We're getting about 3-5 inches of snow in Queens (less in Manhattan).

Boston might get 2 feet; they'll get at least one foot.

Three Nor'easters in two weeks!

Ironically, I believe all this snow will aid in assuring a luxuriant spring.

Crocus. Plum tree blossoms. Flocks of geese. Extra daylight. Wuzzles emerging from their burrows.

The grackles are back, but mostly flying over, not shiny in the sun like this one.

Las Vegas had lots of grackles. Very interesting birds.

Light? Last night I didn’t leave our fire on the beach until ~3am or so.

I heard 18 on the radio, so 65. It was well above freezing at night (and has been for a while) and we had a VERY hot fire going with several logs over 100lbs a piece, maybe 200. It threw some serious heat & attracted a handful of regulars as well as a couple of Syrian university students who came for the warmth and stayed for a laugh.

I can't remember the last time I've been able to be in front of a roaring fire on the beach, if ever.

Shame, really. In the last couple weeks I’ve been at a beach fire more nights than not - almost every night.

Technically not allowed.. but we’re sneaky like ninjas.

Also, last night I did something I’ve never done before.. a friend and I picked up a ~10’ long burning log each and carried them ~1/2 a mile down the beach to add to our fire. I’ve never transported fire like that before to get it burning in another location. It was fun!

Lol and?

Exercise is a thing I do. Hell, it’s ~480 stairs down to the beach & then back up again later. I’ve done the stairs 3x in a day before. (going up to Sherpa beer back down.) I do at least my 111 push ups every day, too. Sometimes some squats/stretches, plus whatever work I’m doing that day etc. Everything is exercise - it’s good for ya, makes ya stronger.

I think when I was your age I mighta been able to handle that for a shorter distance. it would have been better had they been half the weight but one on either side, for balance.
