The snow continues and the wind now gusts around 12 mph.\u00a0 Accumulation so far is minimal, but NOAA says the storm will pick up energy tonight and continue on through tomorrow afternoon.\u00a0 Afterward, the temperature will drop below zero at night and remain in the single digits for highs through Tuesday.\u00a0 This means winter has come on apace.\u00a0 Average over these same dates is 27-28 with lows in the teens.\u00a0 Since October our months have been on a sine curve, wonder if that means January will be balmy?\u00a0 Unlikely, since it’s typically our coldest month, but with the new weather regimen, who knows?<\/p>\n
We began a while ago to swap out incandescents for CFLs, though there are still places like stairwells and coat closets where the instant on power of the Edison heritage bulbs still make sense.\u00a0 We’ll switch to LEDSs when they become affordable and equivalent.\u00a0 It’s still difficult to find CFLs that really match the brightness of incandescents though halogens work well.\u00a0 These transition periods are difficult, finding the new tech that performs as well as the old one takes time, sometimes several generations of the new one.\u00a0 We’re not there yet with efficient lighting.\u00a0 The LED light shown here retails for $129.00.\u00a0 Yikes!<\/p>\n
Oddly, the post on which I’ve received the most comments was one on the Sunday throat.\u00a0 Apparently other folks in the US have friends who find the term odd.\u00a0 Several folks wrote in to say that their family used it.<\/p>\n
Thursday is Jon’s 41st birthday.\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0 I met when he was 21.\u00a0 His life has changed a lot since then.\u00a0 Most notably sobriety, marriage, two kids, home ownership and a good job.\u00a0 It’s been fun to see him grow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
