Much warmer today–about thirty degrees with overcast this morning, so I walked my three miles (Monday and Tuesday were too cold). The sun did come out from time to time today, and we saw a few drops of rain on the windshield when we were out late this morning. The cold air that is trapped below the warm air is supposed to begin escaping tomorrow, as a storm comes in. Next week, we may have some help when the legislature convenes on Monday.

Good Friday morning, everyone. Much 'warmer' here this morning, with a temp in the low 40s. Supposed to get up into the mid 50s this afternoon.
Coffee, juice, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot water for tea are ready.
On the counter this morning: glazed doughnuts, apple, cherry, raspberry and peach danishes, chocolate covered, cream filled doughnuts, vanilla iced vanilla filled doughnuts, chocolate covered cream filled long johns, bagels and bear claw; and, there's also some muffins: blueberry, cherry, chocolate muffins w/chococlate chips.
I hope everyone had a very good night, and will have a very good morning. If you need anything else, I'll be around, maybe go visiting elsewhere around the forums.
Good morning and thanks for breakfast. Wow, Paula, that is some spread that you put out this morning. I gon be here for a while!! 36 degrees with some overcast in Carolina this AM, much improved over the past few days. Yall take care and stay warm

Sir C: Isn't that what you drink the dew for - stimulus? Or are you like me - I drink a cup of black coffee and then take a nap. Not sure just why....
...........39.2 sunny degrees as I type. Lots of sunshine so far this week. Colder weather for the weekend. But we're working thru January really well.

Joe, we're supposed to going back into the freezer tomorrow. May even be tonight, because they're calling for some possible flurries overnight tonight. But for right now, we have a very pleasant 55 degrees with plenty of sunshine! Think we'll be spending some time out in the backyard this afternoon.
Joe, Tom and others, glad you enjoyed breakfast this morning. Now, you can enjoy our Friday Fish Fry. Everything is on the warmer bar, ready and waitin' for you all.
MC, do I need to stop putting hot cider on the morning menu?
Everyone have a good afternoon, keep safe and take care.
Wow - pushing 40 here. Haven't checked the forecast, but I'm sure it can't last. I should get out and clean some of the packed snow and ice off the driveway while I have a chance.

snow here! Evidently whatever it does in the northeast, it does the opposite here! Icky weekend to train watch. However.....
Yes, Larry, get that stuff off while you can; tomorrow may be too late.
Mild-about thirty here this morning after rain and before more rain. Some sunshine this afternoon, but not much. The cold front that brought this rain did not do much to lift the cold layer of air (and whatever you want to name that is in it) that keeps us colder than the ski resorts (they are maybe 4000 feet higher than we are). I still have hopes that hot air from our Capitol Hill will help us some come Monday. We do expect some snow on the weekend.
Our driveway is clear, thankfully. Temperatures were hovering around 30 all morning and well into the afternoon, but while Pat and I were in the grocery store, the wind shifted. When it drops down to single digits this evening, it may not come out until sometime Sunday--and that "warmup" will probably bring the snow with it.
Ironically, today is the day that the average high temperature for Chicago rises above its annual minimum for the first time.
I wish we could get any sort of meaningful breeze from our capital. Plenty of hot air from the "Guv", who just doesn't seem to get it.

Cw thanks for supper.well it was nice and sunny this afternoon but the wind picked up and is getting colder.Carl I saw a news report on your govenor(for now) and it was summed up best in 1 word.We helped a guy get his car running so he wouldn't be out in the cold.guess he will buy a new gas guage soon.
I haven't paid much attention to young Mr. Daly and his sayings. Is any worth repeating? I have a nephew in Bolingbrook,but I have not discussed the current state of the state with him.
Salt Lake City is, if not already, about to be shut down by fog--one of the runways has been closed, and it may well be that nothing will be allowed to take off as well as to land. It's quite foggy out here, about six miles south of the airport. That leaves us with civilized transport only (though Greyhound may be able to move over the road). I'll check in the morning and see how Amtrak 5 & 6 ran tonight.
Yes, fish for supper. Thanks, Paula.
Good morning folks, it's 4:30 AM here in Sioux Falls and I am getting ready to go to work at Howes Oil Company. Thought I would stop in here first and put breakfast together for everyone else. This morning we have a pan of freshly baked cinnamon rolls, coffee, hot cider, orange and pineapple juices, bear claws, donuts and cream filled rolls, blueberry pancakes, french toast, hot maple syrup, scrambled eggs, bacon and pork sausage links.
While I don't know about the rest of you folks, we've had it pretty nice weather-wise here in Sioux Falls......up until now that is. Right now our temp is roughly -4 degrees below 0, to say nothing of what the wind chill factor might be, and our projected high is only about 7 or 8 degrees above 0.
Well, I hope the rest of you out there all have a good day. Stay warm, stay safe!

