How's the weather?

[sodascouts]

Understandable. I'm glad her mother's house is standing, at least.

[Prettymaid]

Whew! Here's a video of Breezy Point. My heart just goes out to everyone who suffered damage or loss.

[zeldabjr]

poor Joanie...having to go through all this...glad her mother's house is still standing at least...so hard to be without power...is she staying at home or somewhere else?...anyone know

[VAisForEagleLovers]

She and her DH are at their house, yes. I think her sister is staying with them as well, along with her dogs.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

please give Joanie love and prayers from JAHH and I.
I"ll light a candle for her at the shrine on sat nite

[Glennsallnighter]

Yeah, I too am glad her Mothers house is still there. Hopefully the flood damage can be made good eventually too. I texted her today, but she may not have power in her phone. I just want her to know we haven't forgotten her and her family (not that we would).

I have seen some reports on the news here about the damage caused by the hurricane and my heart goes out to each and every person affected by it. I hope New York and the surrounding areas will show the same resiliance that the City has shown before in the face of adversity. I'm sure it will.

[Topkat]

Things here in NY are still pretty bad...I have been blessed & lucky that I had no power loss or damages, but many of my friends are still without power. It's getting cold here & they have no heat, hot water or electric. I personally have not been through the destroyed areas, but I'm sure you have seen some of the damages on TV.
This is not normal weather here. This is the worst storm we've had in over 100 years. There have been hurricanes, but they are usually very rare and nothing like this one. They say the damages could amount to over 500 billion dollars.
Atlantic City, where we just had seen the Eagles in Sept. is totally destroyed. It's almost surreal.

[zeldabjr]

I just looked on Revel's website...they are re-opening tomorrow...kind of surprising

[Topkat]

Looks like the power has just come back in AC, but I doubt many will be visiting with the conditions as they are. There is still no gas, lines are hours long. Things are still very bad there. Frankly, I don't see how they are opening.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

FREEKIN' COLD:bye:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

About the casinos in Atlantic City, most opened yesterday. Here's an article that talks about it. I was glad to read what part of their reasoning was, same thought I had when reading Zelda's post that the Revel was reopening. The people that work at these casinos probably suffered damage and probably need the money. The last thing they need is to be unemployed for any longer than necessary. Not sure how it'll work out with few employees able to get to work and few customers able to get there to spend $$, but I guess we'll find out.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/49664145/ns/weather/t/nj-casinos-reopen-after--day-storm-shutdown

[zeldabjr]

I guess I'm thinking about how much fun I had at Revel....that is why people go there right?...I would feel guilty partyin' it up while so many nearby are really suffering...but if it helps the economy and the workers that's the good part...I just wonder how many people will actually go...would you go there right now?...maybe the problem gamblers will!...good luck to them all...AC will always be a special place to me now!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Just talked to HH, they still don't have power. She said there's still trees down with power lines under them all over the place. In some places, the trees have been cleaned up, but the lines and poles are still down. I'm wondering if they're having a problem getting new poles into the area? Anyway, it's not looking like she'll be getting power any time soon, and apparently a Nor'easter is due to come through on Wednesday.

[zeldabjr]

Does she have any family she can go stay with somewhere?...she still is planning to go to Fla isn't she?...or is that a stupid question?

[Topkat]

I feel so bad for HH. I have several friends on LI that are still without power. They are working on it, but there is so much to do & those trees have to be moved. It could be another week or more in some areas. I hope she can go to a friend or relative for some relief. It's getting very cold here.

As for AC. I can see the reasoning for opening the casinos, to recover the revenue lost, but I doubt many people will be coming to the casinos, except for the locals & even still many of them are still without power, so they have lots of work to do. They made AC a priority to get the power on ASAP, but the residents nearby are still suffering. Once again money is the issue. Get the casinos up & running, but the people living there suffer.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Does she have any family she can go stay with somewhere?...she still is planning to go to Fla isn't she?...or is that a stupid question?

