St. Patrick's Day 2026

 Tuesday, March 17, 2026

St. Patrick's Day. A lot of the snow is still on the ground. 

Storm Came

 Sunday, March 15, 2026

Most of the snow fell overnight and this is what we got. 

Storm's a-Coming

 Saturday, March 14, 2026

We're supposed to be getting a snow-pocolypse. Lit up around 3:45 as the sky was spitting just a little bit of snow. 

Early signs of accumulation. 

It's really supposed to start coming down around 10 pm. 

Took some more photos before heading back inside after my stogie. 

Went back inside about an hour after I lit up so as you can see it wasn't snowing heavily yet. 

We'll see how much we actually get overnight. 

Sitting Outside

 Sunday, March 8, 2026

Cigar in the yard today. Back on President's Day I sat in the yard with a cigar for the first time this year. Prior to this I had only been in the garage due to the cold and/or wind. It was a sunny day but once the yard was enveloped in shade it became a bit too cool so I migrated to the garage. Today, however, it got to 60 degrees! 

Lit up a Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur around 4:15 p.m. Daylight savings time started today so I didn't mind starting a little later than usual since we'll get an extra hour of light. 

Sat in the yard the whole time.

However I did step into the garage a few times to relight since the wind picked up a little bit. 

Sun was out for a little bit when I first lit up but it disappeared shortly after. With the temp at 60 degrees it didn't make much difference. 

Another Absolutely Beautiful Day

 Tuesday, March 4, 2026

Not much to say other than it was a beautiful day. Low 50s and lots of sun. 

The Yard Today

 Monday, March 2, 2026

Cigar today and then photographed the yard for the beginning of the month. 

We're losing a lot of snow. 

We'll probably loose more tomorrow. It's supposed to get to 51 degrees. 

Lot's of the ice has melted off the streets which are seeming so much wider with the snow disappearing. 

The sidewalks are mostly dry since most of the ice and snow has melted off. 

The ground is soft and wet so much so that if I put a chair out and sat in it I'd sink into the soil.

Planning on smoking another cigar tomorrow so I might try a chair anyway. 

Still need to get the wreath off the front door. 

Is March Coming in Like a Lamb or a Lion?

 Sunday, March 1, 2026

Beautifully sunny although rather cold today. Is March coming in like a lamb or a lion? I'll go with lamb because of the marvelous sun.
