It's at least partially on-topic - Ranger is on part of the clip.

It's 6.40 am and there are about 4-5 degrees C (about 40 F). Snow came
and went, and the streets look wet when I look out of the window, but it
doesn't look like it's raining. Rain is on the forecast tho... Some
Finnish winter this is... :/

This is one good reason not to live in a house. You don't have to shovel
snow. You just have to wait for the maintenance crew to show up and
clear the walkways of the high-rise.

Ranger is such a brave boy.

We had a lilac bush in Michigan (which is colder than Iowa) and never
bothered with any covering. It grew to be humongous. These bushes are quite
hardy.

Yes, we have lots of lilacs around here and they weather our Finnish
winters without any help from hoomins. There's one right outside the
cats' enclosure and it seems to grow by leaps and bounds.

Spraying the shovel works. After being married for 30 years to someone in a
wheelchair, I was given the trick years ago and found it worked. I was the
official shovvler for the family.

Just a couple of friendly tips for you after seeing your video: if you
spray your (dry) shovel with Pam or WD40, the snow won't stick to it and
it
will be a lighter job. Second, is that a garbage bag on your lilacs? If
so, you'll want to poke some air holes, otherwise you'll have a mould
problem by spring. That's why people cover their shrubs with burlap, so
things can breathe.

Still purring for Sammy to come home.

I'll give that shovel idea a try.

The lilacs are surrounded by a plastic mesh tube, filled with dry
leaves, then wrapped with coarse linen. The garbage bags are to keep
rain out and have some pretty big holes in the sides.

Heh, it's been 60 degrees here in SC for weeks now. And apparently back
home in west TN, too. Weird, this time it's normally 30 degrees colder.
I'm walking around in shorts and tank tops.

Any Sammy news?

Minus 4 degrees celcius here. The foal had frost on her coat when I
went up to feed the horses this morning, but oh my, were the fields
beautiful as they glistened in the frost as the sun came up.

We have about the same amount of snow on the ground as shown
in your clip.
Snow and freezing rain this a.m., turning into snow rain mix later on.

I am thinking of sprinkling some cat litter as I walk out to the bus
stop
to improve traction.

You guys probably don't want to know what the weather's like here. But
what the hell, you asked. Today it was about 65 degrees F, sunny and
very pleasant. No snow, no ice, no sweltering heat, and very little
humidity. Just a very high cost of living.


Ah, wish I can winter in the Bay area.
Some of my friends already left for Florida and the west coast to
spend their winter there/

Nope. And no new calls with reports of sightings. The folks at the
shelter now know me and I don't have to tell them that I want to look at
the new arrivals - they just take me right back.

Nashville, Tennessee had mild weather up until a couple of weeks ago, at
which point it abruptly turned colder. Today we are having mixed drizzle
and snow flurries, with a current temperature of 37 degrees Fahrenheit,
and perhaps half an inch of accumulated snow and frozen rain expected by
tomorrow morning. If Nashville is holding true to form, people are
probably going to clear out most of the milk, bread, and toilet paper
from the grocery stores (any mention of snow in the forecast makes those
three items sell as if a month-long blizzard had been predicted).
