Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 5:15 a.m. in "The City", where the current temperature under cloudy skies is 31°.

The NWS has forecast snow showers after 6:00 a.m. this morning, well before the sunrise @ 8:07 a.m., and also well before sunset @ 5:47 p.m.

In addition, the NWS has added or continued three watches or advisories to their forecast. 

First, is a Winter Weather Watch, for Muskegon and Ottawa counties until 4:00 p.m. today, with additional snow accumulations of one to three inches.

Secondly, there is a Small Craft Advisory already in effect from St. Joseph to Manistee until 10:00 a.m. Friday, with predictions of wind speeds of 20 to 30 knots and possible gusts up to 35 knots, propelling waves up to eight feet in height before that Gale Watch goes into effect. 

Thirdly, there will be a Gale Watch in effect from St. Joseph to Manistee from 10:00 a.m. Friday until Friday evening, with wind speeds from 25 - 35 knots, with possible gusts up to 40 knots, which may propel waves up to 13 feet in height! At any rate, the surf will be up!

We had a good day yesterday. I got up to my office/art studio/music studio and organized some things and played my guitar for about one-half hour. While not lengthy, it felt good to lay down some tunes and sing along. I also solved some crypto quotes and crossword puzzles too.

Mary spent considerable time cross-stitching, doing laundry, and ear-reading along with listening to a podcast. That was in addition to our collective ear-reading of Tallgrass. 

Plus, Mary took my meal suggestions to heart and took over her duties as chief cook and bottle washer, as she turned my meal suggestions into reality. For our luncheon, she caramelized some onions, added those to some vegan cheese atop tortillas that she placed into our air-fryer. To say the least, the resulting quesadillas were delicious. 

Terrific!

In addition, she took another suggestion and made tofu cubes in the air-fryer and added those to garlic and olive oil spaghetti noodles for dinner. Sadly, I am now all out of suggestions.

Otherwise, last night after Jeopardy, I watched another movie on the Hallmark Channel along with some inane TV fare.

Today, I have more P/T and more reading. Mary has more stitching and more ear-reading too. Ciao.
