We got enough to cover everything, force me to scrape the windows in the morning, and that was it. When I woke up this afternoon, it had all disappeared. Temperatures are cooler than they were for January, but it's been a while since we were really in the deep freeze. No need to have a replay, though. I know about the winter blues--in fact, I was given a book that mentioned light therapy as a way to combat them. The real solution is to get out and exercise.

A few weeks back she was wearing red ones. [:)] Today's weather is rain. Then this afternoon changing into freezing rain and snow mix. Funny, the are saying the high today will be 41 but it is only 38 now. They are also saying up to an inch (of snow) on grassy area but not accumulating on the roads. It will drop down below freezing tonight, then the next two days are going to be cold. Brrrrr, maybe Mookie will lend me her earmuffs. [:D] Now for some humor, train humor at that. [:o)] Last week, on my normal day to be the sandman, I saw a NS engine that was meant to run long hood forward. [:0] It had the old conventional cab but was still set up to run long hood forward. As I pasted by the front door (actually the back door since it is a long hood forward operation) I noticed on the control stand it said, "Directional Horn" and had an arrow pointing to the back (would have been front if in normal operation). I thought, "Now isn't that funny!" As I was passing by the long hood section I saw the horn, a nice 5 chime one, with all 5 chimes pointed to the wrong direction. If the normal operation of the engine was long hood forward then a majority of the chimes should have pointed to the long hood and not to the cab. That just goes to show you, it doesn't take a genius to work for a railroad. [:0] [B)] [8] We never put a long hood forward loco in a lead position here. Our train crews will not accept it. But NS does run long hood forward if that is the loco in the lead position. Oh my, it is after 11 am already. I must make a run to the store. [:(] Everyone take care.

Just a bit of snow scattered around on the ground here now...So far this season, we've been pretty lucky on the snow bit. East coast and points west of there, this weekend will be seeing quite a bit of it according to weather forecasters here.....We will be receiving some cold from far north though for our weekend.

The timing couldn't have been worse, though- just before quitting time for most everyone. You can guess the results, especially after not seeing much precip of any kind in over a month. I've never heard the fire truck at the station near us leave the station with sirens wailing so many times in one night as I did last night. On the way home yesterday, we saw them attending to what appeared to be a pedestrian who had either slipped and fell or got hit while trying to cross a busy street in front of our company. Talk about a traffic snarl- between that and the icy conditions, it took us a good 15 minutes to go one block.
