The sensor is next to the house and is on the east wall so might be influenced slightly warmer by 1 or 2 degrees particularly around 7-8 am<br/><br/>Overall Statistics (Jan 23–26)<br/>Minimum Temperature: 11.1°F (Jan 24, 7:03:20 AM) – This was likely the coldest point during the storm&#39;s onset.<br/>Maximum Temperature: 50.5°F (Jan 23, 2:00:12 PM) – Pre-storm warmth.<br/>Average Temperature: 24.3°F across ~65 readings.<br/>Median Temperature: 21.1°F.<br/>Temperature Range: 39.4°F (from min to max).<br/>Standard Deviation: 9.8°F – Indicates significant variability due to the storm&#39;s progression.<br/>Trends and Analysis<br/>The data captures the full arc of the weekend winter storm in central Virginia, which reports describe as one of the largest in years, bringing heavy snow, sleet, and freezing rain starting Saturday evening (Jan 24) and continuing through Sunday (Jan 25).819111469a5dc9fa42<br/>Pre-Storm (Jan 23 Afternoon–Evening): Temperatures started mild in the upper 40s–50s°F, typical for a January day in Virginia.124165 They dropped rapidly overnight (~2–3°F per hour) as cold air advection ahead of the storm arrived, reaching the mid-20s°F by midnight.<br/>Storm Onset and Peak Cold (Jan 24): A sharp plunge continued into early morning, hitting the dataset&#39;s low of 11.1°F around dawn – consistent with Arctic air behind the front.8f6500 Daytime saw a brief rebound to 26.2°F mid-afternoon, possibly during lighter precipitation, before cooling again to teens°F overnight. This aligns with reports of the storm transitioning to sleet and heavy ice accumulation overnight.28612f<br/>Storm Core and Recovery (Jan 25): Overnight lows dipped to 16.4°F (matching your earlier &#34;worst&#34; phase focus), with gradual warming through the day to 26.8°F by evening. The stable mid-20s°F overnight into Jan 26 suggests lingering cold but tapering precipitation.<br/>Overall, temperatures dropped ~40°F from Jan 23 highs to Jan 24 lows over ~17 hours, a hallmark of this storm&#39;s intensity.84e3e7 No major anomalies in your sensor data; readings are consistent and align with regional forecasts (e.g., lows in the teens°F, highs in the 20s°F).400e06<br/>Snow Accumulation Context<br/>Your measurement of approximately 5 inches of dry, granular snow with a 1-inch crust is spot-on for Rhoadesville&#39;s location in central VA. Reports indicate 4–6 inches commonly, with some spots up to 10–14 inches from sleet/freezing rain adding density and crust.efd59f07c3967c110a The &#34;crust&#34; likely formed from freezing rain glazing over the snow, creating hazardous icy layers – a key warning in this event.6dced7457cac Nearby areas like Richmond saw 12–16 inches, so your 5 inches suggests lighter totals locally, perhaps due to elevation or storm track variations. 2026-01-26T14:53:51Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqst7jjpv20cz64x4lvvdw8jyvuzlvv6gmuwrat5arwjvld32mzt7egzyp7vj5fw9yadvmpymsw4ajdn7zs37h7hj6w5sdrmyn2rdwthes3kqg4pfnh Attached is a graph for the temps I saw here in central VA (Rhoadesville).

Any extremely large windfall has its risks, particularly if it instantly fuels an increase of your standard of living... <br/><br/>I have no heirs, and no real &#34;generational wealth&#34;. But if I did, I would make sure it was planned. While I would need some time to plan the specifics it would go something like this:<br/><br/>Setting a monthly payout of 1/2 the avg local salery, a new car, and a median level starter home in the area of heirs choice. this is not quite enough to live on but is enough to be a safety net. <br/><br/>An accounting would need to be provided to the trustee manager for the yearly spending this should demonstrate charitible giving and responsibility. <br/><br/>Year 10 or 25yrold with at least 4 years of acceptable behavior the main payout begins. The stipend increases to avg &#34;industry pay scale&#34; tied to main jobs held or degree earned, a business plan for the rest of the payout is presented in which up to 2/3 of all startup costs are approved by the manager. If there are no plans for the use of the money then this level will remain in force. The manager would have instructions for &#34;raises&#34; based on anual reporting (things such as inflation, life changes, emergencies, bonuses for certain action, even just getting on with life and dropping out of the main program)<br/><br/>Once a level of success is reached the remaining funds are released according to the wishes of the heir. I would hope that by this time there would be a level of responsibility learned, youthful irresponsibility is in the past, etc. <br/><br/>In any case, the heirs health needs are covered, and the manager would have full authority to release funds to cover major medical or old age care (if it came to that and money available)<br/><br/>Of course, this only works for a sizable inheritance, I feel that anything smaller is not a real risk and would just setup a monthly stipend till the money ran out or the heir turns 25...

