Cannonball.....If you remember the streets in Muncie, the one I mentioned is located just {north}, off 12th {Memorial Dr}, just a bit east of Walnut st. I drove by it about a year ago and it appeared to have folks living in it.

Good Sunday morning, everyone. Joe, thanks so much for getting breakfast this morning. Those cinnamon rolls really smell great this morning, too. We have a current temp of 31 degrees, no rain, no snow, just a tad bit cold this morning. Supposed to only get to 34, maybe 35 degrees today. But, are supposed to see some sun later on.
Brian, how are you doing? Hope you're on the road to a full recovery! And I'd be very interested if you can get a photo of that house design you all have been discussing on here.
Later on today, Mutt will be doing the cooking. He's going to be making his spaghetti casserole, and Sarah and I can hardly wait! Of course, I will help him a little bit with it, but he mostly makes it on his own. Wish we had the ingredients for him to make/bake his mince meat bars. Those are pretty good, too.
Everyone have a good day, stay warm, and take care.
.....Believe we're in the lucky area of this midwest area for current weather.....Further north, they seem to have had more than their share of snow, etc...
This morning we have just very light snow flurries and that has covered over the smooth ice on our streets. Still not that good, but so much better than the sheer ice we were covered with yesterday. Didn't leave our home yesterday but today we'll carefully head to church....about 12 min. away in a normal drive.
27 degrees min. now and not to get much warmer today.
Starting Wednesday, we'll start to receive the massive cold blast coming down from Alaska and it is to extend far south and last into the weekend.
Below zero temps are forecast for several of those days.
This is the heart of winter.....We're below the avg. snow fall so far this season by quite a bit but the extreme cold air is on the way. Certainly, with that kind of conditions....we'll not be seeing sleet or pure ice coming down in rain form, etc....Some snow off and on for next few days, but the most I've heard anyone say is coming is roughly a max of 2"...So that part of it isn't bad.
People just north of our state {and some of extreme north Indiana}, have been dumped on with snow...Family members in southern Michigan report over 11" last evening.
The temp stayed above zero (barely) last night, but the fringes of the storm that gave folks to the south of us fits left about 3" in my driveway. Was up at 5 because of an ambulance call, so I fired up the ol' snowblower and cleared it out. I could have shovelled it, but that's not why I got the snowblower....

Morning everyone.....
Glad I got stuck down in Georgia when that snow came through, called my parents yesterday, they got about 14 inches, plus the weathermen goofed on the track, so weren't expecting it. Dad had fun with his ATV plowing the snow, although if we get much more, mom won't be able to see out the kitchen window.
About 40 down in Cartersville at the moment, will leave for Atlanta in a while, my glass bottle load should be ready by then, then up to Ohio's largest brewery in Trenton. Freight has been very bad lately, my dispatcher said that we had about 60 or so trucks sitting in Georgia waiting on loads.
See everyone later....

I'd offer to help your folks, but there isn't any room to put additional snow in Delavan.
Yesterday, drove down to meet my daughter for a birthday lunch at a restaurant near the Lincolnshire Marriott Resort. Took Route 12 through Fox Lake, then 60-83 over to Route 21 through the snow. Trip reminded me that snow plowing anywhere in Lake County (IL) is a joke. Going back took I94 to Route 50. Much better trip.
More snow due tomorrow then a week of very cold. Good time to be very nice to your dispatcher.

My sister thinks the same way about the skills (or lack thereof) of the city of Burlington snow crews......
As for my dispatcher, he has some 'splainin' to do tomorrow, seems that the load that, according to the info I got off my Qualcomm, was supposed to load this afternoon, I got down there at noon and found out it will not load till Monday. I was not amused.....
Some 'comfort food' sounds good tonight.....
Yo Joe! Got the 2 CSX doubleheading an MT coal train and the one KCS dpu on an MT coal that you sent. They had snow on them. Boo Hiss.....Please brush before sending. Thank you
Also had a lot of coal coming and going, one grain train headed west (looked MT) an a 79 car tanker train placard 1987 - alcohol of some sort. Good day at the tracks!
I will go find a fork to help Randy with his comfort food. Just about anything is good with me.

cherokee woman Brian, how are you doing? Hope you're on the road to a full recovery! And I'd be very interested if you can get a photo of that house design you all have been discussing on here.
I'm feeling absolutely marvelous, and I've dropped close to 20 pounds since Christmas. I'll try and get a cell-phone shot of one of those homes when I go to a doctor's appointment Tuesday- otherwise all my daylight hours are spoken for by my employer.
Brian (IA) http://blhanel.rrpicturearchives.net.
Brian, that will be fine. No need to hurry, though, on my account. Just very glad that you are feeling so much better!!
Mutt has supper ready: his spaghetti casserole, with garlic bread, and a nice garden salad.
For dessert: I spent the afternoon baking some cherry pies for tonight, and this week. And, there's plenty of vanilla, neopolitan, and peach ice cream to go with the pies.
Randy, hope they have your load ready for you in the morning. If they don't, I know you'll be very, very upset with them.
I think they're calling for us to have a few snow flurries tonight, but no snow showers until Tuesday night, Wednesday morning. Then, very cold, freezing temps for the rest of the week. You all enjoy your supper, have a good evening, and stay warm and take care.
Brain, I'm glad to hear that you are doing well.
High twenties with heavy overcast and no precipitation promised this morning. We had a few flakes of snow fall on us on our way to church, but none since. No precipitation is promised this week; only cold (twenties-thirties).
North Georgia can be cold--and when I went down to Albany a couple of weekends one winter, it was chilly there. At least there was no snow or ice down there.

