Grump Central Archive: Week of 6 January 2019

Saturday, 12 January 2019

Snow is on the way: we're expecting 1-2 inches tonight. Strangely, one year ago today the high was 63! The only constant is that the weather remains truly strange. My only hope is that the snow does not interfere with the planned installation of the heat pump compressor tomorrow...

Actually, my interest in meteorology inspired me to purchase a big, fancy weather station about five years ago, and now at last I have an opportunity to install the darned thing! Stand by for the Grump Central Weather Channel...

Today I'm supposed to have the HVAC system installed. This will be the last big-ticket item I'll be able to complete for a while, as it will tap me dry.
