Yesterday: The snow was mostly gone, just hanging to shady spots, and our exterior stairs, but the roads were clear and icy spots a minor concern.
Overnight Forecast: Snow followed by rain. The proportions of which were unknown - the rain might wash away the snow or just form a dangerous icy crust to the snowfall.
Today: No rain. Just snow. 3 inches or so. It's just started snowing again... again. 3 inches isn't tricky most places, but when you've got hills like Seattle's got hills it gets really damn tricky fast.
Yes, we are done with Snowpocalypse, thankyouverymuch. More accurately, we are DONE with the frigid temperatures, though they are admittedly nothing compared to what the midwest is suffering.
x-posty from Natter:
My car told me that it was 30 degrees this morning in Pasadena when I started it to go to school. It didn't get above freezing until I started down into the Valley. WTF LA? I don't even have my real winter coats. They're all still in storage in CT, and my classroom is
frigid.
I'm huddled over my space heater.
Also? Heard on NPR this morning that they're estimating a 75% loss of the citrus and avocado crop. Everyone better stock up on fruit now, 'cause it is going to get expensive and difficult to find shortly.
Vague? I have about four inches of vague outside currently and it's still snowing. Unvaguely. I would like the snowpocolypse to go 'way now.
Hugs for the snow hating folks. You can come visit. I promise no snow. Ice chips may be found in tall tropical drinks.
Go AmyLiz! What a relief!
Suzi - much job~ma
Yay for Nora's granmother
Busy here. Ugh. Came into office before I ate breakfast, now is past lunch and only have consumed black coffee. Eyeing the microwave popcorn, but that doesn't seem like a good breakfast or lunch.

I was afraid of that. Crap.
Huh. I actually bought clementines for the first time yesterday. I'm totally prescient.
I like frisson and darkling.

Talked to my dad today and their neighbor's avocado grove has serious frost damage. Their trees are younger than my parent's so we are hoping that my parent's trees will be okay. It got down to 17 degrees. Teh hell?
Cholesterol lowering drugs also lower the amount of CoQ10 iin the body. CoQ10 is necessary for a lot of things, including making energy and keeping the heart healthy and keeping LDL cholesterol from oxidizing. Someone taking statins should also be taking lots of supplemental CoQ10. Heck, I do, and I'm not even on statins.
I would rather they put him on something, than tell him to change his diet or tell him it is only borderline
sj, do you know what his BP and cholesterol levels are?

No, he took the results with him to work, because he was taking it with him to his appointment, but they were both listed as borderline high.
