Misty, moisty. Check.
Morning. Nope.
Cloudy. Yup; purely overcast.
No old man in any type of clothing. Too unpleasant, I guess, especially for a leather outfit.
I managed to get out between spitty-weather phases (in the early afternoon). Yippee!

Got out in the sunshine for a stroll with a friend/neighbor, just moseying. Enjoyed a few stands of very hopeful daffies anticipating the spring season. Regrets are next, as lows in the upper teens are predicted for Wed.

We’re enjoying (haha) the winter rainy season, all grey and over-moist.
Better than ice, we decided!

It’s winter-time here on Boxing Day (kinda). In the shade this morning, we found thick frost on the antenna base and roof of the car.
Of course, after the sun got higher, all turned to water or evaporated, pfft! Nice day.
* That is, not pumpkin….

It took all day for the grey-overcast to yield to rain (we last saw sunshine on…FRIday!). We persevered around two “red” traffic jams, and triumphed.
And, no, pool ≠ home.

We must note our second snow event of this winter.
First, of course, was the seven or so inches we got over several days when we were in the UP last month.
This one was on some high ground in WNC, an abbreviation used nearly everywhere around here—for Western North Carolina (we’re pretty sure). Of course, temps in the high 30s meant that snow-in-the-air almost instantly became water-on-the-windshield/road/etc. Still, it counts as a snow event/sighting.
I mention this because we are not even mid-way through December, and we may get another snow event before the month is finished (probable WI trip).
We are tough…and brave and clean and reverent. And coping!

This morning there was a bit of rain and I thought that meant there’d be rain all day, but I got lucky—most of the day was bright and sunny.

Would have loved to see this sunshine today, but it was rainy all day. Such is winter here in this part of the piedmont (literally, foothills, from the Italian). The wind missed us, but it’s messy south of ATL—trees down, power outages.

Backwards in time, that is. We’ve moved back to autumn. G-bye snow!
Whatta difference a day’s worth of driving makes…away from cold air and lake effects….

Whoa! screen needs dusting….
We splurged on a fancy room with a nice breakfast (relatively speaking), and lingered in the morning, so it was about 10am when we got the car loaded and fired up.
This is what it told us. And there was a chilling wind on top of that.
The highest temp we saw was 34°F*, and the lowest gas price was $2.479. We lost the snow about 20 miles into TN. !!
* Seemed warm at the time.
