^^^^ Sounds like Scrooge ^^^^ Be close to 60* here for Christmas. Time to unpack the shorts and sandals again... But also means we have mud...

Where oh where has everyone gone? Joined the ranks of computerized "trucks"? Or joined the ranks of the Herald Angels? Or just life too busy to post/share?

Oh well, thanks Oliver, and Merry Christmas to the Dodge/Cummins family still out there!!!

Well it looks like winter up here, with about 8 inches of snow on the ground. I have plowed the driveway twice so far this season.

High of 11F tomorrow is the forecast. Should be a brisk day for my daughter and me to head out into our woods and cut down a Christmas tree.

Dang. It snowed here yesterday, great big fluffy flakes like the size of a quarter, beautiful but barely stuck. Just a dusting.

In Kentucky, if you don't like the weather - just wait a few minutes...

Good morning and a very Merry Christmas to y'all from way down south.
None of that horrible white stuff down here and don't expect any. My old truck has never seen snow. Today is the shortest day of the year and while not quite shorts weather early in the mornings, the afternoons are very pleasant.

Yah, whatever. 29° and persistent high winds with a threat of freezing rain through the weekend. I currently have about 4" of crusted over snow left on top of a thick layer of ice. My Home Depot snowplow is broken again, same problem, electrical. 1st gen is running fine. The colony cats have hunkered down somewhere. Only one has been showing up occasionally at the feeding station.

Bingo. Won't be home from work till 24th afternoon.

On the bright side, it's a balmy 11°C up here at the 52nd parallel. No trace of snow. Merry Christmas!🎄

well, it's warmed up here today. 47 deg and bright sunshine. Wife's gone to a Christmas party while scrooge is right here in my easy chair wit the little heater by my side. The kitties are asleep which is a change from their usual terrorist playing.

Stay Frosty Y'All!

In the 20s-ish here in Pennslytucky. The white garbage keeps falling out of the sky but it hasn't been lasting very long.

I've been working on paying jobs in the shop after work to help finance the Dodge addiction. My Cummins RamCharger is the front line fighter currently until I can get the heads back on my Urban Assault Subaru.

Today is the Winter Solstice, and things will get brighter every day for a while. And the Mad Elf has been the drink of choice today.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Heard of that holiday my whole life but never really knew what it was so I looked it up. I like the concept. There's a food box down the road at a crossroads where the old Union Store used to stand before it burned down in the 70's. Time to clean out the cupboard and add to the stock there.

Didn't find any CTD gifts under the tree but I did receive my deckplate in the mail. Now to find out more about my heater core leak...

Happy Boxing Day all!

Yes! Happy Boxing Day. I tried to get the wife interested in a match but she wasn't interested in lacing up the gloves.

The last few days have been drizzely rain and just generally miserable weather but temps have been above freezing. The truck hasn't been started in weeks. The wife mostly takes me back and forth places. Thankfully she brings me home also.

We had a decent Christmas Day with Sues nephew and sister etc... Didn't watch any football however.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!

Edwin

I got distracted. Should have been wrenching on the beast. Expecting 2-4 inches of rain this weekend.

I am ripping up 18 yo carpet. Laying laminate instead. Fiance is flying up in 14 days.
