Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Abusing the copy machines in the off hours here. Get to teach in TinShoes backyard (Ames) on Friday and then work my way back home starting Saturday. I'm sure Mooks will be looking for somebody on the wrong side of the asparagus barrier.
50 degrees this afternoon and looking at 3-6 inches of snow this morning by daylight and a high just barely into double digits? Mother Nature is off on another of her patented mean streaks.

Cannonball: This was our second time back at Produce since before Christmas; and so far, the food seemed to be in a better condition (at least, as far as I could tell). All I got was some onions yesterday. And they were big, fat onions! They also brought 10# bags of potatoes, greens, and some more very soft yellow peppers. Glad to hear life's getting better!
Mudchicken, which do you prefer in your job: being out in the field, or being in the classroom, teaching? Or a little bit of both?
Coffee, hot tea, hot chocolate and hot cider are all ready, so everyone help yourselves. And for breakfast: steaming hot oatmeal, boiled rice, toast, bacon, sausage, hot homemade buttermilk biscuits, gravy and cinnamon rolls.
Blah....ok - Good Morning, Blah!
More snow this afternoon and overnite - 5-6 inches before we are done. MC - I don't like the Colorado weather you are sending us. Going to raid CW's veggie patch and draw you a nice hot bath!
I hate snow! We still have lots of it on the north side of the house where the "sun don't shine!"

Bright morning....Sun is coming in here almost on the computer screen. That's a good thing {In January}. To be 40 today.

Been out for a walk this morning, and got back a little while ago. Unfortunately, didn't hear or see any trains while I was out.
Dan, good to see you in here!! Mookie, we haven't seen much snow, but I know how you feel: not too fond of it myself any more!! And we're supposed to be getting some of it beginning sometime tonight. (big ole frown)
Got some things put out on the warmer bar for lunch: Italian spaghetti w/garlic bread, oven roasted potatoes, sweet green peas w/carrots; roast w/taters, carrots and onion; and other sides are cole slaw and garden salad.
Desserts: chocolate cake w/chocolate icing; yellow cake with caramel icing; Dutch apple pie and cherry pie w/whipped cream available to put on top of the pies.
If things this afternoon go as slow as they've been in here, lunch menu will probably be supper menu, as well.
Mook, you would'nt want to live where I do. So far this year we've had close to 60" of snow. That terrible white stuff just keeps falling. This weekend lows between -7 amd -13. That would explain why people up here move to Florida in the winter.
...For comparison....we here in central Indiana have had: 14.5" , Somewhat above average and we're to see it go as low as zero or 2 below this weekend.
Many years ago...{1958}, in my home area of Pennsylvania we had a total season amount of 188" of snow.
Doghouse - does that pertain to your status at times or the cab over trucks that had doghouses...?
Anyway - we used to have a lot more snow than we do now - and I don't miss it one bit. But our ice has never lessened and in the summer the humidity flattens you.
I would move in a heartbeat, but can't find anything that stays about 70-75.... 24/7/365 - and San Diego is getting waaaaay to crowded!
We average between 97" and 108" yearly. You must of lived in one of those snow belts, no? Thats over 15 feet of snow. Not bad.
.....Yes, that was a crisis amount of snow....The area is western Pennsylvania {Somerset Co.}, and some of the lake effect snow does reach down into the area at times. Elevation is 2,000'. That helps.
I really don't know now just what the seasonal avg. is for the area {just don't remember}, but it does get a lot of snow in a normal Winter.
I remember to open some roads, outside contractors used bulldozers to open some drifts, pushing perpendicular to the line of the road, knocking down fences, etc...
And of course all the big "blowers" were in use to cut thru massive drifts and even power shovels were put into action to dig out some places that had special amount of drifts. It was quite an experience.
Mookie:
There is always North Carolina where snow is maybe twice a year occurance and most folks don't really pay much attention to the speedlimits anyhow.

Pshaw! Try 12' in one storm! (Redfield NY, last winter)
Syracuse is one of the snowiest non-mountain areas in the country - 110-120" is a normal winter. In fact, people get disappointed if they don't beat last year....

Hey tree:
I'll let you have all that white stuff that looks a lot like grits up there with you.
....I believe 30" is the most I've seen fall in a 24 hr. period. That is enough to paralyze most forms of transport for a while.
It's also enough to muff out almost all sounds, especially if it is a moist snow sticking to everything.

thanks for supper.as for snow the most I've seen is the blizzard of 78.nobody moved for a week.last years febuary storm was only 10 inches of snow but the wind made very high drifts out here in the country.going to be interesting this weekend.bundle up.
Good, looks like we've had a busy afternoon in here! And it looks like most of the Italian spaghetti and garlic bread disappeared. Someone must have moved it to a siding for later.
So guess that leaves the beef roast, potatoes, carrots, peas and slaw for supper tonight. Joe and Lance, have containers fixed for you both for work tonight.
Think the snow won't show up for us untl sometime in the morning. Joe, I remember that snow of 1978: I was working at the bank at the time, and the snow went above my knees, about like it did in 1994, when our city was basically shut down.
.....We're to get off easy on the latest snow working thru....Less than an inch. Believe the "Low" is passing just above us...So we're on the "good" side of it.
Good Thursday morning. Looks like we bit the bullitt. It is snowing, not very heavy, but temp is currently 33, going to a high in the low to mid 40s, so what we have right now, which may top out at 1/2", will be gone this afternoon. Our Jefferson Co. schools are open, and just to the south of us, in Bullitt Co., are closed.
Coffee, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot tea are ready, and fresh juice is made this morning. On the warmer bar: bacon, sausage, oatmeal, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, bagels, bear claws, fresh pineapple slices and cantaloupe chunks are on the menu this morning.
Do I have any requests for today's lunch and supper menus? Feel like taking requests today, so if there's anything special you'd like to have, just let me know!
Talked with Jim (JHH) last night. He's doing all right.
Where are Brian Hanel, Willy, Tina, Canadian Kevin, Houston Ed? Who else are we missing in here lately? Kevin must have really slipped waaaaay down in the couch cushions!
Saposed start snowing in the Chicago area in the next couple hours
Now im hungry!
a little snow/rain mix here in nw ohio.getting ready for the big chill this weekend.but tonight is friday for me.
Red sky at morning...
Had one yesterday, too, but nothing came of it. By the looks of the radar we'll see something today, though.
Thought I had tonight off (after work) but just remembered that I have a dinner meeting. At least there's dinner involved! The dogs are wondering if I'll ever come home. They got spoiled over the holidays.
And Monday is a federal holiday, so I get a three day weekend. This is the first five day week I've put in since before Thanksgiving - it's gonna be a long one!
Bearclaw and tea. I'll be looking over the instructions for that new DeLorme mapping program I got. One thing about stuff like that is that there are features you just never discover. It's like Christmas every time you play with it....
