...I DID spend half an hour at chiselling sufficient ice off the car to make it safely drivable this morning. Why do you ask?

First the cold, now the snow.
Supposedly 3-4 inches before it quits. And it’s not even officially Winter yet.

Getting gloomy in the north:
Aieee! (Five minutes later, looking southeast.):
After all that excitement, it barely rained here (although points west and south got a bit). Later on, things cleared off; right now it’s sunny and high 90s.

Crowbarring a 208-volt circuit produces a considerably brighter flash than if it had been only 120 volts.

In a corner of my front yard is a forsythia bush. It’s been there for as long as I’ve had the house, and has never been a notable bloomer. Some springs, all I get are a few yellow leaves, followed by the usual masses of green.
This year, I’d made up my mind: No more. Come summer, I’d yank the old bush out and replace it with something else. So of course I would walk out the door on Saturday morning to find:
The same bush, (with a bad sun angle) this afternoon:
One of the best displays it’s ever had (though it’s still not as impressive as one down the block):
So what to do? Give it some TLC for another year, or ruthlessly yank it and start over?

Meanwhile, the magnolias have made their appearance almost three weeks early, and are spectacular:
And the dandelions are already blooming, meaning it’s nearly too late for this year’s crabgrass treatment. Seems as if everything blossomed at once!
