Evening all.....
Well, the 2-4 inches of snow predicted turned into about a half inch that froze hard to the sidewalk, and the temperature has now plummeted to 16, 9 is the forecast low. Supposed to see the sun tomorrow.....
On vacation this week, so working on projects around the house, got all the lumber for some new deck railings cut yesterday, started to prep and prime them today, got about halfway through that, should have at least some of it painted barn red by the time I go back out Friday. I'll wait until spring to install the new railings outside....

Deggesty mudchicken OK - Now we know who left the freezer door open! I'm sorry; I thought I had closed my freeezer door. I knew you would get our weather the next day. At least, you are not surrounded by mountains as Salt Lake City is, so the cold should move on.
mamma don't like it either.car doors were a little hard to open this morning.some minor flooding in our area but not too bad.Breakfast is ready.Juice and coffee are ready.Work is quiet for now until the phone rings.Time for bed.
stay safe

Currently 38 and mostly sunny here in the wilds of Northern New York. A lot of our snow is gone, much to the chagrin of the snow sports fans. The 14+" I had in the back yard is down to about 4". Some minor flooding issues in the area due to the run-off, but my FD wasn't called out for any pump details.
I suspect the wind we got overnight (it was pretty breezy, at least for a while) was from the freezer door being opened. Cold will be the rule again here pretty soon.
At least I got all my Christmas decorations brought in. Otherwise some of them would be frozen in place until the next thaw.

Massive amounts of rain from Sat. late until Sun evening....Don't know how much yet, rain gauge in for the Winter...Sat. 60 plus degrees....This morning when I first looked, I witnessed...20 !
Water was laying everywhere {yesterday}....I'm not effected by it, but I know many people were.
Sky is bright now, and I believe our week is to be cold and mostly dry.
Wishing a good week to all.....No snow here anymore.

Good late Monday morning everyone. We are currently at 29 degrees at 11:33 a.m., up from 22 (?) degrees at 6 a.m. this morning. Supposed to get up in the mid 30s, later this afternoon. Our wind chills were in the upper teens this morning. Been busy doing my laundry this morning (just got bed linens into dryer), then will do my regular laundry.
I've got a big pot of vegetable soup on, and cornbread in the oven, just about ready to be taken out. Also, have beef stew on cooking as well.
Cannonball, you must have been reading my mind: I baked a couple of cakes yesterday for the Cafe/Diner that have black walnuts in them, along with all our other flavors of cakes/icings. One of each kind is in the pie safe, at the end of the counter (yes, Mookie, our chocolate is there also). And there's plenty of ice cream in the freezer as well. Will now be working on making the cobblers and pies this afternoon. Saving the cookies until tomorrow, and will bake them then.
Everyone keep as warm as possible, keep safe, take care and see you all later.
Thanx CW!
Did I hear you had a January tornado there in Kentucky?
Vegetable soup, and cornbread? Hope you baked lots!
Just finished a fall chore, about 2 months late, aided by our January thaw.
I dug up part of my bulb garden and redistributed the bulbs therein back in October or so. Bought the mulch, but never got it spread.
Back when I dug things up, the ground was pretty dry, and with the clay we have in our soil here, it didn't level off very well. After the thaw, it raked out very nicely. So today I laid down a double layer of newpaper and spread the mulch over top of it. Now it's ready for spring!
Got a class tonight and tomorrow. They're going to be shipping spent nuclear rods through the area, so I figure it'd be a good idea to get an idea of what that's about, even though they won't be going through our FD response area. Methinks the "rule of thumb" will generally apply (if you can cover it all up with your thumb, you're far enough away).
Larry, I'm glad to know that you have no expectation of being involved with any possible trouble with the shipment of the spent fuel rods. But, it is well to be prepared in case you should be needed. I think back to when I was shipping "empty" containers for hazardous materials, including "empty" phosphine, chlorine, silane, arsine, and diborane cylinders (all inhalation hazards), and various empty acid drums. I had to follow the regulations carefully--and the truck drivers who picked them up also had to be fully aware of the regulations.
Good Tuesday morning all. Very chilly out, with a current temp of 24, maybe 25. But we're supposed to get up to 37 today.
Mookie, the tornadic weather was down in the southwest part of the state, close to the Tennessee border.
And Larry, yes I did make/bake quite a bit of cornbread to go with the soup and stew.
Coffee, juices and other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go, and breakfast is also ready and on the warmer station.
Everyone have a good morning, keep warm & safe,take care and see you all later.
morning
cw thanks for breakfast.will take the soup and cornbread for work tonight.Larry hope the shipment isn't glowing as it comes by.There is alot of stuff local fire departments need to know about in case something should happen.On a disturbing note an area fire dept was robbed of equipment over the weekend.All our departments are small around here and they need all they can get.Time for bed.