Her family is pretty much in the same boat as she's in. She has a friend that has power, and she's been going there off and on, but since she has her sister's dogs, she can't stay there. As for Florida, at this point in time she's thinking she can't go.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

I was able to exchange emails with HH today. They are all hanging in there despite some pretty horrid conditions, including the cold weather. She's a tough cookie and is focusing on all the things she has to be thankful for. As VA said, it's not looking good for her on making Glenn's show at this point, but she is trying to keep her sense of humor and gave me some very specific instructions for Glenn if she doesn't make it. :wink:

Everyone please continue to keep her and all of the others affected by this disaster in your thoughts. :thumbsup:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

first , I WILL Comment that Ac has always been special for me..
It goes back to when I was a kid. It is a place JAhh and I have gone many times to see many great mucisal shows.We spent our 25th wedding anniversary there as well as our 30 (seeing Joe Walsh).We have always gone there cause it always a fun place when we were kids and when its our anniversary it"s a hard time to get away from work so we have always gone close just to have a nice dinner and a romantic walk on the boards by the sea.
I understand that they want to open cuase the casinos arent generous to their people..meaning they could pay them if they wanted to for not working but they choose not to so to them they think they should open so that these people can go to work. If you read the article...it was locals coming back ...maybe locals who didnt have heat or electricity and for them it was a nice place to go instead of some of the butt pople I saw on the news who were renting hotel rooms without heat or electricity to people for 60.00 or better yet their normal room rate of 75.oo but they charged a poor lady 115.00 plus tax a nite.Or the gas station owners in toms river who are charging 10.oo a gallon for gas cause they had it and electricity where others who had the gas but no way to despense it cause they had no power.
this is just not right.

Last but not least..HH you and your family are in my prayers and thoughts and in my heart.
God keep you and bless you durning this difficult time..Eventuly this too shall pass even though it just doesnt seem possible at this time that it ever will.
Love to you Joanie ..keep up your spirits.

If anyone e mails or texts Joanie, please tell her that Harold & I are praying for her & everyone afected by the storm.

[SallyGee]

We just got our power back. We are fine. No damage. But so many in our area have lost everything. The town I grew up in, the town my husband grew up in, and so many others are just devastated. So many friends and family are dealing with so much right now. Please pray for them. Miraculously, I haven't heard of any deaths in our immediate area. Homes can be replaced but people can't. I am still reeling from what has happened. Just wanted to let you all know we were ok. Hope everyone else made it through the storm ok.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I will do that, Ann. I've been passing along all the messages.

She and her DH did decide to bug-out and go stay with a friend tonight. The friend was kind enough to allow her to bring her sister's dogs and so she was in a hurry before the friend changed her mind (I think she was kidding about that :wink: ).

SG, so glad to know you're OK and that things are going as well as can be expected.

At church tonight, we were urged to give towards the relief effort. Half will go to the NJ/NY area and half towards West Virginia, Virginia, and Ohio, where apparently people are losing their houses due to four feet of wet snow caving the roofs in. All that kind of gets lost in the news cycles.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

I so have ya all in my heart and in my prayers.
stay safe and as positive as you can everybody.
For me, some are still without in our area.
It has been a hard week listening to patients with all they have lost and most are elderly. My heart is heavy for all who are sufferung.
Its still freeking cold and windy out....
bad start to fall.

Thanks for updating us. I'm glad you didn't have any damage, at least.

[Topkat]

Sally, glad to hear you are ok, and you have no damages & your power is back on.
Also glad that HH is going to stay with someone who has power tonight. It must be very trying to be without electricity for such a long time.
Still praying for everyone who have lost their homes. It's just terrible. Where are all these people going to live when they are rebuilding? They are homeless, it's really so sad to see this happening.

As for AC, yes I think the hotels are open so THEY can make up for the lost money. They lose tons of money when people aren't gambling (losing) money there! The workers do need the money as well, but these workers don't make much, They rely on tips & if the hotels aren't busy they make very little.
People will start to come back to AC soon, maybe not for a week or so, but they will come back.

