Default Warm day

With the luck of the weather, was able to take the 31' out for a spin... I hope the same for all this weekend. Was 69F when I rode..

I have at least 6" of snow and still falling. Prediction was for 1" to 3" today, clear tomorrow and snow again on Monday. You are getting our weather as we live in the mountains of Arizona. Enjoy the warm weather.

Right now it's 72, been like this since early morning, very heavy fog and very damp. I must have mopped up a bucket of condensation off the garage floor, pulled Sarah out and ran her awhile to rid her of any moisture build up. Up to four inches of rain due in tomorrow with continued warm temperature. Mowed the yard yesterday. Weird!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I'd rather cut grass than shovel snow.

After a few winters leaving my modern car in the driveway while the A took the garage, I got tired of getting in a freezing car, scraping ice and brushing off snow. So I rented a storage unit for the Tudor and put her away on 12/2.

Since then it's been warmer than usual and actually hit 70 today, with warmer weather predicted for tomorrow.

I'm kicking myself now!

I wouldn't fertilize anymore this year. The grass is suppose to be dormant now, fertilize and then get a bad cold snap will be harmful to the roots for next season.
