Knowing what was coming this way....I turned on our magic wand and it worked rather well. Overnight, just a skiff of granulated like snow / ice is all we received. Temp earlier was 31.8, so that little bit will soon be melting. To be warmer later today and tomorrow.
Jury duty....Age, has been a factor here too...{But can't say too young}....They did raise the age I believe here in Indiana from 65 to perhaps 75 or so...I know I simply did not have to attend because of it....Fine with me.
Glad we're coming close to closing the door on February....Spring's on it's way next month.....

After the dinner meeting last night we were greeted with a freezing mist. Which stuck nicely to the windshield until it got warmed up. Drove out of it on the way home though.
Looks like it's going to come over us, but shouldn't be anything out of the ordinary. I've got a lot of driving to do this weekend, though. Don't need slick roads to be part of the equation.
Time to check the snail mail and get back to the project at hand.

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 Friday morning all. We lucked out in the snow/freezing rain/sleet overnight. Our temps are holding in the mid 30s, so not too bad outside. Supposed to be back up in the low to mid 50s by 4 p.m.
Never been called for jury duty. My Mama was called once: but she'd just had her second hip replacement, so a district judge we happened to know, got her off having to serve.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go. Breakfast is on the warmer bar. Enjoy, have a good day, and see you all later.
Last time I was called I think I scared both attorneys. I was the first one dismissed...
They do make plastic knitting needles, I think...

MookieThey called me for my 3rd time to go and I said no - don't need that kind of excitement any more.
You mean jury duty is optonal for you?
Mookie Walt - jury duty - you lucky person. They called me for my 3rd time to go and I said no - don't need that kind of excitement any more. Driver and daughter have never been asked! Maybe they just want to see what a Mookie looks like? Or they know I read John Grisham novels?

Almost 25 years of living in the same location and I've never been called for Jury Duty. For the pittance they give you for serving , I'd just as soon stay home and be bored, instead of a room with about 200 other people.
No knitting needles allowed through the metal detectors, (I don't knit anyway) maybe someone else was interested in the Tom Clancy, or Clive Cussler books I read.
Oh well, one more day and they're not supposed to even think about asking again for 2 years.
Ms Mook - here's a link to the NWS radar at Omaha, direct from NWS.
http://radar.weather.gov/radar.php?rid=OAX&product=N0R&overlay=11101111&loop=yes
The visibility is definitely better in all of the traffic cams. Still some snow in the air.
How much more snow you get will probably depend on which way the center of circulation goes.
Off for a dinner meeting.
Tree - 2:54 cst and snow has stopped for now - at least here at home. I don't think we got any more than an inch total. May start up later? Or not! I am glad you could see something somewhere. Usually I check radar during a bad storm and it is unavailable. Only available on sunny days.
We are fighting two fires - one about a mile straight north of us - an old restored colonial type - sounds like they were remodeling the attic that is no longer there. Roof gone, too. Went from a 3 story to an open air one story structure. Other one was a limited chimney fire.
BC - BNSF is too secretive to have any cameras. I think there is one at the old depot, but it doesn't show much.
Calm before the storm here. Warmer temps, but it feels cold and ominous out there. We're still talking 2-4 inches in the city, maybe another inch out our way. Then a little ice glaze in the morning, followed by more snow. Larry, does the Mookamera show any trains?

Ms Mook - I've been watching all morning. Things are definitely turning white there. A little while ago the roads had snow, but the driving tracks were pretty clear. Now entire roads are turning white.
The cam that looks at Haymarket Ballpark doesn't show the ballpark any more...
Currently looking at a snowplow at 27th and "O". Thought I was looking at Canada - they use blue lights on their snowplows, too...
On an amusing note, the cam at KLIN Radio, 44th & O, shows sunny skies and not a hint of snow. I don't think they've updated their image lately...
Edit @1:45 Nebraska time - snow getting heavier, traffic getting lighter.
mudchicken MukLuks and snowshoes are compatible with cats? (Denver got off light with 5-7 inches of powder and light ice underneath from the warm ground)

Only if you can catch the cat, don't get mauled scratched in the process, and the Cat doesn't figure out how to get them off in less than 10 seconds!! (and throw them back in your face)
My "Group" had the day off from Jury Duty today, thought I'd stop in and see what was going on. Don't think we're to get any snow, just a chance of sleet/freezing rain this evening/overnight.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Quentin!!! Hope It's A Good One For You!!
Q - Happy, happy Birthday! February isn't much better than December when it comes to having an outdoor get-together. But - this cold weather makes us sturdier souls!
Tree - go look again. It started about an hour ago and it is that fine, tightly bunched snow. We have about 1/2 inch right now.
The people really getting the bad stuff live in Southern MO - where it looks really pink and white! I think I would rather have blue, since there won't be as much ice under it.
Sir C - cats don't go out until bare ground is the norm. Gosh - that could be a looooong time!
Thank you Paula....it will be a routine quiet day for me.
Ice included in some of the weather to pass thru nearby.....Right now, it appears we might not be in a bad location for where the lower weather system is to pass....But tracks can change. Hoping for the best.
Time to head out for lunch.....
Good Thursday morning everyone, and Happy Birthday Wishes to Quentin!! Wishing you all the best today and always!
Well, from the looks of the weather maps, we should have a wintry mix coming in around 6 to 10 p.m. tonight. According to what I saw, here in Bullitt County, we'll probably only see some rain, with maybe a little bit of sleet mixed in. Metro Louisville and points north, will probably see more, possibly some snow. But temps are to warm up tomorrow, so won't be around very long at all.
Everyone have a good day, take care and see you all later.
Just checked out the Mookie Cams and they aren't showing any snow yet, despite the radar showing it over her area. It's headed that way, though, in spades by the looks of it.
About an inch of the white stuff overnight here. Nothing out of the ordinary.
Found a keyboard for the computer that's new than what I was using (or at least wasn't as tired). Only problem is that a few of the keys have "moved," so it's going to take some getting used to.
Off to check the mail, then more work on a folding display board for the railroad.
guessers say a mix for tomorrow morning here,then rain.going to be interesting for sure.Long night at work.Time for bed.breakfast is on the counter.

Madam LaMook - TWC has you square in the middle of the '12" to 18"' area as of a little bit ago.
Of course, their stock in trade is bad weather, but based on some of the other stuff they were showing on the weather map, they might be right. It's kind of a winter version of springtime severe weather, without the tornados. Cold air from the north, warm moist air from the south - voila! Snow! And prodigious amounts thereof.
We have been out all day, but before we left I checked the radar. We were under "blue" all day, but saw nary a flake. They say we are too dry to snow. It never reaches the ground. Now that I like! However, they are still calling for around 6-12 "something" by tomorrow nite. Think I will sit in the window tomorrow and watch "something".....
Three to five inches coming to a neighborhood near us, followed by a tenth of an inch of sleet...this is down from the worst-case scenario they were talking about last night. Doesn't matter...we'll still be watching trains tomorrow morning.
They went high tech?
tree68 mudchicken Our one to three inches has morphed to four to six inches coming after afternoon. The weatherliars are all in the back room rolling dice to determine the outcome.Sheesh. We always used a dart board...

had to go spot clean the church this morning for the Lenten service.Guessers here are still guessing.Work is becoming really busy again.Chores to do.
Ms Mook - Duck! TWC says you're getting a good dose of the white stuff.
Got almost nothing yesterday, althought he brief warm-up and rapid cool-down left me with a driveway covered with ice. Whee!
The lake effect machine has settled in for Oswego County. A portion of the Interstate is closed due to an accident, possibly involving a bus.
Back to cleaning.
