Yes, it’s 69 and very windy here now. Lots of moisture in the air, but just a few sprinkles.

70 here...no sprinkles. I guess the cold front rolls in later today. They’re saying blowing sand...I hope not. Ugh!

It was supposed to be rain but instead we awoke to 16 inches of snow still snowing. Ended up with nearly 2 feet of the stuff, biggest snow storm of the season.

This was at 16 inches.

I washed my pickup on Wednesday and there was just enough drizzle yesterday to mess it up again.

To: left that other site
I've tried to make Brahms, Chopin, Rachmaninov and Leroy Anderson intelligible to modern audiences and to our troops. I may have given some of our troops a beautiful moment in their overseas lives, but to be honest, most people don't appreciate what these men did. Unless you've had the education or have taken the time to go into their work on your own, there is probably no purpose to further projects based on classical composers.

Prior to those projects, I did the various Brill Building composers, the British pop composers of the late Sixties, and songwriters such as Jimmy Webb, P. F. Sloan and Phil Ochs.

Until I get a real brainstorm for a serious composer, I'm going to fall back on the "Rockumentary" project I started in college. It's more mainstream, and I think it will appeal to a larger segment of our audience.

In the meantime, here is that Barber piece for baritone and string quartet from 1935, based on the Matthew Arnold poem.

Samuel Barber: "Dover Beach" w/Barber on vocals from a 1935 RCA recording

Samuel Barber: "Dover Beach" w/Fischer-Dieskau and the Julliard Quartet

This is a two-handkerchief piece. Both Arnold and Barber anticipated the horrors of the 20th Century's wars.

It's heavy wet snow, too. Thank goodness for snow blowing macines or it would take days to shovel a car out.

Still, it's not even half of what we got in '78 wnen all the doors were snowed tight. We had to roll up the garage doorand shovel from there. The car was somewhere in the driveway. Took hours just to find it. Now we measure every snow fall by that.

Yikes!!! These are times when I’m glad I live in Texas! LOL!

Of course, there was that guy with tumbleweeds covering his house, but not as hard to remove as snow. :)

Yes, it would. Actually, it gets too hot for me in the summer. It’s actually quite depressing when there are days and days of over 100 degrees.

Oh, well. LOL!

Man, that sky looks really gray....want us to bottle some sunshine and send it your way, Lady J?

(Although not today, we have cloudy skies and chances of snow in the surrounding mountains through the weekend.)

Been up and down the whole east coast of TX, met a slew of friendly people, rode my motorcycle on Padre, and seen it snow in Dallas. Awesome state you’ve got there.

Even 80º is too hot for me. Might use a lot of air conditioning in summer but I make up for it by keeping in the mid 60ºs in winter.

It was heavily overcast and snowing when I took the photo, suprised the snow didn’t show up. We have had a snowy dark winter season. Over 50” of the white stuff compared to 9” last winter.
