It hasn’t been a full week and I’m already coming down with something else. I’ve got chest congestion and I’m coughing.  I can not afford to be sick anymore so I’ve got to go to work.  Looks like if I can just make it through the day tomorrow I’ll go to the doctor on Saturday.  I just hope I can make it through the day tomorrow.

Today was a bust as far as the weather goes.   The weather people has been calling for ice and sleet for over a week.  My company closed at 10:30 this morning but I stayed until 1:30 when my wife called and told me it was getting bad at the house.  By the time I got home it had already quit and the roads were drying out.  There may be some frozen spots on the roadway where there were some puddles but that should be it.

Tomorrow is Friday, at least it better be.  Going to the doctor on Saturday and hopefully I have a photo shoot scheduled for Sunday.  I’m going to really enjoy this weekend as it should be fairly nice outside. Mid to upper 50’s forecasted.

Expecting thunderstorms tomorrow with the temperatures falling tomorrow night with sleet and ice on the way.  What weird weather we’re having.  I’ll be glad when spring is finally here and no more winter precipitation.

Picture from tonight.  Went and got a hair cut and when I came out this is what I saw.

More icy weather on the way.  But first, a round of warm weather and severe thunderstorms preceding the cold front.  Curious to see what transpires and how the city will react after the no show of our last system.  They are expecting a “wintery mix”, what ever that supposed to mean. More ice, snow or sleet?

The snow is all but gone in our area.  Some areas up north got over a foot of snow and needless to say it will be a few days before they will be able to get around.  It’s funny how the weather works around here.  Next Tuesday it will be around 70 degrees with a chance of tornadic activities.  I’m curious as to see what will happen next week.

Tomorrow evening I get to go see my son in college.  We’re going to see the gymnastics team compete and my son will be playing in the pep band.  I’m really excited to make this trip.  It’s going to be a late night but it will be worth it.

This has been my view all day because all we’re getting is rain. Not frozen rain, just cold rain.  I just heard on the news that 20 miles north of us someone built an 8 foot snowman.  I’m glad someone is getting snow because as of yet we’re not.  I’m sure our company lost a lot of money because of the decision not to open but I’ve enjoyed the day off especially since I’m not having to take time off to do it.

We’re supposed to get up to six inches of snow tomorrow between 6 am and noon.  My employer refuses to acknowledge the fact and is not closing.  Even though all schools, county and city, within a hundred mile radius has closed.  Last year we had a system come through so quick that 1700 people got trapped at work because they couldn’t get home.  You would think that our company wouldn’t just go ahead and close to keep that from happening again but I guess the all mighty dollar is more important.

I’ve got several bike rides that I’ve signed up for this year.  None of which are century rides.  Right now I don’t think I could do a half century because I’m so out of shape.   The weather here has been so crazy that I haven’t had a good weekend to get out and ride. This weekend doesn’t look good either.

Today I did absolutely nothing but sit in this recliner.  I did spend some time on the computer working on a powerpoint presentation that I have to have done in three weeks.  I think I have it about 95% done.

It’s raining here now and there is another possibility of some frozen stuff again early Monday morning.  I’ll have to go in to work regardless because I have no time left. Tomorrow I have a meeting in the afternoon so that at least will get me out of the house for an hour or so.

The above picture was taken while on a motorcycle trip to Deals Gap North Carolina.  I believe we were on our way back in this photo.  We left on a Wednesday and came back late the following Saturday night.  We had a wonderful time and I wish I could do this trip again.  I still have my motorcycle and I just may do the trip again in a year or so depending on my health.

I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.  I’m hoping the weather makes up it’s mind to stay warm more than a day or two very soon.  I’m going nuts having to stay in the house.

The S word is in the forecast again and I’m not happy about it.  I’m so over winter and I’m ready for spring time.  This weekend was absolutely beautiful.  With highs in the lower 60’s the parks were full of people enjoying the sunshine.  Today was in the high 50’s but tomorrow it will start getting cold again and then by Sunday morning it will be back in the teens. To beat all, next Tuesday they have snow back in the forecast.  Right now it’s too far away for them to make an accurate account as to how much snow we get.  As it stands now the city will shut down for just a dusting.

Another dreary, wet day in the deep south.  With the temps hovering in the low to mid forties and low thick clouds that hung around most of the day made this boy wish for spring even more today.  Rain is falling right now and is expected to stick around until early Saturday morning with a chance of light snow before ending.

I have a photo shoot scheduled for Saturday afternoon with a young single mom.  Nothing too fancy just some catalogue work.  I haven’t photographed anyone in quite some time.  Lately all I’ve been able to shoot are some landmarks and my pets.  I hope she isn’t afraid of some cool weather and we get some good shots.

The above photo is from the Botanical Gardens located here in the Birmingham area.  It’s free to enter and has sever genre of flowers and trees to sit and ponder things through.  I really enjoy going there when I have the time to spend.  The last time I was there I nearly had a hawk on top of me.  She was after a squirrel and I got in her way.