Deggesty Larry, I'm glad to know that you have no expectation of being involved with any possible trouble with the shipment of the spent fuel rods. But, it is well to be prepared in case you should be needed. I think back to when I was shipping "empty" containers for hazardous materials, including "empty" phosphine, chlorine, silane, arsine, and diborane cylinders (all inhalation hazards), and various empty acid drums. I had to follow the regulations carefully--and the truck drivers who picked them up also had to be fully aware of the regulations.
Unless they've been completely cleaned, trucks carrying hazmat now are not marked "Empty." They keep their product placards. A gallon of methyl ethyl awful can do the same damage as a full load, just not as much.
We learned last night that the worst hazard involved with the shipments in question is the sheer size and weight of the containers. We saw a video of a test collision in which a locomotive suffered significant damage, with no damage to the container.
The bigger threat is the little packages that are everywhere - even in package delivery trucks, for that matter. While well packaged, they aren't intended to withstand a catastrophic incident, which could lead to contamination issues.
Didja know that your ionization smoke detector is radioactive?
...so are the bricks in your house.
mudchicken ...so are the bricks in your house.
Yep - and the dishes in your cupboard. Or at least some of them. The instructor was showing some sources of everyday radiation last night, and one of them was a nice orange/red saucer which lit up the radiation sensor like you wouldn't believe.
I figure if you got a set of those, you can just put your dinner on one plate, another plate on top, and dinner will cook itself....
I'm going to try that for dinner tonite!
mmmm...I wonder if I put myself under blacklight I'd glow a cherry red colour....what with all the radiation I took...
Good Evening

Beh....
Box of tissues and hand sanitizer on back table.
Which reminds me: went to a local sandwich shop - had a surly crew and lousy sandwiches. But the thing that struck me is that while eating, we were watching the only person at the counter.
He had on gloves for prepping a sandwich and then took the $ for the food (gloves still on) and then went back to prepping the sandwich materials.
I threw the rest of my sandwich in the garbage!
MookieI threw the rest of my sandwich in the garbage!
I suggest a new sandwich shop.

Johnny: Worked in food service (both of us) for many years. I started at $1.25 plus tips. That was all they had to pay us - a fraction of minimum wage.
I notice everything in a restaurant. Driver watches the kitchen when possible, since that was his domain. I really have trouble watching all the food channel "meals" because most of the women have long hair and don't wear "hair restraints". You are supposed to, at least, pull long hair back - men and women - but it never happens. Beards should be covered, too - but that only happens in sterile environments.
I check the Health Dept website for Lincoln all the time and only patronize places that pass their tests and my own personal test. But even at that, there are still many things that go on behind the scenes that I know happen and give me chills.
If you don't mind fast food - Subway and McDonald's both get our seal of "we will eat there" (altho I did have to have a chat with a district manager on two of the McD's to get them straightened out). Restaurants of all kinds should be held to a high standard of cleanliness - after all - it could be your health or your life!
I think the rule these days is some form of head covering - not necessarily a net. That's why you used to see food handling people wearing those paper hats, and nowadays see them wearing ball caps.
Most of the time I see food handlers using proper procedures, although the thing with handling money seems to be fairly common.
I do see a lot of effort directed to handling only the outside coverings - ie, a paper wrapper on an ice cream cone, vs wearing gloves.
cool morning this morning.sending matt off to school.got my breakfast too.guessers say for next week will need some extra fur.

Have a good day!!!
Good Wednesday morning everyone. We have temps right around 32 degrees this morning, both in Louisville and here in Shepherdsville. Some of the schools in southern Indiana are on 2 hr. delay, but Bullitt Co. schools are on schedule, and so is Jefferson Co., KY. Brother is sleeping, sil at work, 8 yr. Shelby is at school, and 3 yr. Allie is with her Mommy. So I basically have the house to myself, until about 2:15, when Shelby girl gets home (early dismissal day for some strange reason).
Got some chili cooking on the stove for lunch and supper. Will make grilled cheese, PB&J and BLTs later on to go with the chili.
Everyone have a good day, take care, keep the sanitizer handy, along with washing your hands, and see you all later.
