C.W. We had 152 folks for our produce day on thurs. The usual folk who live here,(65- to 70) were here ,also some new faces appeared. Winter visitors made up the lot. Produce row in PHX. gets several carloads in from Cal. and Mex. by trainfor the grocers. There is plenty to go around for the food programs from the chain stores grocers.
Have any kind of day you want, Cannonball

At 2:16 p.m., winds are still very brisk, and temp is still in the 40s, I believe. Feels like late November weather here in Louisville.
Joe, I like you idea for supper: I'd already put on a big ole pot of vegetable beef soup, for anyone who doesn't want leftover chicken & dumplings. We also have beef stew left, and I've baked some more cornbread.
We had Produce inside the gym this morning, and it was nice and cozy in there! On the truck today: potatoes (we had our choice of 5# and 10# bags of potatoes), cabbage, onions and 1/2 pints of skim milk. Ended up serving 52 people. So that's not bad for a very cold, windy Tuesday.
Larry, hope that whenever you do hear from your son, that they are okay, and made it through with few problems.
And Joe, glad your relatives are all safe.
Quentin, hope your niece in Philly is safe & sound, as well.
Everyone take care, have a good afternoon/evening, and see you all later.
Seems our little home town area {southwest Pennsylvania}, survived with even keeping it's power on...But snow flakes were falling. Everytime I checked the wind there yesterday, we here in central Indiana had higher sustained....14 vs. 21 mph.
Lots of rain in eastern Pennsylvania...Haven't heard from a niece in Phila. yet...A friend in Levittown.
We're still under a wind advisory here until 8 pm. Could see gusts of up to 50 mph a possibility. But believe we are in very little potential trouble here....light rain, temps in the 40's.
We send {and sent}, out Prayers for all people in this storm's path....

The windy part is over, now we get to wait a couple of days until the center of circulation (and whatever it brings) gets here.
The anemometer at the weather station logged a 40 MPH gust, and I measured 30 MPH with a hand anemometer in the field.
We ran three calls. Two minor "trees in the road" incidents, and one where the unusual-for-us north wind blew primaries against a tree, resulting in a tree fire and one of the primaries burning apart. We waited around for the utility to show and were done with it.
A fire department in Oswego County fought a trailer fire in 60-70 MPH winds.
In NYC, 80 houses were lost in a beach area fire. Access was an issue, and there are pictures of fire trucks parked in nearly knee deep water.
Haven't heard from my son - he's in the Annapolis, MD area, and I think they got hit pretty hard.

Good Morning
Welp...here at our manse our anenometer read at 1:35 am a gust from the north of 110 kph...about 75 mph. We lost power for about 2 hours after that...London Hydro took care of that little interruption...there are a number of pockets around here that have yet to see power restored as winds have taken a lot of trees down. The big ol' Maple tree that used to sit in behind our crescent went down taking a number of townhouses with it..neighbourhood is taking care of the victims here....
So, with all that out of the way I'll be having a coffee as I look over the forums......help those in need of help...take care ...

stay safe
Joe
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").
Good Tuesday morning all. Temp in the low 40s, right around 44 here in the city. Going for a high in the low 50s again today. Winds are still pretty strong, and gusting.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. And you'll find the warmer bar has a selection of good hot breakfast foods ready and waiting.
Everyone have a good morning; hope all our Eastern Shore folks are hanging in there this morning, and doing okay.
Evening..
Been raining and getting windier as I type...winds trending north to northeasterly at 40 mph gusts up to 55 mph right now..supposedly getting higher later on.
So far power is still on although I did notice that down the road a ways no lights on....trees looking pretty bare of leaves right now.
Better be getting off the 'puter here...try to have a safe evening here....
Guess our current temp is somewhere in the low 50's, but feels like mid/upper 30s to low 40s outside.I'm really glad that Walt decided to bring the flag in last night, because the wind has really been blowing here.
For supper tonight:
1. Sarah is making s chicken & dumplings plus
2. I have fixed up a big pot of beef stew and have cornbread in the oven as I'm typing.
Everyone keep safe, have a good evening and see you all later or in the morning.
Waiting patiently for things to start happening here. The wind is picking up a bit, but it's not a "storm" level's yet.
The models have the center of the storm tracking almost directly over us. Apparently that doesn't translate to a lot of rain, though, as they're still only forecasting an inch or less for us.
I think I've got the hatches all battened, fuel tanks filled, and I even froze some containers of water to help carry the fridge over if we do lose power (apparently a virtual certainty).
Should be fun!
afternoon
windy here from sandy in Nw Ohio. Getting chores done.Cw thanks for supper.
Just wanted to wish everyone good health and safety during this difficult time on the eastern side of the continent.

