Dan, thanks for the furnace filter. We're going to have to get a case of them, so we have them on hand. With the pets, we figure we'll probably need to change/clean ours once a month.
We're still getting light rain, and have a temp of 43 degrees here at 12:19 p.m. Glad I went out yesterday afternoon, to the grocery. I'm not going out today. Just gonna stay here at home, and count my many blessings.
On the serving station, you all will find:
1. leftover spaghetti casserole w/Italian bread and garden salad
2. tuna melt hoagies w/your choice of fries, curly fries or chips and garden salad
3. burgers, cheese burgers, brats w/your choice of fries, curly fries or chips, along with garden salad or cole slaw.
Mudchicken, a snuggie is a fleece 'robe/blanket' that you put over yourself, and wrap the back around. Then, you can curl up on your sofa, in your chair and stay toasty warm. (Although, the one I got for Christmas, didn't quite keep me warm enough.) I probably need to find one of them in the kids' size, so it won't be dragging the floor, and/or tripping me. Larry and Brian, I bet you two would have the opposite problem, it not being long enough?
Everyone have a very good afternoon, keep safe, stay warm and take care. See you all after awhile.

I haven't tried one, so I don't know.

Indeed. They haven't failed me yet, but when the cat is miffed, you never know what will happen!
I think I can get you some sun on Tuesday Mookie, but you have to make it through the weekend first. No warmer temperatures though. Colder in fact.
Willy! I am debating even making it to the grocery store tomorrow, let alone the weekend!
AARGH - Hiding your thermostat. Must keep you from tinkering with it!
My miff-ter is frozen!
Good Friday morning, welcome and all aboard the FlatWheel Cafe/Diner! Mookie, want to come for a visit? I think we have room for another kitty around here.
Coffee, juices, hot beverages are all ready and waiting, on the serving station. Also, you will find a sampling of just about every flavor doughnut, danish and muffin on the serving station as well this morning. (There's also Larry's bear claws, and bagels, so there's a wide variety and selection for everyone this morning.)
We're starting out here in Louisville with a temp of 42 degrees, and no rain, at least in our area. But there is some patchy dense fog to contend with this morning. Supposed to get up to about 47 degrees.
Everyone have a good morning, enjoy your morning, breakfast and take care.
Three aces on my weather station right now: 11.1F. Weatherguessers got the sunny part, but they forgot the "and warm..."
Time for tea and a trip to town for an assortment of items.
hey Cw thanks for lunch today.Some schools were delayed or closed due to freezing rain.Matt was right on time.Mamma and I went to town and now she is grocery shopping.Somehow when I go with her there are some extra cookies and such placed in the basket.I get to stay home and take a nap.Chores to do when she gets back home.Matt gets his report card today as well.

Deshler Ohio-crossroads of the B&O Matt eats your fries.YUM! Clinton st viaduct undefeated against too tall trucks!!!(voted to be called the "Clinton St. can opener").
Ole man winter has made his presants known in no short terms.Many small towns are threatned by moving water here in the mtns. Our I-17 is closed in a few places to FLG because of snow or rocks the size of a small car. Verde hill is a 6% grade for 3mi. ( cheap thrill time ingood weather) . Here on our ridgeline we have 8in. in 2days.Every thing here is still in one piece. High winds did their work on some places here.A train was derailed around Dateland AZ. , both tracks E&W are blocked. More rain coming down now . ~~~ CW , glad to hear bout the furnace. Well all you folks at the Diner have any kind of day you want.
Respectfully, Cannonball
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
ATTA BOY Willy , keep up the good work . All that book learnin' is paying off
Cannonball lives about 30 miles from me but my elevation is perhaps 1000-1500 feet higher so more snow. But the temps have been in the thirties and Thursday we had rain falling on the accumulated snow. Light snow at this moment but not freezing (only in AZ).
The moisture is appreciated and the lower elevation dams will be filling as is the plan (which too frequently does not happen in this arid land). The heavy snow accumulation arourd Flagstaff and Williams will melt slowly and should renue the water in the dams later in the spring and summer.
Now I will clear my driveway, by hiring two young men at my door, so you all ahve a good day and I shall join you for lunch later.
Diningcar: They said it was snowing in Flagstaff the other day. All I could think was - so? I was there only once on my way to California and we had to stop and put chains on the tires to get thru the snow and ice. That was a scarier situation than any we had here in Nebraska!