Untill something resets your life (marriage, military, moving from the area, etc) It is easy to fall into that rut. Mine was shortly after the military, I settled in Sacramento, hooked up with a gaming group and we proceded to spend the next 10 years doing the same stuff together (only stopped when I moved and even then I made a couple trips back)<br/><br/>If you want to move on, give yourself a reason and a goal. Put a new playlist on rotation (different genre or at least year). Step away from Social Media. Get a new hobby. Touch grass (literally, take up hiking or some outdoor activity) Anything to change your status quo it does not mean dumping your friends, just don&#39;t spend as much time with them, and when you do hang out, try different settings <br/><br/><br/>It is not easy, although it is not as hard as it seems.

For the most part will be among the most restrictive agenda in the nation, we really need the Supreme Court to actually rule on the second amendment soon, not just partial rulings but make it clear what the second amendment means.<br/><br/>### Anti-Gun Legislation Pre-Filed for the 2026 Virginia General Assembly Session<br/><br/>Based on recent pre-filings, the following bills have been identified as anti-gun or gun control measures, primarily imposing new restrictions, bans, taxes, or regulations on firearms, ammunition, suppressors, or related activities. These are drawn from tracking sources and official listings, focusing on bills that limit gun rights. I&#39;ve categorized them for clarity, with bill numbers, patrons (where available, though not always specified in sources), titles, and brief summaries. Note that &#34;anti-gun&#34; here refers to bills viewed as restrictive by pro-gun groups like VCDL.<br/><br/>#### Bans on Specific Firearms, Accessories, or Manufacturing<br/>- **HB40**: Manufacture, import, sale, transfer, or possession of plastic firearms and unfinished frames or receivers and unserialized firearms prohibited; penalties.

Requires those under protective orders or with domestic violence convictions to transfer firearms only to non-cohabiting adults 21+; mandates court notifications.<br/>- **HB93**: Firearm transfers to another person from a prohibited person. (Companion to SB38) Similar requirements for transfers from prohibited persons.<br/><br/>#### Permit and Reciprocity Changes<br/>- **HB24**: Concealed handgun permits; reciprocity with other states. Limits recognition of out-of-state permits; requires review and potential revocation of reciprocity agreements by December 1, 2026; non-residents (except military) can&#39;t use out-of-state permits in Virginia after July 1, 2027.<br/>- **SB115**: Concealed handgun permits; reciprocity with other states.

Not all may advance, and some have companions in the other chamber.

MTV was revolutionary, not only for music but arguably for a whole generation of cinema. A lot of music videos told stories in 3-5 minutes, with the lyrics tied to the visuals, greatly adding to the artistic expression. MTV defined a whole generation&#39;s music, not only as an auditory experience but as a visual one as well.<br/>I don&#39;t know if people got bored with the format or if it was a pure money play, but MTV did lose its way. They fell into the reality TV trap, following a format that, while kind of interesting for a season or two, quickly devolved into overproduced and scripted crap with just the barest relation to its music roots.<br/><br/>Even so, MTV and its spinoffs/copycats defined music for many. It started (and ended) careers and allowed for the rise of superstars.<br/>Video really did kill the radio star, but it also boosted the music artist. <br/><br/> 2026-01-02T14:45:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfam6ys0ezzvp966ps6thtvvgv4jznvezx5f2zyhjnadavucg0d0qzyp7vj5fw9yadvmpymsw4ajdn7zs37h7hj6w5sdrmyn2rdwthes3kq2ncxhq #newyears #photography #nostrphotography<br/><br/>A New Year&#39;s day desert fresh out of the oven<br/><br/> <br/><br/><br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/c21f4814d819a90723eb28ec027bc9ccd04eb4dac5eeed2f95650203cd242068.jpg"> 2026-01-01T22:01:23Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszpwwujwlg9uq9v3m39ym3y9g4d298ph3k2vqs867lek7t0prcy0szyp7vj5fw9yadvmpymsw4ajdn7zs37h7hj6w5sdrmyn2rdwthes3kqzsku6y In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsd720rfv0car2ehtsae38a3epvz7wmhj96ma5mnfgdu3qvzmkfa8gpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqjqp4dp'>nevent1q…p4dp</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>So basically they are abandoning the retail / consumer ai market.

It never became my go to store for stuff, by the mid 90s your right, the place (like most department stores) became dead places. Everything started to cater to an older crowd, the clothes sections got larger, the appliance and tools sections got smaller. <br/><br/>I imagine the remaining stores are more akin to discount stores, places where all the internet order returns and overstock goes on 70% off sales..... <br/><br/> 2026-01-01T13:08:29Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqspz0phpeyl8u3j4zthdspjp2v5sev056q6wmseftcw6rpy4zm55ygzyp7vj5fw9yadvmpymsw4ajdn7zs37h7hj6w5sdrmyn2rdwthes3kqau2lsq Happy New Year&#39;s to all you nostriches.

