The temp is hanging right at 32°, but the clouds are intermittent with some peeks of sunshine from time to time. It was frosty when we first went out this morning ... or rather, the streets had frosty patches, and cornering was an adventure.
But it's clearing now, and the forecast formerly containing hints of snow now calls only for scattered bouts of freezing rain and/or ice pellets.
Whatever.
We did the weekly shopping, had lunch at the hotel's cafe' where Younger Daughter is serving as hostess (it's slow season in the pastry kitchen), and picked up a couple of movies with which we hope to divert ourselves this afternoon.
Which movies? Left Behind and How to Train Your Dragon 2. Like I said, we hope they're diversionary; in the case of the second one, we hope it's funny. The first one was (very) light entertainment.
Yeah, I know, but there's nothing else available right now. At least, nothing else we haven't already seen.
And we've seen each of the DVDs and Blu-Ray movies we already have so many times that we can watch them with the sound turned off, and recite the dialogue from memory.

On a happy note, gas has dropped to an average of $2.66/gallon here. Makes my wallet happy. :)
URGENT CALL TO REPENTANCE: All the ends of the world shall remember and turn to the Lord. And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before Thee. For the Kingdom is the Lord’s and He rules among the nations. (Psalm 22:27-28)

I paid $1.95 when I left Detroit. It's $2.35 here. I keep thinking "I'm waaaaaiiiiting..."
Temp down in this part of the Tundra is 35. I'm still waiting for the big blizzard of 2015. Were over do. Gas here in town $1.85 Son filled his car for $22 and change.
PH & Rob - just keep rubbing it in. :)
And Rob, if we get a big blizzard? I'd LOVE it!
Gas here is like $1.85 - I remember a couple Summers ago when it was around (and sometimes over) $4.00.
The sad part is we're being fooled into thinking under $3 is a DEAL!
gfa
That's a fact, Guffaw. Last time oil was under $50/barrel, gas was $1.60 at the pump here. And we're supposed to be grateful that it's only $2.66, now.
Rev. Paul,
Quiet days are a good thing, I look forward to them at our place.
If you get a chance watch The American Sniper, great movie.
