Old Man Winter isn't giving this one up without a fight....
Tree: my grand daughter stated it very quickly.
" This winter is bi-polar "
Otherwise, it's above freezing, and there's a pretty good wind blowing, so the snow continues to disappear.
We got about 8/10 of an inch of rain - really brought the creek up...

The Butler Sunny and in the mid-fifties here in Southeast Missouri. I saw Tab Benoit (a Louisiana Blues singer and guitarist) last Wednesday and will be watching a local blues band tonight. I hope everyone has a good weekend.

Raining here, pretty consistently. No flood advisories, though, so it should be just another spring rain event (that will help melt more of the snow - and there's plenty left).
CSX northbound got hung up by a track supervisor. Said foreman didn't want to give up the track, but the DS told him the train was going to go and his time was up when it was up. After the northbound cleared his area of interest, he got the track back.
water level has gone down in the swamp.going to go to town on errands here in a bit.have some projects for tomorrow.wepx coal train was still in the siding when I left work today.
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").
Pat's brother lives in Steelville (Rolla's the nearest big city), and we haven't heard about bad weather from them, either (our niece also lives there, and has posted on Facebook without mentioning it).MC, we're supposed to have warm (well, seasonable), dry weather this weekend. Can't be so optimistic about Monday, though...it may supply the mud to go with those feathers.We have to go to Michigan for a memorial vigil this weekend, and should be returning on Monday. We could check up on you.

Wind and rain yesterday morning until early this morning. We lost twenty degrees somewhere along the way. A tornado in St. Louis is the main story on the news. Also, the wind caused a barge on the Mississippi River to come loose, to drift downriver, and to come to a stop when the boom of a crane aboard the barge came in contact with one of the road bridges across the river.
Nothing on the news about Rolla, which should be good news for your friends/family, Mookie.
mudchicken Headed your way Mooks! Just for you (What did Willy neglect [on purpose] to tell the following class at dear old Weatherliar U on Seasonal Transition?...Hope it doesn't pass thru NW Indiana/ Chicagoland. I want dry conditions come Monday.) Note to self: Thru Lincoln under cover of darkness this time. Number feathers as a precaution.

I would tell you to honk - but with annual migration of cranes, geese, pelicans and mudchickens - well, how would I know it was you? Just remember, I got your feather number!

Wow!
Was supposed to be 1-3 inches of heart attack snow here. We got 10+ (and 4 inches of mud now, which will be frozen mud tonite)

Randy - you might want to check in with home - I think it's snowing there....
Looks like we'll see some rain, but escape the wintry and severe stuff, at least for now.
Thought I might catch some Northern Lights the past couple of nights, but I didn't. It was mostly clear, too.
cold rain here in nw ohio.might need an ark in the morning.Ns has a wepx coal train in the siding.The local was coming back from working Delta when I left work.Tomorrow is Friday.
rvos1979John: Yep, thermometer in truck hit 90 today as I was rolling through Durham, NC. First time this year.....
That time of year out here in So Central Ks... Looks like we are going to get some rain and weather ugliness. Weather map shows lows and front all across this area from coast to coast... Today was beautiful, walked outside in shirt sleeves. Aty least it is not miserably cold , Temps in the 50s and 60 in the day and 30s and 40s at night... BNSF traffic seems somewhat down in volume, since the weekend days...They were really moving thru here over the weekend. Must be pretty low on the boards... Have a good rest of the week everyone. Be Safe.

The Butler Mookie We had a troll popping in and out and getting deleted. That may have affected our door. James - that was you? [...snip] Hahahaha! No, Mookie, it wasn't me. I took a fun quiz on Facebook, Which fairytale creature are you?, and it turns out I am a Gnome.

I was commenting on you coming in the window after me.
The Troll was in a couple of aliases, and if you read carefully and look carefully, you can usually spot them at their first posting.
Was that Albany in Georgia?

Ground civil engineer - sounds like something on a cannibal tribe's menu. Probably more expensive than the lawyer steaks...
Meanwhile - I don't think I've ever seen a live fly land on its back. They're pretty "stupid" this time of year.

Mud is gonna be busy grinding up pipeline engineer into little pieces. Ground round anybody?