Evening, all. Sorry about being MIA all afternoon. But, we've been busy getting things back in order, after getting the furnace in. The guys did have to come back out today, to put the furnace on a different breaker. They had to get one, so they came back today to put it in. That was right about the time I was getting ready to come in here, to post the afternoon/evening menu.
Since it's so late, guess we'll forgo our regular Friday Fish Fry. Instead, tonight you'll find on the serving station: burgers, brats, fries (regular, curly and cheese fries), along with garden salad.
Desserts tonight: cake (chocolate w/chocolate icing, pineapple upside down cake, brownies w/nuts and chocolate icing, and ice cream, if anyone wants it on your cake or brownie.
Cannonball, good to see you made it in, as well as dining car Jack.
We've been a little bit foggy around here weather-wise today, and will be foggy again tonight and in the morning. But we're supposed to be in the low to mid 50s tomorrow, with breezy conditions. Then really windy Sunday. In the extended forecast, they're saying we could see some heavy rain, thundershowers, turning to a mix of rain/snow Monday, with flurries next Tuesday.
Guess that's about all the news I can think of for tonight. Haven't been anywhere, so don't know a whole lot. Everyone enjoy your supper, have a good evening, keep safe, stay warm and take care. See you all in the morning.
Got my errands done today. One of the things I bought was a Wii. Still can't find the balance board (a crucial part of "Wii Fit) - apparently they are having trouble keeping up with the demand. But the console came with the sports package, so I've been playing some golf and even a little tennis.
'Bout time for the bedtime snack and bed. Got some projects on tap for tomorrow.
Note to self: An ice storm, a 45,000lb beer load, and the mountains of western Virginia are not a good combination.....
But anyway, made it out alive and am headed back toward Wisconsin, hopefully will stay out of the slick stuff for a while (and anyone who believes that will buy Tennessee beachfront property).
Was rummaging around in the DVD section of the Pilot in Dupont, PA (by Scranton) last night, and came across a collection of Dragnet TV shows. Being a fan of the Jack Webb series, bought it up and was watching them during downtime today. Gotta admit, 55 years later, they are still great shows (I also like his radio series, which ran concurrently with the TV series).
Mookie, when you get done puttin' a whoopin' on Willy, can you send him my way? I'd like to give him some "encouragement". Thanks.
See everyone later..... From Austinburg, OH

Steak and eggs are the order of breakfast today. Plenty of bacon, sausages, hash browns, and corned beef hash to go around. Juices and the usual beverages are ready. Have yet to see Willy's latest concoction up this way yet...supposed to be fun for the next 2 days. We'll see. Off to work to fill in. OT here I come.

Good Saturday morning, everyone, and Hello Dan! Thank you very much for fixing breakfast this morning. You did a very, very good job: steak, eggs, bacon, etc., sure does look and sound good this morning. I can't make up my mind what I want to eat, it all looks so good.
As far as the weather goes, I don't think we should really blame Willy alone. After all, he's just a student right now, and there are plenty of other, older, more expierienced meterologists out there for us all to put the blame on. Let's share the blame with the rest of them, o.k? (I know, he's probably the only one who participates on this forum.)
Today is supposed to be a fairly good day around here, with a temp in the mid to upper 50s. But we'll have to watch out for tomorrow, when the winds will be picking up, and we have rain/storms coming in tomorrow. Then, we're supposed to get a rain/snow mix coming in sometime Monday.
Everyone have a great day, and I'll see you all back in here for our pizza fest tonight.
But, CW, he is the only one that is close enough for me to "get to".....
40 here - rained a little overnite, but nothing much. Must be the annual January thaw.
Randy- I will e-mail him to you.....
Good morning. We have 26 degrees here in Sioux Falls and the wind chill places us at 20 F. And it is raining here.
Sarah called me late last night, and I sure enjoyed my visit with her. We spent approximately 80 minutes on the phone. I have a trac phone which I purchased from Walmart and now I need to buy some additional minutes and get them downloaded into my phone before I leave for Wyoming next month. Fortunately I have a bunch of coupons on hand that will save me some $.
I hope the rest of you are all having a good day, and stay warm!
ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
good morning
Matt had a blast with his cousins last night.They were looking tired when they had to go home.Dan thanks for breakfast.As for today we are working on inside chores.The weather guessers are saying rain tonight and sunday and highs in the 40's.Next thursday and Friday they have their eyes on the next storm.We have been lucky so far this winter dodging storms.We will take a pepperoni and mushroom pizza for later tonight.

