Looks like it's hitting a wall just to the west of here. Hope that continues

Trade off . More rain today and a nice sunny, warm weekend . Who cares about rain on a Thursday quarantine?

At least you were able to get outdoors.  I had about 30 min scattered from 6am to 8pm.

It really does suck out there.  Not much more to be said about it.

15 days in a row of N to BN at ORH going into today  even yesterday was -5F

-3.3F MTD

very wet as well. 1.5” AN before today. This will add to that

Sunny days were pretty low but I don’t know the average.

There are no weekends anymore.  It is all yesterday, today, tomorrow.

Yea don't even know what day it is half the time but that's pretty great if you ask me. You all are getting a taste of retirement only unable to do anything outside your home. But you have to appreciate the slow pace

To be fair, we’ve had some dry weekend days and with current sun angle it’s manageable.   But the lack of real warmth is sucky and astounding.

Yeah. I keep mentioning how it feels like retirement to my wife.  I don’t mind the quarantine too much for myself. I feel bad for the majority who are negatively affected.  We have done a ton of walking. Out in the yard as much as weather allows.

The weird thing is that I think my working hours are a little longer now that I am working from home.  Very strange

At what point does your school close for good?

Same for me.  Before the work day was determined by the commuter rail schedule.  Now it is so much easier to hop on the computer with my morning coffee and work later into the afternoon.  Of course it has taken a bit more time to do a lot of things remotely, and all of those Zoom and Teams meetings . . .  On the other hand, I can't complain because I still have my job!!!

June 19 is our last day

[moneypitmike]

Having worked from home most of my professional life (including the new job I just started--yay, me!), my life has not changed at all.  M--F are the same and weekends are still what I crave and find at EOD on Fridays.

I take that back....having my wife working from home and daughter home from school makes things different.  But aside from that, life is life!

High PWATs  ftw

Speaking of work-actually going in every day is oddly stabilizing.  My hours are long but weekends with nothing to do always was my preference.  I’ve traveled all over the world-being under a SAH order isn’t so bad for a change.  I will be disappointed if I can’t hike and swim at the lake this summer though.