Good Saturday morning, everyone. Ray!! Where on earth have you been?!?!?! Haven't seen you in here for awhile now. (Guess you've been really busy, huh? And thank you so much for fixing such a wide assortment of goodies for breakfast this morning!
Considering the fact that we got up to 60 degrees yesterday, it's really cold this morning: temp is in the upper 20s, and they say we'll really struggle to get to 32 degrees this afternoon. Ray, I'm glad we don't have your temps, but I think we'll be getting them back. Temps in the morning are supposed to be in the teens. Guess we can all hold on for 7 1/2 weeks, until the official start of Spring.
Everyone have a good day, stay warm and take care.
yes mother nature has opened up the freezer this morning.going to help mamma with chores today and run trains inside.ray thanks for breakfast.will be back later for pizza.
Good morning. 53 degrees and rain in Carolina this morning. It is supposed to get up to 57 before dropping to 37 tonight, Ray, thanks for breakfast. Yall stay warm and safe
Well - 40 yesterday, 0 right now. What a difference! At least we didn't get the snow they promised us. I saw a few flakes last night, but there wasn't enough to make a difference.
Bacon, eggs, the works this morning. Lots to do!
Good morning, all. The report was 42 degrees at seven this morning, and the sky seemed to be cloudy (the sun was still hiding over in eastern Utah, so I could not really tell). It is partly cloudy now.
Last night, something (I think it had to be more than fog) really delayed the westbound CZ, which due in at eleven--it arrived at 5:24 this morning. It was only 2:21 late out of Denver. The eastbound train arrived ten minutes early.

A few flakes? In the UK our underworked TV reporters would have been yanked out of their overstaffed newsrooms and despatched to show us what snow actually looks like, and comment accordingly, in hushed reverential tones.

We had a few flakes down here this afternoon. It took 4 deputies and a canine officer to bust them, and now they are in the gaol waiting a bail hearing.
Well it warmed up to about 15 degrees here this afternoon and it has been slowly cooling down here, right now in Sioux Falls we have a temp of 10 degrees above 0. I don't know if we are to get any snow at all this week, I for one could certainly do without it.
My furnace, which was brand new in 2002, has chosen to malfunction on me, and while I am not totally without heat, it takes a while for the heat to come back up once I turn the thermostat up. My brother-in-law looked at it last Sunday while I was at work and he told me he had to order a part for it, and I am assuming he is still waiting for it to come in. Harley, my brother-in-law, is a plumbing & heating contractor and he knows his trade pretty thoroughly. I kind of wonder what my family would do without him!
Well, it got up to about 35 today and was nice and Sunny, so Sarah & I decided to
do a bit of railfanning.
Unfortunately, there wasn't very much going on.
Got home and found CW on the phone with Dell Tech Support;
seems 'puter did something that it normally doesn't, so she had
to call for help; which in doing so, found that the call had been routed
to somewhere in India.
She is now in the kitchen fixing the food for the Saturday PIZZA FEST
Menu Follows:
1. Anchovy
2. Cheese and Extra Cheese
3. Pepperoni/Canadian Bacon/Mushroom
4. Goetta
5. Hawaiian
6. Supreme

Went in to town today to run camera for the local PBS station's antique auction (managed to avoid being sold myself).
Left the house about 4 to get some shopping in before going to the TV station. It was cold - about 5 above.
Left the station in the midst of a heavy lake effect event. Didn't check the temp at the truck, but when I got home (to starlit skies - no snow in sight - such is the nature of lake effect hereabouts) it was -16F. It's warmed up to -14F now at 2 AM.
Time to snuggle in. The Dal is informing me it's time for bed.
