U P. Would never know it as today we have beautiful blue skies and full sunshine. Needless to say we’ll be having our meeting on zoom….that is if we have electricity. Forecasted winds up to 60 mph.

O and when the warning expires tonight (Tuesday) at 7 pm then we’re under an advisory till 7 pm tomorrow. The way this winter has been going they’ll either extend it or upgrade it. 🙄

Been watching a storm chaser down in Plymouth Mass. all day. My goodness! It’s gonna take forever to dig out. Here in the U P of Michigan it seems like we’ve been under weather advisory’s or storm warnings or even blizzard warnings all winter. The advisory ran its course for today. now for tomorrow we’re already under a winter storm warning. UGH! I am boycotting winter. I won’t be seen till August. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I went on my search engine and couldn’t find the cause. 🤷‍♀️ Looks like it’s still under investigation? I could be wrong.

Actually we’ve had a sunny day today. 💃💃💃💃💃💃 I’m hoping it’s not waiting to hit us over night…like it usually does. Watching Storm chasers down in Lower Michigan. Snow in some places is coming down pretty good but NO blinding blizzard there either. 🤷‍♀️

Yes, we are under a winter storm warning till tomorrow at 7 pm. We didn’t get much over night tho at least not here by the lake. I think Ross got more than we did here. I am not ready for this.

I saw that too. Yeah, I definitely stay home on holidays. Not only for that reason but because people are NUTS.

Went thru that with my dad. But he had Alzheimer’s and could never figure out how to get home. It’s definitely not an easy thing to do. Especially if they are still really independent. An (90+) elder’s son had to finally take the car and keys. They would tell them they couldn’t go to other towns to shop. Next thing one of the friends would see them in the store. What I sometimes think about and makes me chuckle is this is the same elder who always said: “If you’re driving and swat a fly, get into an accident and kill someone you are bloodguilty.” Apparently, that thought wasn’t for a 90+ individual. 🤣🤣 This can be very scary.

Actually I went to our search engine to see what I could find. I found a couple Booker Miller in TX but not Houston I found 2 Bob Beam, in Yucca Valley, CA. One is 85, & one is 106

Our Memorial is at 8:30.

I finally had it with the ongoing awful back pain I’ve been dealing with…. for years. I always blamed it on my scoliosis. But the past few years shoveling snow has been getting harder (very painful lower back). So I finally saw my doctor about it yesterday (the 10 th). Took X-rays and got the diagnosis last night. Keeping family tradition, (Dad had rheumatoid arthritis) I have a form of arthritis in my spine. Or as they call it: “Facet Arthropathy”. Haven’t heard from the doc yet, so I’m wondering what his plan will be. I am not looking forward to any injections in my back if that’s what he plans. 🥺 One of the explanations was: “Multilevel degenerative changes of the lumbar spine, including moderate disc height loss at L5-S1, mild disc height loss at L3-L4 and facet arthropathy throughout the lumbar spine.” I think this also answers my question as to the reason my neck snaps, crackles and pops at times.

As of Friday, the town where I live, the Circle K is still $2.99. But the one about 45 Mike’s away was $3.09.

Imagine what we can learn about those tiny creatures in Paradise. We’ll have all the time we need for that. And yes, I am gonna enjoy that too. And finding something to comment on is much easier too.
