Brrrr, Good Saturday morning everyone. We have a temp of 24 degrees F this morning, w/winds at 18 mph, making it feel like about 8 degrees outside. Supposed to see the temp 'climb' to 29 by 5 p.m., with plenty of sunshine, but it definitely won't be very warm outside today.
Coffee, juices, hot chocolate, hot cider, and plenty of hot water for hot tea are all ready to go. On the warmer bar this morning: bacon, sausage, eggs, pancakes, waffles, plus the doughnuts, danish, muffins, etc., from yesterday morning.
Everyone have a good morning, take care, keep warm, and I'll see you this evening, for our pizza fest.
half the driveway clear the other half full of snow.Cw thanks for breakfast.good day to stay inside.
stay safe

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").
Brrr! Good morning from the great city of Franklin Ky. I figured it would be a lot warmer daown here than up in Indiana! Guess I was wrong. Thanks for breakfast CW! Also, may I just say Wlat and Paula that the roads in Louisville are a NIGHTMARE! Currently at the Hampton Inn here at Franklin. When we checked in last night the one thing that was not satisfacorty was the coffee pot in our room was lovingly located ON THE BACK OF THE TOILET!
Ahh well. It was a very nice room. Hopefully we're gonna cook through Tennasee and Alabama today. Hope to make it into the Sunshine State by tonight.
As I look out the window here in Franklin, I can't help but imagine the old L&N pulling the Pan American through here at speed. That lonesome whistle off in the distance just sounds so sweet...
Have a good day all!

CW , I agree with you on ( nothing to eat or drink past mid night) . This has happens to me whenever old hide wellness clinic time rolls around. Maybe it's when you are stabbed with the needle you won't squirt all over them or the X ray will show the stomach and the food they can't eat themselves. Ain't getting older tons of fun?? The best of good results on the test .
Keep smiling, it makes people wonder what you are up to next.

.....Our take on the weather yesterday was {including overnight}, about an inch. So not bad. It's moving on east. Sky is very bright, overcast but sunshine is coming thru at times.
Early this morning we had 16 degrees. Now approaching 20. But the occasional sun has dried up most of the ice on the street. Tomorrow to be more sunshine, but still pretty cool. So not too bad.
Quentin
The sun has been out all day here, but is ccccooooolllld! I think, when I came to the computer a few minutes ago, I saw a current temp listed of 27 degrees F. Decided to take a walk earlier this afternoon, since I don't think I have gotten out all week, to do any good walking. Yes, I was bundled up real good: layered clothing, coat zipped, hood up, and coat & hood velcroed shut. So I didn't get too cold, walking. But the wind is something else, as in bitterly cold.
Here is our Saturday Night Pizza Fest menu for tonight:
01. Anchovie
02. Canadian bacon
03. Cheese
04. Chicago style
05. Goetta
06. Ham & green pepper
07. Hawaiian
08. Italian sausage
09. Pepperoni/mushroom
10. Supreme
I think, along with a slice of supreme tonight, I'm going to try a ham & green pepper slice. For some reason, that sounds really, really good tonight.
Later on, I'll pop some popcorn and fix some hot chocolate for everyone. Sounds like a good night to have that combination, doesn't it. Everyone take care, keep warm and see you all later.
Good evening, from a chilly Calgary. It is 22° but the windchill is bringing it down to 10°. And the wind is coming from the exact wrong direction. It is making the corner where I sit to type this very uncomfortable. In the last day and a half I have only been over here long enough to check on the things I have to, and then I move elsewhere.
Elsewhere tonight is going to be in front of the TV. The Canadian Junior Women's Curling Championship is on tonight. The Junior Men's Championship game is on tomorrow. World Champions have to start somewhere, and many have started their careers wining these games. And unlike the problem I mentioned a few months ago regarding broadcasting University Football, sponsors pay the cost of the Curling broadcasts.
So, a Canadian Bacon pizza seems like a good choice tonight, and some hot chocolate later on, when I come back to this computer. I generally only eat popcorn once or twice a decade, and since we are now just into our third year of this one, I might partake of some of that as well this evening.
No new actual RR news lately, but this management situation at CP certainly keeps me busy trying to follow all of the in's and out's. I keep thinking of something I want to write on a thread, and them something else happens. The more I see, the more I see the current situation is really not good, but as to the best solution, oh boy.

I'm going to Calgary. It's warmer there. All of zero here.
We got one of our cars "hoed out" today, and a few more square feet of the locomotive stripped. Long day.
I'm pooped. Time for bed.

