I've been thawing peach and blueberry cobblers, and just getting ready to take them out of the oven. Have also replenished the warmer bar with the barbecue ribs and chicken, along with the side dishes. Everyone enjoy, and have a good, safe, warm evening. Joe and anyone else working third tonight, might want to bundle up real good!
Joe, got some peach and blueberry cobbler ready for you to have before you go to work.
O.K!, the ice cream is ready for serving! I made two gallons of "cookies n' cream". It should go well with peach and blueberry cobbler.
Just got home from work and we have 18 degrees here in Sioux Falls. It's supposed to get down to 4 above 0 tonight and I suppose I could throw my wool indian blanket on my bed tonight. We have a 40% chance of snow for tomorrow, and I for one could do without it.
Stay warm, folks!
Ray ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
Good Friday morning, everyone. Very cold and blustery here in the Louisville area this morning. Current temp is about 27 degrees, with a wind chill in around 17 degrees. Time to bundle up when going outside!
Coffee, hot chocolate, juices, hot cider and hot water for tea are all ready to go.
On the counter this morning: doughnuts ( cake and yeast), cream filled chocolate long johns, custard filled long johns and regular custard & cream filled doughnuts, strawberry danish, apple danish, peach danish and raspberry danish.
Thought I'd never get in this morning: ISP was acting up, and would not open.
Mookie, got your coffee mug down, and ready to pour nice, hot coffee in it, as soon as you come in.
You all enjoy your treats this morning, stay warm, keep safe, and all that jazz!!

Be thankful, it could be worse, like it is here. Currently 9 degrees. Brrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!
I'm thankful that the landscape is not white- we'd be below zero if that were the case.

And a good, cold, frosty morning it is! I don't know if anyone has it any warmer than this, but right now we have a temp of 6 degrees above 0 here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. Shivver me timbers!! If we are lucky it will warm up to about 29 later this afternoon. And we have a 40% chance of precipitation in the form of snow for tomorrow.
CW, thanks much for serving breakfast. I think I'll grab myself a custard-filled roll and pour myself a cup of hot cider while I am here.
I hope the rest of you out there all have a good day. Stay safe, stay warm!
Good morning. 40 and clear this lovely Friday in Carolina with a nice cool breeze. That breeze would have been welcome in July....... Thanks for breakfast and everybody stay warm

I got a 13 here, 13, 13, anyone give me a 14? I need 14.....
Really need about 65, but will take anything above 13. Paper sez the true Midwest will be warmer than usual this winter. And if I burn that paper, it will be even warmer yet. Sorry Brian/Mudchicken - that ain't you. You either belong to the east or the west.
Thanx CW - will take the coffee. Have some puter work to do this morning and it's "Oops I ran out of socks" day, so that awaits me too.
Sun shining - it's Friday I am breathing.. Might be a good day after all!
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
Nineteen here. No snow, but if you'd like some, you only have to go a little way south and you'll have plenty.
Gotta endure a few more hours of work, then work on some projects for Polar Express. Making a trip to Utica Saturday (weather permitting) to help put finishing touches on the decorations.
It is a good time for a break and a bearclaw, though.

tree68Nineteen here. No snow
26 now and noted it was 23 much earlier here in {our midwest too J.....not the east}.....Although the east is where we originate from. But, we also had a dusting of the white stuff starting last night. I'm calling it a half inch {I keep a record of local snows here at the desk}, I doubt it was....
Sun is shining bright since it peeked up over the horizon and is making short work of it even though it's still below freezing. Roads and driveways, etc....are now bare.
Just for the trivia record: Our local avg. snowfall annually is about 27".
And in reality the last 4 seasons have averaged 24".
Good afternoon, everyone. Yeah, Quentin, we've got sunshine here, but it's still only about 32 degrees outside. Feels better here in the house, even though my feet are very cold (and I even have on a pair of thick socks!).
Our regular Friday Fish Fry is now on thewarmer bar, along with all the regular side dishes and desserts. Believe there's even some of Ray's cookies and cream ice cream left to go with the cobblers.
Think I'm going to go take a nap now. Seems like it's been a very long morning, after being put on hold for over 12 minutes a couple of times on a couple of phone calls, and still no one coming on the line to talk with me. Will give it another go after a short nap.
Quentin, we haven't had 27" total for the whole past 25 years. Most of us here like a dusting, enough to cover the grass good. Any more than that and the state closes down. Say snow and there is a run on the supermarkets and filling stations. Take care
afternoon
was able to see a couple trains while running errands in town.The local garden club has sponsored some lights for the former depot sight here in town.Matt will be surprised.The trains also showed the lake michigan snowbelt was active in nw indiana as well.They also reported some contractors were a little to close to the line while working on the new 24 overpass over CSX west of town.CW thanks as always for supper.

