⛈ The weather thread. The south braces for the weekend cold (Moved here for a few days since some of y'all will feel this.)

IF the forecast holds true we'll be returning to normal pretty soon. It likely will because it looks normal after these next two days. So, I'll see a few days a week in the 70's, the rest in the 60's, with the low's in the 40's. While it's been cold I've only had to put a jacket on once: raining that day.

Yeah. We have no freezing weather forcasted for next 2 weeks. Yea!

Man, busted my ass yesterday getting spring "outdoor" work done and I'm feeling it this morning. And wouldn't ya know...just glanced at the weather forecast for today.

No rain forecasted.

It's not all bad. Feeling it includes, "that looks good."

Side note: Looked at pre-em for the turf this morning and it's dropped about $10 bucks since my last purchase. If it's cheaper this winter the fertilizers should be this spring and summer.

I just caught a bit of a report from NYC talking about the storm hitting right now.

I watched the 'shit talk' start yesterday when Mandami announced they needed people to shovel the snow. The jokes based on it requiring an ID to shovel snow, but not to vote.

There's a bigger joke here. It's three dollars an hour over minimum wage (as of 1/1 it was raised to $17 an hour.) So, $20 an hour to shovel snow that the city didn't clean up from the last storm...in a city where travel has been banned unless its essential.

Desperate times, desperate measures. But damn. I'd have to be pretty damned desolute to spend my morning shoveling snow in NYC at $20 an hour. (I do wonder if they'll allow people to use their own gas-powered snow blowers.)
