Good morning or good evening, wherever you may be, across the nation and across the world. It is just past 4:25 p.m. in "The City", where the current temperature of 36°, nearly coincides with today's high temperature of 38°, before we drop to the overnight low temperature tonight of 27°, after sunset @ 6:30 p.m. The current windchill temperature is 28° due to a brisk wind out of the west @ 11 mph.

Tomorrow, the NWS has forecast a Winter Weather Advisory, beginning @ 7:00 a.m. and continuing until 3:00 p.m., with mixed precipitation of one inch of snow, and possible ice accumulations of 1/10 of an inch. Plus, wind gusts up to 35 mph are also in that forecast! That Advisory is for the counties of Clinton, Ionia, Kent, and Ottawa. Slippery road conditions can be expected.

In addition to that Winter Weather Advisory, the NWS has also issued yet another Gale Warning from St. Joseph to Manistee, with 35 knot winds causing waves up to six feet. 

It was a good thing that we got our errands done earlier today, given that the weather tomorrow will be less than desirable for outdoor activities. We made a library stop for a drop-off and pick-up, refueled the car, and dropped off some additional items at the Goodwill Store™.

I took along my trusty Olympus DSLR camera and took some shots at Grand Haven State Park too. It was very windy, so Mary and Ginger took a short stroll, and I was outside the vehicle for only a very short period of time snapping pictures.

Here are some of those pix in no particular order. 

Snow still on the beach, but no ice in the choppy waters of Lake Michigan.

Ginger wanted more walk time, but it was too mucky for anything extended.

Compared to tomorrow's forecast of a Gale Warning, the lake was quite calm this afternoon.

As I noted, snow on the beach near the parking area, but no ice in the lake.

It seems like every state park has one of these trees. 

As my loyal readers may recall, I love pictures of unused playground equipment. 

Ditto!

We are nearly done with our shared ear-read, The Last Dress From Paris, and we have about 50 minutes to go. 

Right now, Mary is ear-reading her personal book and cross-stitching.

I used her cross-stitch expertise to assist in picking the colors for my newest painting and I added some paint to canvas earlier.

Most of today was taken up with brunch, errands, and a submission to the manufacturer of our air-fryer, to begin the process of a recall. Our unit is one of 2,000,000 being recalled. That recall came with and admonition. Do Not Use Your Air-Fryer. There is a strong possibility of a fire due to faulty internal electrical connectors. 

The instructions were very explicit. Cut off the cord, take three pictures of the unit, bottom, front, and back, state the serial number and the P/N number, and submit your claim to the manufacturer. Now! We learned about this recall from the CNN™ website.

Mary had plans to use the air-fryer for tonight's dinner. Oops!

Update from the lower level. There be rainbows!!

We have prisms in four windows of the manse, so yes, "There be rainbows!"

Since I have no ukulele session tonight, I think I'll take some time to read and relax until Mary coaxes Ginger and me to the boudoir, so that Mary can ear-read and cross-stitch in peace. Ciao.
