Omaha sez we may get "snow grains" during the day. Another new word for my weather vocabulary.
Q - watched a good "Morning Joe" this morning. Left me with "Methinks thou hath lost thine own common sense...."
Maybe some of CW's coffee with help. Gonna need a lot of it!

Off to deal with the Cook County circus.
Good morning from Gillette, Wyoming. Yeah, I'm still out here and there is hardly any snow here at all. And it is supposed to warm up to about 36 degrees here this afternoon. Right now the the temp here is about 25, and in Sioux Falls, South Dakota we have 4 degrees above 0.And from where I am sitting, I will not complain.
The Gillette area here in Wyoming is kind of a baren wasteland, but I hope to get up into the Bighorn Mountains this weekend. I've got a neice who lives up in Sheridan and I will get to see her while I'm here.
I hope the rest of you will all have a very good day. Stay warm!
ooo ooo ooOOOoo
Mookie Q - watched a good "Morning Joe" this morning. Left me with "Methinks thou hath lost thine own common sense...."
Jen, I too was watching Morning Joe, yesterday as I do almost every morning, but right now...not recalling what had them fired up....Maybe I missed what you are referring to as I generally don't start watching to sometime in the 2nd hr.
Temp now in low 20's.....but with bright sunshine in blue sky. A respite from Winter snow for a few days.
Item: Morning paper had two photos locally here with volunteer fire dept. dousing a blazing fire shooting out the top of a NS engine on a train that was coming in to Muncie from the south....It said "a small fire in engine room" {paraphrasing}....Fire Co. was from a small community just south of us: Cowan.
Probably can be seen at MuncieStarPress.com

Good afternoon, everyone. We have nice sunshine, and are to get to 30 degrees today.
For our lunch/dinner menu:
Italian spaghetti w/garlic bread, tossed salad
For dessert, we have strawberry flavored Jell-O w/mixed fruit in it and the brownies left from last night.
I went back to bed and sleep this morning: man, was that a mistake: I woke up with a headache Although, it could be a sinus headache, since it is right in the middle of my forehead, just above the bridge of my nose.
Everyone enjoy your meal, afternoon, and take care.
On another thread, Mookie asked if she could ship some snow to the Pacific Northwest. It might be easier to ship some to the Wasatch Front (closer), and if it falls on the west slope, it will be received gladly. About seven this morning, we had a light coating of snow on the lawn, and it was still snowing. By ten, the grass was in full evidence again, and there was only a little snow left in the back yard. Perhaps the ski resorts received two or three inches. Southern Utah is ahead on its water year, but Northern Utah is behind.

Q - by the 2nd hour - the fun is all over. Today was just politics as usual with a good dose of common sense from a guest. I start with them about 5:15 and by 6:30, they have really calmed down. Me too!
DC this morning (courtesy of my son):
He didn't say, but I suspect they were out looking for hydrants. They don't have a fire dog at their station...
That's military housing.

.....That nice blue sky there in D C is very much how our's here in central Indiana....has looked today. 28 degrees right now.
MookieQ - by the 2nd hour - the fun is all over. Today was just politics as usual with a good dose of common sense from a guest.
Yes, I figured the earliest part is probably the best, and really, the back and forth political part is what I'd really like to see.....but, generally I get awake a bit after 7...{6, your time}, and by the time I get coffee, etc......it's about the half hour point of the 2nd hour....Still a bit lively at times.
I like the back and forth with Mica and Joe at times.....She even gets to pound on him a bit sometimes.......
"Snow grains" is recognized by the National Weather Service as being official terminology. Specifically, snow grains are "Precipitation consisting of white, opaque ice particles usually less than 1 mm in diameter" (NWS Glossary).

I've replenished the Italian spaghetti on the serving station, got more garlic bread baked, and also made more tossed salad for tonight.
And there's more brownies on the serving station for dessert, along with some mixed fruit flavored Jell-O. Or, if you prefer, you can have ice cream or whipped cream on your brownie (s).
Think I'll be heading over to facebook, and check on my farms.
Willy - they didn't arrive.
Quentin - You missed Willie Geist in Canada, shopping. He normally is sitting, but today they showed him standing talking to people. That young man must be close to 7 feet tall! He towers over everyone!
Tree - after your remark on the fire dog, it put that engine in a whole new light! Brought a smile to mah face!
While CW is farming, I am going brownie testing....

Jen.....Yes, I realize Willie is really tall....both he and Joe. But believe Willie is a bit taller than Joe. I agree, he is well into and upwards in the 6' measurement. Willie is very talented too....With a deadpan look on his face...I like him. I did see him some a bit later in the show today.....
Good Friday morning, everyone. We're starting the day out with a very cold 16 degrees this morning. Very clear skies. Our high today is supposed to be in the upper 20s, possibly reach 30. The wind chill will be in the single digits.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot water for tea are fresh aand ready to go.
On the serving station, all kinds of doughnuts, ranging from cake doughnuts, yeast doughnuts, the chocolate icing ones, the cream filled ones, vanilla filled ones, danish, muffins, bagels and bear claws.
Mookie, here's your coffee mug, and by the way, you don't have to wait for me to go to the farm, in order to get any brownies, or whatever. You know you have free access to this place!
Everyone have a good morning, keep safe, stay warm and take care.
CW - it is more fun to play hide and sneak....
I'll be in the 'fridge. It's warmer in there than it is outside here(exactly zero0, and it's after 9 AM.
Think I'll warm up my bearclaw on the grille today.
SNOW!!! Not yet, but on the way. At present, 35 and overcast in Carolina. The weather guess is for up to three inches in this part of the state. Such a thing rarely happens here and the natives are freaking out. Me, I'm easy with the idea and am taking things as they come. Thanks for breakfat, and everyone take care

7 degrees here early this morning.....Now much better, in the teens. Fog was so thick to about 300' visibility. That froze on everything like a Winter wonderland. Then with the fog lifted blue skies and bright sunshine. No wind.
Jen......Joe had to quiet the discussion down this morning by going to commercial....Did you catch that....Between Lawrence and the speech writer.....
Johnny, the wind will definitely go right through you! And I'm not looking forward to the next few days, either: between tomorrow night and Sunday, they're predicting another 1 to 2 inches, along with another 1 to 2 inches Monday night thru Tuesday.
Our Friday Fish Fry is not on the serving station:
Fish: Cod, Perch, Halibut, Haddock, Shrimp, Salmon patties, Flounder, Tilapia
Side Dishes: Cole slaw, Corn on the cob, Mac & cheese, Baked Beans, Fries, Hush puppies, Breaded Fried Mushrooms
Desserts: All the regular cobblers, cakes and pies and there's still brownies left, too.

Joe
Afternoon all.
Cool at 28* now. Fog was freezing this morning. I got the SLR out, and took some cool pictures. Might have them up later. I’m going tubing tomorrow at this place called Perfect North Slopes. I can’t wait!

Quentin ; isn't that pretty when the sun shines on the frosen fog ice crystals when the wind blows a bit ? Last time I saw that was in Yorktown in 1958. Cannonball

I.m getting ready for the Friday Night Euchre game. My team has won 4 straight weeks with two nights being a sweep! The losers say it is just luck!! Lots of snow here in Aledo.
Q - I missed that part. It wasn't very exciting up to that point, so I came upstairs and turned on the radio for talk radio. Lawrence O is very passionate and gets very excited at times. He's fun to watch. Will try the website and see if I can pick up on what I missed!