.....Here in our central Indiana location, we're seemingly in much better shape to not see much of the actual storm, but perhaps it will effect our weather for a few days.
Bright this morning....with some sun filtering thru light clouds and upper thirty's earlier this morning....Perhaps not much warmer now. Some light wind.
Guess I'll have to wait to about Friday to do my next mow / mulching of leaves around my place. Wet, cold and windy before then.
Have family and loved one in this Sandy's path in Pennsylvania, so must keep close watch, and issue Prayers for everone in it's path.
Well, they have a wind warning out for us'uns here...winds from the north this afternoon 35-45 mph then up to 55-60 mph all night into tomorrow before it all dies down...apparently we are only going to get about 2" of rain here...after all the dang rain we got all last week....
If you all do not hear/read me on this forum it will be because we have lost power as well....so take care, everyone!!
Good Monday morning all. Coffee, juices, hot tea and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. On the warmer bar this morning: toast, oatmeal, biscuits, sausage, eggs, sausage gravy.
To everyone in Sandy's path, please take care, be safe, careful, etc., as we all want you back in here safe and sound, when Sandy is over and done with her/his havoc along the East Coast.
Good Evening
Got the last minute things bought..all stocked up on batteries for the flashlights, candles, and other whatzits...plus other groceries such as needed. Like I said before..generator at the ready and what all else besides....
Around here they are forecasting anything from 2" just west of us to 6" around the Toronto ON region...and winds around 40-55 mph...who knows what merry mayhem might develop....
Here is hoping that everyone makes it through OK....

Afternoon all. Had a little bit of sunshine earlier, but not it is overcast and quite windy outside.
Like everyone else, I'm keeping everyone along with eastern seaboard in my thoughts and prayers.
My confirmation went well this morning. The only problem I had, was standing up in front of the Bishop, hoping my legs didn't give out on me (and yes, I was leaning on my cane), but still felt like I was going to go tumbling over. But I made it, without mishap. Walt and Sarah came for the service. She managed to have today off. And all the food afterwards, was really good: Fried chicken wings, baked ham, mac & cheese (actually shells & cheese), slaw, potato salad, fruit salad, glazed carrots, and I can't think what all else there was. On the dessert side: cherry pie, peach cobbler, yellow cake w/caramel icing, spice or jam cake, angel food cake, and oatmeal cookies. I am totally stuffed.
Here is our Sunday Dinner menu for today:
1. Baked ham
2. Grilled pork chops
Veggies: green beans, broccoli spears w/butter sauce, potato salad, slaw, fried green tomatoes, and baked cornbread.
Desserts: chocolate cake, peach cobbler, strawberry cheesecake.
Hope you all have a good afternoon/evening, take care, and keep warm.
Wet here today, but I hesitate to say it's because of Sandy. That'll come tomorrow. We've got high wind warnings for tonight and tomorrow, and still are seeing forecasts for significant rain. Our utility is already gearing up, but with the wind, power outages are a very real possibility.
At least most of our leaves are already gone off the trees, although that does raise the potential for drainage issues, with leaves covering storm drains, etc. Folks further south may see some tree issues with all that "sail area."
I've got a meeting I need to make in the morning. Hopefully there won't be anything major before then.
This one's gonna be one for the books by all appearances.
I learned something this weekend. Helping people move is for younger folks. I now have muscles complaining that had never complained before.
......Checking in this morning reporting bright partly sunny sky, and on the cool side.
Must get ready for church soon, and want to be Praying for all those in this massive storm's path....Some of my family....and special loved one....very near the center in eastern Pennsylvania.
Wish all a good week.

