It’s Snowy Deck & Patio Furniture Season
Christmas is over and back in its box in the attic. The jet stream is blowing hard across the Great Lakes and pummeling us with sub-zero wind chills and lake effect snow, arctic clippers and blowing down across Ohio and, this week, that newest hyperbolic wild weather phenomena–the BOMB CYCLONE (oh how the marketing brahs…

Christmas Tree & Reflection
Having trouble getting into the spirit? I’ve lined up a couple of weeks worth of fun holiday pictures I’ve scrounged and stolen from around the internet over the years, some of which I’ve shared before, some I haven’t.

Winter Cedes To Onions
Everyone else has been getting snow days–we’re at what is hopefully the bitter end to an uncharacteristic late winter cold and snow snap. Temperatures have been up and down for weeks, hitting well below 0 degrees Farenheit zero (-18 C) on multiple occasions and, until the past weekend, ascending above freezing for just two days…

Found Winter Photo: On Thin Ice?
This one caught my eye on Tumblr–can’t get past the Amish feel of the image. I wouldn’t want to be an Amish any of the time, but I especially wouldn’t want to be Amish in the winter.

Where Is That Guy?
So, it has come to this: I feel guilty for not posting, and more guilty for not making time to read your blogs. I’m drowning in notifications… I was going to write about all the things I’m not writing about–you know, because it’s been a good week with a lot going on, but I’ve been…

The Weather-Tainment Industry
It’s snowing outside–actually, it’s not–but I could have written that a day ago, or on almost any day in the young year of 2014 as we slog our way through the coldest, snowiest winter in recent memory. As of Wednesday, Feb 11, we have enjoyed just 2 days with temperatures above freezing, both of which…

Olympics Volume 2–Meryl Takes Down Downton
It was Sunday night, the sofa was soft, the down comforter warm, and the sun was shining on Downton Abbey–it’s always shining on the glacially slow BBC soap opera, you might have noticed, despite what I’ve heard about England, yet it was brighter still inside the ice arena in Sochi, Russia where the world’s finest…
