Hey Nancy!

I added one more condition to the cybertoast tagline generator where only if the 'days from now' is less or equal to 365 days then it gets outputted to the list. Therefore when the 2020-02-29 cybertoast becomes 2024-02-29 on May 1st it will drop off the radar never to be seen until 2023-03-01 rolls around. I think that is a better outcome than outputting a cybertoast date that is more than a year from 'now'.

Life is good,
Maurice

... Cybertoasts of note:
2020-02-29 is 48 days from now and falls on a Saturday.
2020-11-05 is 298 days from now and falls on a Thursday.
2021-01-01 is 355 days from now and falls on a Friday.

This will also affect the 11-05 toasts... just as well we're going to do
them yearly now, too... <G>

Hey Nancy!

Yes I did. Thank you for the correction and I just checked to make sure the tagline generator will get it right as well (it is/was getting it right).

This will also affect the 11-05 toasts...

It would have given the 10 year span between.

Also the fact that I am not getting any younger and there may not be that many more decades left for me. Annual ones make more sense now that I am no longer 30 years old.

Hallo Nancy!

I was wondering when you'd get around to that way of thinking...

Raging against the storm. Speaking of storms, we got a blast of winter last week with a couple days of snow that is now mostly melted and has turned to the usual rain.

After a certain point, it's good to celebrate them all...

We'll try that on for size. On 2020-11-06 it should change to 2021-11-05 as well as drop to the bottom of the list making 2021-01-01 the top entry ... until 2021-01-02 that is.

We got snow last weekend, then mostly none during this week... and are
due for more this coming weekend... not sure if we are getting very much
of it this time, though...

Says who?

We got snow last weekend

Ours has melted and has been replaced with huge puddles of water that doesn't appear to be in a rush to go anywhere. Also the rain that has been falling almost continuous ever since hasn't helped any. On the plus side at least it's warm.

More than I can say for here... ;) The warm, that is... We've been
having rain mixed with very fine snow... not a lot of accumulation, but
temps are staying around freezing or going a bit more below or once in a
while above... Wintry weather, pretty much...

The sun came out today. It rained overnight which means there are still only two days in January without precipitation so far and there are only two more days to go.

I haven't really kept track here.... we have had a number of days with
at least a little sun... and a number of days with some sort of
precipitation, even if it's only a mist of snow or rain in the air...

The last two days of January were both soakers. The ground is completely saturated so the rain has nowhere to go and is now piling up.

Not so good.... Meanwhile, we are in the midst of a winter storm that
threatens to pile up snow and ice... They say it will continue right
to late Friday night.... and might give a foot or more of snow... I'm
staying in today and probably tomorrow as well... Groceries can wait

Hallo Nancy!

Ouch. We were supposed to get some over the last couple of days but we got, and are getting, more rain instead. I'd sooner have the rain rather than snow but it would be nice to get none of either for a change. There is a good chance for sunshine this weekend but a tad on the cool side with lows just slightly above freezing.

As it turned out, I think we were a little short of that foot or so...
but did get a significant amount... Got quite cold overnight last night (prediction was for -11C to -15C), but warmed up today to almost
freezing or even a little above.... it's dropped a little, but will be
warming up overnight and almost 40F tomorrow, they say....

There is a good chance for sunshine this weekend but a tad on
the cool side with lows just slightly above freezing.

And just south of you into the States, I've heard of flooding... I hope
you did get a bit of sunshine... We had some for a while today.... :)

A little short of a foot too much if you ask me.

I heard that too and I also heard that the north of the Island got it the worst as far as this part of the world is concerned.

I hope you did get a bit of sunshine

Today we did. No rain but perhaps some light showers the weather people are saying.

I'm just as happy not to get any... but that would be wishful thinking hereabouts... ;) Just got a few more inches the last day or so, but not
much is sticking around... :)

And now tonight and tomorrow into tomorrow night are going to be quite
cold.... but then it's to be warming up again somewhat over the
weekend...

Hallo Nancy!

Same situation here except with rain. The ground is still super saturated so even a little bit will cause molre grief than it normally would at this stage of the game.

As long as you were spared...

Not totally but nowhere near as bad as others in the general area. In some parts there have been people and their vehicles ended up being drowned after being swept away by some raging stream that has broken it's banks. One guy got swept off a bridge while he was observing the raging stream from above. Last I heard they still haven't recovered his body.

Today was sunny for the mostpart with no rain. Tomorrow and Saturday are forcast for at least some periods of rain. Hopefully we get a miss on any of that but I have my doubts.

I can understand that... Here, the ground is somewhat frozen, so when
there's a thaw of snow, or rain, there's also nowhere for the water to
go.... causing some grief....

That's not too bad, then...

That's sad... and rather scary as well... Good reasons to stay clear of
any chance of the raging streams....

are forcast for at least some periods of rain. Hopefully we get a

We've had mostly clouds with some sun coming through from time to
time... only a little bit of snow.... But it did get mighty cold on
Thursday night and Friday.... we were down to almost 0 degrees F (-17 C
or thereabouts) Friday night... It was about 5 degrees (-15C) the night before.... but then it warmed back up to about freezing for Saturday and
maybe about 4C (40F) today.... :)
