Snow angels: The 1.4C sea temperature didn't stop these swimmers from enjoying themselves in Thorpe Bay, Essex
I think my Winter is done. There’s one more chance for Sunday but it’s too soon to predict. Yesterday was a complete bust. Didn’t even get the one inch. There was also a chance for tomorrow/Friday but that’s gone. So Sunday is it. Then the forecast going forward, which I realize is not set in stone because it’s so far out and they probably use past data, is free and clear of any bad weather with temps in the forties moving into March. So I would like to see Sunday develop into something decent. It can be my last hurrah so to speak. I can then look forward to some warmer temps. Forties, near 50 is nice. I wonder when and if I will ever, never care about Winter.

It is another very foggy morning and warm. Another heat record breaking day in the 80's today!
-3 when I went out this morning at 9 and just as I started out - it started snowing! Real proper snow flakes!!
Usually here on the coast it doesn’t stick but, today it kept snowing lightly for 3 hours! It was surprisingly nice because
the wind wasn’t too strong...

Is that good or bad? I put a sad reaction based on my preference. LolThe snow has gone here.
The east coast about an hour outside of Cork...
I didn't check how much we got yesterday, but my neighbor was out snowblowing, so I guess we got at least 3 inches. They are indeed still iffy about Sunday, so we'll see. It's been cold enough to keep the snow, which does look so pretty. I kind of wish it was spread out a bit more, though, haha. I don't think we had much in January and just the one big one in December. I don't count anything under 3 inches as a real storm.I think my Winter is done.

Yes inland did much better yesterday than here. We were predicted 1-3 inches. I think we got 1-3 flakes then rain.I didn't check how much we got yesterday, but my neighbor was out snowblowing, so I guess we got at least 3 inches.

We are definitely getting hit with back to back events. I’m kind of glad yesterday was a bust and now nothing for Thursday/Friday as initially expected. I’d rather have at least a few inches on Sunday and then I will feel ok about the season.
Plus I feel bad for some of my neighbors. We have six widows in the neighborhood who live alone and they are all older than me. I’m amazed at what I see them doing by themselves but it’s a struggle for some. They could use a break. So I’m trying not to be too selfish although I will say I’ve done the bulk of the shoveling so far. But I like doing it. So there’s that.
I’m pretty sure I heard that January was unseasonably warm with temps mostly in the 40’s. I think we had only a few really cold days thrown in. Definitely no snow.
Haha, yes, the break from shoveling is good. I'm spoiled by neighbor. We have a shared driveway, and he always busts out the snowblower when needed. He came over when I was moving in and told me never to worry about shoveling the driveway.Yes inland did much better yesterday than here. We were predicted 1-3 inches.

I make him a goodie basket every year because he refuses to take any money.
That’s amazing. Our snow blower is still in my daughter’s garage. Luckily our driveway is one third the size at our old house. That was a killer for old dudes like us.Haha, yes, the break from shoveling is good. I'm spoiled by neighbor. We have a shared driveway, and he always busts out the snowblower when needed.

And we have three cars...well we have one. Son has his Honda Fit and his 1994 Mercedes that he adores and doesn’t want to get rid of. It’s kind of annoying though having so much of the driveway taken up, other than there being less surface to shovel lol.I am very lucky to have such nice neighbors! LOL on the cars. My friend Chris (RIP) had a 1981 Mercedes that was literally falling apart, but he just couldn't part with it.That’s amazing. Our snow blower is still in my daughter’s garage.

I’m jealous of you guys up north. Down on the island, we’re supposed to get more snow and subfreezing temps. There’s no end in sight.
My snow is gone for Saturday. 
This will be comical. Next chance for snow is now Tuesday. I have my doctor appointment Tuesday...the appointment that was cancelled February 1 and rescheduled because we had the big storm. Haha. Will be ironic if this happens and I get cancelled again. Serves me right I suppose but I’m not going to wish the snow away, as annoying as it will be to have to reschedule again. Can’t wait to see how this plays out.