Thank you CW! It's nice to see that someone can still be kind to the poor, harmless meteorologists of the world. We really are helpless in the face of such antagonism... RIGHT MOOKIE??
You know what they say: Don't kill the messenger, even if he does gloat about the message he brings, like I do.
We had more snow overnight in Prescott, AZ, Elevation 5500 +/- depending on if you are on the hills or downtown. Approximately 15-18 inches on the street in front of our home. Waiting for the plow which is operated by my friend so he may not fill my driveway as he passes. Temp. is moderate because of cloud cover but still waiting for shovelers to show up looking for work. I was going to give Ms dining car a new shovel for Christmas but better judgement prevailed and she is getting a trip to Paris instead. She and our youngest daughter leave on 2-6 from Seattle and will return on Valentines Day. I shall chase a few trains along the Transcon while they are gone assuming they get the snow cleared from I-40 and old Route 66.
Mookie, you do not want to be anywhere near Flagstaff right now as they have had more than three feet of snow with I-40 closed for the past two days. I think the BNSF Transcon is operating but not at its usual efficiency. Come in the summer and if you should be near Prescott I will buy the coffee, or whatever the occasion calls for
Sunshine and warm temperatures coming Sunday so melting will be occuring here and runoff in the creeks will cause some of the lessor roads to be closed.
Well, with all the weather reports I've read on here this morning, we seem to be doing rather well. 42 plus degrees now, heading into lower 50's as forecast for today. No rain or snow.
So....For January, it's really not been too severe here. Still quite a bit of time for it to behave badly though.....{Willy, you might put some snow fence up on the eastern Nebraska boarder}.
Looked around in Meijer's yesterday for some batteries for my new small Cannon Digital....Had studied on here what might be the better route to go with batteries and found what I wanted there. Less costly too, than what I was finding on the internet. Now have a package of the charger and 4 Ni-MH {AA} size. They are also the {LSD}, low self discharge, and 2100mAh.
Manual indicates alkaline battieries will work for about 170 shots and the above type should handle about 370 shots.....and they are capable of holding 85% charge for up to a year....So, believe I did ok.
Overcast today here and I have an internet connected AM stereo radio station over in Ligonier, Pa. playing while I work the computer....and the sun is shining there. I know their elevation is about roughly 1,200 to 1,300' and it sure can be nice there and not nice over the mountain in my "home area", east of there at 2,000' in elev. Just 19 mi to the east on rt. 30.
Willie - you are treading - old weather terminology - on thin ice....May have to send you in 2 e-mails to Randy.
Diningcar - let's see - I will add AZ to my list of places to visit in retirement. So far I have Illinois again, Kentucky, Ohio, New York, Colorado, Texas, Indiana, Kansas, & now Arizona. (wonder if I forgot any....)
Driver wants to know if you live near Goldwater Lake? He smiled when he said it, so I assume there is a private joke there somewhere.
Anyway - looks like this years income tax refund - If there is one - will go for puter for grandson. Since I am his "sitter" this summer, looks like I won't get to work on my list....
I suppose he would travel all right. He is 10 and the last outing we had together, we discussed expensive jewelry and gem stones. Must learn to keep mouth shut so he doesn't see gold inlays....
