Quick Pics




This weekend I awoke to freshly fallen snow. It was so beautiful I had to take some pictures. This is the house, our street and some of the neighborhood. It was really cool because it was sunny out too.

Need Some Sunshine?

YES! YES! YES!!

I am in desparate need of a little sunshine. It appears that the sun is skipping our area right now. We had 15 days in a row with no recordable sunshine. None. Zip. Zilch. I know what your are probably thinking, "It's Michigan in the winter, what do you expect." I expect a handfull of sunny days with snow. Bright-light days. Days where there's snow and sun and it hurts your eyes it's so bright. We haven't had those.

We have also recorded 50 days in a row of some recordable precipitation. Yes folks 50 days. That's SMASHED the previous record of 35. Precipitation can be snow, sleet, rain, freezing rain...and we've had all of that in the last 50 days. And there doesn't seem to be an end to it.

And it's been unusually warm the last week or so. The weather people said it could reach 50 degrees. 50 degrees in Michigan in January. Who would have thought? Maybe there is something to this global warming thing.

Gloom and rain lately. I'm contemplating sun therapy. I saw it on the new last night. Supposively 40 minutes with this special lamp and all your winter blues should be cured...ha, ha, ha.

So all you people living in the sunny regions...please send some my way. I need it. Really.
