Superb, Sunny, & Semi-Snowy Sunday Sojourns!
Hello everyone here in Wealthy Affiliate!
After a nasty, cold day yesterday, the melting of the snow has begun, since the sun decided to grace us with its warming presence!
The morning began around 6:45 am when my buddy Kevin called me after finishing working a sixteen-hour shift at the railroad! I went to the computer and began the morning sojourn into the Wealthy Affiliate Community, while the temperature was still in the low 20s (Fahrenheit).
Kitty showed up a short time later after eating some food I put down for her while I was getting my morning coffee! We had gone to bed early last night and had gotten a lot of sleep, which helped me get off to a tremendous start this morning!
The morning was off to a beautiful start to the day as evidenced by these images I shot when it was then in the low 30s (F).
Around 10 am, I got my bit of Wealthy Affiliate research taken care of early too!
This is one of my "must-do" tasks in my daily routine, including on weekends, as well!
Then I decided to make some pancakes for breakfast! My mom called when I was doing this, and I talked to her for a half-hour. I ended up with about six medium-sized pancakes, which served more as a brunch than a breakfast!
I worked on the computer a little more, even getting this blog post started too!
Around 1:20 pm, I went outside and a lot of the snow was melting. It was now a whopping 55 degrees Fahrenheit! A good chunk of the white stuff will be gone soon, if this keeps up!
I started filling the trash can again from the back yard! I spent about 30 minutes being productive doing that, but soon, I'll have to go to the locksmith shop house to take care of a couple of things!
The drive over there was nice, as the next three images show!
When I arrived there, I unloaded some dirty dishes, empty water jugs, and some clean clothes into the shop house, and then I took a picture of the sun in the clear sky! (below)
I washed dishes over there, refilled water jugs, and took a long hot shower too! I also ran the back-up car for about 15 minutes, and then closed things down over there to head back to the eBay house!
I took the above image of the setting sun underneath a new cloud bank right before I left!
The drive back to the eBay house was uneventful, but you can see the clouds coming in once again!
After I took everything into the eBay house, I captured an image showing just how much more snow is already gone! It was 51 degrees (F) at this time!
The rest of this evening will be spent listening to football on the radio, making dinner (perhaps Spaghetti with ground beef), and working on the computer after this post is published!
I'll leave you all with another image of the Blog Dogs from happier times!
Shadow always seemed to make sure that his sister, Star was covered up and warm!
I HOPE THAT EVERYONE HAD ANOTHER SUPER SAFE AND SUCCESSFUL FRISATSU! THE NEW WEEK HAS STARTED FOR SOME, AND WILL START TOMORROW FOR THE REST OF US! LET'S GET OFF TO A GREAT START!

Sounds like a good day, Jeff! I enjoyed all that rare sunshine too today. There's actually a hint of the daylight looking longer. Nice that your snow has melted in the mild temps. I'm awaiting a snowstorm overnight but hopefully it's all overrated. Ah...Sundays were made for pancakes. 🥞Enjoy the rest of your evening :-)
Susan
It was, indeed, Susan! I'm glad you got some of the rare sunshine too! I think that we had been having it for a few days straight last week, as well! I'm glad our snow melted, and I'm hoping that oyur expected storm is only mild!
I had not had pancakes for quite some time, so I was glad to put those together, it was an excellent way to start the meals of the day!
I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening as well!
Have an excellent start to the new week, my friend!
Jeff
Hope you have some more balmy weather today...the storm has been blustering for a while now and we're snowed in! Haven't seen this much in years. Oh well, last year I complained I couldn't cross country ski so now no excuses! Kind of feeling like Fran at the moment up in AK.
Your pancakes inspired me...just made a tasty stack of them 👍
Oh wow, Susan! Although, it is very nice scenery!
I hope you enjoyed those pancakes! I'm ready for some more! Stay safe and warm, my friend!
Jeff🥶
Thank you, Jeff...puffy snow can be pretty once in a while. Pancakes were great...and I'm going to make more soon!
How's the terracotta warmer? Stay safe and warm too with Kitty:-)
Susan 🥶
You're very welcome, Susan!
I'll bet they were great, Susan! I'll make some more pancakes later in the week!
The warmer is doing its job, but I am looking into other ideas too!
Have a nice evening!

