That second picture is just wrong.
Surprised the trees still look so good...

It does jar the mind. I saw another picture of a fellow skiing down the beach to the water.

yeah, it made me think of that AI generated picture of some folks in the '40s German army...

Skiing to the beach can be common though, "up here", not down there. I've waded through hip-deep snow to get to the beach on the south shore here early 2018. Though I admit snow on the beach was something I was not used to either.
Being on the beach *while it snows* is fantastic though, no one there, eerily quiet.

Palms can be fairly cold hardy. These might be Mexican fan palms.

Our palms handle freezes. Any time it drops below 15 they don’t look so good in the spring. And a few died sure out 2018 cold spell.

-25 outside yesterday went to the shed and had a fire. Stove really ate the wood up but got the shed up to 65.

It looks like a fun day here winds to 80K and snow.
They don't say how much but white-out conditions
and blizzard conditions are being warned. Think I just
hunker down sit by the fire and read a book
Maybe I should have stayed in bed

The last wind gust we just had knocked out the cable for about 10 minutes but not the power, looks like we could be in for a long night.

The three lanterns a charged up along with the extra batteries. The three rechargeable flashlights, two headlamps and the worklight are charged up too.

We don't burn firewood with the high wind gust even though we've never had a problem, I'll burn down what's left and then use the furnace until the high winds are out of this area. The last wind gust map I saw had us getting 58 mph wind gust.

The last of the coals are burning down, that will be the last of any wood heat for today/night. I did get my third session in on the treadmill, we haven't lost power yet so I thought it would be a good idea I finish up most of what I had planned, four sessions had been my plan.

This showed up in our long range forecast, we could get a storm later this week with snow & ice. I'm not sure who else could be involved but watch your forecast.

 

[thewoodlands]

It looks like we're in for some possible power outages.

 

[begreen]

I hate ice storms. They are really damaging and dangerous. Stay off the roads folks and don't park the car under any trees.

 

[thewoodlands]

I guess Saturday & Sunday is another storm, possibly worse. I haven't seen any tracks the storm will take but they should be putting something up soon.

This has been an old fashion winter for us, cold azz weather and then snow, we received another 7 to 8 last night. The wet heavy stuff that caused some power outages but we didn't get hit with any.
