Well, since I start most of the weather from here - (actually Sir Chicken starts most of it, but he is off investing his money in Warren Buffett, so we won't hear from him....)
They are predicting a warmer weekend - maybe high 30's, maybe more and that will, of course, move east. Only fly in ointment is that with warmer temps usually comes rip your head off wind.
Wonder if I can stand outside Millie and get any warmth from the passing trains - or just more wind?

...A very light dusting of snow about midnight overnight. Temp earlier this morning was 12....and surprise: At 9 am it was 9 degrees. Sunshine is out bright. Moon was shining very bright in high western sky right before it got daylight. But I suppose the cold stuff will move in today...and perhaps it has started according to my 9 am reading.

CW, I would go for beef stew and chili for dinner tonight. I might even provide a couple loaves of homemade bread to go with the beef stew.
It's another cold morning here in my hometown, but at least the wind is not blowing. Currently, we have 18 degrees below 0. It's supposed to warm up to about 13 here this afternoon.

Good Thursday morning, you all. What a day it's going to be: we're basically at our high for the day, at 28 degrees. Temps will be falling the rest of the day. Maybe a few flurries/very light snow showers this morning. Glad you made it in last night, Cannonball! Hope you and Shirl are doing well.
Got all the hot drinks available this morning: coffee, hot chocolate, hot cider, hot tea. And the juice is in the cooler. Oatmeal, grits, turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy, bagels and bear claws are on the warmer bar.
Meal survey still going on, until about 10 a.m. EST, so I still want to hear from more of you about what you'd like to see on the warmer bar today and tonight. Dan, Mudchicken, Larry, Brian, everybody.

Good evening everyone. Thanks for the roast, taters and vegetables.
As for Thursday, how about big pots of beef stew and beef chili with cornbread and sourdough bread instead? Given how cold most of the country is nowadays, we can use that for now.
Weather wise, we are to go back into the deep freeze for tomorrow and Friday, with it warming up Saturday to about 42 or so, and Sunday, around 49, and the beginning of the week in the low to mid 50s. Wonder if that prediction will stay on track.

thanks for supper.had to stop matts bus before it took off.he left his hat on the bus.it was quickly placed back on his head.Ryan you might want to get ibn touch with the N&W historical society,ft wayne historical rail society(765.org) or the mad river historical museum in bellevue ohio.they could help you.by the way the roundhouse is still there in bellevue.
I'm with you, Quentin: come on spring!! We're supposed to have some of the cold blast of air coming back to our area later tonight, in the morning. Yuck and double yuck!
Today's meal menu: leftover roast, taters, carrots, green beans, cabbage, and cole slaw for anyone who doesn't like boiled cabbage.
Desserts: chocolate cake, yellow cake w/caramel icing, and there's about half of Emma's white cake w/coconut icing left.
Mookie: very glad you had a chance to drop by this morning. Did you get warmed up?!?! Sure hope so!!
....12.9 earlier this morning. Bright sunshine now. Yes, another blast of the real cold stuff to pass by here tomorrow too....No more snow. Roads are dry. Come on February....and March.....and Spring.
Morning folks!
Got to 39° F this morning, a regular warm front ! Supposed to get another Artic Express tomorrow!
Hey Mookie, I know what you mean about seminars, throws me off every time!
Question: Anyone in the Coffee Shop worked at a roundhouse or locomotive servicing facility or know anyone who has? I am doing research on what the typical day in the life for a worker at the roundhouse is or was like. Thanks!

Hmmmm. Cattails in my oatmeal.....
morning
had errands to run this morning.going to get cold again next couple of days but then highs in the 40s monday???.Cw tell Mutt thanks for the cartoon.
What day is it?
I am so not sure where or who.
Seminar yesterday - was fine. But information given there won't be used for about 18 mos. Draw your own conclusions. I did and won't go back today unless my boss physically drags me there. Just not worth my time and inattention.
It was kind of like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer - it felt so good when it was over.
Need a nap. Warmer bar sounds perfect for just such an activity.
Good Wednesday morning, all! Emma, thanks for putting out the coconut cake last night! Just wish I could partake of the butter pecan ice cream (anything with nuts is off limits, these days). And butter pecan is one of my favorite flavors, too! Oh well, tough luck for me, but everyone else gets to enjoy it, anyway.
Coffee, fresh juices, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot tea are ready to go.
And on the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage (patties & links), hash browns, scrambled eggs, bagels, bear claws, and I even made some more corn fritters this morning.
Gee, sure hope Mookie gets a break from her meeting, so she can at least drop in long enough to say "Hi!" to everyone. Just doesn't seem the same around here, when she's not here.
You all have a good morning, be careful out there, and take care of yourselves!!