Bruce - we have a north frontage, so I don't sit on the north end of the duplex (living room and master bedroom). My closet is in a north corner with the door closed, so clothes come out of there semi-frozen and must defrost before being wearable.
Well, snow tomorrow nite, so must make sure my sled runners are sharp. Whee.....

Good Sunday morning everyone. 18 degrees here in Louisville this morning, with clear skies. Hope you all enjoyed the pizzas last night. Know I sure did. It is going to be a very cold walk up three doors up to Church this morning. Guess I'll be having my thermals on under my slacks. Thick socks on the toes, too!! Have to them the feet warm. By 5 p.m., should have a temp in the low 30s, probably around 33 degrees, if we're lucky.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer bar, including leftover pizzas from last night.
Everyone have a good morning, take care and be bundled up, going to Church, work, rail fanning, or wherever you have to go this morning. See you all later this afternoon.
.....Jen...hit that thermostat so it gives you some heat. Even on the north side of the space....
Our early morning temp here was 14.7 when I first looked. Bright sunshine now, and appears we'll have quite a bit of it today.
"My La z Boy" is right next to the patio door in the family room, and at that temp this morning, or any morning, and with the verticles open....I'm comfortable. It is a new replacement for the original patio door, installed two seasons ago and really does an excellent job of reflecting cold and heat. Of course it's double glass with thick wood framing & seals properly, but with a special coating inside the double glass to help control sun and cold. Brand: Jeld Wen
Streets are dry this morning. No snow overnight. A bit more possible early in our new week...but warming after that into the 40's.
No Sunday School run this morning, but we will be doing our church run in about an hour. Then decide where the Sunday meal will be.
Daytona 500 two weeks from today....Time is flying.
Well, here I am, back from Church, have had a nap, and watched a little bit of TV, and have read a few pages in a book I'm reading. Now, I'm here on the puter, as Mookie says.
Here's our Sunday Dinner menu:
1. Meat loaf, mashed taters, gravy, homemade buttermilk biscuits, your choice of green beans, broccoli w/butter sauce, whole kernal corn, and your choice of garden salad or slaw.
2. Sauerbraten (German beef roast, with any of the above vegetables
Desserts: Apple cake w/cream cheese frosting; chocolate cake w/chocolate icing, yellow cake w/caramel icing, strawberry, blueberry or peach cobbler and apple dumplings.
Think we've gotten up to about 33, 34 degrees, but with the wind blowing some, it still feels really cold outside. Everyone take care, enjoy the rest of the afternoon and evening, and see you all tomorrow.

sunshine is nice this afternoon.back to work tonight.Cw thanks for supper.

Quentin, if this was my place instead of the landlord's I would have replaced these windows ten years back. Even with our milder recent winters surely the cost of working on the windows would have been recovered in utility costs by now. That wind business is sure a funny thing though. If it had been blowing from only a few degrees either way on the compass, the windows wouldn't have let near as much cold air in. And on February 11 it could have easily been -22° instead of the 22° I mentioned yesterday.
Now I'm off to visit my mother for supper and watch the Junior Men's Curling Championship with her.

Understand Bruce.....Especially up in your area, you folks need all the help keeping the warm in...or cold out. We had this home of ours built so it's up to us to make changes as desired or needed.
When built....Anderson Windowwalls {windows}, were installed. Of course they are thermopane, double glass, but then I had specially made, storm windows that fit where screens do in the Summer time....So, overall, they have done a good job.
But patio doors can be big heat wasters, so it's really important to select a good one when replacing.
Of course the seals are so much better now on them than back a ways. And the wood frame so much better over metal in my opinion.
And Paula.....Our afternoon was similar....After church, it was olive Garden....and then back home and Sunday paper and of course a nap.
We {right now}, to my surprise, have 30 degrees. After a cold start, and still when we went to church it was cold....with a 10 plus mph wind blowing. I didn't think we were to get to 30 degrees today.
If you have color radar, it is quite pretty. The USA looks like a spatter paint print! Blues, greens, pinks, yellows.... and heavy snow in the panhandle of Texas and OK.
The year I lived in OK, they had 3" of snow for the whole year! Wonder if they will do that all in one 24 hr period.
Ours is coming - 10pm tonite to 6pm tomorrow.
Blah!
Madam La Mook - I spent a couple of years at Tinker AFB. One winter, during the week between Christmas and New Years, OKC got hit with a snowstorm yielding over six inches of the white stuff.
Pretty much shut everything down.
Nothing like that here in the north woods today (and it wouldn't shut us down anyhow). Some light snow overnight, but a few passes with the snow shovel this morning and it's all gone from my driveway.
Edit: The lake effect belt in Oswego and Onondaga counties is getting a healthy dollop of snow right now - they'll probably see 6+" by morning.
I have to head to Utica one day this week - we'll probably get hit here then.
Good Monday morning everyone. Mookie, sounds like what you're to be getting about now, is what we're to be getting somewhere between 7 p.m. tonight, thru 7 a.m. tomorrow. But ours will be a snow, then a winter mix, then by tomorrow afternoon, rain. Temps should be above freezing tomorrow, so doubt we'll see more than a dusting around here. Which suits me just fine.
Got plenty of coffee, hot chocolate, hot water for tea, along with juices and other morning beverages fresh and ready to go. And a nice, hot breakfast is on the warmer bar.
Everyone have a good morning, take care, and see you all later.
Hello Americans, it's Monday, and peace be with you. 24 and clear in Carolina, expected to make it to 55 later.
Not a whole lot happened over the weekend. I spent Lincoln's birthday on Facebook, chasing other folk's nature pix, watching train videos, and just goofing off. It was really quite nice for a change.
Everyone take care and stay warm.