[EaglesKiwi]

SallyGee, so relieved to hear you are okay.

TT - I have been so worried about your baby godson after seeing that one hospital had to evacuate their newborns in intensive care.

TK - hope you get back to some kind of normal soon!

Thoughts & prayers with everyone affected, & especially Joanie & Jesse.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

EK-

He is still in the childrens hospital in the city.
His jaundice is gone and his platelets are up naturally.
awaiting mri results of the liver before they do a biopsy.
He's a fighter .
As soon as I know something I will post.
But we all believe in the power of prayer.
Its still freeking cold out here and windy. JAhh is gonna attempt to clean up some storm damage outside.
cold and windy ugh

[Topkat]

I really cannot complain because I have heat, hot water & power. My only problem is that my train to work isn't running which makes my commute longer. I did not work, Mon - Thurs, but I did work on Fri. but my boss let me leave early.

Tues, I am supposed to work at the election....I am wondering how this election is going to go off with so many people without power. The voting is electronic, so I'm wondering what is going to happen with this. I mean it's a presidential election, they can't just postpone it. I'm waiting to see what the mayor is going to say about it. So far, it has not even been mentioned??? NY & NJ will not have full power by Tues. that is pretty much a fact at this point.
We also have a rainstorm heading our way for Wed. What a nightmare this is for some people. My heart really goes out to them.

TT, please keep us posted on Lucas's condition! Hope he is doing better each day!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

thanks tk

I heard something about letting ny and nj vote by email on the news but I wastn fully awake yet.
That has been on my mind lately as well as all those effected by this storm.

yes you are right ..I have heat and electric and am greatful ..some in our town still our out.I just keep praying.

[Topkat]

thanks tk

TT; I don't see how they can vote by email. If they don't have electricity, the computers are not working. Not really sure how that can work??? I'm waiting to see what is going to happen.
My polling site has power, so voting will be normal in my area, but many areas are still down.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

people were on t he news in some counties in nj proving who theynwere and doing balletts. I guess they mean if ytou can get to your cou nty office .
watch the news tk

[zeldabjr]

so glad your power is back on SG! and that you are ok...still praying that HH gets hers back soon!

yeah I think this election sounds like it's gonna be a mess and it's so important!

Tk...hope your commute goes better this week!

[SallyGee]

Thanks everyone. Feeling a little better today. Having power helps a lot. Hope HH gets hers back soon. Got to see some family today. My nephew won't be allowed back in his town for a few weeks. It lies between the ocean and a river. He knows there will be nothing left. But he is in good spirits. As most people I have spoken to are. We babysat for our nephews so that our brother in law and his wife could empty their flooded house. Sad but strong. That's what real Jersey Shore people are. It will take a while but it will be rebuilt. Travel is still difficult. Because of power, traffic lights are still out. Lots of detours. Lines at the gas stations looked a little shorter today. We still don't have work tomorrow. They are talking about a Nor'easter coming on Wednesday. I hope they're wrong. Stay safe everyone.

[Henley Honey]

I'm back!!! Did ya miss me???

Thanks for all your prayers and concern. We are all hanging in there, but needless to say it's been a b#tch of a week. We finally got power back this morning and I'm very thankful because the temps were in the 30's last night. There are still so many people without heat or power. It's unlike anything I've ever experienced. Gas lines go for blocks and blocks. Grocery stores have empty shelves. I'm very fortunate to still have a roof over my head.

