Weather in Pa is decent, for the most part. We are in a valley so there are not many hurricanes or tornadoes threatening the area and I am seriously glad for that!

However, winter sucks here. We don't get too much snow, we get that lovely 'wintry mix' and that basically consists of wet snow, freezing rain, then turning to rain - you know, slop. That is exactly what we have going on right now. We have more of a chance of being flooded out than snowed in today.

So, I was awake at 5am and of course immediately went down into our basement to make sure we didn't get water down there. Since we've remodeled the basement we have gotten water once and I hope that was the last time. Being down there reminded me we need to do maintenance on a few things, the furnace and the water softener tank. I need to be on the lookout for better water softeners than we have now, our water is a bit harsh. Hate it!

It's after 7am now, just waiting for the sun to make an appearance so I can better access the roads around here. I am guessing CJ will need to leave for work a bit early today.