That's not cold, Johnny, that's BALMY. They're telling us that Thursday our high won't reach ZERO. NOW THAT'S COLD!

We're hearing about the same thing for later in the week. It's only -2F here right now, and it's not even 8 PM.
Good thing I got a new battery for the truck!
Evening all!
Just returned home after a great weekend. I left Friday with my girl and we headed down to Myton, Utah to spend the weekend with my dad on the ranch. However we (my step mom included) didn't tell him we were coming. Spent Saturday working out on the ranch feeding the cows and horses and repairing some fences. But the real reason we went down was to pick up meat for the family. 600 pounds worth of ground beef. Everyone in my family now has literally no space left in their freezer.
It was about 30 degrees all weekend but It is supposed to get colder. Hopefully we get a little more snow in the next week. Snowshoeing class starts wednesday....

Good Monday morning, everyone. We are at 32, 33 degrees, depending where you live here in the Louisville area this morning. Supposed to make it up to about 40. Tonight, some people, especially north of the Ohio River, may see some light accumulation of snow by morning.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider, and hot water for tea are ready. On the warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, blueberry muffins, turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, hash browns, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy.
RJ, sounds like you had a nice time this weekend. Hope you didn't work too hard on the farm this weekend. Or is it a ranch? I know, from growing up, that either one is full of hard work, no matter.
Hope everyone has a good day, keep safe, take care, and see you all later.
..........About 26 degrees and of course still dark. No snow but expect some activity in the pm today...I did note yesterday we now will see the sun rise 1 min. earlier as of yesterday so we're on glide path to spring, just a bit long until we land though.
Word of another close friend and a member of our church family passed on last night at 10:50. We visited at the hospital yesterday right after church....The lady had lost a daughter last summer and now her husband.
Scheduled Dr. appointment for me this morning to check if meds are working ok that we changed a couple months ago.
Then lunch with a neighbor friend....
Best to all for the new week.
Morning. 26 degrees and sunshine in Carolina this morning. Where is Joe? I am waiting to hear about the big derailment and fire at Defiance. I am sure he will give us the details. CW, thanks for breakfast. Everybody stay safe and warm.

Very sunny and 31 here - snow was forecast, but only flaked a little.
Possibility that just the distance between Lincoln and Omaha (roughly 50 miles) may mean the difference in weather systems. Omaha says that they will be single digits rest of week, while Lincoln says 12 should be our coldest day and around 30 's. Guess we will see how this all plays out by next weekend.
If you can get enough sunshine and like us, have little to no snow around you, it can be very pleasant to be outside (Houston, are you listening?)
Talking about filling the freezer from home, I used to room with girls from small towns around Lincoln and they would keep us supplied in meat they would bring from home. It really helped out on expenses for us!

No snow there? Interesting. We're getting dumped on again as I type this. I think you Nebraskanites need to blow harder in our direction to overcome the prevailing flow from Canada.
hold on, Brian.

cw thanks for supper.busy day here today.hey mudchix check your mailbox.it was full yesterday.time to get ready for work.
OK, here's a cellphone snapshot of what I "think" is a Lustron Home:
Am I correct?
blhanel Am I correct?
.....A good cell phone photo. And in my opinion {just an interested person on the subject}, I believe you certainly are.
Edit: I do wonder about the location of the entrance door....But it certainly could have been modified in that area and could have been added later by an owner.
The siding part sure looks like one. Looks like the one here did, except the front door was in a tiny porch and faced 90 degrees the other way.
It was a pretty nice day here today, about 30 degrees and sunny.
Paula - It is a Ranch. Just cows and hay. We didnt work too hard, this time of year is usually slower than usual. Just feeding cows and getting ready for next season's hay. We are getting ready to get busy though, hopefully we will be getting a pivot put in on the big field at the end of February.
Evening, everyone. Mutt and I were gone most of the afternoon: a part on his eye glasses broke yesterday, and I needed to have mine readjusted. Then we stopped at the grocery, and picked up a few more items to have on hand.
Brian, thanks for the picture. I think I've seen some homes like that in our Metro area. Are most of them only one or two bedroom homes? They look on the small side.
RJ, thanks. I figured out there it would be called a ranch, but know there are small ones that are called farms.
Supper is on the warmer bar: leftover spaghetti casserole w/salad and garlic bread; and also, there's some chili (mild or medium), if anyone wants that tonight.
Not too sure how much longer I'm going to be able to stay awake. Woke up at 3:45 this morning, and it's been a looonnnng day. Still need to get through emails. Wonder if I'll manage to get through them all. You all have a good evening, stay warm and take care.

Paula....Check Google for "Lustron Homes"....There you can see various photos of them....and probably make up your mind if you have seen them in your area.