Yea Tom, I know where you are coming from....Sweep the shelves of bread and milk. Throw in batteries, and perhaps fill the family vehicle....
Again, a bit of trivia: Our home location back east....Southwestern Pennsylvania produced much more in snow fall. I remember back in 1958 we had a total of 188" of the stuff that season. I had just purchased a '57 Corvette and managed to get around in that...!! Single then, and that was my transportation. Single until Dec. 13th that year....
It looks like this place has been pretty dead here for the last several hours. The coffee is about done brewing and I've mixed fresh batches of orange and pineapple juices. I've brought in a generous assortment of donuts, rolls and bear claws from my neighborhood Sunshine bakery. Otherwise I'll let CW or someone else add to what we already have here.
We have a temp of 27 degrees here in Sioux Falls this morning and we've gotten just a light trace of snow in the early morning hours, total accumulation will probably amount to less than an inch.
Our local HO scale railroad club, the Sioux Valley Model Engineers Society is hosting an open house and swap meet today and tomorrow, and one of our club members will be picking me up within a few hours. I sure wish that it were possible for a few of you folks out there to join us for a few hours. I figure Mookie and Brian Hanel live closest to Sioux Falls than anyone else.
I hope the rest of you all have a good day, stay warm!
Good morning
well there is going to be a rumble in Columbus today.We are going over to G+G house to watch the game.Juice coffee and hot chocolate are ready to go.We also have bacon eggs and pancakes as well.Going to be a chilly one today so bundle up if you go outside.
Good Saturday morning, everyone. Nice and cold here in Louisville this morning. We have 19 degrees at the NWS at the Lou. Int. Airport, and 23 degrees in the downtown area.
Ray and Joe, thank you both for providing breakfast this morning! I truly appreciate the help from both of you. Don't know about anyone else, but I'm really hungry this morning, so I may take one of everything this morning.
I wish everyone a good day, be careful in whatever you have to do today, and hopefully, I'll see you all back in here this evening for our Saturday Night Pizza Fest. And, everyone stay as warm as possible today.
Ray: Always enjoyed swap meets, but now getting so I could have my own to just get rid of a lot of stuff. I get rid of it and the Driver brings more in.
Had a nice lunch in Sioux Falls several years ago. Daughter lives in Bemidji, so went through there on our way to Fargo. Think she is moving more south shortly, so probably won't get back up that way unless we just decide to go to Minn for whatever reason.
CW - would like to request a special pizza tonite - chicken, mush and tomato. Just a little one, since I am not sure anyone else would eat it. Will you put it in the freezer for me - we are dining out tonite. We will have guests in the form of Denver Chickens for dinner. no, no, that doesn't sound quite right.
Lord Mud and Lady Boss will be in our fair city and we plan to end up at a restaurant somewhere. Must go unpack my manners.....
cherokee woman Good Saturday morning, everyone. Nice and cold here in Louisville this morning. We have 19 degrees at the NWS at the Lou. Int. Airport, and 23 degrees in the downtown area.
At the moment we have 19.6 degrees and the sun is peeking across the horizon but clouds are coming in from the west. So, I haven't payed attention to the forecast for today, not sure what it will do. Snow is gone.
No wind. Sis in law, from Western Pennsylvania mentions in her overnight letter they received 7 or 8" of snow yesterday. I'm really not ready for that. That area is 2000' elev. and that does make a difference, plus some lake effect coming down off Lake Erie.
Down here, we're just a bit out of reach from lake effect snow off of Lake Michigan. and we're over a 1000' lower in elev.
But cold, it is. And I wanted to mow the yard and mulch any straggling leaves one more time....And I will if the temps. moderate next week one day.
Good morning, it's Saturday. 25 degrees and sunny in Carolina, headed to 49 later today. It is supposed to get down to 22 tonight, so mebbe the moskeeters are gone for a while. CW, could we have some more liver and onions later? Thanks

I'd love to get up that way sometime again- we've been "through" Sioux Falls a couple of times (if you consider I-90 as going through Sioux Falls) on the way to and from the Black Hills. Unfortunately we have no family up that way, and it's a good five-hour drive from here.
Someday...
Mookie, your chicken, mush & tomato pizza is waiting in the freezer for you, along with a medium goetta pizza for mudchicken & Mrs. Boss Hen.
Tom, there's a little bit of liver & onions for you on the warmer bar.
And for our Saturday Night Pizza Fest:
1. Anchovie
2. Cheese w/extra cheese
3. Hawaiian
4. Pepperoni & mushroom
5. Supreme
And the following dessert pizzas: apple, peach and cherry.
You all have a good evening, and remember to stay warm, and bundle up real good, if you're going out anywhere tonight.
I was in Utica today - preps for Polar Express - when the eastbound Lake Shore paid it's daily visit. Judging by the encrusted snow and ice, they'd had some fun in the lake effect areas.
And it was COLD. Fortunately most of what I had to do was inside, but we had a crew sorting out the cars for the Polar train and getting them in the right order. They were cold. Our GM agreed with me that "2456" (the locomotive they were using to sort the cars) is hard to say when your jaw is all but frozen...
Aside from a few flurries in the sun on the way down this morning, I didn't see much snow falling. Plenty on the ground in the snowbelt, though, with more to come.
Just said our farewells to Sir Mud and Boss Hen. We had a great evening and I got some pretty good stories about bathtubs in roadways and Track Fairies. (I told you Sir C that this would find its way into the forum!)
Such a delightful couple. Ate at a place close to the BNSF Yard - and while saying our goodbyes outside, I was busy yelling at the yard to watch the slack - they were running it in too fast and making horrible sounds. Told them those knuckles were expensive. No drawbars on my watch!
They totally ignored me!
Tree - it was 10 on Friday morning and managed to make it up to 50 this afternoon with warmer weather here by Monday. I went through two different coats and finally gave up on one at all. Sunny and felt so good - no breeze. Will send you some. But then after the holiday - we will start getting down to business for Xmas and talk of light snow, cold and well, the usual nonsense of winter.
I have never been up this late so off to find a warm spot on my 2/3rds of the bed.

Single digits this AM - 2.6 as I post this. Of course, there wasn't a cloud in the sky last night when I took the dog for a walk. Lot's of stars, though!
