Re-read Willy's posting and that is why I am thinking about becoming a snowbird. Problem is finding enough feathers for both of us.
Anyway - Merry Christmas to all. Enjoy the quiet time with family and friends.

.....As Christmas Day progresses here, we're being blessed with weather on the "warm side" of the massive Low system that's plaguing the middle of our country. 46 plus degrees now.....all snow {very little}, melted that we had, and just a few drops of rain at times with probably 10 -15 mph winds.
Quentin
About ten inches of snow here, but drifts as high as 4 or 5 feet. Still a couple more inches to come.
Merry Christmas! Everyone have a safe, blessed day.

Merry Christmas to all, and take the time today to remember those who can't be with their loved ones on this special day. For those that are travelling, be courteous and drive safe.
Peace on earth, goodwill towards men (and women!!)......

Merry Christmas Flat Wheel Cafe friends and fellow railroaders. Sun shining in the AZ mountains and will be in mid-forties after mid-day.
We will have Christmas dinner at the home of friends as we did last year. Several of us do this when we cannot be with our families. We were with our family at Thanksgiving but glad we chose not to drive to Lawrence-Topeka, KS for Christmas given the severe weather they have.
Merry Christmas from Alamo City!
Currently sunny and 36 degrees here.
Merry Christmas all!
Santa, in a way, brought me 3 lumps of coal. The Rebel XS’s body is in black, also is the 18-55mm and 75-300mm lenses in a coal black color. Nevertheless I couldn’t be happier. I’m Just glad that I get to spend today with family. Celebrating the birth of my Lord, and savior Jesus Christ.
Have a safe day all.

Good morning and Merry Christmas to the rest of you folks out there! It is still snowing here in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, and I was just looking out my front door, it looks like we already have 12 to 14 inches of snow on the ground here, and we could easily get another 12 inches by 12:00 noon tomorrow. It has been a long time since this area has seen a snow storm of this magnitude. I received a call from one of my sisters at 8:00 this morning, and because the roads here are so impassible, we have decided to wait until at least tomorrow afternoon for our annual Christmas party. I am snowbound here, but I consider that to be something of an adventure. Currently, our temp here is about 15 degrees above 0, the wind chill factor leaves us at about 3 above 0.
Ray ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
Merry Christmas everyone! It has taken me/the computer two and a half hours to get here. Not sure what the problem was, but oh well, it's Christmas, and I'm not going to get steamed about it today!
Joe, thank you very much for fixing breakfast. For here, I have the turkey in the oven, along with a nice ham, so you all have a choice of one or the other, or both. All the regular side dishes will also be available, including potato salad (to go with the ham) and garden salad. There's also banana croquets (bananas dipped in mayo and rolled in chopped nuts.
On the dessert menu today, it runs from sugar Christmas cookies, brownies, chocolate cake, yellow cake, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, mince pie, etc.
Although, I imagine it'll be very, very slow in here today, with all of you visiting with family and friends. For Walt and me, it'll be a very quiet day here at home, with us, the dog, and the two cats.
Larry, I'm very glad to hear that you made it to Maryland safe and sound.
And Jay, very pleased to see you in. It's been a long time. Hope in the coming year, you'll be able to drop in a little bit more often!!
Merry Christmas, everyone, and may you be blessed with every good wish imaginable, today and every day.
Merry Christmas morning.Rain has moved into NW ohio.Going to be a soggy trip to services this morning.Matthew told me that Santa found the cookies and milk.Santa brought him a CSX gp 38-2 and some cars so he can be the Y101.Juice coffee and cinnamon rolls are ready to go this morning.Going to go get ready for church.

Merry Christmas to forum participants and families.
I haven't been around for a while, but just wanted to wish all the regulars a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Oh yes, and for those of us who live "up north", a short and warm winter.

I am keeping my eyes on the storm system which has moved into my area in the last several hours. The Interstate highway, I-90 between Sioux Falls and Chamberlain has been shut down due to blowing and drifting snow. The area where I live could receive anywhere between 12 and 20 inches of snow between late tonight and mid-afternoon tomorrow.
Depending on what tomorrow's weather conditions will be, my family's annual Christmas party might be delayed until Saturday or Sunday. I went to my neighborhood grocery store yesterday afternoon and stocked up on soup, crackers, bananas, oranges, peanut butter, and a few odds n' ends, just in case I might find myself snowbound here tomorrow morning.
Merry Christmas to the rest of you folks out there!! Stay safe, & Stay warm!
After a long but uneventful drive I arrived in the land of snow - Maryland - to a hug from granddaughter, which makes it all worth it.
The little one is in bed, the toys that needed assembly are assembled, the gifts are under the tree, and all the "big kids" are headed for bed, too.
Merry Christmas to all, and to all, a good night!

I wish all of you a wonderful , blessed Christmas.

cherokee woman Evening all. Hope everyone has had a very good day. My doctor's appointment went well. The test results: a tiny bit of degeneration of my heart, but nothing to be concerned about just yet. And the carotid arteries show very little blockage, so I'm good to go there. Guess the Plavix I've been taking for the last two years is doing it's job!! Since I've not been in since this morning, I'll make it up to you all in the morning, by fixing up a big ole country breakfast for everyone, including Mookie's bagels and Larry's bear claws. And of course, you know I always have plenty of extras for anyone else who wants to partake of either one, or both, if you want. Everyone have a good evening, stay nice and warm, keep safe and take care. Houston Ed: Do you think you could post your railroad version of T'was the Night Before Christmas? I for one would absolutely love to read that again!! And if you can, then Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

Since no one gave me any ideas for lunch, how about this?
.....We're not too bad here weather wise.....Moderate temps...{Seasonal}, and overcast. Looks like just more as we've been having last few days.
Merry Christmas to all who visit in here......Enjoy and be safe.
Mookie I will order sun and 70 degrees.

Good CHRISTmas eve morning all. Hope it is a fun one!
CW, THX for breakfast. Hey has Joe been in here yet? I guess CSX is having a bad day already. Pray for them!
Have a good day!
Good Thursday Christmas Eve morning! Joe, thanks for setting things out for me! The coffee really tastes good this morning.
On the breakfast/warmer bar, you all will find: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage (pork, of course), scrambled eggs, fried country ham w/red-eye gravy, grits, oatmeal, sausage gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits and fried taters, hash browns and tater tots. Yes, I'm giving you lots of choices this morning.
Everyone west of us, please take care, and be very, very safe this long holiday weekend.
What would you all like to have for lunch and supper menus today? This is my holiday gift for you all: whatever you want to eat, let me know and I'll fix it up!
See you all after a little while.
good Christmas Eve morning
I see Cw has things premade for today so I will set them out.Coffee and juice are ready to go.Csx is not having a good day(see my other post).The best place to be is where we will be tonight.HOME.Mamma Matt and I wish everyone Merry Christmas.
I've gotta say, I'm really feelin' the love in here tonight!
But, there could be good news, for Mookie anyway. Latest computer model data takes this farther east than originally thought, which could mean much less snow for spots like Lincoln and Omaha. Not set in stone, but keep your fingers crossed, Mookie.
Good evening. Paula, I am glad your Dr visit went so well, and you are good to go. I wish you, and all of my friends a most joyous and safe Christmas and a happy and prosperous 2010. Just stay safe and sound for all of us.
