Few times we had grass covered in that pathetic year We were a little too far west in the early December storm that year and only got about 2". I think my biggest event was 2.5" otherwise.

Between that and not having much of a dog in the fight as you say, there was definitely no staying up for the 00z Euro... or the 12z on some days. Yeah, 2022 picked up right where 2021 left off, all shit. My entire family has had COVID now over the past three weeks minus me and my wife, as far as we know. My kids all bounced back quickly, my oldest son is completely asymptomatic and my grandson only had a fever for a couple days that thankfully broke a few days ago now. My mother though tested positive a couple days ago and she was diagnosed with Stage 3 lung cancer last week. My SIL was able to get her the 5 days OTC pills that were approved a few weeks ago. My mother reports some improvement this morning but still really tired, stuffy and a cough, and she was already on an O2 concentrator but she's putting up a fight which is obviously good. The same day we found out about my mother last week I had to put the family cat down, it was time as he was sick but it all sucks. Trying to focus on the positives and take 'em as they come. Take care of yourself and that goes for everyone here, dammit! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the mantras I drilled into my sons heads from a young age is a slight twist on a Denis Leary quote which I adapted to "Sometimes life sucks so you better have a helmet" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care of yourself and that goes for everyone here, dammit! Good afternoon Irish. Sometimes, with difficulty, I look back at the path I’ve taken seemingly without choice. Being alone, as my decline accelerates, it seems only with the interaction of some others, such as those on this forum, to help me remain alert and thinking. I think about paths such as the one you and others presently navigate. Looking at them keeps me from the danger of becoming self absorbed. I still will continue to believe in light and happy endings. Irish, all the positive energy I can generate I send to your mother and your entire family. Stay well, my friend. The world we woke to today was one of frozen beauty. Though it won’t last, it’s lesson will. We will all find peace. As always …. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My asymptomatic son just text that one of his buddies out at ND, who has felt like crap for a week now, tested negative on two PCR tests but took three at home tests where he swabbed his throat and all three came back positive. Interesting stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure weather brought us here but at the end of the day we all have other things in common, the main thing being life. So whatever we can do to help each other out is a good thing. I didn't want my post to seem like attention getting but I alluded to stuff going on in one of my posts and Julian gave me the opportunity to elaborate. I really can't stand when people check themselves in at a hospital on social media for example and then don't say why they are there. I think one should either come out with it or not say anything and there's nothing wrong with coming out with it. I know I appreciate folks opening up a bit and not because I'm nosey but because we all have been through our fair share of shit in life and through shared experiences maybe we can help each other out. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

etudiant Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Hey Irish, So sorry to hear about your family issues. We all have them, in greater or lesser amounts. Sadly we all get old and frail, certainly not what we'd planned for, but life happens. Just keep the faith, it will work out somehow. Please keep adding your wit and wisdom to this site, it's what makes the place worth visiting. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks everyone, it’s not about me but I do appreciate it, we all have our own challenges and battles. I do believe that tough guys/gals face those challenges and talk about them so I’m here for all of you as well if/when needed. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All this buildup and I had a morning low of 9° exactly 6 degrees below the normal low for the date. I realize it won't rise much so the high should be well below the average high of 35 but give me below0 before we start talking about cold like we haven't seen in several years. Ridic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dunno, it only got to about 16 when I was out and about this afternoon so 20 below avg is pretty significant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
