Well, we had a semi decent day today, after the 7-8 degree start of the morning, temps made it into the 30s this afternoon. (think the news said 33 for the high, outdoor thermometer here showed 37.) With the temps getting warmer this next week, we could have some flooding on the Ohio; the city has already put in a couple of flood gates, and is closely monitoring the situation. One place we go for railfanning might be off limits for awhile if the river gets up too high.
Mook, know what you mean, I've been having to do some extra "Clear My Throat" the last couple of days, no actual loss of voice though. (to a couple of others chagrin!)

Back from the Spurs game...Spurs lost to the Nuggets...but oh well...It was a fun outing.
It never warmed up here much...still 38 degrees at this time.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
We've had a beautiful Winter day here.....11 degrees this morning and now a heat wave.....28 plus degrees right now.
Beautiful sunshine {still shining}, and clear blue skies. Yes, tomorrow we too will be in the 30's.....and more like upper teens or low 20's for our lows this coming week. Expect a dry week, at least to Thrusday. Sunset for today is about 6 pm.

CNW 6000Big news of the day...24 hours from now I find out whether I get the job of Aquatics Director at the 20th Ave YMCA in Oshkosh. Excited and nervous to say the least, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
Good luck, Dan. I'll keep you covered both ways here- fingers crossed and prayers offered.

A regular heat wave here at 14 and sun. Only a little wind and the humidity is around 59 percent so it's not bad outside.
This week I have to start recertifying Lifeguards for the summer season as an instructor for the ARC. Been busy teaching CPR too...it's one of those skills that I think everyone should really have and keep current. You never know when you'll need it.
One of my clients did well the other day. I know she didn't win the pageant but Miss Wisconsin did pretty well I thought...

Good Morning Everyone.
Its 32 in Alamo City, and I've got the heat cranked up in the house...More frost covers the cars.
My wife and I are going to a Spurs basketball game this afternoon. Its supposed to be on ABC, so if you have the TV on, we'll wave...
Enjoy your Sunday!
It's warmed up quite a bit since 1 AM - now up to 7.7F. Another three tenths of a degree and we'll be as "warm" as 'Mutt and CW.
It's snowing now...
Class at noon (EMS) and back to the Antique Auction tonight.

CW - think insulation? Dust particles? Clean up?
Tree - saw my first and only tornado in OK. Also tarantulas in our yard. And a cotton gin mill. And a scorpion. And red dirt. And cotton in the field. Nebraska and snow sounding much better right now.
We are 17 and 81% humidity and Houston is 34 and 83% humdity. Western OK - 24 and 86% - see we are in the south and never moved a bit!
Out to watch BNSF earn a living this pm. They did very nicely yesterday - coal and freight both; sometimes at the same time on 4 tracks! (Trying to compete with Joe!)

Good Sunday morning, everyone. We have clear skies, and a temp of 8 degrees. Supposed to get up to the upper 20s for a high today, then in the mid to upper 30s tomorrow.
At least I know how to type: because I seem to have awakened this morning, without a voice. Tried to talk to the male cat, and could barely whisper.
Coffee, juices, and other hot beverages are all fresh and ready to go.
On the serving station this morning: fresh-from-the-oven cinnamon rolls, blueberry muffins and chocolate chip muffins, along with bacon ,sausage, eggs, biscuits & gravy.
Do I have any requests for our Sunday Dinner? If so, please let me know.
Think I'm going to go feed the dog and cats, and go back to bed. Maybe when I wake back up, I'll have a voice again. Everyone enjoy your breakfast, have a good morning, keep safe and take care.
Two years at Tinker AFB in OKC. The area was paralyzed one year between Christmas and New Years (IIRC) due to a six inch snowfall. I thought it was great sport.
Of course, what they lack in snow they make up in tornados...
Did I mention it's cold here? It's 1 AM (just got back from our PBS station and their on-air antique auction), and it's -14F...
Murray - we were north of there at Clinton-Sherman AFB. I always thought it was like a tropical paradise next to Nebraska and surrounding states.
Mookie Murray - lived in western OK for a year (so did Tree, I believe) - loved the weather there since it only snowed at most 3 inches per year and rained almost every nite during the summer. Guess I will scratch that off my list of places to retire... Blah!

