What to Watch Today
- Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
- Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
- Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.

Hello Ardy !🌼
things were going so good here then we got this set-back argh! looks like it’s supposed to go through the weekend I guess I will have to hibernate for a while lol
Brrrrr. I’m with you Deborah. Just when we thought maybe spring was coming…….😔
I saw above there is more snow,,,typical March in MN.
yeah, were going to have a day of sun, but then back to snow for Thursday and Friday…and yes, it is typical, we could even get a snowstorm in April
Hi Deborah.
Our weather in PA is about the same.
We may have spring fever, but it will feel like winter again tomorrow on.
I’m going to mail you some warmth and sunshine.
