A little Green deficit. Electrifying. Mystifying. Stay warm.

Meade বলেছেন...

…proud to be an American
where at least I know we’re free…

High 90's this week in Vegas. Hard to believe we are on the same planet. It's a wonderful world we've been given. I feel that people should be happier about it all.

bagoh20 বলেছেন...

I feel there might be a sign above that flag that says "Work sets you free."

Meade বলেছেন...

Dave, that flag went up the day Mr. Biden “won” the election and it stayed up every day since save for election day 2024 when it was temporarily replaced, proudly, with a big red Make America Great Again flag.

Meade looks like a Tolkien wizard.

Iman বলেছেন...

It will be 78 degrees and sunny after morning low clouds here in Laguna Beach today.

Snowfall amounts, please.

The Time to Tickle a Lizard,
Is Before, or Right After, a Blizzard.
Now the place to begin
Is just under his Chin,—
And here's more Advice:
Don't Poke more than Twice
At an Intimate Place like his Gizzard.

10.5 inches with more coming.

I'm white with envy.

Dave Begley বলেছেন...

I suspect that if people in Iran flew the "Lion" flag for that period of time, they'd get beat up, thrown in jail or worse.

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

Nice looking door.

Narr বলেছেন...

Sweep it.
Sweep it good.

n.n বলেছেন...

Sweeping the snow is a man's work.

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

Meade's poncho and broom is my favorite spring blizzard look so far.

RCOCEAN II বলেছেন...

Those look like running shoes. I'd need something bigger and warmer. But that's me.

Meade বলেছেন...

Thanks, Bob. I’m almost as proud of that door as I am the flag and, most of all, the redbud trees I’ve established on this half acre of home.

Meade বলেছেন...

Poncho was gift from our beloved blogger professor. Best rain gear I’ve ever worn. Sheds melting snows with perfect ventilation—which I need because snow sweeping works up perspiration and in addition, I tend to run hot.

Aggie বলেছেন...

'...10.5 inches with more coming..."

Well, now. Why are you sweeping ?

Anthony বলেছেন...

[insert obligatory Arizona temperature here]

But then, I'm finding that, generally, when it's colder up there, it's warmer down here.

I remember when Snowfall Was Going To Be A Thing Of The Past. . . . .

rehajm বলেছেন...

Sweeper? HAAAARDDD!!! Sorry, Olympics withdrawl…

Aggie বলেছেন...

Ditton on ponchos they're terrific as bivouacs too. What you need here is a good Army woobie to go with it.

rehajm বলেছেন...

…snow after March 15th is an elderly devil…

Marcus Bressler বলেছেন...

Are those running shoes? Seems that they would get wet though and through rather quickly. But kudos to Meade for being the Snow Sweep.

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

An American flag and a dentil shelf suggesting missing teeth is the perfect MAGA symbol for those of us who may embrace the Deplorable label and lifestyle.

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

the redbud trees I’ve established on this half acre of home

I hope we'll get to see some pictures of those as spring unfolds.

Howard বলেছেন...

Meade uses a tradwife broom

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

I have a decent rain shell, but the water it sheds winds up soaking into my pant legs.
Thinking I might need a poncho like the one I saw on male model and influencer Lawrence Meade, I looked up ponchos to see what's what.
They have one for Siamese Twins. Yep. And it's not that expensive.
I may order one...just in case.

Was it upside down? And did it go right side up on November 6, 2024?

Iman বলেছেন...

“and in addition, I tend to run hot”

That’s when you got to move before you get caught.

J Severs বলেছেন...

Sweeping snow is much easier than shoveling it, but only if the snow is light and not more than 1-2 inches deep.

Lazarus বলেছেন...

Um ... that's not how you do curling ...
Keep at it though ...

mccullough বলেছেন...

Nice shoes. I started wearing Hoka when I turned 50.

Grundoon বলেছেন...

I am a former Midwesterner now living on the Gulf coast, about 70 miles from the ocean. I miss the cold blast on my face while staying comfortable with the right mix of hat, coat, gloves, and boots. I get back to the Midwest some but less and less as I age and relatives pass away.

jaydub বলেছেন...

I assume Ann lost her bet?

Rabel বলেছেন...

Since we're talking about Mr. Meade's snowgear, what's the deal with the plastic at the bottom of the leg?

We put the bread bags on the outside down here.

DINKY DAU 45 বলেছেন...

Much more comfortable for our bodies to stay warm year around, no more shovelling,freezing etc. Muscles,bones and ligaments enjoy heat not cold,no matter what the clothing, never live in a climate where it drops below 50 degrees again,did that in 30s and 40's not in late 70's ,so says my wife of 44 years also. We'll watch it on TV....Good luck if you like that

MadisonMan বলেছেন...

I shoveled after the first burst of snow last night -- mostly to get all the sleet off the sidewalk, then again at 5 AM, and at 9 AM too. My wife's been out twice. It's almost time to go out again. Meanwhile, the pork roast in the slow cooker is really making the house smell great.

Meade বলেছেন...

Aggie: I use the broom at our priceless MAGA front door.
Marcus B: I use those thin produce bags from the grocery store as liners between wool socks and running shoes. Thanks for the kudos.
Bob B: “a dentil shelf suggesting missing teeth”. Finally someone who appreciates my elite aesthetique.
Howard wears his mommies army boots.
“I may order one...just in case.”. Just in case what—you sprout a twin outta your left shoulder?!
BG: always right side up because we love our flag and the Republic for which it stands. It’s only career politicians who get on the fighting’ side of me.
Iman: hahahaha
Rabel: bread bags. Dang, southern brother, you boys are living large!
MadisonMan: and thus we call you THE Madison Man. Well done, sir.

Not an oldster. বলেছেন...

Can't afford a storm door or boots? Ladies sweep, men shovel...

Rip to the healthy mature redbud from Cohen, who originally farmed the 1/2 acre. Did you pull permits to put a garage on the property yet? Lots spared time when the man in the home isn't working...

Lol @ the performative masculinity of a kept man in Madison, WI. Put the broom down and get out of the wife's house, buddy... not as impressive as you think.

Go fill up the gas tank at least....

Bob Boyd বলেছেন...

Just in case what—you sprout a twin outta your left shoulder?!

Well, yeah that...or if I decide to adopt some twins that are...you know...a little conjoined or whatever and then I go to pick them up in the convertible and the top gets stuck down and it rains.
Look, I'm not a prepper, but some things are just common sense.

Not an oldster. বলেছেন...

(I really thought it was ann sweeping the porch, and the unprotected door, whilst the man was out shoveling. Your size, posture, and choice of dress and chores leave you open to misgendering...nttawwt. dont break the streak... get out there and get those trailside photos this blog is known for? They didn't call off classes and shut down UW, did they?)

That foto has got to be AI. It's kinda obvious.

RCOCEAN II বলেছেন...

Its nice Althouse gave a homeless man a job. Did he get a hot meal and a tip?

Aggie বলেছেন...

"The snow's been coming down all night....... 14" and still coming hard, and the wind's really howling. My wife's been at the window all morning, moaning about the weather, going on and on about it. If she keeps it up much longer, I may have to let her back in......"

Gerda Sprinchorn বলেছেন...

Nice Craftsman door.

Hell on earth I tells ya.