The US constitution, if followed, the federal govt has very limited powers basically to mediate disputes between the states, the protect the various states from external forces, and to ensure one state does not impose its will on the others <br/><br/>Arguably that pretty much worked untill the civil war. When a group of states decided that the federal government was too powerful and was trying to control things it should not (I am not arguing the right or wrong of the main southern cause, we all know that answer). The federal government took on the role that all power structures take, they entrenched and actively fought to maintain power. <br/><br/>That does not mean that govt is inherently bad, it is more the weakness of the human condition... Some lust for power and some are all to willing to give it up.

A good logo is one that has good recognition, a linkage to the product. I don&#39;t really care about any controversy or even being able to remember the elements that that make it up. <br/><br/>The cracker barrel thing is a case in point, they changed not only the company logo, but the company image. Just like the locations lost the comfortable image the logo became flat and corporate THAT is why people cared. <br/><br/>Designing a new logo for a new product is much simpler to do, you follow common, modern rules of compositions, the image the brand wants to convey, etc and it will be accepted. A logo redesign on the other hand, is much more involved. It has tradition, it has recognition, it has a certain design style that people grew up with. Very few radical redesigns work, at best they are ignored (and probably picked up by new generations at the expense of the old). That does not mean a few redesign is an automatic failure.<br/><br/>Coke is a good example. The current, cursive, logo started in the 40s and while has been refined over the years, elements added or taken away, it has retained that flowing style. That is not to say they have not tried, the blocky design that started with new coke in 85 has become almost as iconic, although I believe it is mostly used in the diet line. <br/><br/>Companies also try out new elements to set off special editions, Holliday&#39;s, seasons, or recognizing events/people/etc. the good ones that people remember usually still contain the base elements. Coke changes focus to larger Santa, Pepsi includes Holliday elements like trees or ornaments , etc, but the base element is still there even if you need to look for it. <br/><br/> <br/><br/> 2025-12-25T15:14:36Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszgwafjjzm24hdmw8knjkc25c5hye8auajdqc72nhn60a2zdg975gzyp7vj5fw9yadvmpymsw4ajdn7zs37h7hj6w5sdrmyn2rdwthes3kq5dcnf7 Good morning and a Merry Christmas to all <br/><br/> 2025-12-25T14:42:04Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvhavtcp7jh05j8trn5u8qmxmdhaq72dqvurd6vet84y7jkds6sfczyp7vj5fw9yadvmpymsw4ajdn7zs37h7hj6w5sdrmyn2rdwthes3kq2jvktx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswraahckf4rvgy384h26xa6xxvmwn3cwnvpkn275nqg4f9kdjh30qpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgy3g3zj'>nevent1q…g3zj</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Merry Christmas...

I think it took me about 20 min all told to do my first intro post. I like that there is a web site I can use on desktop. I think that ease points me to the next point... <br/>It seems a bit too easy. I keep expecting the &#34;corporate overlords&#34; to direct my use. I know it is an irrational thought, nostr can not be easily twisted in that direction, but there it is.... <br/><br/>Amythest: my client of choice now. Still need to get zaps worked out, and due to some issues with my plans to run my own relay, it is still not totally setup. I like the look and flow a bit better then primal, I also feel more comfortable that it is mine, my config, my feed. <br/><br/>This is not a slam on primal. They did nothing wrong and it is just the personal vibe I get, probably from all my years on various platforms.... Both clients are well done, they offer a good amount of features. 2025-12-14T16:18:34Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswuajpse3pjtwsanuren3qj06ad0vjcpedy9p42yg06ywyk26788szyp7vj5fw9yadvmpymsw4ajdn7zs37h7hj6w5sdrmyn2rdwthes3kq39gzk6 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsdrrlhdd5007rygflkuc9mvhaq97fvwxgmtj97mhyr043ullkhz4gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsajn6kz'>nevent1q…n6kz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/> <img src="https://blossom.primal.net/d72302974e0bbecb61a8ad5f197ea92bfd9a8a79d701059f345198b446527426.jpg"> 2025-12-14T14:43:02Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsdljux3n37gk8vs2atvlq383zlscapdlxar5qsmu6aqh0scxq48fczyp7vj5fw9yadvmpymsw4ajdn7zs37h7hj6w5sdrmyn2rdwthes3kq3su4xj In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstfwwjh60vcms4y6vm4hu8g99w3r802k80anvpa9dpxa6ecd04p7gpr4mhxue69uhkummnw3ezucnfw33k76twv4ezuum0vd5kzmp0ha4gkz'>nevent1q…4gkz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I&#39;ve made soap for close to 15 years.
