The bad news is that the odds of winning are about the same of the odds of Elvis showing up at your door with a 14 piece band to do a three hour concert of old favorites in your living room. The winner will probably be rich beyond the wildest dreams. The winner will also have to live out life behind secure walls and fences and be forever accompanied by an armed security force.

Wouldn't mind some snow, but it'll depend on what track that storm takes. Our "heavier snowfall areas" got a good wallop this week. I've got maybe 6-7 inches in the yard. The snowmobilers would love to see more - their trails are mostly bare. Which reminds me. A certain young lady is at this moment one post short of (Four Stars)... And on horns - I know I've seen many 5 chime horns with 3 facing one way and two facing the other. Anything good hiding in the cooler? I feel a bedtime snack coming on...

We don't have any snow here this morning. But they say that could change a little bit tomorrow. If we didn't have a snow shovel, and ice melt, we'd probably have a foot of the stuff! Tina, always have brownies on hand, as well as anything else chocolate! Make sure I keep plenty of things made with chocolate on hand! Breakfast this morning: turkey bacon, sausage links & patties (even have some hot sausage patties on hand; also have sausage gravy & biscuits, grits, and cream of wheat. Grab a cup of nice, hot coffee, and a glass of OJ, and I'll whip up your breakfast. Yes, just like Joe, we pray for all our Americans in those strange named places, to come back safely home to their loved ones. cherokee woman "O'Toole's law: Murphy was an optimist." Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, February 11, 2006 7:24 AM Thanks for the brownies. Prayer is a good thing. Oh, I had to see where Joe was from and how far it was from Bellefontaine. Well, now my curiosity is aroused as my dad was from Bellefontaine, my granddad worked for a railroad there, and my uncle worked in Lima, not for the locomotive works, but for an oil refinery. The archives were limited, though I did email someone who's family is also from Bellefontaine. Can anyone reference some interesting reading on the area as it refers to trains? Imagine, over 200 boxes of books on trains and western U.S. History and I have no clue if there is a single book on Bellefontaine.

My parents at one time had a lot there (they may still have it, don't know). Very pretty country around there- my wife's mother used to live in Ozark, and we'd pass through there on the way down to visit her. Looks like we're going to have a chilly day today, but they're promising tomorrow will get better. Well, we've got some errands to run, so will check in later!

The Co. I worked for all my adult life closed down for about 5 days...a first in decades, and decades....People just could not move....I live about 5 miles west of the center of Muncie and we were stranded here for 5 days....but our luck held as this area did not loose power and we here are total electric....And we really did have wind to go along with record snow fall and severe cold...Really was a nasty and dangerous few days.... Tree.....What is the elevation at your 20....I see you post much snow fall and pretty severe temps. quite often....Seems you are not getting the advantage of the "mild" winter in your area....Understand possibly you may be in an area of "lake effect" snow fall.....We got a skiff of the stuff over night but we're above freezing and the hard surfaces, road , etc....are bare....It's above freezing here now...about 35 plus or so, haven't looked at the indoor readout for about an hour now.....We're getting flurries at times but they are butting up against the "warm" temps.... Quentin Anonymous Member sinceApril 2003 305,205 posts Posted by Anonymous on Saturday, February 11, 2006 10:43 AM Mornin' All Well we had 3 hours of a blizzard yesterday with flakes the size of half-dollars. [:0] I have never seen snowflakes so hugh before. Funny, all the while it was snowing the air temp was over freezing. It stuck to grass and vehicles but not the roads. Today I still have some in my yard but now it is more ice than snow. I heard that south of Little Rock that had an accumulation of around 2 inches. Another funny thing about this blizzard is the fact that the weather people actually got the forecast backward. They were predicting that northwest and northeast Arkansas would get the accumulation while we here would possible get some then south of us they were to have only rain. Turn out south of us got the accumulation and north not much at all. [:o)] The sun is out today but the temps are in the mid 30s. We also have a very chilly wind. [B)] [8] [V] On the weekend I am in a service truck so I will be wearing the longhandles tonight and tomorrow night. [;)] [:D] Well, Duchess wants to go for a walk and also some attention so off I go. Everyone take care. Edit CShaveRR Member sinceJune 2001 From: Lombard (west of Chicago), Illinois 13,681 posts Posted by CShaveRR on Saturday, February 11, 2006 12:18 PM Tina, I remember a Trains article on Bellefontaine from the early or mid-Sixties that had a kind of "then-and-now" ring to it. (I had to do the navigating when my dad and I took a trip from Michigan to near Zanesville, and managed to put the town on the route after being inspired by the article.) Of course, the town has slid a lot further in the past forty years or so. We're supposed to get some snow today, courtesy of the huge snow-making machine about 20 miles east of here. I think that there will be a lot more in the city, and we'll get only a dusting. I felt it in the air when I was out doing the shopping this morning.

We're still "SUPPOSED TO get some of that "stuff", but for right now,it's seems to be staying sort of south of us. ( It Can STAY There !!!!) Last time I checked temps.,it's around 40 degrees F,don't think it's supposed to change much right now. In 1978,our place of business was closed for three days, the day they reopned,I had to call in;saying I was still "snowed-in".
