Storm Skylar's official snowfall total for the Front Porch is 14.9 inches. A skosh... skosh :) doncha love that word? Anyway, a skosh less than 15 inches. It snowed ALL day yesterday, but there was no accumulation at all. At least, not on the streets. Just a pretty snowfall. Where did I put my coffee? Check the microwave... Nope. Sitting on the bookcase, of all places, stone cold. It's in the microwave now... Hot coffee in 60 seconds. Gotta love a microwave. How many more times can I say microwave before I get annoyed with the word? Microwave microwave microwave. Ok that does it. Done here!
No, I'm not done. Must do the weather. It occurs to me that I may have neglected the weather yesterday.

...
By golly, I did. No weather report yesterday. No proofread. Must go fix, forthwith.
Again, BRB.
...
All right, yesterday's FPR is all fixed and edited now. I must say that yesterday my claim to move snow proved to be a predictive error. I flooded the snow blower. Not quick enuf with the choke. So, while waiting for the gas to waft it's way out of the carburetor, I went over to commence moving a ton of snow off my car. In the meantime, L came out, started the blower right up and tackled the moving of the HUGE, HEAVY snowbank that the city plow leaves at the base of everyone's driveway.
Thank you, L, for all that you do.
Where was I? Oh, the current weather conditions for today are 30°, 100% humidity, 5 mph winds and Light Snow/Fog/Mist. Close to an exact repeat of yesterday.
WIP time.
We definitely have the Light Snow thing going on out there. And this morning's 31° was not a warm 31°. Short sleeves forced OBACE into an immediate retreat from the Front Porch, and back inside to the warmth of the fireplace. Brr.
Time to prep for flight.
Work beckons.
Have a great day, Travelers.
I hope love and happiness are with you, today and always.

8:40 pm Proofread. A proofread that showed no Peacock Spider pic!!
My head ain't functioning on all cylinders lately.
This little fella goes by the name Maratus Fimbriatus... What in the world do these names mean?
Fimbriatus?... Does that sounds Latin to you? Google time.
...
OK! Frimbriatus IS Latin and it means "fringed." Perfect for this guy! Of course, you realize what this means? I'm gonna be sitting here for the next who knows how long, looking up the Peacock Spiders names. Next up, Maratus- a spider genus of the family Salticidae (jumping spiders). Well, that definition is completely unsatisfying. I'm going to bed.
Sweet dreams, Travelers.
