CW, that looks like a good lunch, except for the peas (Please keep your English peas).
Tom, I much prefer a light dusting that the sun will burn off to anything that requires a shovel or blower. It is especially bad if the schoolchildren have mashed the new-fallen snow down before I can get to it. Of course, we do what we have to do.
Larry, how's the grandchild?

Looks like it's been kind of slow in here this morning. People must be tired from yesterday. We were supposed to have 30, 32 degrees by noon, but the temp has only gotten to about 26 degrees. Think we may find it hard to reach 36, 37 by 5 p.m. today. There is a breeze from the south, but it is on the chilly side.
On the warmer bar: there's some breakfast selections left for those on the west coast; and for the rest of us: Beef pasta, broccoli w/cheddar cheese sauce, creamed peas for anyone who doesn't care for broccoli, country fried steak w/steak fries, along with the creamed peas, broccoli, mashed taters w/milk gravy and corn. There's also some biscuits, with various jams and jellies.
Everyone have a good afternoon, keep safe and take care.
Good morning everybody. 26 degrees and sunny in Carolina this morning. It is supposed to get up to 42 today, but was supposed to do the same yesterday when it only got up to 29. Our brief fling with snow is over and only vestiges remain in shaded areas. Alas, I like a heavy dusting, but they are few and far between here. Thanks for breakfast, and everybody stay safe and warm

Good Wednesday morning, everyone! We're starting the day with a temp of 16 degrees (in town) and 13 degrees (NWS offical reading at airport), going for a high today in the mid to upper 30s. Supposed to be 32 around noon.
We are all certainly very glad to see some of our old friends back in here! Now, we need to get a few more of them back in here: JHH, Dan Harmon, Zardoz, Mark H., Tina, Kathi, Jesse (one of our newer friends), etc. Speaking of older friends, I wonder how our friend Kevin is (the one who lives up in Quebec). And nance69, where are you??
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider, and hot water for tea are all ready.
On the warmer bar this morning: turkey bacon, sausage links & patties, scrambled eggs, hash browns & tater tots, and homemade buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy, sliced pineapple and there's even some grapefruit.
You all have a very good morning, stay warm and take care.
Good Eveining all!
Or should that be good morning.... Oh well, at any rate, It a beautiful night here just under 30 degrees and sadly here in town there is not much snow left. I got to go snowshoeing finally up in the Wind River Mountians, and it was BEAUTIFUL! I will try and post a photo later. The first week of college classes for the Springs semester is done and the second week is beginning but going slowly. Hopefully things will go better than last semester and hopefully I can get my GPA up....

Hi to all, I'm traveling the highways and towns of Wisconsin this week and stopped in for a cup of decaf coffee and a slice of CW's great pie (cherry or lemon please). I was in Minnesota last week and Wisconsin this week and back in Illinois next week for some local work (not to mention an entire week sleeping in my own bed....HURRAY!). Hope all is well with y'all and hope to visit again later this week. Stay safe!

Nora!! I'm so glad you dropped by! And, I hope you will drop by whenever you can! You are always welcomed here. How are you and the family doing? I'll bet the boys are really growing, right?!?! Hope everything is going well for you.
Nora:
Glad you dropped by, there is always a seat at the table for you.
Take care and come back often,

OK, now I am depressed. Just talked to a young lady visiting us here at work (on business). She was complaining about our weather. She lives just outside Colorado Springs...
GP - When you're not used to snow, a little will certainly look like a lot. The 28" they got in Adams Center over the weekend would have really been a shock to your area...
Johnny - I suspect that township I live in (~70 square miles) has more snow removal equipment for its 125 miles of roads than most mid-south cities.
DeggestyCW, did you watch for people you knew in DC?
Johnny, to answer your question, no, I didn't watch for people I might know this morning: I was too busy at the Community Center, with the Produce and signing in the people coming in to get fresh produce. And when I got home, I took a mid morning nap. So I missed the entire thing.
The produce truck showed up at a reasonably early time, and, unfortunately, there wasn't a lot on the truck: some shredded cabbage w/shredded carrots, shredded lettuce, some Tomilito (sp?) tomatoes, a few containers of cranberry orange relish, and potatoes. That was the extent of what was delivered.
Our regular Tuesday Mexican Fiesta is now on the warmer bar: tacos, burritos, bbq babyback ribs, chimichangas, fajitas, spanish rice, lettuce w/onion and tomatoes.
Larry, I hope the baby is soon well. Everyone have a good afternoon, and take care.
grampaw pettibone I may have overestimated the amount of snow. More likely, it was between an inch and two. At present, we have 29 and freezing rain, and the grass is beginning to show through the white, so it won't last too long. It doesn't take much to shut down this part of the state. We have no snow removal equipment at all. Don't get enough snow to justify it, but just a little stuff and the schools close, people panic and hit the grocery stores, etc. Anyway, hopefully, the ice will melt quickly and things can get back to normal.

