Been in the new house six nights now - and stepping outside just now - this is probably the first real clear night and holy hell - stars! Visible and not covered up with city light wash!
So…my new house is an old farmhouse really - and it has by-god old fashioned cellar doors on the outside like I am on the plains. I am 100% if we ever have a tornado warning gonna have to skip the inside basement entrance to exit the house and dramatically throw them open and descend pulling them shut behind me as the tornado approaches. I’ve seen Twister and the wizard of Oz. Done and done.
Not that it matters for the tiny event I murdered for tomorrow, but when the moving truck pulled out from former abode with me and the pup heading out at the same time it was 42 and when I arrived at my new home in monkton it was 37. That temp difference is absolutely one of the things I was happy to move for - really looking forward to not having to sweat temps as much up here in the marginal events (which , really, is every event anymore).
I didn't do quite as well as you on an attempt to upgrade local snow conditions, but I have given myself a better shot in theory- moving trucks Tuesday and I leave North Balt City for Monkton. At least I won't have to sweat temps in marginal events quite as much up there I hope.
