We did a little better here in the deep south (part of Wiscosin, that is) high of about 22 degrees. Not moving too fast as it is sitting at 19 right now. Randy, we are on the western edge of the storm track, so unless you are asking for snow 80 miles east would be better. Looking at the doppler radar, it seems possible that this high pressure cold mass starting to cover us all will keep the storm track to the east of us. Maybe Willy can check on this for us.
Meanwhile, there is a brand new two stage snow blower quietly waiting for its first mission. guess I better stock up on carbs just in case. I'll take a large serving of lasagna.

Temp dropped to 13, has held steady since I got up, high was supposed to be 30 (was 28 at midnight), forecast low is lower 20s. I think Ma Nature threw the weathermen a curveball again....
Lasagna sounds good, I'll take a plate for work, please....

I hope everyone in Oklahoma, Kansas, and Missouri are doing well in this winter storm they're getting. It makes me so darn mad knowing that it's missing Omaha by such a narrow margin. Hopefully our turn is coming up soon. It is cold enough here; the temperature is only 18 degree as I type.
I hope everyone has a good, warm rest of the week and weekend!

CW - warm up the microwave again - got cold chicken to put in there!
(Geez you go away for a few hours and they change the forum all over again!)

Pecan pie? Fantastic!!!
I'll reserve the lasagna with the Caesar salad and a large piece of pecan pie, please.
Sh-Sh-Sh- Shovel one order of Lasagna over here, please! (Cold here in the icebox)
Anyone seen or heard from Chris (CopCar) lately? Stuck in a snowdrift somewhere?
Well, since I've only received one request, our lunch
and supper menu will be lasagna w/your choice of garden or Caesar salad.
Desserts will be: chocolate cake, pecan pie, chocolate pie, apple, blackberry and
cherry pies.

We're enjoying what will likely be the last nice day for a while - 63 as I drove in to work this morning, with the scattered raindrop.
Snow in the forecast, but that will be nice for the 'Polar Express' runs this weekend, as long as it's not so much as to interfere.
I know there's a bearclaw there someplace - it'll be good with my tea.

some of each please.yeah suppossed to start as rain and then change to snow.eat and going to bed.another busy night at work.
^~^? Keep missing Randy! Drat! Will have to go back to hunting down Brian - I got him a couple of times!
Winter has arrived - no moisture, which is ok, but the north wind and temps - Hey Houston - want to visit now?
Eleven above - which is about normal. It will kill all the ugly bugs we have. MMM - freezer food! Warm up the microwave CW - one June Bug for breakfast!
Off to see if that light at the end of the tunnel really is a light or an approaching ACe....

If only all leftovers were this good! (Wait - this is the DD&CS - they are all this good!
Gotta take a look at "Polar Express" again before Saturday - I'll be running on the Adirondack's version for the next three weekends and figure I should be pretty familiar with it. Should be interesting. Most of the trips are sold out, about 400 people per trip. My daughter's former employers are taking their kids on the last day, as part of a group that was large enough to get a full car to themselves. I'm going to try to get that car that day.
At least they aren't serving the hot chocolate until they get back to the station...

Okay, everyone, the beef stew is warmed up, and ready to
dish up, and the cornbread is fresh out of the oven.
So, come on in, grab a seat and we'll start dishing up
the today's lunch.

thankful the kitty has returned and that jim and duchess are both okay!busy busy night at work again.just give me some breakfast and its time to go night night.
ps mookie some of those road turkeys were about here in ohio over the weekend.
C-O-F-F-E-E and a new puter!
My paws hurt from so much typing! Some one in higher authority planned a bowl game, a big 12 game, 3 mail campaigns (about 40-50K each) and numerous ways to get at me on line all at the same time. What is wrong with doing some of this in July?
Anyway - have a couple of comments from North Platte. Our garage still smells like cow manure; we saw an ES44 that some one had written (in the dirt) FORD on the fuel tank - my own private joke - An engine marked Cotton Belt - a thrill; UP #6344 in all gray with a red stripe; and lots and lots of SP engines. Watched them hump lots of cars and even a couple of engines that went "whee" down those same tracks.....
Stopped at Cabelas in Sidney on Black Friday - (I tried to tell him!) They had the whole western part of NE stuffed in that one little building. We made a lot of new intimate friends just trying to get from one aisle to another.
Weather was super! Had a Starbucks on the motel property that looked like a roundabout. They had window service as well as inside service - and they too had most of western NE in there.
Found out where the deer go during hunting season - they mingle with the cattle! Smart deer! Had to come back to work to find a possum in the parking lot, however! Saw 3 Archimedes Screws - working, too. Fascinating.
I was a little disappointed in the fact that the railroads want to upgrade their image with the population, but they offer little in places that people could sit and watch the railroad at work. We sat in a parking lot on one afternoon to watch the extensive traffic in and out of Bailey yard. We went to the visitors center which was a joke. Either you stand up on a platform and look through the trees or sit in your car if it is really cold and/or windy and look at the trees. Why put up an observation point and then plant trees all around it so you can't see anything from the ground? NP and UP are you listening?
We saw better railroad traffic from highway 30 driving in and out of the city.
But all-in-all if you want to see a lot of trains and don't mind that they are all UP - visit North Platte - or surrounding areas on Highway 30. Just don't get to gawking and run off the road.
Now for some much needed hammock time!

PS - saw no turkeys - except for the ones driving - and part of one on my plate Thursday! Hmmpfff!
A good, frosty cold morning to everyone out there! CW is not here yet, so I've gotten the coffee started and I've mixed a fresh batch of orange juice, and the hot chocolate is ready.
It's 13 degrees in Sioux Falls, and with the wind blowing out of the NW at 17 miles per hour, it actually feels like 3 below 0. I'll be working another shift as a bell ringer for the Salvation Army today and I am assembling some extra cold-weather gear. The temperature here will max out at about 16 degrees this afternoon. The air here is too dry for any snow to develop.
