Good Sunday morning everyone. Our current temp is about 28 degrees or so, and no snow at the present time. Have had a little bit overnight; supposed to start up again, probably around 9 a.m. Still calling for 1 to 3 inches for our immediate area. Temps will be dropping throughout the day.
Coffee, juice and other morning beverages are freshly made and ready to go. On the serving station this morning: cold pizza, bagels, bear claws, turkey bacon, sausage links/patties for those who can have the pork, scrambled eggs, toast, oatmeal.
Tom, hope everything goes well for you tomorrow! Will be praying and thinking of you.
Everyone have a safe trip to Church, work, or whatever you have to do this morning. Please take care, and Brian, heard on the news this morning, of the white out conditions in Iowa. How are you and Joanie doing this morning?

Gonna try to stay in front of this mess as long as I can.......
Sitting in Kingsville, OH, waiting for 0930CST when I can roll again, headed for Rochester, NY for tomorrow morning. Is 36 with light rain out, forecast predicts rain all day, then the lake effect snow starts up until Wednesday. Gonna be a fun week, especially if freight stays as bad as it has been this past week......
Thanks all for the birthday wishes, am now 31, and found out last night while listening to the old time radio channel that I share a birthday with Frank Sinatra. Eight more years, and I can start pulling the Jack Benny '39' routine.......
CW: thinking it's a soup and chili day today, and yes, you got the pies right. I'll have to grab a piece when I stop in Pembroke, NY, later.....

Dark and overcast, and 26 degrees.....The terrible nasty stuff is going above us, but we're going to see some "wraparound" from it as the Low moves northeast.
Now, expecting several inches as per the latest forecast.
Colder temps on the way too, but the unfortunate folks north of us are really getting it.

Our church in Joy is open today, but roads between Aledo & Joy are dangerous. We are staying home & keeping warm. My bird-feeders were clogged up with the freezing rain. OK now. I see lots of Juncos today.
back home from church and sunday school.mother nature flipped a switch and we now have snow.we took off about 2 inches of wet snow off the driveway.Randy have a safe trip out there.going to go help mom with chores and watch some football.
Randy - you can always do anniversaries - like the second anniversary of turning 29....
Rain this morning, including some freezing. Got 2/3 inch of rain so far, but the temps are now up in the low 40's, so things aren't as bad as they could be.
Fire Department breakfast this AM went pretty well - perhaps even better than expected. We ran out of eggs.
Now it's off to other projects! (Or maybe a nap.)

Randy, your request is granted:
1. Vegetable beef soup w/cornbread or crackers
2. Chili (mild today, with the 'hot stuff' on the side, for anyone who wants their chili hotter, at least spice wise)
The first round of pies are also on the serving station. (And if anyone wants ala mode today, there's plenty of different flavors of ice cream in the freezer.)
We currently have 25 degrees, with light snow falling, and winds are from the WNW. Still under the Weather Advisory until 1 p.m. tomorrow.
Everyone take care, have a good afternoon, and stay inside, if you can, where you can keep warm.

The thermometer here got up into the fifties today, with no rain. It may be that I will be able to finish mulching my maple leaves this week, and I will put the lawn mower where the snow thrower is, and put the snow thrower where the lawn mower is and then will be able to get it out when we have enough snow for it to throw (and we may not have another such snow this winter).
Happy birthday, Randy!
Good Monday morning everyone. And Happy Bithday wishes going out to bubbajustin and to Deggesty (Johnny) this morning! Hope you both have a very good day today, and wish you both many, many happy returns for today!
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot water for tea are ready to go. On the serving station this morning: turkey bacon, scrambled eggs and pancakes, along with Mookie's bagels and Larry's bear claws.
Our current temp is 19 degrees, but feels like about -5 degrees outside. Depending on where you live in our area, snow accumulations range from the projected 1 to 3 inches. Winds have been gusting up to 31 mph. (that's the last I heard).
Everyone have a very good day, stay inside and keep warm if you can, and take care. And let us all remember Tom in our thoughts today.
Hmm, is everyone frozen in place this morning?
Anyway, hopefully some of you will be in here, so here goes on the menu for the rest of the day:
Roast, taters, carrots, green beans, corn, your choice of salad or slaw, and your choice of fresh baked made from scratch buttermilk biscuits and beef gravy.
Desserts: There's a nice, big chocolate cake (non fork lift size, though), wishing Johnny and Justin A Happy Birthday.
We have a current temp of 19 degrees, with a wind chill of 6 or 9 degrees. (I can't remember exactly which # it is.)
Everyone enjoy the meal, have a good afternoon, keep safe, warm and take care.
Well, it's a Cold Day here in Lou., Ky. Hope All are staying Warm.
Happy Belated Birthday to Randy, and Happy Today Birthday to Johnny & Justin!!!!

