Our sun drenched living room yesterday - nice passive solar heat and with help from our gas propane fireplace which we leave on most of the day during cold snaps like we're having now |
Yes, we're still trapped by the cold (five degrees this morning), snow and ice.
We haven't been out in our car since I returned Wednesday night after 10 o'clock, just as this winter snowstorm (snowmageddon) was dropping a foot of snow on our bucolic home.
Bill was out yesterday chipping away at the ice near our garage. I have to get out tomorrow to work at the hotel.
The temperatures are forecast to rise later this week, all the way up to 61 degrees on Thursday. We can only hope! I've had enough of the snow and ice and cold.
This kind of weather is unusual for us here on the coastal shore of the southern Delmarva peninsula. Usually, if we get snow it's just a dusting that goes away the next day. But ever few years we get a dumping of snow like we had this past week. I hope this is the last of the snow for the winter.
Rain is also forecast for Thursday when the temperatures are rising to 61 degrees. Wash that snow away and back to normal.
California is a few days closer to my arrival.
