Snow keeps filtering down here, but nothing significant. On the way home from a meeting tonight, however, I encountered one small section of road with drifting 4-6" deep. Given the nature of drifted snow (rather like sand), and the wheel tracks all willy-nilly in the snow, I gave the town highway super a call. As I was walking the dog a short while later a town plow came by and headed in that direction.
Better they get called out than me, after someone puts their vehicle on its top there...
Gotta go over an SOP for the fire department, then maybe some WII, then bed.

Snowing and mixing with ice here.
Warning Diningcar here that I'll be invading the far SE corner of his state soon.
mmphffff..........good supper.....
3-5 more snow starting tonite. So everyone east of Denver - here we go again. NE is dumping ash on the Platte River to break up the ice so it keeps moving. Wonder if I can get an old Dash 9 from our diesel shop to blow some of their smoke into the clouds - would it stop the snow and make it move over to Brian (IA)? (Don't tell him....)
Joe - it is Friday nite. I am done short people watching until Monday. A 3 day weekend!

Long term?
Some of ours has been lying around since Dec. 8...
From the same storm that gave Omaha about 14 inches. Tomorrow, our official observing station will break the record for the greatest number of consecutive days with an inch or more of snow on the ground. It's been quite the winter! And we're going to get 2 to 4 more inches tomorrow, just in time for my drive to school.

Glad to hear you made it home safely, mudchicken!
Our official high got to 37 degrees today, but our outdoor thermometer showed 42 degrees this afternoon, around 3, 4 p.m. Most of our snow is gone from the front yard; just a couple of patches left, one being in the front flower bed, where the shoveled snow from the sidewalk went.
Everything has been refreshed on the serving station. Including plenty of hot cider for you, mudchicken!
Now, I think I'm going to fix myself a plate. Getting very hungry.
Got home just in time to watch it dump snow in big heavy, wet flakes. (Which will cover our November snow that has been hiding in the shadows) Willy gets off the hook - this time. Lurch got a bath and an oil change this morning....I should have known. I get to trade that Illinois and Nebraska salt for Colorado IceSlicer chemical on Lurch's paint job.
Time to go raid the hot cider supply.
Olympic snow-shovelling anybody?
Afternoon all.
School went well. Got into a bit of trouble for being in the wrong place, and the wrong time. Just have to say sorry to a teacher that’s all. Needless to say I won’t be around those kids any longer.
Were sitting pretty at 35*F right now. Look for more snow this weekend. I know one thing Brian, us here in western Indiana can’t wait to get this snow off the ground. It is turning BLACK! I can’t imagine the way you poor folks are feeling!
CW, I’m watching the snowboarding after I check the forums. Watched the speed skating last night. Glad to see the Grand Old US of A is # 1 in gold medals!

Heh... if it weren't for bad luck, we'd have no luck at all!
We've got the sun on our side at least, now if we could just get rid of this arctic air mass that's camped over us, we might actually start seeing some bare ground around here!

.....Yes, we have almost 40 degrees this afternoon....! Overcast most of the day with just a bit of sunshine earlier. But the good news is, it's actually melting this long term snow that's been on the ground since Feb. 6th.

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").
Walt and I did that awhile back: rented a dumpster, and loaded it twice with a whole bunch of unwanted junk. If we wanted to, we could probably rent one again, but don't think we have that much left to get rid of now.
For the afternoon, and tonight, here's what we have on the serving station:
1. Leftover Chinese from last night: the won ton soup, and sweet & sour pork
2. Your choice of burgers or cheeseburgers, w/your choice of fries or onion rings, tossed salad
3. Spaghetti & meat balls w/tossed salad and garlic bread
Our current temp is already in the middle 30s, with plenty of bright sunshine, and just a tad bit of a breeze out. Maybe we can get rid of some of this snow, before the rain/snow mix comes in tomorrow night/Saturday morning.
Everyone have a good afternoon ,and take care.
grampaw pettiboneHonestly, a dumpster would not be out of order for the place
cherokee womanAre any of you watching any of the Olympics? I have to admit, I've not watched much of it, just bits and pieces here and there.
Good morning, Paula. 28 deg and clear a half hour before sunrise. I woke up early and have been killing time on the computer, waiting for nap time..... I am not one for the Olympics. Never had much of an intererst in them, but even if I did have, our TV can't be got too. Larry thinks he's got a mess, but when the wife's shop went under, all the stock landed right here. Honestly, a dumpster would not be out of order for the place. If we had to get out in a hurry while it's dark, likely something would get scraped or stumped!
Thanks for breakfast, and have a great day

