I would assume that he's not getting a paycheck for missed days. That's what happens when we miss work due to weather at my job. Screenshot_20241108_084127_Weather.jpg
Freeze warning overnight, while not too far north, up to 3 feet of snow. Appreciate @ShadyStump sending some moisture our way. We've been getting good, soft, soaking rains periodically since yesterday afternoon. Hoping he and the rest of the central Rockies folks fare well through this blizzard. It looks to be pretty intense.
Much of New Mexico still has leaves on the deciduous trees, so it's likely there will be a lot of broken branches and trees with the combined weight of foliage and snow. Already 10s of thousands without power. Las Vegas, NM had recorded 24" as of yesterday afternoon. Annual snowfall averages 22".

The vast majority of work in the US is still paid by the hour. I'd render a guess that less than 40% of jobs pay salary, and that includes the ones that are technically listed as hourly but have a set guaranteed schedule so effectively pay salary.
I don't have one of those jobs, so no work, no money.

ohw wow.
I always wondered why everybody is always talking about hourly rates, and I figured that your monthly depends on an hourly rate, calculated to a monthly equivalent. Never thought many on a more permanent position would be paid by the hour. I would love to get paid by hour, considering the hours I make, and overtime is not compensated for. But yeah, then less Yooohoo on your end.

Got up this morning and we were actually DOWN an inch according to the picnic table. But still getting snow, up to another 4 inches through the night before sunny and warm tomorrow.

Only so many dishes and so much laundry to wash, so I'm getting a bit antsy around the house. Might have to bake some cinnamon rolls or something.

I don't talk to my picnic table, because it's always laughing at me, and the toaster is much wiser. 🤣

I'm sure we can all relate. When you get exactly what you ask for, buuuut...
chuckling in solidarity

Glad you're finally getting some moisture though.

We are having a frost warning here in San Diego county. Damn, we usually we don't get that until January. Our high today was 68, and we are freezing!!!

Yeah, so far I'm betting on a cold winter in the Continental states. We usually sit in the 70sF until January except for when the weather turns, but it's been 50s mostly since the snow last week, freezing almost every night.
 
We had 2.63" of rain last week. Have 2 ditches yet to complete plumbing in and a rainy weather pattern has settled in. State burn ban is lifted and several inches of snow forecasted for the mountains and our 1st grassy accumulation here in the lowlands.
48 hours or more of windy weather Wed into Fri.

Temp to drop 20° in 5 minutes they say, Wed when the front hits.

Today was the first day with snow here.
Had about an inch at the peek, but temps are just over freezing so..
Pretty much all is gone now. Cold nights and more wet weather. However the wind-free days continue. Quite rare this time of year.

Up to a foot of snow at the skii resorts.

I get the feeling it's going to be an epic ski year. That long storm we got a couple weeks ago left enough in the high country that many slopes opened already, about a month earlier than they usually hope for.

About 5 minutes of flurries yesterday morning, but otherwise all we got of a predicted snow was the wind and cold.
That cold is a bit unusual for here, too. We very often experience 70F/20C days around her until closer to January when it finally dips. So far, though, we've hardly seen a day too much above 50F/10C since that big snow.
It's supposed to hit 60sF/teensC this weekend, and I should take the opportunity to get my tropicals outside and sprayed thoroughly for bugs. I'm already seeing aphids popping up in a big way.

They lied. I came back to my car after work to find an inch of frozen icesnow on the windshield.

Bonsai are not sure yet what they think about this.