We are all fine physically. Emotionally is another story. We have been working on temporary housing for friends and relatives from Breezy Point. It's uninhabitable for now and probably for a minimum of six months. 2800 families have been displaced and that's just in this one small community. The scope of devastation and destruction is monumental. We were able to get there on Wednesday and what normally would have been a 5-minute walk to my mother's house was an hour-long ordeal of hiking over debris and flood water. My sister's house is relatively intact. Her basement and heating systems are shot but that is fixable. Same with my 93-year-old aunt. My cousin's house which was on the bayfront is probably a total loss. We will have to wait to see if my mother's house is structurally sound but it may have been shifted off it's foundation from the storm surge. If so we will have to tear it down and rebuild from the gound up. The first floor is shot. The water line is about 5 feet off the floor. Heating system is toast, but again -- structures can be replaced. The fire did not have any impact on her house so that's something but the whole community looks like a bomb went off. It's surreal. 110 houses were burned down while every single structure on the peninsula was damaged in some way. I've spent every summer in Breezy Point and lived there for the first five years after I got married. It will never be the same.
We are all still a little shell-shocked but grateful there was no loss of life. I'll post some pics when I have more time. My cousin Maggie's house was literally six feet from the fire line. My nephew had a very close call. He had to fight waist-deep storm surge waters and found shelter in the 2nd floor of the community's administrative building and was evacuated on a fire truck in the early AM hours. We found his car about half a mile from where he parked it. Of all of the news stories I've seen, this report comes close to nailing the madness.

Again, thanks for all your thoughts, prayers and love. We have a long, long way to go in recovery, but we'll get there.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

So glad your power is on, glad to have you back on the board. One step at a time, right? Soon everything will be the new normal.:-(

[Prettymaid]

Sad but strong. That's what real Jersey Shore people are. It will take a while but it will be rebuilt.

SG, I love this line! I don't watch the reality crap on TV, but I wish it would all just go away. Your statement needed to be said.

HH, it's so good to hear from you. I'm glad you have power back. The video you posted is just surreal. It looks like it was taken in a third world country! Of course I will continue to think of you, your family and all others who are trying to recover from this devastation.

[zeldabjr]

oh HH so glad you are back!!!....so glad you finally have power...continue to pray for all affected...

I have been thinking about Darlene who we met in AC...anyone heard from her?...can't remember where she lives exactly...

[VAisForEagleLovers]

oh HH so glad you are back!!!....so glad you finally have power...continue to pray for all affected...

No, I've been thinking of her, too. She hasn't been on Facebook, either.

[zeldabjr]

No, I've been thinking of her, too. She hasn't been on Facebook, either.

maybe Kay has heard from her?

[Brooke]

SG and HH, I'm so glad to hear you are alright and back with us. What a horrible ordeal for everyone out there. I'm keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.

[GlennLover]

SG & HH, so glad you have power back & you are safe. I will continue to pray for for you & all who are affected by the hurricane. I know that the storm has taken an emotional toll on people as well as the dealing with the damage it has caused. Have faith.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

maybe Kay has heard from her?

Darlene replied to my message. They are fine, but really busy. She was without power for a day and a half.

[Topkat]

people were on t he news in some counties in nj proving who theynwere and doing balletts. I guess they mean if ytou can get to your cou nty office .
watch the news tk

I've been watching the news, but I haven't seen anything about it.
Anyway how are these people supposed to get to the county office? Seriously, this is most definitely going to be an issue Tues. Should be interesting

[Topkat]

HH, So happy to hear from you & that your power is back on, but very sad about Breezy Point. Very sorry for the losses your family members are suffering. Be strong for them. It is going to take a lot to get through this.

[sodascouts]

So glad you finally got your power back, HH. It's good to hear things are getting better, even if it's only baby steps.

And SG, I loved the line about REAL Jersey Shore people, too.

[WalshFan88]

Glad to hear the power is back HH!

[Glennsallnighter]

I'm so glad your power is back HH and that you came through this awful week at least physically fine. But of course I am very upset about the losses that your family have suffered. At least none of them were injured, although I suppose thats cold comfort at present. I will continue to pray that everything will be ok for everybody who has suffered through this.

Please also remember in your prayers the two young Irish brothers who were killed when they were whisked by the wind from their mothers arms while trying to evacuate in Staten Island last week. They were only aged 4 and 2.

I actually saw my first flakes of the season today!...

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Not good news for NYC and NJ...

