Today is my first day back to my job site and though I never got too down during the past year (I think I'm made for outdoor drinking), I had a sense of optimism on the way in this morning that we've turned a corner. I won't have many students returning next week, but I'm looking forward to seeing and interacting with the ones that do. Hopefully, the dosages continue to ramp up and we can move on past 1C soon.

My cat likes the regular every year cicada, so this year will be a smorgasbord for her. In 2004, I had just bought my old house and started renovating it that spring. I didn't have AC yet and the sound from first light to evening was piercing. We got the addition closed in by mid June and I had to shop vac about three inches of dead cicadas out of my new crawl space. I can't wait for this year's brood.

It's so good to hear so many people are able to get the vaccine. Hopefully this is the beginning of a faster rollout.

We were able to score three out of four for our parents. We could have gone four for four but my 90 year dad old doesn’t want the vaccine. Who am I to argue with a guy that smoked two packs of unfiltered Lucky Strikes for 60 years? If you want to have some fun with the 17 year cicadas, trick a buddy into helping you do a fictitious project that involves a circular saw. I swear they will swarm the sound like it’s the mother of all cicadas. I thought the guy working on my house 17 years ago was going to kill himself swinging the circular saw around in the air to keep the bugs off of him.

Those guys are idiots.

Still sleet here. Must be some cold wrapped up in the end. Send it this way, please.

Steady snow. The radar looks great.

WWA's extended to include 95. edit: Up to 95.

That's been the obs here since the pandemic started.

Light snow just starting.

Beautiful shots, @WinterWxLuvr. Have you built the home? I thought that was just property.

If you took that, frame it. That's a keeper shot.

Damn, you all. Be careful.

Got to 18 here and now 21

Take this winter crap to a winter thread!

We spent the afternoon on the eastern shore hitting up a couple of breweries. Came home to a delivery that I broke into for my Manhattan. No judging.

Yeah, ask me again in July when it’s 98 and sultry here and 76 in Maine at a picnic table with lobsters and fried clam strips.

I don’t want to quote your entire post, but for me it’s not about “too much snow” rather than winter goes on too long. There’s a late season storm almost every year that’s dumping snow and ice in NE and I’m out working in the yard or garden under sunny skies, and breezy mid 50’s. I don’t want winter to outstay its welcome.

There’s like zero chance of that map being right, but come March, I’m ready for it. And @WxWatcher007, if you’re sneaking around this thread looking for victims, count me out. I’ll still be looking for snow between fishing days.

I totally agree. I wish there was cold powder blowing off the rooftops but this is pretty nice. 27 and bright blue skies.

The pod here is heading to Ten Eyck Brewery this afternoon if you want to hike and stumble.

Already planning a Sunday Funday.
