Wednesday Reading - It’s Chilly Back There Week
It’s a bit before 7 a.m. and the thermometer in the back yard reads 61 degrees, as a typically Southern Californian high pressure barricade pushes the real weather off to the north - but I’m not buying any anthropogenic global warming explanation because the poor Watcher of Weasels posted this week’s blog entries despite this:
For the second day in a row I got up at 4:30 in the morning to plow the snow out of my driveway. Yesterday morning I had about 6 inches worth of heavy powder and it was a real bear. The temperature was 9° and a wind chill at minus 12°. Whoa, that’s cold!
This morning we had a repeat performance with a little added gusting. Approximately 4 inches was added to the snow that was already on my plot and the wind was making it insufferable. I cleared a small area because it was still snowing and it quickly filled back in. We expect 6 more inches this morning.
Sounds like perfect weather to stay home with a big pot of tea and some good reading. I can provide the latter:
