It's just after 2 pm and it's dark... there's heavy cloud cover and it's raining. It had been 1° on the plus side but now seems to have dropped to 0°C, which means it could get icy out there. Luckily, I'm not going anywhere today.

Stay warm and dry. I won't have any trouble staying dry and I'll try to stay cool.

Was it Yoda who said, "Don't try, do"?

@BarBaraPrz I don't know that quote but fair enough.

Don't you love those early dark days when it starts raining or storming and then the temp drops and it could turn into an ice storm?

I hope you stay warm enough and don't actually need to leave the house until everything is calm again. Hopefully, you won't get any ice, either.

I don't need to leave the house until Thursday for my second eye appointment, but I did go out the door earlier, before the rain, to sweep away some of the snow. That was enough fresh air.

@BarBaraPrz Hopefully, whatever you get will be gone by Thursday, then. Good luck with it! I went outside earlier to check the mail and it was beautiful here with 60F/15C. So I got some fresh air, too.

I’m glad you don’t have to get out in any of that dreariness.

Thank goodness that you do not have to go anywhere outside due to the bad weather.

It's 2°C on the plus side, but it felt warmer when I put out the garbage this morning.
