I think I gave too much heat away. -1 now...BRR! Off to work I go, however...yay. At least I'm still working!
Dan
Almost all of the snow here is gone - washed away by the rain. This morning it's all tending to freeze in preparation for a changeover to snow. That'll mean the snow is on top of a layer of ice, which is always fun.
I like Joe's suggestions.
For now, it's tea and a bearclaw.

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. Nothing but rain here this morning....
Good Wednesday morning, everyone. Dan, really liked your pictures. Warmed me up, that's for sure!
Mookie, got the coffee made, and here's your coffee mug, filled and ready for you! What would you like for breakfast? On the warmer bar, I've got: bacon, sausage, eggs, oatmeal, biscuits & gravy, hash browns, bagels, bear claws and some fruit (apples, oranges, bananas and pineapple. There's also fresh juice made, and cooling in the fridge, hot cider, hot chocolate, and hot water for tea.
I have been invited to go to a Christmas Lunch for ex KMart employees today; not sure if I will go or not. It's at Golden Corral, but I'd have to cross a street, very heavy with traffic at the time we would be finishing up, and leaving. Think I'd be better off staying home, where it's warm and dry.
Does anyone have any requests for our lunch and or supper menu for today?
Dan! The whole house warmed up! That feels much better.
Thanx
She who has no signature! cinscocom-tmw
These pics are for you Mook! Save 'em if you want 'em!
Warm yet? No?
Good evening everyone.
May I make a suggestion that we make some "warm and comforting" now that we're pretty much in winter at least every day? I was going to suggest beef stew, chili or a thicker hot soup as a daily dish at least until late winter.
Mookie Dan - I have been cold all day long and your pictures didn't warm me a bit. I know Willy wants snow, but I hope it stays in Omaha - all winter long!

Let me see what I can do for you...once I get home I think I know what will hit the spot!
Modelcar .......Those are very interesting and different photos. You must really be a serious railfan to be out in that stuff. Like the photo with the row of street lights....That really looks like cold and serious winter conditions. The rendition of the glowing signals is great too....

Thanks Q. It was interesting. The roads were worse this morning than they were yesterday. Trains were moving again today but I was always just out of position for any kind of "decent" shot. It's like that sometimes!
Good afternoon, folks. Well, Produce went well this morning: 97 people, and no one disorderly! They even stayed quiet, to listen for their names to be called. On the truck today: pints of chocolate milk, 10# bags of potatoes, bags of salad mix, lettuce, and broccoli.
Dan, those are great pictures you got in your serious snow fall last night!!
I have our regular Tuesday Mexican Fiesta ready and on the warmer bar. All the tacos, burritos, spanish rice, quesadillas, enchiladas, etc., and, believe it or not, there's still penty of Mookie's chocolate birthday cake left for dessert.
Think I'm going to go take a nap, then make a trip to the Post Office to mail Christmas cards. You all have a great afternoon, and I'll try not to get too wet, when I make my outing. It was pouring a little while ago. When I came back to the house after Produce, it was only raining a little bit. But it picked up and poured in a hurry.

Here's some pics from "Winter Wonderland".
On the way home from railfanning in the snow:

The snowblower works (finally!):
Now I'll go and see what CN has running.
I see one common occurrence in the reports this morning....Wind. We too have some here but not that bad. Warm air from the south is blowing thru here. 45 degrees now and to get to around 50 today. Rain is also with us this morning but believe that will end sometime this pm or so.....
I've been watching the reports of where the support package for our American auto industry might stand with our Congressional leaders and the White House this morning......Seems a decision might be forthcoming yet today. Oh what times these are building into....! Markets seem to be trying to build on any kind of positive news and perhaps have really factored in some of the continuing less than good news.
No snow remaining here on the ground....What little we had on the grass was washed away with the rain and higher temps this morning.
Up to 34 as I write this - but that's not a good thing. Rain, possibly freezing, in the forecast, which will undoubtedly cause no end of problems. When the temperature drops back down, everything will turn into a block of ice...
Pulled out of the driveway this morning and it was immediately obvious that the plows hadn't been through recently (I heard them around 4). That usually means that school has been delayed (the highway people deny that, but it's too common to think otherwise), but they hadn't. Neither was work...
I shouldn't, but I'll have a bearclaw...
21 degrees and 11 inches of snow and counting. Snow should taper off by 6 PM. I think I'll see what the snowblower can do about the sidewalk. Catch you all later! BTW, thanks for the early X-Mas present Mookie!
Joe: Mookie and Santa have an agreement. He keeps me on a special list and I don't divulge that Rudolph is really a lady reindeer. She has taken "lead, follow or get out of the way" to a whole new level. Mostly the 3rd one.
21 and not moving much from there with a blizzard wind. So happy there is no snow. Leaf dances going on instead.
Brrrr.....
Good morning!! 51 and overcast in Carolina this Tuesday morning, and I am feeling better, for a change. My girls woke me up early, allowing that they needed to go out, and it is so different outside that they didn't want back in. Yesterday, it was 26 as I recall, and they nearly knocked the door down getting back in.... Everybody take care and stay warm

Joe
Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Really nice temps here this morning: 53 degrees, and supposed to get to the upper 50s today. Around 10:00 a.m., we're supposed to have some winds come in. They could be gusting to about 40 mph, along with the rain. Right now, though, no rain is in our immediate area.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot water for tea are ready. And on the warmer bar this morning: oatmeal, toast, bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, bagels and bear claws.
Tom, I'm glad to hear that you're feeling a tab bit better.
You all have a good morning, and I'll be back later.
We had stuff in the Salt Lake Valley today, for the first time in over a month. Out where I live, about six miles west of the center of Salt Lake City, we had maybe an inch, which did not stick except on grass (my backyard is still green, with white spots now). Snowbird (8000') got about nine inches; other ski resorts got less. There was snow up in the hills late last week, but we had only rain. It's about 33 degrees here now; a low of about 25 is expected tomorrow morning, which will make for brisk walking weather for me.

mudchicken Including the stuff that just started here?

Well, I can't take credit for sending it east any more. They said it will miss us - will stay more in Ray's area. Dodged a bullet again!
Weather guessers are now talking 14" of snow by noon-ish tomorrow. I'm glad the snowblower is working. Since Misty works out of town I told her to stay where she works (hotel) rather than chance driving on black ice. Lotsa cars are already in the ditches and snow is still falling.
We'll see if CN is busy tomorrow morning in the snow. Could make for interesting pics and makes me thankful for 4wd.
Hi
warehouse is busy busy busy.lots of trucks to load.maybe randy will stop by some day? Cw thanks for supper.Matts class is going to watch the polar express soon at school.maybe I can ride the bus with him that day?? time to get cleaned up.
Thanks for all the kind wishes. I think the pink eye is trying to come back and I have a headache from that. I do feel better at present. The house is still cold and that ain't helping my disposition any. The wife left for the morning and I turned the heat up a notch. She came home, turned it down a notch and turned the A/C on...... Plus, every ceiling fan we have is blowing! BRRRRRRRR. Nuff sed
Well, I made it back from the doctor's office (after sitting there in the waiting room for over two hours). Then spent an hour in the back, with the dr. visit itself, and getting blood drawn for usual tests. Everything seems to be going smoothly.
Tom, I sincerely hope you are feeling better this afternoon. Feeling under the weather is definitely no fun.
You all take care, and I'll be back in a couple of hours or so.
Q and Tree: we could count all the snow flakes we have had, which doesn't bode well for when we do finally get really nailed. West and north of us the state has had measureable inches.
Tree: we are acquainted with a family in the "mitten" of Michigan. In watching their weather, they probably wonder if they will ever see grass again.....
So far what Sir Mud has had has (say that fast 3 x) missed us totally. We seem to be getting more from N/S Dakota and it swings down thru here and then east. Oh and while I am on N/S Dakota, heard on the radio that North Dakota is pretty much escaping the "recession, depression, concession, give-away" we are in.
So everyone head for No Dak and throw the earth off its axis!