Eighteen degrees this morning, still with haze. I could see the mountains until the sun came up over them, and now it is just glare.
Larry, I trust your grandbaby throws the pneumonia off soon, and that there is no need for you to go down.
CW, did you watch for people you knew in DC?
Tom, when I was growing up, in the Upcountry, we seldom had much snow, but the ice storms could really wreak havoc. The schools may not have shut down, but many school buses would be late getting into town (this applied after heavy rains, too) because most of the country roads were clay with a little gravel, and it was not at all unusual for a bus to get into a mudhole. I had a ten mile afternoon paper route, and there were times when I had to get off my bicycle and push it because the clay had collected between the fender and the tire.
CShaveRRBeing down there to help isn't necessarily what's best, for anyone concerned.
Agreed. And I wouldn't just show up - I'd have to be invited or at least hear an indication that keeping up with the situation was going to be very difficult before offering. Son works a 24-on/24-off with little room for unplanned absences (somebody has to cover, usually involving overtime and being on duty for 72 hours straight).
DIL has a more forgiving schedule, but if it was to go on for any length of time, I'm sure they'd appreciate the relief.
For now, all seems to be well.
Good morning Americans, it's Tuesday. Currently, 29 degrees and SNOW in Carolina this morning. This is the first snow here in years, other than a few random flakes from time to time. We have about three inches at present, and still lightly coming down. This means the whole state will shut down for a while..... Thanks for breakfast, and everybody take care.
I'm here.....on this very bright morning. So much to do this morning. TV to check out of all the hoopla in Wash....Paper work in the office here.....Insurance papers to shuffle.....Neighbor even brought newspaper to the door, but haven't looked at it yet...and just now got on here. 12.6 degrees when I first looked this morning.....and slowly going up now. Overnight we must have had some moisture in the air as it was {is}, on the trees showing all white, etc.....But bright sunshine is beating on it now. Clear skies. No more snow.

Pneumonia's no fun--we had a daughter in the hospital for a month with pneumonia and another pleural infection (it required surgery to take care of).
Being down there to help isn't necessarily what's best, for anyone concerned. It's good to let the parents know that you would be willing to make the trip. But trust me, it's a little gut-wrenching to see a granddaughter who's usually lively and smiling, just feeling listless and miserable when she's awake--and too young to know why. Obviously, her parents have things under control.
Present and accounted for. Short week this week - I'm enjoying that!
Grandbaby apparently had a touch of pneumonia over the weekend and spent some time in the hospital. Gramp wishes he was a little closer so he could help out with such situations. He gets along just fine with both the baby and the pups.
Off to the projects at hand.....
cw thanks for breakfast.mookie there are 3 pumpkins with a coal train waiting to go to detroit edison on ns at our siding at work.Matt is on time today.Time for a nap.
Good Tuesday morning, everyone, and Cannonball, good to see you back in! Hope you and others soon find out what is causing your email troubles. It's definitely no fun, having computer problems of any kind.
Coffee, hot chocolate, hot cider, juices and hot water for tea are ready.
On the warmer bar this morning: bagels, bear claws, cantaloupe slices, turkey bacon, sausage links & patties, scrambled eggs, hash browns, homemade buttermilk biscuits w/ sausage gravy.
We have a temp of 13 degrees F this morning, and may see a few flurries this morning. Supposed to have a high in the mid 20s by 5 p.m.
Not sure how many people we'll have for Tuesday Produce today. Seems a lot of people left town to travel to DC on tour buses to watch the inauguaration in person. Guess we'll just have to wait and see how many people do manage to show up.
Everyone have a very good morning, take care, and stay warm.
Hello to diner folks ~~~~~~ ( tossin' hat in front door) been real heavy into workin' produce and haulin' groceries to the south side social center .Week end road runnin' takes a lot of time. Some times trying to keep a set of ( joints) trailers in line can be very interesting on wet or snowy roads. They tend to try to pass the cab at times. Still cant' send e mail yet, worm/ bug / or virus . No one seems to know what it is, or have big enough pliers to pull it out. The ( boys in black ties& white shirts) is rubbing their hands together waiting to drive black beetles here @ many bucks to fix. Hope to stopin more often . Respectfully, Cannonball
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
MookieSix more weeks of winter or 10 degree spring...
"Spring Forward" and don't fall back.........
Well, finally got down to where it's warmer, if one can call 30 degrees and snow in Georgia warmer.....
Truck ran continously from Thursday afternoon to Saturday night, Friday had about a dozen trucks running in our Weedsport, NY yard, in defiance of New York's no-idle law (which the state can take and shove into an interesting place sideways-best way I know of wording it and keeping it a family foroum)
Off and on snow showers here in Cartersville, makes for interesting watching as the four-wheelers slide all over the intestate.
Oh yeah, I see the place moved to new digs, nice decor!
See everyone later.....