Your storm moved to WV, Jeff. Got word from friends there they are expecting quite a bit of snow, after a freezing rain. Not a good combination.
I remember March of 1992 very well when I had 200+ high school students and their teachers at Cedar Lakes (Ripley, WV), for leadership competitions, and we were snowed in for almost a week. Ran out of food the very day they opened the highways for the buses to get the students back to their schools.
A little chilly here today as well but we spent most of it at church and resting at home.
I especially like that picture of the setting sun with the cloud bank moving in.
You and Kitty get rested for a new week, Jeff. Already starting the 2nd half of Jan.
Archie
I remember that storm in '92 Archie...my parents were stuck on a highway for over 12 hours and then ended up sleeping at a university gym compliments of the Red Cross. Think that storm covered several states, too.
Susan
Wow, Archie! That 1992 storm must have been an ordeal!
Your Sunday afternoons sound so relaxing! Mine was pretty laid back too!
I'm glad you liked the images! I was particularly fond of the cloud bank on the sunset too, my friend!
Have a pleasant evening, and an excellent start to the new week!
Jeff
Yes, Susan, it did cover a big area in mid atlantic and then moved up to the New England states. Many highways closed to allow snow plows to work. I feel sorry for anyone stuck on the highways. I am happy your parents found shelter.
Actually my ordeal would have been quite fun, since we had cabins and a dining hall, had I not been in charge of the event and responsible for all their safety. I had a lot of help from the Cedar Lakes staff in using the tractors to plow paths from cabins to dining hall and rec hall. Judges were snowed in with us so the competitions and awards ceremony went on as scheduled.
One of those million dollar experiences I wouldn't give a nickle to do over. 🤗
Archie
It was, Jeff. Glad I was far away from it. Cots in a gym with hundreds of strangers was not a fun experience. But at least better than sleeping in a freezing car.
It certainly does, indeed, Susan!
I hope you have had an excellent start to your new week, so far!
Jeff
I know what you mean, Susan! Strangers can sometimes be intimidating, although, sometimes, they might turn out to be your best friend!
Given the alternative of a freezing car, I definitely see your point!
Jeff🥶
Glad your Sunday was good, though cool. Mine, too -- got lots done today, and will do more before I quit. Got six more products ready for the boutique; will publish them this evening. That brings me up to 81! Gettin' there...
Now I'm going to go research to try to find a few more topics for good posts. WA work is never done!
You are kicking butt, Fran! Very well done! I got a lot done too, but not on the sites, more prep work for a new week!
I'm now just on the computer and relaxing a little while listening to a football game!
Have an excellent new week!
Jeff
I'll try as well, Fran! With two of us doing it together, it likely will be an excellent new week!
Jeff
You too, Joseph! I especially will if the Chiefs hold on to win! They lead 21-7 at halftime!
Little did I know how the Chiefs would score a touchdown on their next 6 drives! What a game, my friend!
They will likely face a difficult opponent in the Buffalo Bills, but at least the game is at Arrowhead stadium, so that is a huge plus!
Jeff
That's going to be a great game with two great teams. Most likely will be decided by penalties and turnovers. The team with the less mistakes will win.

Glad to hear you are staying productive as always my friend!!
We have the possibility of a next batch of the white stuff arriving Wednesday here.. lets see.. it is certainly cold enough!!
Hopefully my day will improve when I go to lie down very soon Jeff!
😹🐫🐶🍺🥗🥩🐶🐫😹
No money work yet, but it is a holiday here, Nick!
I hope the snow skirts around you, my friend! I'm sure your day will improve when you lie down, of course!
🐫🐫🐶🐶😹🐪🍺🥩
Sorry to hear that no money work made its way to you there.. but another holiday!! You have more than I do my friend!!🤣
I lay down early last night.. but still couldn't sleep well, not sure what's going on here.. but at least I got up this morning!!
🐶🥩🥗🍺😹🐫🍺
Well, Nick! I guess we have more to either celebrate or commemorate, my friend! 😹
Sorry you couldn't sleep, must be feeling some trpidation concerning the possibility the the PSIL might return! 😳
🐫🐫🐶🐪😹🐶🥩🥩🍺🍺
Maybe... on both fronts my friend!!
Thankfully, I haven't heard any talk of the PSIL returning again quite yet.. but that could change in the blink of an eye Jeff!!
