Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 9:45 p.m. in "The City."

We had about four inches of snow between early this morning and early this afternoon. That's just enough to make the deck more difficult for me to traverse. So, I didn't. Instead, I sent the fur-children out on their tether solo and waited for them to return. 

We have a current temperature of 24° that feels like 15° with winds out of the north @ nine mph. That wind is part of the Small Craft Advisory that is in effect until 7:00 a.m. Thursday. Wind speeds of 15 to 25 knots, with gusts up to 30 knots, will cause waves from three to five feet in height from St. Joseph to Manistee. The NWS is reporting a current barometric pressure of 30.16" and rising, while my own DTWS is displaying 29.56" and falling.

The sun will rise tomorrow morning @ 8:05 a.m. and set later @ 5:49 p.m.

Late last night @ 11:05 p.m., I watched MMRR EMD GP-38-2 locomotives 2170 and 2019 pass by on the RSTL heading south, towing 10 CGCs. six DBTCs, and eight CHCs, all loaded. I heard the train pass by heading north @ 5:00 a.m., but I can only tell you that it too was fully loaded and was on the long side of things. 

Today, we had to wait until about 8:30  p.m. before our snow-removal service came by. Apparently, they were very busy today. No surprise there.

We did find time to give our fur-children a pawdicure this afternoon. Both Ginger and STWD are becoming more tolerant of our efforts.

Lunch was hot-dog wraps with canned green beans, one of my personal favorites. The tofu finally thawed out so that Mary could make her special spaghetti Bolognese for dinner. It was very tasty. 

We watched yet another episode of Mr. Robot before dinner and it was very intense. We are enjoying the program more with each episode. During dinner, we watched  Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy. We followed that up with more NCIS. Torres and Bishop are smoldering, to say the least.

Tomorrow, we have nothing on our agenda. More reading, more music, more cross-stitching, more crafting, and that's about it. Ciao.
