More of That Dam*ed Global Warming…

25 degrees fahrenheit and falling… at around noon today.

Good thing I had nowhere pressing to go and had stocked up on essentials (coffee, etc.) earlier this week, cos the car doors are frozen shut with freezing rain, sleet and finally snow, and the strrrets nearest us are still too hazardous to walk (drive, maybe, should I decide to take extreme measures and unfreeze car doors).

Of course, sarcastically titling this post “blaming” cold weather on “global warming” is as disingenuous as global warmists/climate change alarmists blaming local occurances of excessive heat, flooding or whatever on “global warming” or “climate change” (whatever that means: the climate has a history of changing, ya know… it’s the nature of, urm, nature to do so, ya see).

So, grabbing another cuppa joe, sitting back and working on some knotty network issues (resolving another “These OSes don’t wanna talk to each other nicely” thingy–*heh*), kicking back with my Wonder Woman (who’s off today cos schools of all kinds closed all over the area w/in a 35-50 mile radius–heck, Son&Heir even has the day “off” to work exclusively on some papers instead of sitting i n classes).

The dogs are enjoying their thick fur coats (heck, Leo’s coat is so oily, the ice crystals barely stick, and Buttons’ coat is so think, all the ice does is add more insulation. *heh* They’re happy campers in the cold, moreso than in the heat). The cats are going crazy in the rather sudden weather change. Naturally. Cos they can.

Snow. Kinda nice change.

One of our Good Neighbors is off across the creek (just outside city limits) burning some gathered tree limbs and leaves. He tends to do that when wet is coming down pretty strongly. Smart guy. Less chance of fire spreading, although the creek and his close supervision pretty much assures no threat to houses nearby, anyway.

Spread some of the coffee grounds Lovely Daughter gets from Starbucks for us (to use primarily as a soil amendment) on the drive and walk to aid in melting ice/snow, instead of adding salt to the area. Works fairly well, but I’m not using coffee grounds on the car doors. *heh*

Lazy day. I think I’ve been needing one of those.
