Friday I decided to wait for rains to wash the salt off, before taking Baby Blue out on our roads again. Looks like I'm getting my wish.

Forecast for 8 days in a row of rain, with gradually increasing temperatures (starting Tuesday). ๐ŸŒง๏ธ ๐Ÿšฃโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#NEPA #Spring

Yikes. I planned my trip to the #NEPA area in 2020. One alluring thing was that #transit in both Luzerne and Lackawanna counties ran until 10pm or 1am, depending on the route.

I loved the idea of trying different pizzerias, having a beer or two, and catching a #bus back to my hotel.
Now all the routes have been severely cut, with most routes ending in the early evening, thanks to funding cuts.

This is how the US creates transit death spirals and promotes drunk driving coast to coast.

Well that's pleasant! Last night's snow has already melted off. Clean, clear drive and walkways with zero effort on my part. Thank you, sun! ๐ŸŒž

Female cardinal just landed in the burning bush outside. And now I see a pair of males in the hemlock beyond.

I'm excited. First warm day we've had in quite a while (49หšF/9.4หšC). Tomorrow we're to have more of the same. The Susquehanna River has been flowing again w/o ice since last week. I know March is just beginning Sunday, but I felt Spring in my old bones today. ๐ŸŒž

Despite dire predictions, we only got a couple inches of snow. There were still large bare patches on the driveway this afternoon, but it's covered over now. I didn't bother to clear anything.

We'll see what tomorrow brings. I'll probably just shovel off what we have by hand.

Hope all of you further East stay safe, warm, and dry!

#NEPA #PAWx #Winter #Snow

We're almost out of snow up here in NEPA after a week of warmer weather. Fortunately, another Winter storm will roll in tomorrow morning, and continue through Monday noon. Looks like NYC and Philly will get rocked considerably harder than we will, so I guess the storm is mostly skirting South of us? ~6" for us, over a few days... much more further South.

Hallo taz!

Das "Es war ein Erstflug der besonderen Art. Zum ersten Mal hat das amerikanische Militรคr einen Atomreaktor per Flugzeug transportiert. ..."

ist in so vielerlei Hinsicht falsch. U.a. deshalb, weils gewiss nicht der erste "kleine" Reaktor an Bord eines Flugzeugs war.