We be doing the same thing here..getting all the patio furniture put away..prepped the generator yesterday....all that fun stuff...
All I can say is it better not stall out and sit over us...grinding out barrels of rain and wind...
Good Sunday morning all. Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Just came in from the Bakery with fresh dougnuts, pecan rolls, cinnamon rolls and blueberry muffins for our breakfast. Also have some bacon, sausage and biscuits on the warmer bar.
Everyone have a good morning, take care going to work, Church, or whatever you have planned for this morning. See you all sometime this afternoon. Going to be a busy, busy morning around here.
Well, we had a band practice of our'n own here tonight....all three of us. I have a gig to get to next weekend and we hope to have someone there video us up there...this oughta be fun... Of course it all depends on how I take to the treatments again.
Take care out there this week!!

Good Morning to all.....We've been gone most of this week and just reporting back in.
First off: My Prayers to B C for treatments to be successful....
I traveled to eastern Pennsylvania and had beautiful weather for both directions. And my automobile treated me like a king....being a "car guy", that's meaningful.
I visited a loved one, and the weather was perfect. And now look at what is headed {the center of it}, right where I was visiting.....And it is sounding like an out of the bracket type storm....and will be reaching far inland too....
Right here, out in Indiana, we're being forecast for possible wind and {maybe even some snow activity}, Tue...Wed...So the Pennsylvania center area might really see some nasty stuff....and the eastern shores where the population is so great.
C W, glad to hear you had a good visit.....Boy, I certainly did....No trouble, absolutely, none...! Saw gas prices as low as $3.09 / gal reg., but each fillup for me was a bit over 4 dollars...{hi test}...but so be it, I had no choice.
So...all that can, enjoy the weekend.
Good Morning....and all the breakfast stuff is at the ready here!
I'm up and getting a few things cleaned up in here...all kinds of rain has been falling on our'n heads here and, of course, with Sandy getting ready to to do her thing I'll be watching my inland lake/ocean thing here...in fact, our neighbour to the other side of the crescent has already been seen creating a canal so the water can have somewhere else to go other than straight through my front yard...
Our forecast has us getting at least one more day of good ol' fashioned downpour city...a small sunny break or two on Sunday..then, right back to the swing of things with a few inches of rain...oh...and wind....
Well, with the generator here all prepped and at the ready...we'll see what happens around here...everyone be careful!!!
Afternoon all. 46 rainy, windy degrees here in Louisville at 4:22 p.m. Been raining since about 8:00 this morning: slow steady rain. At least it is nice and comfy here in the house! As a matter of fact, the furnace just kicked on.
Thanks, Tom and Joe for the welcome backs.
Our Friday Fish Fry is now underway on the warmer/cooler bar:
Fish: Bass, bluegill, cod, flounder, haddock, halibut, perch, salmon patties & salmon croquettes, jumbo butterfly shrimp, popcorn shrimp and Tilapia.
Side Dishes: Baked beans, corn on the cob, cole slaw, fries, hush puppies, mac & cheese, deep fried breaded mushrooms, mixed greens.
Desserts: Chocolate cake w/white icing, yellow cake w/chocolate icing, strawberry/rhubarb pie, pecan pie, and apple, peach and blackberry cobblers w/whatever flavor ice cream you want, if you want anything ala mode.
Hope you all have had a good morning/afternoon and will have a very good evening. Just stay as dry as possible, if you're in line for the rain showers, take care and see you all in the morning.
