Weather - What's YOUR weather today? (Part ONE - Started Sat., March 14, 2009) (Let's keep this going.) Showing 1,101-1,150 of 2,790

[Nina]

Ouch! Sorry. Makes you hurt all over. Do you ever use Aspercream?

[Nina]

Take Care, Jim and rest your back.

[Werner]

Jim, sorry about your back trouble; hope it clears up very soon! Since I have occasional issues with my back, I can totally relate. :-(

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Jim, I hope your back will get better soon. We do tend to overdo things and our backs don't like that. :) (e.g., picking up a heavy (and fairly large) ceramic Christmas tree to put it away in its box. Ouch.)

[Jim]

Thanks. It's sitting that bothers it the most & guess what I do for a living? sigh. I'll probably go to the chiropractor today. I haven't been in 5 years or so. My back is usually pretty good, but I do need to get it tuned up occasionally.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

The only way I can sit comfortably for a long time, is in a recliner. Otherwise my back gets tired.

Jim, put a recliner in your office at work. LOL

Of course, it works with a laptop but not with a large computer. I stretch a board across the arms of the recliner and then I put my laptop on the board so that my legs aren't being affected by the weight of the laptop. Of course, at the same time, my legs are resting on the recliner leg-support, like an ottoman.

Then when I get drowsy, I go all the way back and sleep. LOL

[Nina]

Jim, Hope you are relieved soon. Our whole existence remains tired when our back hurts. You have my sympathy. I once had exploratory back surgery down my spine so I know of what I speak.

[Nina]

I hope the weather cooperates and you don't have to struggle with that.

[Jim]

Actually, sitting in a recliner hurts more than sitting up straight or standing. It's getting better. The pain has moved up my back & isn't as sharp. We took a ride tonight & it didn't bother me at all, but sitting in the chair can be iffy.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Jim, glad to hear that things are improving.

[Nina]

Good sign that the back is better.

[Nina]

Yeah, next week degrees are predicted in the fifties and perhaps one day of sixty seven but he says there'll be a few days of reckoning comeing up in Feb. and maybe snow. This is on record for warmest and driest winter in a very long time. But, I have my fingers crossed.

[Nina]

And I haven't forgotten the record lows a couple of weeks ago. Queer weather patterns but glad I don't live near the Yellowstone River with it's dreadful oil spill covering it.

[Jim]

We're in for slop tonight - rain changing to snow, although we're not supposed to get much. The worst should be south & east of us. As much as I hate the slop, we need to keep the water table up.

[Nina]

Yes, somehow we need rain and we aren't getting any, so far. Or snow. strange winter.

[Nina]

Even though the weather station says it isn't terribly cold, why does it feel that way? We are to go up the block to visit a neighbor and think we'll drive. So much for winter weather.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Nina, be sure to dress for the weather. I like to bundle up with several layers.

[Jim]

It's snowing like crazy here right now. I looked out at it & saw the hay rack was flipped completely over. I think it was Chip that did it even though I'd prefer to blame it on Indy. I don't think he has the ability to do it, though.

You might be able to see it here:

Jim, I wouldn't be able to tell an upright hay rack from an upside-down one. But thanks for the photo! Why would a horse flip it over?

[Nina]

Jim, I am not familiar with hay racks so don't know if the picture shows before or after it turns over.

[Jim]

It's upside down in the photo. I guess he flipped it to get more hay out of it. Since it was empty, that didn't work so well, but I guess it was fun to play with.

Here's a picture of it upright. The hay goes into the top & any bits that fall are caught in the tub below.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Ah, Jim, that's more like it! Thanks for showing us the upright hay rack and explaining about it. Yes, it seems to make sense that the horse was trying to get more hay out of it.

[Jim]

Our 'probably no snow to just a dusting' turned into almost 4". It's 26 now, but supposed to go up to 40 today. The ground wasn't frozen, so I guess it will melt quickly, but it will be sloppy out. Here are some pics:

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Great photos, Jim. That one with the cardinal is priceless! I love the one with the "lonely" horse. Very pretty scenes too! THANKS for showing them to us.

[Werner]

The snow moved in here too, starting last night (if not earlier --both Tazewell and Mercer counties dismissed school two hours early yesterday). It's still coming down thick and fast, but the accumulation still isn't anywhere near what it is at Jim's place (yet).

Jim, I echo Joy's thanks for the beautiful photos!

[Joy H., Group Founder]

They say we have a 30% chance of snow here. We've had a few sprinkles, but that's all so far. I don't envy you guys! But I'm sure we'll get our own sooner or later! Our present temp is 24°F. In any case, ENJOY THE WEEKEND!

[Jim]

Glad you liked them. I added a few more, including one of the horses eating out of the hay rack.

I hope you don't get hit with too much, Werner. Looks like it will be changing to rain for a lot of folks. They might not be so bad, but my family in MD looks like they'll be right on the edge while those further up in RI will get rain. Nasty mix.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Thanks for the additional pics, Jim. You have a beautiful spot there.

[Werner]

Thanks, Jim. Our snow seems to have stopped for now.

[Jim]

We never got close to 40 today, but most of the snow melted anyway. The high was only 36, but the sun was bright & the ground wasn't frozen so now we have MUD. Yuck.

[Nina]

[Nina]

In the fifties today and nice breeze/not a cold winter this week and next week more of the same excpet supposed to hit sixty three on Wednesday. We'll see. Maybe it will come your way, Jim.

[Nina]

Mud is not fun with horses and men.

[Nina]

No snow/but rain almost sleet and not a plesant day all around.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Nina, keep thinking of the song with the lyrics: "The Sun'll Come out Tomorrow"!

[Nina]

Can you believe the sun is supposed to shine tomorrow with a temp of sixty three/then cold will follow. Oh make hay while the sun shines as the saying goes.

[Nina]

Today is sixty. And sunny and the birds are flocking to the fedders earlier than usual. Now where are the robins?

[Jim]

It's about at freezing & I saw quite a few robins rummaging around during lunch.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

It's 17 degrees here at 2:00 PM. I hear that there's a blizzard coming our way.

[Nina]

Oh, Joy hope it's not too bad. I will say some prayers for you. And Poor robins. Hope they don't freeze.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Thank you, Nina. I'll post about the blizzard when and if it arrives.

[Jim]

God luck, Joy. Sounds like the coast is going to get the worst. I hope you don't get the 2' they're calling for.

Our high today was a very brief peek at 31 degrees, otherwise upper 20's. I think that's the trend for a while. Bits of snow, but not much.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

Thank you, Jim. We can only wait and see how it turns out. Here's the forecast for Glens Falls online: http://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick....

[Nina]

My granddaughter and family live in CT and she teaches at U of New Haven I am concerned about them.

[Joy H., Group Founder]

So far, as of 8:32 AM, there's no sign of snow here in Glens Falls.

[Jim]

We got about 1/2" & they cancelled school in our county. Not sure why. The roads weren't that bad. I think they expected more or maybe there was a problem getting the lots & sidewalks cleared. Marg is happy to have the day off.

[Jen]

Awe, I hope that Marg enjoys the day off!

[Joy H., Group Founder]

No snow here yet at 10:20 AM. Marg, ENJOY YOUR DAY OFF!

[Joy H., Group Founder]

The snow has started here. It's very light so far with tiny flakes. (11:11 AM)
