A nice winter day, the winds died down, sunny a nice day for a walk. -22C. The snow is hard packed, I wont ski for the lack of control. Prior to retirement I worked in the trades, spending most of my time as a boilermaker, made handcrafted knives as a sideline, not always easy with undiagnosed chrons, with doctors constantly guessing what it was. But it was life with no regrets.
Sounds cool! A working man with a creative side.
Weather here today started with some rain early, now (noon) it has cleared, the sun is out and we have a brisk breeze. The temp is 72°. However, we are being warned of coming high winds arriving about midnight tonight with a drop in temp to near freezing. No moisture with this weather change. That will come near the end of the week, I understand.
Did you notice...it worked....just like you said!!

It's rained for 24hrs or more and is 2c.....the good bit is we have no snow on the ground.There's been some sleet but the ground here is too wet for it to lie.Looks like it's in for the week....I'm fed up with being indoors for 3 days,I've not been in for so long except after surgery and then I was "champing at the bit"....

I've been going for walks as we need some fresh snow on top of the icy hard pack. I fear falling, for now the skiing will wait. No big storms around here, only the cold quiet conditions. Despite the cold the sun is warm on my back. -22C typical weather for January.
Today was 28°F and clear at 8am. Weatherman says sunshine for few days before the weather is supposed to turn icy. We shall see. I have to get out today to work on my volunteer project for a short time. Then I'll be staying home most of the week! People are crazy on the roads when ice and snow hit the ground around here! 
I don't want to add to the hazards!
Everyone stay warm!

Another bright winter day, -20C with life in the slow lane. I woke up to knee pain from sleeping on my side, I won't be going anywhere, but may try to walk it off. The government fell, and so did their new tax mandate, good news for a change, and good riddance to them all.

You ought to put a pillow between your knees when sleeping on your side to prevent that.

On January 20th, we'll be making changes too, hopefully for the better!

Been hanging out with my brother. He stopped for an overnight stay on his way to San Antonio from the Ft Worth area.
Now the weatherman has adjusted the forecast from yesterday. Our temps are to be at freezing & above so we will have more rain, less ice/sleet. Fine with me! Y'all stay warm.

I really put out that knee, its only getting better now, and very slowly. I have to go downstairs regularly to feed the wood furnace which is a pain and a challenge; I hobble the stairs, so I make every effort to load the wood right, and make a mental note for anything that needs to be brought upstairs.
I do sleep with a pillow between my legs, for that reason the cat is wary about where she sleeps on the bed and prefers to sleep on my face, because there have been times I have 'used' the cat as a pillow by grabbing her thinking she was the pillow and scissoring her between my legs in my sleep. Because of that she does not sleep down by my legs.
Today I can put one foot in front of the other going up the stairs, but not yet for going down.
-20C sunny and calm, want to go skiing, but I cannot for now.

Oh my gosh bufford, that tussle with cat made laugh!!!
I'm chuckling at your hair description scottsma. I'm going to google a "beardie" so I have an image in my head! I do not have any idea what a beardie looks like.. but I'll guess it's unruly curly hair!
Nothing spectacular with the weather here... just cold, overcast at 38°F. No rain.

It’s interesting how the cat learns she should not be around your knee-level when sleeping on your bed.

The leg is working once again, no more hobbling; I can get about, and went for a walk yesterday. It was a sunny bright crisp dry winter day with an afternoon moon. I felt like a pilot without a plane since it was perfect for skiiing, but I didn't want to take chances.
Today is milder, damp and gray, but the sun and the dry cold should return they say.

minus 1c cloudless blue sky and bright sunshine....the sun is low in the sky and it's blazing through the back windows and almost blinding me so I've had to pull down the blinds for an hour or two until it moves away...

Its a gray day with passing flurries with a light north wind. That little bit of snow freshened up the trails making it tempting to go for a ski. I'll go easy and do the wheelchair loop around out on the lake, I could use a little bit of sun after the gloomy couple of days we had.
