Joe, where is all this mystery weather starting? We have clear, sunny and 48 and nothing around us.
Bruce - trust no one named Chinook or Clipper! They both mean trouble!
CW - there should be a bowl game out there somewhere, yet this year. Should be televised nationally.
Went out around lunch - parked in the sun - and watched a couple of coal trains, a freight train and one ethanol train - ah..... peace and quiet and .......warm!

Mookie: Now wait a minute. That is the name of our Siberian Husky. And he does run like a Chinook wind. We trust him very much.
As long as he only runs like the wind......
Good Tuesday morning everyone. Temp in the mid 40s, but the rain has left us for now. Supposed to be back in after awhile. Then, later this afternoon or evening, is when the snow is to come in. Streets are "warm", so there won't be any accumulation them, only the grassy areas. That is my kind of snow. But I always remember the Easter in 1971, when the day before, we had temps in the 60s or 70s, and woke up Easter morning to about 6 inches of snow. There was no going to Easter Sunrise services. My nieces and nephews had to have their Easter Egg hunt in the house. So you never know what Mother Nature will bring us, any time of the year.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the warmer/serving bar this morning: bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, toast, oatmeal
Everyone have a good morning, take care, and I'll see you all this afternoon, after I get through with Tuesday Produce.
Bacon, eggs and white toast. A wonderful way to start a Tuesday.
Produce went well this morning. We had 54 people. We got: carrots, apples, lettuce, potatoes, sweet potatoes, little half pint cartons of milk, and I can't remember what else we had. Pastry/Bread truck broke down somewhere, so we didn't get anything from that truck this morning.
Don't think we've had any rain since the wee hours this morning. But it is very cool and breezy. The snow is supposed to be headed this way, so guess late on, I'll be seeing flurries/whatever, whenever I look out the window.
The menu for the rest of the day: Mexican Fiesta.
1. Tacos
2. Burritos
3. Spanish Rice
4. Chimichangas
5. Fajitas
Hope you are all enjoying your afternoon, and keeping comfortable and safe. Take care, all of you, and I'll see you all later.

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").
Peace be with you. Your rain got to us yesterday with quite a downpour, but almost nothing officially. Right now, 52 and overcast. It is supposedly cooling down to freezing at night over the next few days.
I have been spending some time on the wireless lately. Contacts have ranged from Swaziland in Africa to Niue in the So Pacific It helps keep my mind occupied, I guess. Been at it for 47 years now and eventually will do it right.
Everyone stay warm and safe

....It is not very nice outside now. The rain and temp have changed. Down from about 40 degrees and rain over to very wet snow, and now 34 degrees.
Sounds like 2 to 3" of snow here possible, but just 60 mi. northwest of us they are talking about up to 8" of the stuff. The beauty of tomorrow will be it's to be full of sunshine. And the ground probably is really not cold enought to allow the snow to survive very long.
But, right now it's nasty. Went out for lunch, and a long stop at Meijer's, and that much time allowed it to be raining, and then almost a white out {but very wet}, as we came back home. No sand bags in the back of the little truck yet, but they certainly are available in the garage. Probably about time to put them in for the season. Did put my fur hat in and ice brush / scraper that also go in this time of the year for the season duration. Keep a coat there, this season too.
Do have the automobile that is AWD, but prefer to keep it there {in the garage}, this kind of weather.
Burr....Hate to think of all this just beginning.

The official weather forecast for the diner is....blah! Everything east of Illinois is hiding. Can't find big chunks of the Ohio Valley. And Tree is literally hiding - in the green.
Future - well, I talked the Driver into going out for a little while tomorrow. They are saying 50's, but then it goes right straight down from there. 30's and maybe moisture thru next Monday. So.... if you are enjoying all your miserable weather right now - good news! There will be more to come from the true midwest. (not too sure just where you got your mess now, but suspect it might be from down Texas way. )
Seasonal greetings, I guess.....
MookieAnd Tree is literally hiding - in the green.
Yep - it's been mostly miserable all day, and it looks like that rain is going to 'train' right over us for a while. At least it's reasonably warm (41F as I write this) which rules out snow for the moment.
One thing that makes weather "miserable" to me is cold (41F is still cold), wet, and windy, and right now we've got all three. Fortunately I've got more than enough to keep me busy inside.
Headed for the railroad on Friday for another round of Polar Express trips.

Good Wednesday morning everyone. 35 degrees here in Louisville, and windy, still. Only been up about 40 minutes, so running a tad bit behind this morning. Coffee is on, and just about ready, and have bacon & sausage frying, getting ready to scramble some eggs, pop the toast in the toaster, and putting biscuits in the oven. Literally "running around like a chicken with its head cut off" this a.m.
Our high today is to only be in the mid 40s, probably around 44 degrees. Mookie, I sure don't like all this rain we've been getting, but at least it hasn't been s n o w. Definitely not ready for snow and ice and bitter cold temps. But I guess it is time to face facts: winter is coming, whether we like it or not., right?
What would you all like to eat today? Going to take requests today. Everyone take care, have a good morning, and see you all later.

