We're showing a temp right now, outside, of 24 degrees. Even our sunshine isn't as bright as it was this morning. Guess our temps will start slowly dropping, now.
Here's our Sunday Dinner menu:
1. Turkey & dumplings (used turkey instead of chicken, this time)
2. Italian spaghetti w/garlic Texas toast or garlic bread, and garden salad
Think I'll head into the kitchen and stir up a batch of sugar cookies for dessert.
Well, The Forum finally decided to let me log in under my screen name; seems I've had a problem this week doing so; especially using Internet Explorer as the browser, I'm on FireFox now..just can't control the color or post any Similes.
Justin, Very Sorry to hear about the loss of Rex, I Know he meant a lot to You and your family.
Pets, even though they are family members in disguise, are some times our greatest friends, companions, listeners, etc., and it's very hard to bear the loss of one of them. You'll be able to look back in later years and remember the companionship and fun you had together.
Over the years, I've had several pets to die, or have to be put down due to illness; I think a little part of me went with each one of them.
Murray, Thanks for posting "Rainbow Bridge", seems CW had to dig that one out last year for another Forum Member. One can only hope that after they're gone and cross the "Rainbow Bridge", that they will be remembered by their old friends and companions.

Justin - I know exactly what you're going through. I didn't think putting my 16yo "pound puppy" down would affect me as much as it did.
It was a long drive back home today. That coastal storm that hit New England (where I was) followed me home, making for miserable visibility. The roads were pretty bad in New Hampshire and most of Vermont, but I though I'd gotten a break when I crossed Lake Champlain - not much snow and the roads were pretty clear. Then it closed in again and I fought it all the way home.
My eyes are the worst - the snow really flattens out the contrast, so you have to work to pick out stuff that would normally stand right out.

Thanks CW, if it's OK with everybody I think I'll stay here for a while and enjoy the dinner CW has put out for us all. I went over and got involved in the heated discussion about forum censorship but I think I'll take the 12F temps here in Chicago to that kind of heat any day (wow, did I say I'd take 12F...well, for a time anyhow). Thanks for letting me in!
Feel free to stay as long as you want. There's some stuff I'd like to say about the general state of the forums these days, but if I know what's good for me, I'll keep my mouf shut.

mmm mmm---know that one. When Audrey and I went out this morning to do our survival shopping we got stuck in white out conditions pretty much anywhere we went.
We got another 8" of the white stuff so we are now well buried in snow---we live in the NW side of London so we got a heaping helping of squall activity. The amount of snow we got is now just about 3.5' almost 4'.
And it is still snowing out there-----I gotta go back out and do more snowblowing again ----

Good Monday morning, all. Eolafan Jim, you are more than welcome in here, any and every time you want to come in!!
Larry, glad to know you made it home safely!
Coffee, juice, hot chocolate, hot water for tea are all ready. Regular breakfast items are on the warmer/serving station, so everyone can help themselves.
For those of you who remember him, I talked with JHHtrainsplanes (Jim Haguewood) on New Year's Day. He asked if several of you were still around, and I said you were. He said to tell everyone "Hello" for him.
Good Morning--
The snowsquall warning is still wit' us'uns. There is not a lot this time but if it does come down the way it is supposedly going to we'll see another foot by tomorrow morning----which'll give us a grand total of about 5' of the stuff-----here---anybody want some?
Doing the work from home thing this week---apparently there were "issues" that developed over the holidays that requires some electrical construction destruction there
You all have a good and warm day
Good mornin everybody. 19 and clear in Carolina, with a supposed high of 43. All this and the furnace is off line. Thank G-d we have a backup source, but it is not all that good. At east, we are not freezing.... Take care and have a great day

Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Have to be honest, I seldom ever pass through this topic, partly because reading about all that food and knowing that its only VIRTUAL food, makes me hungry, makes my mouth water, and I can't really pull up a chair and make a glutton of myself. Believe me, it's just as well, I daresay we can all say that.
Tree, your comments about your pound puppy caught my attention, though. My sympathies to you, our little pup turns 10 in a few days and she's really starting to show some aging signs. Still, she's healthy overall and we try to keep her that way.
....20 plus degrees here in central Indiana now, and with what must be a thin layer of overcast as it is very bright. No more snow....just a few cold dry, small flakes visible at times. 16 was our unofficial low here this morning.
So far....we've been treated to light snow only....no heavy accumulating stuff like so many on here are talking about. Since, 12-7-09, {the first this season}, we've had a total of 7.5" here.
But this is to be a cold week. Trivia: Have gained 13 min. of daylight in the evening since the low point.

Good afternoon. We currently have a temp of about 20 degrees, supposed to get up to 25. So, on that note, here is the menu for the rest of the day:
1. Freshly made chili (mild and medium, with the hot sauce, and hot picante and salsa to add if you prefer your chili "fire alarm 4 or 5")
2. Freshly made vegetable beef
3. Cream of broccoli
There's also freshly baked cornbread (two different: one is sweetened just a bit, and one is not sweetened at all) to go along with the soups
4. Burgers, cheeseburgers w/fries and your choice of slaw or garden salad
We have heat in the house, but it's not helping much, with these very bitter cold days, to do much good. You have to sit right in front of the heat to even feel any warmth. Maybe we'll all get lucky, and spring will definitely arrive EARLY!! brrrrrrrrrrr!