[Topkat]

The winds here are already picking up. It's going go get worse as the day goes on. Not really looking forward to this. It is going to hit the areas already in bad shape & they said to expect more power outages. Some who have gotten power back are in danger of losing it again. We may also get snow.

[Henley Honey]

It's not looking good. This Nor'Easter is packing high winds and heavy rain -- again at high tide times. We will most likely lose power again before the day is out. Temps are in the 30's and so we may get some snow tto with this Nor'Easter. Hopefully we won't lose it for another 6 days. Over 250,000 people still have no power or heat since 10/29/12. :brickwall: And that's just on Long Island! Probably over a million people total.

Hubby has been on a gas line since 5:30 AM. Hopefully he can fill up before station loses power. Say a prayer for the poor people on the coastline!

I have been! Certainly makes our half inch of snow and 30 mph winds pale in comparison.

[Brooke]

Awww, I'm sorry for you guys out east. I hope it's not as bad as they say. I did hear this morning that it is a fast mover, so maybe that will help it get out of there for you.

[prayfordaylight]

I wish the storm was hitting here to spare all of you in NY and NJ. It's the last thing any of you need.

[SallyGee]

It's snowing. Started out as rain, switched to sleet, now snow. We are supposed to go back to work tomorrow, but our lights are flickering, so maybe not.

[Glennsallnighter]

Is this early in the winter for you guys to be getting snow?

HH, thinking and praying for you all! I hope you come through the next weather system with no further damage.

Hope your hubby managed to fill up ok.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Ok I had the dentist today. I left early so I could visit the nursing home but half way there ont he turnpike...it started to snow. SUPRISEd Me.
I could hardly see . SI I went early to dentist and waited. I feel like I white knuckled while I was driving with all the snow flurries and bad visability and the trucks.
I am full of novicane and tired and gonna lay down. but this was a cold damp lousy miserable weather day.

[zeldabjr]

TT sounds like you had a pretty crappy day...:hug:

SG and HH praying that you keep your power with this newest storm...still praying for everyone trying to recover...

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Crossing my fingers for our N.J. and N.Y. friends that they don't loose power again.

[GlennLover]

I am continuing to pray for everyone. :pray:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Just talked to HH, they have seven inches of snow, no phone, no internet, and no patience.

[zeldabjr]

OMG...poor Joanie...praying it is a short lived deal and not another week...does she at least have power and heat?

[Brooke]

Oh my, poor things! We're all thinking and praying for all of you. :-(

[VAisForEagleLovers]

She has power, but Verizon said it'll be days before phone and internet are back.

[sodascouts]

That sucks! Even her cell phone?

[Glennsallnighter]

Just talked to HH, they have seven inches of snow, no phone, no internet, and no patience.

Oh good heavens! Poor Joanie! She is really getting a blast at the moment. I hope the snow doesn't scupper her plans to sort her mother's house at the weekend.

We'll keep hoping and praying that things improve!

[SallyGee]

We were lucky with the weather this time. We only got about 2 inches of snow. We didn't lose power, but some areas of town did. Some still don't have power from last week. More trees came down because of the snow and wind.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Her cell phone works, but she can't access the internet with it, an issue from before the storm. I don't think the snow will interfere with the plans for the weekend, since she emailed me that long after the snow fell.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

hang in Joanie.
keeping you in prayer:pray::hug:
TT (& JAHH):thumbsup:

What a pretty day we had in Central IL today! Sunny and mid 70's. Too bad it won't last.

[Grey Sadler]

What a pretty day we had in Central IL today! Sunny and mid 70's. Too bad it won't last.

Pretty close to what we had here in east TN...:grin:
We even had an earthquake originating in Kentucky?! Everyone I know seems to have felt it except for me...I was upstairs trying to color my hair :huh:

:hug: Joanie!!!!

[zeldabjr]

Wow..GS...you actually had an earthquake...amazing...is that rare for that area?

[Brooke]

Yup, yesterday 75 and beautiful!

