Mrs.J

Yeah we do wind quite well. Sorry to hear flu has hit your house. That is never fun. I have heard it is bad this year. As for the Bronchitis I am on a multitude of meds. Got a Z Pak on board, pills to curb my coughing and an Inhaler. Back in my college days I had my first bout of it and it was bad. On the day of my graduation I had to carry a spit cup with me for when I had stuff come up. Once you have it you are more likely to get it. I know the signs so I did catch this bout early. But have not slept for 3 days as I cannot lay down without coughing. You need to catch it early so it does not go into Pneumonia. The Z Pak has already made a difference. Should be ok in a week.

And we are back to cold and wind. That warm spell while enjoying the warmer temps did not help. Just got diagnosed with Bronchitis as a secondary infection from a Sinus Infection. Happy that my doctors office has weekend walk in hours. And glad it was not the Flu.

Just turned on lights the room we are in got very dark. Snow flying.

Can see the front coming through

.54” here.

Cannot sleep tonight.

Hit 62.4 at 3:24 this afternoon after the clouds moved off. Back down to 57 now.

58.6 under thick clouds here.

Same. Went out to bring in the trash can, they came super early. Saw it was 53 on my station and was like yeah lets see. Surprised to walk out of the garage into balmy spring like conditions. Even a hint of a bit of moisture sometime over night. Nothing on my station so must have been very light but just enough to make things damp. Kind of making it hard to eat my breakfast of oatmeal with blueberries and bananas.

Yeah apparently to get sun and some nice weather the wind is required.

The sun has just come out here. This is normal for this area. I can drive around Frederick and head over to VA and get to Leesburg and it be sunny. Or head south in to Montgomery Co. and you hit the county line and it is sunny. Sometimes you can see light all the way around but Frederick is sitting under clouds. Guessing it is because we are in a valley.

Another gray day. Last nights only view of the full moon was the brighter cloud deck.

OMG that brings back memories of being sick and staying home from school. Ginger Ale and pack of saltines on a tray table next to the couch. Yep I just dated myself.

27 currently. Some blue skies breaking through.

Anyone hear about this.

While I am not to your NW, almost parallel to you but West. I swear I saw a flash out my bedroom window last night to my NW. Looked at my radar and nothing. So interesting to see someone else saw something. I have nothing nice to say about waking up to yet another day of wind. It has disturbed the order of things in this household. The cats have been enjoying a small outdoor Pay Per View bird buffet from some left over Christmas tree branches and seed outside the slider door. They all think it is rude that the wind dared to blow their entertainment across the deck. We told them we would rebuild.

Our bedroom faces NW. I think this wind is the loudest I have heard in quite a while. The younger Ms. J said while driving back home today on our street she saw a street lamp blown down.

Picked the right dinner tonight. Listening to the wind throw twigs at the back of the house eating some Arabic meatball soup. Still dislike wind though.

I see blue in the sky!!

Sitting under this.

Currently under a decent blob of precipitation. Looks like rain but not coming up on my weather station. Currently 34.

Drove home from the feed store under a small patch of sleet. Made a report on mPING as it is very sparse around here.

Just had some sleet down here. Like I have said. I am really hoping this system slides through with nothing. Not today anyways.

I have to do some serious radar watching. We need to decided the exact last minute we can do our animal sitting jobs. So far my estimated time to do the horses is no later than 2. As for the younger Ms. J who has a hour long drop in we told her that she as of now should plan on being at her job by 1 so she can leave by 2. I have seen some stuff out West of the area I am going to but it looks light. And I do not mind driving in a bit of snow. Ice is a different story. Eyes will be glued to the radar for the next few hours.

I am actually ok with this today. I am taking care of my friend’s horses in VA just across from Point Of Rocks. And the younger Ms J has two pet sitting drop ins around Frederick. I do not want any ice. I am still going to watch to see if we both need to move our afternoon/ evening care times up. The sky to the east though is a fireball. And we all know red sky at night sailors delight. Red sky in the morning sailors take warning.