afternoon
the freezer is open here in nw ohio.matt and I helped neighboors dig out.Matt and alot of school kids were able to stay home today.Have chores to do then its time to get ready for work. to Johhny and Justin.
Forty-five degrees and an inch of rain yesterday, eleven right now with a 15 MPH wind. At least the lake effect is pretty much staying south of me. I did take an inch of snow off the driveway earlier today, but it's not snowing here right now.
The wind chill will certainly get below zero tonight. Think I'll keep the long johns ready in case we have a call.
Time for bed. More projects for tomorrow - including finishing up my Christmas cards.
Thanks for the birthday greetings. I don't really feel any older at the three-quarter century mark than I did a few years ago, but I have slowed a little bit. I do feel much better than I did at 71, for I was then beginning to recover from chemotherapy, which had sapped my strength (it did return some color to my hair and beard).
Paula, thanks for the roast and chocolate cake. Justin, I hope you enjoyed the day and the meal, and Mookie did not get your part of the cake.
Tom, I trust all went well with you today, and you are recovering.
As to the events of the day, it was quite different from any other, since Ricki had another ministroke last Thursday, and I took her over to a hospital that afternoon. Saturday, she seemed to be doing well, but just before all was in order to bring her home, she suffered in a way such that no one who has looked at the pictures can really tell what took place; one set shows one thing and another set says "'Tain't so." Tomorrow, she will be moved to a rehabilitation place so she can get the help necessary to be able to help me help her (I hope that makes sense). I did finish mulching the leaves in the backyard and move the snow thrower to where it can be brought out of the toolshed without having to move anything else. Both Ricki's daughters have been giving support, coming to the hospital when they can.
From the thirties to the fifties today, with no precipitation expected before Thursday. Maybe we won't have sufficient snow to warrant power snow throwing (last winter, the only such snow came right after I had come home from my last major surgery, and a neighbor cleared the driveway for us).
Good Tuesday morning, everyone. Johnny, glad to hear from you. I'm sorry to hear about Ricki. Will be keeping you both in my thoughts and prayers.
We have, this morning, a very cold 8 degrees above zero temp this morning, with a wind chill -1 category. brrrrrrrrrr! High today? Possibly around 20, 21 degrees?
Coffee, juice, hot chocolate, hot cider and hot water for tea are ready to go. On the serving station this morning: oatmeal, toast, scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, sausage, biscuits & gravy for those who can have them; along with some bagels and bear claws.
Everyone enjoy, have a good, warm morning and take care. You all check in, and let us know what your temps/weather is like this morning.
morning
matts on a 2 hr delay.weather outside?brrrrrr time for bed .chores this afternoon.
joe
~~~ Here in the mtns. it is in the high 70s. and sunny for this week so far. This is good for the utility bill ( ours). Snowbirds en masse are flocking here. A good thing when you got that new heating plant this past summer to avoid the rush and delay when you needed it. Hope you all are warm and dry.

Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Good day, everyone. We had rain all night, and now the skies are clear with a temperature of 37F (3C).
Is this the first day of Christmas, making the 25th the 12th day?Anyone know how that works?
Johnny; the best ofgood wishes to you and Ricci for the return of good health. Any illness seems all the worse at this time of year because of the Xmas. season. Prayers will be said for you and Tom at Wed.prayers at church.
Cannonball
The first day of Christmas is December 25th- Christmas day. The 12th day is January 6th. It's still *technically* autumn until December 21st. So, *technically* we've already had out first autumn blizzard. -Norris
Thanks to Chris / CopCarSS for my avatar.
Afternoon, folks. Current temp here is 15 degrees F. Partly cloudy, but sun is shining. Still colder than a well digger's behind.
I've got lunch on the serving station: open face roast beef sandwiches w/green beans, mashed taters & gravy, hot biscuits from the oven and hot dinner rolls, so you have your pick of bread.
Kind of down in the dumps right now. We received a phone call just over an hour ago, saying our dear neighbor, who we called Aunt Sarah has passed away. She's the one who has had Alzheimer's the past couple of years, and was 94 years young. I've been expecting it, but it still hits you in the stomach like a concrete block. She had just returned home the other day, after having had a light heart attack.
cw our condolances to you .Chores are done.going to get matt from his afterschool program.going to be a low of 7 tonight here.Brrrrrrrr.hot soup will work great for supper.
Never got above 16F today. In fact, the high (according to my home weather station) was 15.9F...
The minimum wind chill overnight was -12.2F. Brr. We're getting the occasional flurry, but the lake effect is staying south of us.
CW - I got word the other day that a former sheriff's deputy with whom I had worked after he retired from that position died last Saturday evening of a heart attack. He was only 52. It does rather kick one in the gut.
Johnny - Here's hoping for the best for Ricki. Modern medicine has ways of dealing with such conditions now that didn't exist not so many years ago.
Got the truck serviced, a couple of form letters done for others (I seem to be one of the few around who can manage to do a mail merge). Now it's time for supper and another meeting...