Mookie: My nephew is a pilot in the USAF. He is doing C-17 familiarization training before his assignment to Charleston AFB in SC. Most of Altus, OK (where Altus AFB is at) has no power...the base is on emergency generators.
All in all pretty grim in Oklahoma.
Oh my goodness! It's wonderful; I'd like Hawaiian, please. I need something to warm me up, as it got up to a whole whopping 12 above today! BBBBRRRRRR!!!!!!!! We got some snow but not too awful much. Spring, you better be on your way; we need you! Ya'll stay warm and safe now, ya hear?! Oops, thanks for the pizza; it was delicious!
Sarah and I tackled the snow around here. I took the broom and swept off the front porch, front steps, and part of the front sidewalk, leading to the street sidewalk, and Sarah took the snow shovel and finshed that, and shoveled the other sidewalk along the north side of the house.
Here is our Saturday Night Pizza menu:
1. Cheese w/extra cheese
2. Goetta
3. Hawaiian
4. Pepperoni/mushroom
5. Supreme
6. Italian sausage calzones
7. Special (with everything on it)
Everyone enjoy your pizzas, have a good evening, keep safe and take care.
rvos1979...they think that down here one can do 80 on a rain-slicked road and still go around a curve.
Afternoon everyone....
Cannonball, I pull 53 foot dry vans, some with air ride, some are spring ride. I don't notice the trailer as much as the cab of the truck, which tends to rock more in the wind.
About 35 here in Cartersville, GA, was raining earlier, could tell by the number of cars slid into the tree line on the interstate, they think that down here one can do 80 on a rain-slicked road and still go around a curve. Waiting for the mess north of me to clear out, don't care to pull a light load in an ice storm. Yesterday it was announced that I-40 was closed from Amarillo to the Oklahoma line, due to ice. Sure there were many more, this could also make life interesting for the crews that are working on I-40 in North Carolina, as they bolt the side of the mountain together using 130-foot long bolts.
Thanks for the pizza, see everyone later.....

Morning all.
I was going to go camping last night, but Mom said I couldn’t go because of this nasty cough I have. I think I have a touch of bronchitis.
Nevertheless, we have a new addition to our family. She is a little Miniature Pincher. Her name is Lady, and she is just over 7 lbs. She is so adorable! I really like her, and so do mom and dad.
Have a good day all.

....Sounds like some of you folks are in a real icebox. Here, we have bright sunshine and cold temps....Actually about normal in temps. 16 early this morning and slowly climbing today....Won't get too warm. But light overcast and blue skies and no snow last night or today.
That ice storm area moving across somewhat south of us is causing bad situations for sure...
Daylight is increasing rather well now.....chasing our way towards Spring.
Morning, 31 and ice in Carolina at present. I don't know the projected high, but tonight is supposed to be in the lower 20s.
Ray, I bet the trip to Wyoming will be like a veritable heat wave after SD. Hope you find some willing subjects for your photography.
I spoke with Adrian on Facebook and he allowed that it is REALLY cold where he is. He hopes to be home by spring.
CW, thanks for breakfast and for being there. Take care and stay warm.

Good Morning All:
Currently 36 and sunny here in Alamo City...the overnight low was 31...there was frost on the cars.
We had 2 days of steady cold rain here...all the bad weather passed to the north of us...unfortunately Oklahoma got smacked pretty bad with snow and ice..
Now the storm is hitting from eastern Kentucky to the Carolinas up to the Tidewater.
If its snowing on you...BE CAREFUL...and if you don't absolutely have to travel...DON'T!
Off to a lunch and a train show in about a hour or so with my little nephew...Maybe with luck we'll get to see a "big train" too!
Enjoy your Saturday!
Brrrrr. New record low at the airport of -24F. High today forecast at +9F. Don't let the sunny skies fool you.
Back into hibernation.
Good morning from the frozen wastelands of South Dakota! I'm getting a little tired of winter, as I am sure everyone else is, but it is supposed to warm up to about 22 degrees F. this Wednesday afternoon. I leave for Gillette, Wyoming next Saturday morning, where the temps will be in the upper 30's for much of this week. I will get to spend a weekend with a niece of mine who lives in Sheridan, which is in Wyoming's bighorn mountains, and I am looking forward to doing a bit of outdoor photography. No telling what I will see when it comes to trains.
Paula, breakfast was real good this morning, thanks for all the effort you put into it!
Good Saturday morning, everyone. Well, I decided to sleep in this morning, and that's just what I did. I didn't wake up until 7:30. So the coffee is dripping into the carafe, and I'm just now getting started on the rest of breakfast. It'll be ready shortly. On the menu this morning:
country fried steak, country fried pork chops, fried taters, scrambled eggs, grits, red eye gravy, made from scratch buttermilk biscuits, milk gravy, and the following jellies and preserves: grape, strawberry,mixed fruit, blackberry and apple butter. There's plenty of real butter for the biscuits.
When I got up earlier, heard we have three inches of snow on the ground, and looking out the window at Sarah's Jeep, I believe that's a pretty good estimate. There have been numerous accidents this morning (enough that the police aren't going to respond to anything except injury accidents), several of the high school basketball games for this morning have been cancelled, and several churches with activities this morning have been cancelled. But the snow has just about ended in our area, and moving on out of here, so maybe things will get back to normal on the roadways here in a couple, three hours.
Everyone have a great day, keep safe and warm, and I'll see you all back in here this evening for our pizza fest.
