Some decent weather news came across the broadcast this evening, though I think the weather gal doesn't want people in her life just now...warm air temps in the upper 50s, maybe clipping low 60s both Sunday and Monday...

...The counsel was to get out and enjoy the nice weather for the next 2 days, because the following 3 days its gonna rain, with Thursday being the drencher...

So what's a good project for a nice 2 days outdoors? Cleaning out the gas grill, I'd say. Time to spark up the old propane and give the burgers and weenies their first taste of early spring weather.

What say you? Your early spring projects taking shape yet?

Completed home projects yesterday. Enough.

Today I will fire up both the motorcycle and the grill, go for a long ride, come back and grill a pork tenderloin. There will probably be a cigar thrown into the mix. Pretty cool for Feb! Enjoy!

Mountain biking in MA today... can't wait to be outdoors.

Spent yesterday afternoon at Tree House Brewery - now that was a good afternoon!

Bloody Mary and a nap.

Washed my car.

Of the same mind. Activities that include some fresh air and sunshine.

Many folks on similar forums are into biking. Some physical activity followed by quenching one's thirst. Commendable.

I guess you already had your fun last night. Try to keep up, thanks.

Washed my car.

Something I need to do as well. Actually do the job myself instead of visiting the car wash. Then, the grill later today.

It's February.
Let it rain.
You don't need to shovel rain.

Am more favorable to gentle spring rains than snow or T-storms. I think Tuesday through Thursday it's going to be a washout with some localized flooding. +1 on not digging out from snow. At my age, that can be a hazard, both from potential icy falling dangers, but from overexertion. One reason for the diet and exercise routine these days.

I hope this warm up melts the glacier that is my driveway. The UPS guy is really getting tired of having to wear climbing cleats to get to the summit where my house is.

Yeah, I hear that. Where about are you, W? If upper NW NY State, it'll be a while.

Ah, just checked. SW NY State is still on the snow-receiving end-of-things. Best wishes, and sand.

Am heading out now for washing the car and cleaning the grill. Think I'll do the grill first, in case of a pop-up shower takes care of my car wash for me (one can hope).

 

[gush]

I'm enjoying 50 degree weather in SE Iowa sat sun.

Busy all day Saturday but sunday I'm hauling a Harley for my buddy and trying to finish up a welding project on a trailer I intend to use to haul my skid steer.

My son has been taking welding classes in school so he will get some burn time!

I'm an hour +/- south of Buffalo above Olean. The sunshine today is helping but the lower portion of the drive is shaded and usually doesnt melt until March or April.

Found some open water and went fishing. Not catching but at least I was doing it.

Rainmaker coming through Monday through Wednesday for you folks. Not sure if ice or snow is part of your forecast, ours in NW CT is showers Tues & Wed, then the soaker Thursday...thinking that work this week is gonna be rough what with bending, lifting and reaching one day of 3. The muscles and joints feel it when the barometric pressure falls...

 

[Wakester]

Yeah, my knees are already feeling it. Cant wait until summer. FWIW, My brother lives in Uncasville, and my dad was from Ansonia/Derby. We even have a road named after the family there

 

[gush]

Well a couple hours ago I was told 6 inches of snow coming with a possibility of 12 inches total.

THIS SUCKS

Yep. I heard up to 15 here, or as little as 2.

Get outside and enjoy it!

I live in southeast Texas, south of Houston near the coast, and it never even hit the 32 mark this winter, which is unusually warm even here. So the grill and griddle never stopped being used... I do love outdoor cooking.