Thanks for the yummies CW.
Think I'll set out a few late night calories for those of us who should probably be asleep but aren't.
white layer cake with coconut topping, butter pecan ice cream with sundae bar and fruit juice, milk and hot chocolate to drink.
Hope everyone has a good day tomorrow. Stay warm.

Everything's been refreshed on the warmer bar, and containers are ready for Joe and Lance, and anyone else who would like to take one to go.
Got laundry done, and then took a nap. Then made supper here at home: leftover beef noodles and fresh boiled cabbage, fried taters and pork n beans. (Taters and pork n beans were my supper: I can't stand boiled cabbage.)
Everyone have a good evening, stay warm and take care.
Wow nice buffet you got there CW.
Put me down for some of that meat loaf and mash taters with gravy and corn fritters too!
I did go on over to Tuesday Produce. Came home with a large head of cabbage, a bag of potatoes, and carrots (both crinkle slices, and 4 whole carrots). Didn't have any problems, until I was coming back up our porch steps. Almost fell coming up the two last steps, but managed to keep my footing. Crowd was light today: only had 32 come out and brave the weather, 33 counting myself.
Sacto, today you get your wish: on the warmer bar: meat loaf w/both mashed taters and gravy, and au gratin potatoes, corn, peas, and there's plenty of corn fritters left from breakfast. If the corn fritters are gone by supper time, I'll fix some more, and/or some cornbread.
Now, I'm going to maybe do some laundry, and take a nap in a bit. Tried earlier, but couldn't go to sleep.

Good morning everyone. (Grabs big mug of hot chocolate and some corn fritters)
Can we have meatloaf with au gratin potatoes and corn for lunch and supper?
....My Winter morning report looks like this: 32.2 degrees right now....A skiff to 1/2" of snow over night, and according to what I just witnessed on radar, it seems that might be it for this go around. Overcast now with a bit of wind. So, for January, we're still doing rather well. Can handle this stuff with ease.
good morning
had some snow overnight and had to go to the store this morning.took care of the driveway and the birdfeeders too.matt got a candy bar for helping the neighboors shovel their driveway.i got a pair of wooly socks.(can I trade??).time to get a nap in.going to be a busy day today.
Stayed inside most of yesterday, venturing out only to feed the birds and take the Dal for a walk at bedtime. We ended up with an inch or two of snow late in the day. The folks just south of us, on the other hand, have to deal with three feet or so. The roof collapsed on (of all things) the DPW garage in Fulton, NY.
One of my co-workers pulled into the parking lot this morning with about 2 feet of snow on top of her SUV. Said she couldn't reach it all....
Good to hear about the knee - there have been several in my family, but all of them are hale and hearty.
Good morning! It finally stopped snowing here last night, and I figure that we must have gotten three to four inches of fresh snow out of this system that came through here yesterday. Our temp here in Sioux Falls is sitting at 7 degrees below 0, and with the wind out of the southwest we have a wind chill factor of 21 below 0.
I will have to leave the house at some point today to shovel my sidewalk and to make the trek up to my pharmacy to pick up my blood pressure medication and to mail a couple letters, otherwise I would not care to leave the relative warmth of my house.
Brian, I too am glad to hear that Joanie is doing so well following her knee surgery. I hope she continues to do well and makes a speedy recovery!
Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Well, we're at 32 degrees w/falling snow. It is accumulating, the ground is covered, and we have a snow advisory until 2 p.m. this afternoon. We had sleet before the snow started, so the streets are very slick this morning. Not too sure about me handling Produce this morning. I may turn it over to someone else today!
Coffee, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot tea are ready for you guys/gals. And there's turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, and corn fritters on the warmer bar.
You all have a good morning, be careful out on the roads this morning.
Brian, glad to hear Joanie's surgery went well! Glad she's doing all right!!
