February 2022 – Journal

Snow; Website; Rocks & Tech

Tuesday 2 February 2022

Last night’s impending ‘winter weather’ finally materialized this morning. It has been snowing vigorously since about 8 or 9, and there is quite a bit on the ground. The initial part of the storm seemed to have very tiny flakes, which made the swirls and skirls of of wind currents visible.

Mission Table; Walk at Creek; Tech

Sunday 20 February 2022

Saturday. A chilly day. We had visitors — KM and SO, and two friends with a truck — who came to pick up a mission table that we were giving away. It was nice to see them. After that we went out and did a little furniture shopping at Room and Board and Design within Reach (or, as our friends said, Design out of Reach). We tried out a number of couches and chairs. I have to say, though I had not anticipated it, the repeated sitting-down-and-gettings-up took quite a bit out of me. I was quite tired out by the end of the day. We came home and ordered pizza, and had an early evening.

Meteorology

This morning began with cumulus transitioning to stratus clouds, with steadily rising temperatures. This is the advent of the warm front heralded by yesterday’s cirrus clouds, and accompanied by precipitation as warmer air mixes with colder air: It is now snowing, quite vigorously, and that is forecast to continue for a couple of hours, without, however, any great accumulation. My current plan is to get out and take a walk in it.

Weather, chat, plans…

Thursday 17 February 2021

A lovely sunny day; blue sky with faint cirrus clouds. Cold — single digit temperatures — all day, but getting up to just above freezing tomorrow with a possibility of snow. This is in accord with my meteorology notes that suggest that cirrus can form ahead of warm fronts and storms.

Ordinary day; Audi service; river walk

Wednesday 16 February 2022

An ordinary day. I arose after a sound night’s sleep. That’s surely one positive aspect of my prostate cancer adventure — I’ve been sleeping very very well. Not that I had trouble before…

I did my usual breakfast routine: turn on the espresso machine; while it’s warming up, I heat up Katie’s oatmeal and make her tea; I put bread in to toast, go out and fetch the paper, make the espresso, and sit down with paper, espresso and toast. After that I practice piano for an hour or so.

Start of third period of regular blogging (5 month gap)

Five months have passed since I’ve made an entry. I will summarize the main things that have happened; perhaps I will return to them later.
