Nice and sunny today - and cold. In the high 20's yesterday, ten right now, with a wind chill hanging around -10. Ouch!
Sorry I'll have to miss pizza tonight - attending a fire department banquet. Not sure what's on the menu, but the price is right...

Up to 10º here. Bright sun. Still winter, fer sher, but at least the sun is starting to get higher in the sky. I hate it when 2:30pm seems like a half hour to sunset.
Hot coffee for me this morning.

Just to let everyone know I didn't fall off the face of the planet. but I sort of got unintentionally kicked offline for a while. First off the place we were staying at while we were waiting for our house to get completed flooded out. A water main broke under the slab, so we all woke up with about an inch and a half of water all over the floor. The guitars got wet but they made it out alright. Thank the Gods too, or else I would have had to kill someone over that. So we packed up our stuff and moved to my husband's mom's place. She had no Internet, and I honestly didn't want to push my luck staying on the Internet on forums and stuff at the library. I know they allow it, but other peopel could make better use of it than I would with being on forums all the time, I told myself I could wait.
Over the course that I was at my husband's mom's place I found out I was pregnant. So far things are pretty calm. A lot of people are healous of me, since I am one of those extremely lucky people who doesn't get sick with every waking moment, or have anything to complain about.
We finally moved into the house the day before my birthday, and that probably was the best present I ever got.
I have been practicing taking pictures of locomotives, and so far, the one with an Amtrak was the best one I took. Nothing worth putting on RailPictures.Net but it's still fun. I can post them up if you would like to see them. They are mediocre but I tried.
CW, you have permission to shoot me cause I spoiled my appetite with Top Ramen
It feels great to be back online, and in my own space. I'll be back more often when I can now that I am back. If I get hungry again I'll stop by for some leftovers
I did some train watching today and I saw 6 trains in about 2 hours without changing locations. For my area, that is not too bad. These were on the BNSF of course, I wouldn't expect the UP to serve me that well.
The snow is almost here. It still looks like some pretty decent accumulations, probably about 4 to 7 inches in Omaha which would be the best snow since since last March. I hope it doesn't decide to trick us at the last minute.

P.S. They have changed the prediction for when the snow will begin here to 4 a.m. Guess we'll wait and see how much we actually get, even though they're calling for only 1 to 2 inches for our area.
Y6bs evergreen in my mind
Darn! Seem to be out of anchovies and I have ventured enough times for one cold day. I'll take a couple of big slices of #6, large glass of milk to go with that and then curl up in front of the fireplace for a nap.
Keep those snow shovels gassed up.

Evening everyone........
Watching the Barrett-Jackson auto auction tonight, they just broke an all-time record for most expensive vehicle sold. Carroll Shelby just sold his 1966 Cobra Supersnake (one of one) for five million dollars......
Woof.......
See everyone later.....

That #6 is always good! Thanks again CW!
The railfanning trip got postponed to tomorrow morning because of a family emergency on the order of encepholitis. Needless to say...trains got to wait.

good morning
juice and coffee are made.I will take some leftover pizza for breakfast.they are calling for 1-3 inches of snow here just depends where the system tracks.

Good Sunday morning to one and all! Well, here in Louisville, we are getting freezing rain and sleet. Current temp is around 31, 32 degrees. At least we have 50#s of ice melt that we can use.
Joe, thanks so very much for putting the coffee on, and making the juice. For breakfast this morning, on the warmer bar you will find: turkey bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs, fried taters, pancakes, waffles, and plenty of thick maple syrup (so your pancakes can soak it up, real good), oatmeal, and grits.
Sunday Dinner today: 1. meat loaf, mashed taters w/beef gravy, shelly beans w/onions, and red pepper flakes, cream style corn, cole slaw, and 2. beef roast, w/carrots & potatoes, along with the other sides listed in #1.
Everyone who has to get out this morning for Chruch, work or whatever, be extremely careful, if you're having very bad weather conditions, and be safe out there.
Pancakes and scrambled eggs for breakfast this morning sounds pretty good to me, and I too might grab a couple pieces of leftover pizza.
We have a blanket of fresh snow here on the ground, and I figure that it's somewhere between a half an inch and a full inch in depth. Our temperature here is sitting at 25 degrees, and with the wind out of the East at 6 mph, it leaves us with a wind chill of 18 degrees.

.....Yes, the really "first taste" of winter here....and the western edge of this fast moving system is about 2 counties over to the west of us yet. Started out as very fine snow and since has changed to larger snow flakes and is still coming down quite heavily. Hopefully it will cease in about 2 hours or so.
We now have at least 3" of the stuff.....Must make the chruch run in the next hour or so...Normally takes 10 min...but today, being the first "winter" driving session, who knows.
Winter tires and sand bags in back...do your stuff...

Encephalitis is serious stuff. My prayers are with your family.
I am most certainly glad to be back. Aw right Italian Cheese toast! That's what my husband calls cold pizza by the way
Let's see, Italian cheese toast with waffles, not mixed though, ugh!
What is it wich pregnant women and ice cream, and pickles? I could never figure that out
Good morning everybody, long time reader, first time poster. We've got cold rain down south this morning hovering around 40F but from what I've read, it could be worse.
No one minds me jumping into the conversation do they?
Welcome, and jump on in! Just don't step on the cat. She already has had one meltdown this week and went on a rampage with a paintball gun!
Here in Reno, it's about 17 and clear, high of about 42. I'm glad the snow is far to the east of me! I'll take some pancakes, eggs on top, edge with bacon and sausage, then drown with syrup. Thanks much, CW. Stay safe folks...
Bill
....This really must be a fast moving weather system as it is already past us and just about an hour ago it had 2 counties to go before it got past us...In fact, the sun has peaked out for a few minutes here just a short time ago. What a change from a bit over an hour ago.

By the way, don't forget to watch the NFL Conference Championship games today! The Saints at Bears is at 1500 ET/1200 PT, and the Patriots at Colts is at 1830 ET/1530 PT.
I will come back later for meatloaf with mashed taters, shelly beans with onions, and cole slaw.
Morning everyone....
Have about three inches of snow on the ground since early this morning, weather forecasters might be a bit off in the 2-4 inch storm totals again. Had over an inch fall in just the last hour or so, still coming down pretty good now. Might take the camera out later and try some snowstorm pictures before going to poker.
Willy, you can shut down that weather machine anytime, unless you want a crash course in winter driving in Wisconsin, or would like a whuppin'.
