One last JANUARY POST.

 COLD!

Here near an ocean of 42F water, we had three sub zero days. Still warmer than the MIDWEST.

More to come in February. Birthday for a son and a great granddaughter.

Eleven to thirteen inches of powder snow.

 I shoveled a hydrant, a four-mailbox mini cluster and my BUS STOP.  Because the snow was so light in weight, I seemed to gain strength as time went by.  A small disadvantage the snow was so fluffy large blocks of snow on my shovel were rare. It all fell apart. 

Our son in central Connecticut showed a depth of fifteen inches of snow on a table on his deck. Here in Maine the snow fell into air at six degrees Fahrenheit. Cold air holds less moisture than warmer air, so the snow crystals were dry (VERY DRY).  

A fourth day of snow.

Today's moisture advected all the way from Watertown, NY on Lake Ontario. The snow showers come and go. Before today we accumulated over eight inches of snow in the all-day Saturday and Sunday events. 

In other news, one medical procedure requires the drinking of a lot of water, day after day. Easy enough as long as I have a restroom available each half hour for the first three hours.

 Weather/ health/ and random thoughts.

Typical but longer than forecast stretch of melting temperatures. 

HEALTH:  Two active conditions and treatments. One with a late February finish but pill therapy will continue longer. The other a short term and longer term pill and injectable.

RANDOM:  Morning prayer sure helps a lot.

This NEW. YEAR

 An end of week Two weather summary.

Two days of mild middle 40's .

I was able to clean off one layer of dirt and salt. The roads have been wet so winter particles swirl and attach to the rear window and backup camera.