Goodness, I'd be happy to see the temperature get to 20 or 25 degrees. Our low temperature last night was 20 below zero and we haven't been above 10 degrees for three days now. Right now at noon it's still 4 below.
Yep, it's still cold outside......
14 in Burlington, will hit 19 today, if we're lucky, forecast is not to get above 21 rest of week. River went down some (had a flood warning all weekend), but still mostly froze over, will probably be like that till spring. Should be interesting starting semi tomorrow, hopefully boys in Richfield left my truck plugged in, and the sleeper heater going, or I will have a case of bottled ice when I get back. Suppose now would be a nice time to ask for a run to Texas or Georgia, and stay down south for a while.......
Have been puttering around with layout last few days, installing Kadee couplers on all my equipment that lacked them, and finishing the benchwork. Will probably wait until the next time I come home to start working on installing sound decoders in some more of my engines, need to get a few 4-axle engines ready to switch my paper mill, when it gets built.
See everyone later....

Well Randy they are calling for freeze warnings in Florida.My brother sent me an email saying,"close the &&&&&& door".Cw that soup sound perfect for supper tonight thank you.Matt should be coming home soon.Going to see what he has for homework.

We're waking up to a temp of 12 degrees this morning. I'm hoping no one shows up for Tuesday Produce this morning. It is too cold to be standing outside waiting for the gym to open up, putting names down on a list. (Plus, I'd love to go back and crawl under the covers, and go back to sleep!)
Coffee, juice, and other hot beverages are ready to go. On the warmer serving station, you'll find all the regular breakfast menu items.
Maybe I should put in a call for our forum members on facebook's Farmville and Farm Town to start bringing in some of their produce to the Cafe/Diner!
Everyone stay warm, if you can, and take care.
CW, it's about 39 degrees colder here in Sioux Falls. I got out of bed at 5:30 this morning and our temp here is about 14.5 degrees below 0. I'm going to spend the day here doing some serious house cleaning and do not plan to leave the house at all! We have another two to five inches of snow coming within the next couple days, but nothing like what we got just before Christmas. I hope the rest of you out there are staying warm!
ooo ooo ooOOOOOo
Good morning. 20 and clear in Carolina, staying cold all day. Gotta take the girls to the beauty parlor early, and whilst they are getting done, will hit the barbershop to gussy meself up. The wife slipped on some ice in town yesterday. She is sore and irritable, but otherwise ok. Everyone take care
A balmy 12.5 degrees here in the north woods, and it looks like that system up in Maine is still tickling us occasionally with a flurry.
Too cold to take the Dal for a walk today when I check the mail - his feet suffer in the salty slush on the roads and I'm not about to carry him. Seventy-five pounds is bad enough as a dead load. A squirming dog would be a bit much.
Off to the chores for the day.
Minus 9 again. I have cancelled all activities for today. Except for eating and watching the Orange Bowl tonight.
Well, I did not go out to Produce this morning. It's just too cotton-pickin' cold for me. Could have stayed in the house, and put the people's names down through the door, but didn't want that extra coldness coming into the house. Go ahead, and call me a wimp: today, I am one.
For our lunch today, I've warmed up chili, vegetable beef soup and cream of broccoli soup, and just took a fresh batch of cornbread out of the oven.
Next question is: do you all want our regular Tuesday Mexican Fiesta tonight, or do you want something different tonight? Whichever you all decide, just let me know, o,k?

Still cold here....but not as cold as some of you are reporting. Drove granddaughter back to Indy this morning...{40 mi. to our meeting place}, and the temp varied only 2 degrees in the total trip of going and coming back. 13 to 15 degrees, but the wind was blowing the white dry snow across the interstate making it felt against the car. That area would make a good place to install wind turbines to produce electricity. That section even has special bushes planted along the highway to help with the often nasty winds....
Cold to continue all week here....The Low is pumping that northern cold down around us as it's been doing now for almost a week.
afternoon
I hope that Iowa wins too.That can give the big 10 a winning record in bowl games for a change.Cw soup and sandwhiches are fine for us here in nw ohio.Cold and occasion flurries from the lakes.Mother nature is going to send more snow thurs/friday here.Going to help mamma with chores.matt will be home soon too.
Hello---
It's CCCOLD out there----oh and damp!! Our street got them ol' busted pipe blues again this morning--thank goodness it was on another circuit and not ours
We got another 6" of snow this morning --- and then we managed to spend a couple of hours getting freezing drizzle of all things!!----now we're just getting more snow again--
I had to pick up some more survival groceries as there is now talk of even more snow coming over the next coupla days-----When Spring coming?
Hello all, hope you are all doing well.
Had a good day at school today. Snow has begun to fall here. Could get up to 5 inches with this front.
Have a good evening.
Justin