Good Thursday morning, everyone. I hope you alll had a very nice evening. Are any of you watching any of the Olympics? I have to admit, I've not watched much of it, just bits and pieces here and there.
We are starting out this morning with a nice 25, 26 degrees, and our high today will be about 10 degrees higher, at around 35, 36 degrees.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are all fresh and ready to go. And on the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage links and patties, scrambled eggs, biscuits & gravy, oatmeal, toast, blueberries,pancakes.
You all have a good morning, keep warm, safe and take care.
Sorry Cw - short person running around here distracted me. Yes - I want the whole enchilada.....umm- maybe that isn't the right terminology...??
Yum.
And fortune cookie so I know what to expect, just never when....
Thanx!
Mook
Mookie Fried Rice, Lo Mein, Chow Mein, Sweet & Sour Pork. Pot Stickers, Crab Rangoon, Won Ton Soup? I can get all that?

Mookie, the suggestions you made are 'right on track' for tonight. That is what you all will find on the warmer bar. And, how about fortune cookies for dessert? I believe you might find that on the serving station, also. Do you want plain fried rice, or do you want with beef, pork, shrimp, chicken are which of the above?
And, if anyone doesn't want Chinese, or care for it, there is a selection of spaghetti casserole, w/sides, open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters, gravy, etc., of which you can partake.
Decided to clean off the desk part of the roll-top desk. It's been little more than a catchall. I'm having no problem filling up the trash container when I embark on these quests...
Found a bunch of pictures, too. Not too many of trains, though.
Cleaned out one drawer. The rest can wait.
Not one for Chinese food, so I'll just hit the a la carte line...
Interesting day today.We had snizzle this afternoon outside when I got the mail.Matt had a good day at school today.Local paper says city has gotten a grant to study lowering the pavement of the clinton st viaduct.There was also an editorial comment in the paper as well already.We will see what happens.Cw thanks for supper.Be sure you and Walt have proper support for the ceiling fan before installing.They showed a video of what could happen at the local home store.matt said hey dad watch this.
You've got that right, Quinton! We currently have a temp of 31.8 degrees on our outdoor thermometer, with some moderate sunshine. Supposed to be very mild tomorrow, and calm.
For lunch today, there's some chili (mild and medium) left from last night, and I've also fixed some open-face roast beef sandwiches w/mashed taters, gravy, beans, corn and tossed salad.
Well, the electrician finally got out, and we now have a working ceiling light in our bedroom. But there's a part for the fan that has rotted away. So in the spring, before we can turn on the ceiling fan, we'll have to take that one down, and put up a new one. (Glad we happen to have one on hand, never been out of the box!!)
Everyone have a good afternoon, and take care of yourselves. And do I have any requests for supper tonight? (I was kind of leaning towards Chinese for tonight, but want your all's input, please. Whatever you all want, is what I'll fix.
......Something different...., It's not snowing. Very bright and off and on sunshine. Temp has actually risen to the 30's....! Wow...haven't seen that for a while.
Good morning. 37 and bright sunshine in Carolina. Not a whole lot to report today. Everybody stay safe and warm
bidzy, bidzy, bidzy......
Good Wednesday morning, everyone. I hope you all had a very enjoyable evening. And, I hope you all have a very good day today.
Coffee, juices, and the other assorted morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. There's even some strawberry milk this morning, along with chocolate milk.
On the serving station this morning: bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, pork sausage, scrambled eggs, hash brown taters, buttermilk biscuits w/sausage gravy.
Mookie, here's your coffee mug, ready to go.
Everyone have a good morning, enjoy and take care.
Evening, all. Everything has been replaced on the serving station: soup, cornbread, chilis and sandwiches.
For dessert tonight, you have: yellow cake w/chocolate icing, chocolate fudge brownies w/English walnuts chopped up in them, w/your choice of whipped cream or ice cream to go with the brownies or cake.
Bob, in order for me to get dentures, I'm going to have to have some serious work done on my mouth. My upper gum is deteriotating, so that would have to be built back up, along with whatever else the dentist would need to do. So, I'm gonna have to save up for that. A friend of mine just had that done, and it is costing her close to $2,000.00,plus, even with her health insurance.
Everyone have a good evening, stay warm, keep safe and take care.