nw ohio is an ice rink right now.understand some areas of indiana got 10" of snow.Matt is delayed 2 hrs.work work work work.time for a nap.Cw some vegtable soup or ham and beans and cornbread would be great for supper.
joe
Peace be with you. 35 and overcast in Carolina right now. Only supposed to get up to the mid 50s today and down to 31 tonight. I do not envy you guys your snow, but later on, would like a little.
My joints are shouting that cold weather is here. I used to smile when the auld folk would say that they could forecast the weather with their knees or whatever, but it is literally true to a certain degree.
Thanks for breakfast. Everyone take care and stay warm
Back in Denver, gotta deal with 10 days of what evolved in the office.
Snow due tonight in Denver after dark, 8-10" by Thursday AM.
Saw the aftermath of what happens when a car collides with a slow mowing piece of farm equipment (folding disc plow) at a bridge, not much left of the car. (US-36, Jewell County KS)
Partly cloudy this morning, which indicates, some sunshine. To be more sunshine as the day unfolds. 33 earlier this morning. Don't really know what temp is forecast for this afternoon.
But our inch and a half of snow doesn't have much of a chance by this afternoon.....and that will be good riddance. Sunshine forecast for tomorrow too.
About 3" of the fluffy stuff is on the rails this morning. We're currently idiling at 33*. Won't be here for long...

Believe we are up to 40 degrees, and the sun is shining, although it isn't very warm outside. Think we're supposed to get another couple of degrees warmer for today.
Here is the menu for the rest of the day:
1. Vegetable soup
2. Mix of northern & pinto beans w/ham
3. Beef stew
All three served with cornbread.
Dessert: Peach cobbler, Chocolate cake w/white frosting, Yellow cake w/chocolate frosting
Glad our metro area did not receive any flurries yesterday/overnight. That bad, 4-letter word stayed north of the Ohio River. I'll handle cold temperatures over getting snow or ice anytime I can.
Mookie must still be trackside. Haven't seen her in here yet today.
Everyone have a good afternoon, take care and see you all later.
CW, I think I will have some of your beef stew.
Since Sunday, we have had our cleanup after the big wind, a blizzard warning, and a snow storm that didn't live up to its' warning status.
There are links on Youtube of the difficulty a Lufthansa airplane had trying to land in the windstorm, as well as video of semi's being blown off the road. I won't post the links because some of the OTR truckers here might find then to be, as they say "program contains images that might be upsetting to some viewers".
There was one funny thing though. The Leader of one of the opposition parties in the Alberta Legislature was in her home in High River when two large trees came down at almost the same time, blocking both her front and back doors. When I heard this news, I thought having a politician pinned inside their home is a bad thing?
Considering the weather we have had the last four days it is fortunate that there is no local RR news today.

Good Thursday morning and Happy December 1st. 24 more days until Christmas, and I need to get started on my Christmas shopping ,and my Christmas baking. And getting my Christmas cards and getting them addressed and in the mail.
Starting out with a temp of 29, 30 degrees and foggy as all get out. It looks like we got moved to London, England overnight, or else they moved here. Supposed to get up to about 52 degrees later on this afternoon.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the warmer/serving bar this morning: bacon, sausage, eggs, biscuits, gravy, bagels, bear claws, oatmeal, grits, cream of wheat and toast are also on the menu this morning.
Everyone have a good morning, take care and I'll see you all later.
....A good December start. 25 degrees earlier this morning, but the sun is out bright. Hopefully, it will take care of the little bit of snow on the grass today. Expected high in our area: 41 degrees.
And finally, the wind seems calm.
I note a R. Hensley on line, and from Anderson....We're just about 10 - 12 miles distance.
Have some intown stops to do today, so we'll be getting out in some of that sunshine.
Quentin, the sunshine is nice! I've been out and about myself, this morning, doing the regular first of the month errands. Tomorrow morning will be bill paying time: yuck. Hate that, but it does need to be done. Looks like everyone else has been out and about in the sunshine today, since you're the only one who has been in since I was in this morning. Do have a little bit of a breeze, but not bad outside.

5" of fresh snow today and still falling. This town usually handles snow traffic, but seems to have wimped out today.
The dogs are having a blast in the white stuff - much more frisky.
sunshine was nice today.got our buick serviced and found out we needed a new battery.We are good to go for our trip this weekend.Cw thanks for supper for tonight.Tonight is friday.Going to start working on a birthday project for a certain kitty for next week.
It has been a nice seasonal day {C W}, here with lots of sunshine, and all snow has left us except a bit in shady places. It was only 1 1/2" of the stuff. Temp did get to 40.
Actually, we're falling behind just a bit in heating degree days now to "normal"...Would be nice if it would continue to do that.
Except for the wind, it has not been really bad here today, despite the cold. The east side of the valley, especially farther north of here, did suffer, particularly in Davis county, which had winds of up to 102 mph--huge trees toppled, 18 wheelers blown onto their sides, much loss of electric power.
Daughter who lives on the east side of the valley (almost due east of us) lost her power this morning, and it was still out at about 4:00 this afternoon. Her daughter went out--without her doorkey--and could not get into the house when she returned because the garage door opener simply refused to work (go into the garage, and then into the house without needing a key). We haven't heard from the other daughter, who lives about eight miles north and seven-eight miles east of us.
Several years ago, there was quite a bit about "canyon winds," which came roaring down out of the canyons from time to time when a cold front moved in, but these winds simply came over the tops of the Wasatch Front.
There was quite a bit of snow south of here: we had perhaps a tenth of an inch at our house yesterday, and it melted when it hit the ground.

Good Friday morning everyone. 34 degrees w/a little bit of frost this morning. No fog, either. Supposed to make it to about 50 degrees for a high later on this afternoon.
Joe, thanks for reminding me: forgot to pick up a b-day card yesterday.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast if on the warmer/serving bar.
Everyone have a good morning, keep safe and take care.
