Dash Cam, snow, Winter, Youtube

Taken just before Christmas on my way home from work.  So afraid of another “Snowmageddon” which left over 1,000 people stranded at work for three days, our company decided to let us go home early.  We don’t get much snow down here in the deep south but when we do it shuts down the entire city/state.

A dash cam captured my trip from work to the first traffic light.  I edited it and added music to try to make it more interesting.

Hope you enjoy.

365 Day Photo Challenge, Christmas, December, snow, Spring, Winter

Here it is the middle of December and the high today was 73 degrees.  By this time last year we already had snow on the ground that lasted several days.  So far this winter we’ve only had a couple of cold days with mostly mild temperatures.  There is a storm coming tonight with a small chance of severe weather. Mostly high winds with hopefully minimal damage.  The temperature is supposed to drop next week but be back in the 70’s again by Christmas.  Really mild winter so far.  I hope it continues.

The older I get the more I despise colder temperatures.  I’m extremely happy with temperatures between 60 and 70 degrees F.  Any colder than that I start to get cold.  I used to be able to handle temperatures in the 20’s and not even worry about wearing a jacket.  No, the jacket will come out at 60 degrees and lower.

Tomorrow, Mother Nature will tempt us with temperatures below 70 degrees in spots.  Even lower in the valley areas.  It’s still August for goodness sake.  I can remember temperatures in the 100’s way up until mid September.

I love camping in temperatures in the 40’s and 50’s though.  Just as long as I don’t have to get out of my warm sleeping bag.  During the day I can’t walk because of the amount of clothes I have on trying to stay warm.  Just be prepared, I really don’t like winter and I despise being cold.

“Life Goes On!”

Or should it read Welcome Spring!!  I can’t believe Spring has finally arrived.  It’s been long awaited.  Although, Winter may show her ugly head again before Summer officially arrives I will enjoy it while it lasts.

I went out and bought a new bicycle helmet today.  My old helmet was a Wal-Mart special.  I think I paid $10 for it.  I don’t think I would’ve gotten much protection if I had been in a bad accident but at least I had one.  I’ve read a lot of reviews on the Kali helmets and it comes highly recommended.  For $90 bucks t it had better offer some protection.  My first big ride will be tomorrow morning.  I’m planning on getting up and riding at least 20 miles in the morning then I’m going to a campout that the scouts are having.  Should be a fun filled day tomorrow.
