Morning Cup Of Coffee And Weather

The front is headed our way in Florida. Forecast is for it to stall and give us 2 to 4 days of much needed rain. I’ll be headed to the flyin at Lakeland next Sunday. Hopefully it will dry out before then.
Not much rain here either. Winter is usually pretty wet in Upstate SC. Lake Hartwell is done 7-8 feet right now.

Baby gets new shoes today!
I thank Cary & forum members for sensitizing me to potential tire failures due to age. Date code revealed that the tires on our 2012 560 are originals, manufactured Oct. 2011. (2nd owners) We did OK, but 15 yrs is stretching it too far.

And the weather! Climate?
Although we in Portland had a normal winter, with none of the extreme highs and lows of other regions, there’s trouble ahead. Southern Oregon has 8% of our thirty year average snowpack, northern 45%. Bad news for ag, ranching, and water systems, and very bad, even dire, news for the coming wildfire season.

Spring has sprung, temps in the high 70s this week and it’s time to mow, again…

OH WOW! That is definitely on borrowed time! 5-7 years is recommended.

I'm ready for spring to sprung here --- it did briefly but snapped back. I'm not sure if we actaully broke 32 last night, but I know it was close. Initial forecasts were for 29. We've got another one tonight, right at freezing...33. I'm so over it. Not the first time we've had a late spring....I remember will in about 1996 or so riding my motorcycle when it started to snow. It was May first. And in about 1999, we were watching the 500 from the garage, and there were flurries.

Stuff Happens I suppose

On a more interesting note, I just got a product announcement from etrailer....a new fan from Maxxair is available. I am not 100% sure its new to them, or a new product. But, I'm one who likes to have air moving aggressively around me, this might be something I would have considered. Sadly it is missing the rain sensor feature - so I'll pass.
 
It’s 33F up from a low of 30 last night. The temperature isn’t too bad it’s that howling wind that chills you to the bone. The 15 mph wind makes it feel like 15F.

We'll be rejoining the mid-west roller-coaster weather in less than a week now, so hoping the snowblower won't required any further this season.;)
 
Thank goodness we seem to be on the back side of this :) Now, when we get 3 inches next week you know who to blame.

Back to my caffe americano....getting ready to drop the underbelly on a 28 footer today....all becuase an 80 year old wants to have just one more great summer with a early teen family member....I think I'm going to lose my shirt in labor on a dinosaur RV...but I'm a sucker for it.
 
Cooler week for us but nothing like some of you. Just about the last of having to wear a jacket or sweatshirt for the spring unless it rains. I was surprised at having to add a layer last night in Columbia for a track meet. Usually, Columbia is hotter than the surface of the sun.
 
The forecast LOOKS scary this week for us -- at least non-camping. 80% chanced of rain ....but what the photos don't show are it is from 4-5pm. Not a washout.

I have a couple customer calls today, but after that I think I'm going to come home and give Serenity a bath -- she is filthy! Then maybe take her out tomorrow - forgot to hit send - waiting on 2 phone calls then out to the drive to give baby a bath.
