I hung my laundry outside on the back deck to dry yesterday. At the end of the day I had to decide to leave it out overnight or not.<\/p>\n

It was a sunny day. Then I had the thought it might rain. I gathered all the clothes, t shirts, socks, jeans, sheets and towels.<\/p>\n

Then I went inside and thought I would check the weather for fun. Heavy rainfall warning.<\/p>\n

Today what we got was snow, heavy wet snow. Just when you thought it was ok to get your lawnmower out.<\/p>\n

I taped some plastic to the front of the gen, added a few temporary boards and started her up. I still needed power today.<\/p>\n

Of course, the snow melted. I was even able to use my new backpacking stove to make hot coffee and a hot meal. It may not be exciting to you, but it is to me.<\/p>\n
