I feel privileged that we get our mail pushed through a letter-slot in our main door.  The postie is legally obliged to put the mail through the letter box. Our posties are still wearing shorts and light-weight jackets. My postie this morning was wearing a light waterproof jacket only cos it was teeming down 

Al speling misteaks aer all mi own werk..

Rub it in, Fred, rub it in! Last night was the coldest night of the years so far -  minus 18 C ( 0 F.)  And that's nothing compared to temps in the west, where it's been -40 !

Woke to light snow, which has now stopped, and we're actually getting some weak, watery sunlight shining through the gloom.

I would not care except I have some bills due. If they don't pick up today I need to go get them out of the mailbox and deliver them after the thaw. Bill payments  are taking 8-10 days without weather issues lately to deliver. I ordered a jump drive from Woodcraft that should arrive soon. It has 13 years of digital Woodcraft magazine for $20. Might keep me occupied till the roads clear.

Hey Chuck, 

How regularly does your US Mail run in bad weather in Wyoming? We had a 4-6 inch snow, a lot here, not much for other areas. Still cold so it can’t melt after about 6 days. Mail is not running at all. I don’t ever remember this happening, and a lot worse snows other places I’ve lived. My uncle was our mailman as a kid, had an old 72 Blazer, nothing stopped him. 

lol as long as the roads are open to get the mail here in town they deliver it. Last year the interstate was closed about 80 days this year only two or three. They use these small jeep looking trucks and put on snow chains when needed.

Worked in a prison for 30 years if I aint shiny every time I comment its no big deal, I just don't wave pompoms.

@chuck123wapati Hwy Chuck, good to see you're 'baaaaack'  :) Just a quick update, I'm having all sorts of  issues with ISP's , 'pooters' and 'teknolagee' atm . ( have a look at 'Pet Peeves' thread)  Using public access pooters atm  so I won't be on as much as I used to, not for a while at least. Thats the disadvantage of living in the bush.   Haven't done much cooking lately either, other than the usual plain ol boring evening meals . 

 

All the best, 

HS

Today is eclipse day, and we're supposed to get 99% coverage of the sun. Yeah - woke up to a totally overcast sky, and can't even tell where the sun is... :rolleyes2: [grumble!]

Ah, well, guess that would qualify as a first world problem to most people!

And no, I have no plans to drive anywhere to get a better view of it. According to the weather map, that would mean either driving south of the border, or almost as far east as Quebec!

Edit: Welcome back, Chuck! Glad you are doing well!

We're expecting about 90% here in Philly.  Skies are clear.  Couldn't find eclipse glasses anywhere, so I'll use a sextant to view.  

I also put together an eclipse kit .....
