.......We're waiting for the 2nd weather shoe to drop.....From the appearance outside now it's difficult to imagine what's coming.
Sis in law over in western Pennsylvania indicated they got hit pretty bad with an ice storm...Said the massive evergreens on the property are bent down and some big limbs forced to touch the ground. {Somerset, Co., Penn.}. 34.7 degrees here now and a pretty bright day with sunshine at times. Dry.

Looks like another sloppy drive home after PE on Sunday. If it looks too bad, I'll just get a room down there.
Interesting how this stuff is running in seven day cycles.....

Got the next round of our FRIDAY FISH FRY out on the warmer bar: cod, perch, salmon patties, fries, corn on the cob, hushpuppies, and the cole slaw is in the cooler, with the cobblers, pies and chocolate cake.
Hope you all have a great evening, and take care!

(Grabs plate of salmon patties with fries and cole slaw )
By the way, due to the very cold weather all over the country, how about making big pots of beef stew with cornbread, chili and French onion soup for tomorrow instead of the Pizza Fest?

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
good morning
grandpaw here is your ham.we have eggs and pancakes to go with it. the snow hasn't arrived yet but its lurking in indiana now.juice and coffee are ready to go.we are going to stay in and watch it snow.
Good Saturday morning. We have a current temp of 33 (that's listed on the tv screen, at the local tv station), and our outdoor thermometer is showing 35.6 degrees. Streets are slushy, and I'm not sure if it's snow or sleet I see on the vehicles. I haven't ventured outside yet, this morning! Do know, via tv reports, that just across the river, in southern Indiana, they have gotten snow. They're saying that the closer you get towards Indianapolis, there's more snow on the ground.
Joe, thanks for cooking the ham, eggs and pancakes. Got my mug of coffee, right here with me, and a couple of pancakes and some eggs sound really good this morning!
I'm getting ready to start preparing the chili and the beef stew. After both of them are ready, and just about ready to dish out, I'll start baking the cornbread.
You all have a good morning, stay in if possible, and stay warm and dry.

Good late morning everyone. And yes, I can use a big bowl of hot beef stew--it's cool but with cloudy conditions, the higher humidity makes for bone-chilling cold. In short, staying warm could be a bit of an issue....

well we have had about 2 inches of snow so far.the heaviest snow is near the I-70 corridor.tonight more snow with blowing and drifting.we'll see what it looks like in the morning.the pizzas for tonight are ready to go and we will have popcorn and hot chocolate later.
Looks like Joe took care of fixing the pizzas for tonight, and the chili and beef stew and cornbread are ready, in Crock Pots, keeping warm. (Well, the cornbread's on the warmer bar, with the pizzas.)
All we had was a little bit of snow, mostly freezing rain and sleet. On the north sidewalk, running along the side of the house, we had about 1/2 inch of ice/sleet. With it still raining, and the temps going down to somewhere between 25 and 28 overnight, imagine it's going to be ice covered again tomorrow morning. Haven't heard the local news and weather report yet this evening, so will go in a few minutes and see what's up for us overnight.
Joe the popcorn and hot chocolate sound good for later on; but, with me not being able to have popcorn anymore, guess I'll take a cup of hot chocolate later on.
You all stay warm and dry, and talk with you later.
Happy Sunday everyone. Well, we actually got some rain in Carolina. I'm not sure how much, but it was heavy at times. It came out of Georgia so hopefully, it helped with their reservoirs some. Currently, 45 deg and clear. I think I will hold it to a sausage dog this morning. Yall stay safe and warm
Good Sunday morning, to all. Very windy (winds gusting 30 - 40 mph), and getting light snow. Do see some local vehicles that didn't move overnight, that have a light layer of snow on them. Temps are at 32, 33 at 6:40, and will be dropping this afternoon, into the 20s.
Coffee is ready, as well as hot chocolate, hot apple cider, and hot water for tea.
On the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage links & patties, scrambled eggs, fried potatoes, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, bagels, bear claws and blueberry muffins.
Make sure you're bundled up real good this morning, going out to Church or work, wherever you will be going this morning.
Man! That hot apple cider sure smells good! It's just the ticket for a cold morning like this. It's 3 degrees above 0 here in Sioux Falls, and I am not exactly thrilled with the idea of walking to work this morning in the cold.........actually the walking isn't all that bad. The bad part is just waiting for the manager at Wendy's to show up for work, and Miss Flakey is habitually at least 15 to 20 minutes late in getting there. I will probably freeze my feet waiting for her.
It's supposed to warm up to about 27 degrees here later this afternoon.
I hope the rest of you folks out there have a good day, and stay warm!

