Our First Tornado Watch Of The New Year

7:45pm -- it did not even rain here ... everything was 100 miles or so north of us.

We have had our first "Watch" issued today until 8pm tonight. That means there are conditions that could lead to tornadoes but most of the storm activity forecasted seems to be 50-100 miles north of us. Looks like it is going to rain here in the next 30 minutes but I went to take some photos of the sky a while ago.

New Year Blog Thoughts & Additions

In typical Indiana weather fashion, temperatures rose to 66° yesterday. Cletus shook out all of his winter allergies and got that loose skin of his ready for a nice day outside. Window blinds were opened for the first time in weeks, then the windows came open along with the patio door so the dogs could go in and out when they wanted. The weather was that nice yesterday.

Super Bowl Sunday 2016

I will watch the Super Bowl game today until it is not close. I will not watch any pre-game nor post game. Not a chance that I will watch the halftime show. No photos on this post ... just a link from Super Bowl Sunday in 2016 ... ten years ago.

Super Bowl Sunday 2016 

It's going to be a good day here today in "the tropics" of Southern Indiana. 

The Snow Is Melting

Ava is growing in front of my eyes, getting bigger. I still think she will be on the smaller side of a female German Shepherd because of her mom. The dad was a large male but she looks like her mom in color and build. These two are becoming closer friends to each other. To the point that Walter now chases Ava around the house when he is in the mood to play.

Slowly Getting Warmer

We have finally broken the code for freezing weather this morning. Temps are heading slowly back to our normal mild winter temperatures. In ten days they tell me it will be up to 56°. With it being 32° right now a lot of this snow will start melting. It already has since that photo is from January 26th.

Thinking About Winston Today

With the icicles dripping with water, the snow is finally melting slowly. It has a long way to go because when I walked out into my side yard yesterday to clear a small pop up spout ground level for my sump pump ... I walked in snow that came up to my knee. I started thinking about Winston this morning and decided to put this together. The photos are not in any kind of order.

A Little More Snow

 

Henry definitely could be in that cartoon.
