Hi
I'm back from walking this Morning, It was chilly to say the least. The temperature this morning was 13 on the porch and 14 on the cable channel. Yesterday's forecast was for colder so I guess it could be worse. The wind was blowing so the wind chill was uncomfortable

I'm back from walking this Morning, It was chilly to say the least. The temperature this morning was 12 on the porch and 15 on the cable channel. It could be worse the wind that was blowing yesterday is much lighter. The snow yesterday left around a inch here. The traction for walking this morning was fine. The Daily Highs are forecast to be lower than the normal high until at least January 8, 2018
Tomorrow morning is predicted to be a lower temperature than today.

Hi
I'm back from walking this Morning, It was more than chilly to say the least. The temperature this morning was 5 on the porch and 7 on the cable channel. the one things that helped was that the light wind that was blowing yesterday Gone On my return to the house the Cable channel was showing 6 degrees and the Porch was showing 2.5 Degrees. The snow was unchanged from yesterday and the traction for walking this morning was fine. The Daily Highs are forecast to be lower than the normal high until at least January 8, 2018 with lower temperatures forecast for later this week
I am happy that I was wearing thermals under my walking Pants and for the upper half 4 layers, 5 if You count the Reflective safety vest

Would You believe that many of the roads here in town are still snow covered, Packed Snow actually. It has been to cold for it to melt and refreeze or turn to slush so the Footing was good today while walking when I had to cross those streets, I am unsure whether to be happy or unhappy about that. Even the side streets the town brined are the same way it having been to cold to do much.

Hi
I'm back from walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 28 on the porch and 29 on the cable news channel. When I left the house it had not started snowing. By the time I picked up my coffee it had started and the winds had picked up. The wind and snow picked up while I was out and I was happy to get back home

I went back out yesterday to the bank with my pension check and picked up 10 cents on the second outing. I need to count the money picked up last year so I can start over for the new year.

It was not a great day for walking today due to the wind blowing in my face and snow blown into my face after I picked up coffee. I managed to handle it and on the last half of my walk the wind was at my back or side.

I'm back from walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 13 on the porch and 11 on the cable news channel. We Ended up shoveling the sidewalks and driveway last night around 6PM when the snow was done falling. I picked up my coffee and the winds were blowing with a wind chill of Zero or colder. The walking was good except where the sidewalks were still snow covered. I am guessing 6 to 8 inches fell around here and much more in parts of South NJ. I was very happy to get back home this morning

Hi
I'm back from walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 2 on the porch and 5 on the cable news channel. Thus it was colder but no worse walking as there was no wind

I am running late today, Yesterday My brother had a slight flicker in hi screen on the desktop computer. Today It was not working so I dragged out a spare Video Card that I had replaced on my computer as it worked great with Windows 7 and not well with Windows 10. That card meant I had to change the power supply to get the 6 pin power for it. Then Still no Joy so I brought in the Spare unused TV that has a VGA connection and Voila success. I left the old video card out as the cooling fan on it was not running and I was sure it would die sooner or later. The New Power supply is a spare Seasonic higher efficiency unit so I left it in too.
The General Tso's Chicken that my brother brought home from the Quick Chek seems to be a new item for them. I had two of them and they were OK, Looking at the Nutrition info on the box I see that the two I ate were 93 calories. I adjusted my noon snack to accommodate them. When I got on the scale this morning No Problem

Hi
I'm back from walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 44 on the porch and 45 on the cable news channel. I was overdressed when I went out to walk. I should not have worn the Hoodie under the Rain gear which turned out to be unneeded as the rain has not arrived yet.
I did some more running around yesterday. I stopped at the Post office and mailed off a payment that used my last stamp and then I bought a book of stamps. Next stop was the barber shop and as it was Noon I ended up with some Thai food, Chicken Pad Thai which is less starchy than Chicken See Yew. The scale was not bad this morning

Hi
I'm back from walking this Morning. The temperature this morning was 51 on the porch and 58 on the cable news channel. I was under dressed when I went out to walk due to a breeze. I went a very short distance, and came back for the rain-jacket to use as a windbreaker. I should have worn it and as it turned out better gloves.
The rain started yesterday after I returned home, then continued more on than off into the night. I did hear rain around 2 O Clock and was gone by 5AM.

Hi
I'm back from walking this Morning + 1 Cent. The temperature this morning was 15 on the porch and 16 on the cable news channel. There was a bit of a wind chill and that means that despite the three layers I still felt a bit of a chill towards the end of my walk.

Hi
I'm back from walking again and no cents. The YTD money found is 14 Cents. The temperature this morning was 25 on the porch and 26 on the cable news channel, That is higher than yesterdays temps.
There is snow in the forecast and it appears that where I am the forecast is for 1 to 3 inches of a heavy snowfall. The forecast is for snow to start this afternoon, However looking out the window I see some white flakes blowing past the window.

Wish Me Luck
Bad news for me, It seems my brother has come down ill, Likely the flu. If so I may catch or have caught it as from what I gathered from the news reports You are contagious before You experience symptoms

My iPod announced this morning on the screen and in my ear "Low Battery" so it is now on charge and this time I am using iTunes with it to sync new content. If I do not want to loose my place in in the book that I am listening to I use the USB charging port on the USB hub.
