It’s January 26, 2026, the day after a record breaking snow storm hit the majority of our country in some manner. Today is also my birthday and Snowmageddon continues. Despite the snow no longer falling, numerous backroads, parking lots and neighborhoods everywhere are not even plowed yet, as of 8:50 AM.

Here in Dayton, Ohio and the surrounding area, there are cars, trucks and 18 wheel haulers stranded and abandoned. The current temperature right now is 5 degrees Fahrenheit. I don’t want to even know the wind chill temperature. 🥶

The previous Dayton, Ohio record of 12.2” of single-day snow fell back on January 26, 1978. What is it about my birthday and record breaking snow amounts? Bizarre!

Factor in that there is and will be monster sized snowbanks at every twist and turn until at least the beginning of March and Spring weather cannot arrive soon enough! The extended forecast doesn’t bode well either. Tomorrow’s temperature is predicted to be -10 degrees Fahrenheit!! That’s MINUS 10!! With a wind chill of -23F!!

I don’t recall experiencing this type of freezing weather in ALL of my life and I’ve also lived in historically harsh winter states such as Connecticut and Pennsylvania. The extreme freezing temperatures are forecasted to last past the first week of February. Bollocks to it all!

I’m still grateful and feel blessed to have a warm home, health, family, friends, food, Metal and of course my dog Ozzy. I’m not complaining, just reporting the situation surrounding another birthday in my life’s journey. Thank you for visiting and reading my story; it’s appreciated! Stay safe, warm and Metal be thy name. – Stone