...Good Morning all: Difficult to determine how much snow we actually did get....and then late last night it put down freezing rain on top of what we had then. Temps were around 30 then. Now: 25.
Can't really tell how much snow we received overnight...Dark, windy and blowing it around but it doesn't appear to be snowing real hard now. Believe the core of it all is way east of us now, but the wrap around is still here and the wind. If the forecast is still the same, the snow should diminish as the day goes on and the Low system moves farther east. But we are to have heavy wind gusts today as well, which certainly won't help the conditions of county roads and folk's driveways. Seems the snow always whips around our home here and swirls it deeper on the 70' drive way and in front of the garage door.
We had an automobile hit a pole {on a near by county road}, last evening and sheared it all the way off and left our area...{Perhaps a mile or so square}, without power. Repair crew restored our power in 1 hr. and 20 min. 3 cheers for their work...Good job.
Don't think we'll try to get out of the addition to go to Church this morning....Just a little iffy for that. Believe this is a day to stay in and let the storm work itself out and away.
As long as we have power, we'll be fine....{electric home}. This has been a serious Winter type blast.
One small bright note: Noted the sun set 1 min. later last evening starting that process on the way in the season.
Hope everyone {that has this Winter stuff}, can maintain integrity and stay warm at home....
plenty of snow to go around here in nw ohio.we have a snow/ice/ then snow mix of about 5 inches so far.plus all the blowing and drifting too.we also have an idiot plow driver who likes to plow in the driveways.matt and I came in and mamma has chocolate chip cookies for us.no church or sunday school today.also the a very bright red cardinal looking for us to fill the bird feeders.i'll try and get a picture of him.

Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Don't worry, Cannonball, we've hardly stepped out of the house today. Mutt and I did get the recycling out, while Sarah walked the dog in the back yard. Otherwise, we've just been taking it easy, reading, watching tv, and on the computer.
Anyone remember me telling you about the accident just up the corner from us last Saturday night? Well, last night, we had another one, at the south corner from us. Had one fire apparatus, two ambulances and the police car go south, responding to it, while another apparatus came from the south to the scene. Hope there's no accidents around here next Saturday night. I'll be wondering what the heck's going on around here!!

Good evening everyone. (Grabs bowl of beef stew with cornbread )
Well, a storm is heading our way and we're going to be soaked for the next few days. We can use the rain.
Where to begin. Cold and windy all day. Sun out for a while, but that didn't last. More snow. Utica has probably seen around a foot just from this storm. I stepped off a coach tonight to get the crossing gates at the 'North Pole' and went in to my knees. Thank goodness for longjohns. Wind has changed now to westerly, which means - LAKE EFFECT.
I rode the locomotive on the trip back south from the North Pole both times tonight. We were moving snow most of the time (it was falling that quickly) and the westerly winds were doing a wonderful job of blowing the snow out of the trees - making for zero visibility. There were times I considered myself lucky if I could see the front handrails....
But we made both runs (plus I got a ride in an ALCO M425 on a trailbreaking mission before the PE trips) and everyone that actually got to the trains (many didn't due to the weather) had a good time.
I got a couple of good pictures, too. I'll share them later.
Good Monday morning. Gee, doesn't seem possible that next Monday is Christmas Eve! My, how time flies!! Larry, sounds as if you had another interesting week on The Polar Express. Larry, if you stepped off into a foot of snow, that would have completely covered me!!
Coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate and fresh juices (oj, oj/tangerine, pineapple) are ready to go this morning.
On the warmer bar: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, biscuits & sausage gravy, home fries, bagels, bear claws, blueberry and raisin-spice muffins, and oatmeal and toast.
Will start working on fixing soups (vegetable beef, cream of potato, cream of tomato, and bean & ham ) for today, after a little bit.
Guess that's about it this morning, except for the cold everwhere! You all take care, and see after awhile.
Spent a good part of the weekend watching all the people we know east of us. This winter has been pathetic. What happened to the 40's and 50's of years past? And more is coming this next weekend. Of course, I will share as always.
It is all too much - must hit the hammock for awhile....
morning
matt is closed for the day today.the main roads aren't bad but the country roads are drifted and sheets of ice.he is asking what mamma and I are going to do with him.a balmy 18 degress here right now.the bird feeders are filled and we have a blanket here for mookie in the hammock.
time for a nap myself.