Good Morning Railfans!
It's 30F and Partly Cloudy here and once again they are talking about another storm passing through here on Tuesday. AT least we got some melting which mostly got the ruts cleared on the side streets. Time for a quick bite and some coffee before starting my 12+ day work week; YUK! Big IT upgrade project this weekend so it's going to be a long week before my next weekend off. It's a paycheck...
Darren...........That's a mean looking rotary. Actually looks better than most of the in house, constructed units.
Our Monday morning started {earlier}, with 20 degrees. That's better than yesterday. We also have hazzy sun trying to get thru the very bright, light clouding.
Believe we're ok for today.....The weather system is west of us, and the projected 24 hr forward report....didn't show it reaching us. Not sure if most of it will go north of us, or stall out and fizzle. It is to get "warmer", later this week...Into the 40s.
Darren, that is a well built looking plow. Many plows I've seen are usually somewhat damaged before they are donated to a museum.
Quentin, nice looking cars you are rolling through your Avatar these last couple of day. Cars from one of my favourite eras. Post '55 cars seem to be more collectable. I like seeing the cars from just a few years earlier.
34° with very light snow here today.
Had a good visit up at my Mom's yesterday. She has always been a political junkie and we have an election in Alberta coming up soon. We have a new Premier who is trying her luck at the polls for the first time. Her party is promising to spend money on things like sailors on shore leave. It is interesting how one of the opposition parties is is using the American style tactic of "no new taxes", and is not really gaining that much traction. But it is going to be interesting to see if they can get more voters to buy into that idea. Historically, Alberta has always been considered the most "American" of the Canadian provinces, but will we continue to be that way. Mom and me certainly had lots of fodder for discussion.
No new RR news.
Quentin, it has been cloudy and overcast here in Louisville all day. And thankfully, no real wind or breeze to put up with. It made my grocery run a tad better, not having to try to block the wind.
As usual on Mondays, we have Sunday Dinner leftovers for supper tonight. Everything is heated and on the warmer bar for everyone.
Everyone have a good evening, take care and see you all tomorrow.
....Bruce, as you might guess, automobiles are another of my interests. We'll continue to display different ones as time rolls along.
If there ever is one you would like a full size photo...give me your email and we can do.
The current maroon Chevy convertible is a 1946 model.
{correction...had wrong name on letter}...Now corrected.
.....And Paula, the clouds finally hid the sun. But temps have warmed to 36 degrees. Dry. Little bit of snow we had is almost all melted.
snow on the way.going to help matt with homework.cw thanks for supper.

Good morning, and Happy Valentine's Day to all of you. Starting out with a temp around 33, 34 degrees here in Louisville, KY this morning, with a snow/rain mix. It looks like we have about 1/2 in. of snow in the gravel parking lot, next to our house, and a good dusting in the front yard. Sidewalks appear to be just wet.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. And on the warmer bar this morning:
Heart-shaped pancakes w/ whatever kind of jelly/jam/preserves/syrup you would like to have over your pancakes, along with your choice of bacon or sausage, scrambled eggs, and some Valentine heart candy, and a Valentine for each of you who come in today.
Everyone have a very good morning, and I'll see you all later on, after I get through with Produce/Bread, Pastry trucks.
good morning
matt is delayed for 2 hrs so far.It is between snow and freezing rain outside right now.Cw thanks for breakfast.if Matt is closed we'll have more help in the diner.