Today a high of 68 and wind this morning. Dropped to 48 and rain now! :crazy:

[Prettymaid]

Yep, it's supposted to get real cold, real fast.

For now though, my slider is open, cats are on the screened porch, and I'm enjoying a cup of orange spiced tea.

[zeldabjr]

Today was a gift...sunny and 70!

[Grey Sadler]

Wow..GS...you actually had an earthquake...amazing...is that rare for that area?

Actually, not really rare! We had a little rumble off the one from last year...there is some activity from a fault that was discovered in 1978...FYI my friend was at the football game in Knoxville & felt the rumble during the pre-game prayer (she thought it was people running along the balcony above her seats!!)

[Troubadour]

It's been milder over the past few days but it's really turned frosty tonight!

[zeldabjr]

it was in the forties and clear blue skies today....still clear now...there is supposed to be a meteor shower tonight...can't wait to go out and look!

[Brooke]

Thanksgiving Day-70 degrees! Had the patio door open all afternoon!

This morning-34 degrees and the wind gusting at 35 mph!

One of the reasons I love living in Missouri, right! :hilarious:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

SUNNY TODAY .

It's snowing here in Somerset, and I didn't bring the truck up, I brought the car. I'm hoping the forecast of only two inches holds true, since I need to go back tonight. It's to be a high of 27 here. I can't wait to get back to VA!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

After a week in 90 degree/10000% humidity weather in Puerto Rico, I'm glad to be back in the cold. Says it's 40 here right now and I couldn't be happier heh.

[Brooke]

A week in PR sounds very nice to me, pfd!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Same here, PDF! My poor car had to go in the snow (glad to find it could!) as I didn't take the truck to PA. I would love to feel some 90 degree weather!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

The forecast for Tuesday is a high of 69!! 67 tomorrow. Lookin' forward to it!

[zeldabjr]

today was rainy and in the fifties...I'll take it for December!

[prayfordaylight]

The weather here is schizophrenic and the kind that gives me headaches. High of 67 today and then down to 46 by Thursday. I wish it would just stay cold.

[zeldabjr]

today was sunny and 60!...doesn't feel very Christmas-like!...but I'll take it!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

yep warm and not chrismas like..lol

[zeldabjr]

I just walked my dog in short sleeves!:stunned:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

see...u started to make a scarf and I bought two at tjmax on sat cause they were too cute. so...we have scarfs....we now have warm no need scarf:lol: weather...lol:lol:

[Grey Sadler]

I think it hit 70º here today.
I went back to work in my black boots with knee socks thinking it would be freezing indoors...I burned up...I'm an idiot :-)

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - It is absolutely gorgeous here in central Virginia - was about 72º and sunny today and supposed to be about the same tomorrow. But, by Wednesday or Thursday, it's back to reality.

[Glennsallnighter]

Enjoy the good weather while it lasts girls! It's cold here but the days are bright and sunny. We had a few flakes of snow yesterday while I was ice skating with one of my classes. Made up it all very seasonal!

[Brooke]

We had a record high of 74 here yesterday!

Today, a high of 58 or so and cooler from there on. Headed back to winter!

[EaglesKiwi]

Very humid down here! I've had my first (& hopefully only) sunburn of the season - I always get caught out by the first really sunny day even though I wear a moisturiser with sunscreen every day on my face.. and I'm starting to have to put sunscreen on my driver's side arm for the trip home from work. :hilarious:
Still lots of rain though!

[sodascouts]

It's pouring down rain here!

[Brooke]

Well, the weather has taken a nosedive to winter! It's 30F, snowing like crazy and the wind is gusting between 30-40 mph! We are only to get 2-3 inches, but with this wind my road will still drift. http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/freezing.gif

At least the boss sent us home for the rest of the day! And I only live a couple miles from work! :yay:

[prayfordaylight]

I wish it would snow here in VA or up north (headed to NJ on Sunday for Christmas). I'm ready for winter. Tired of the schizophrenic temperature changes around here.

[Grey Sadler]

Upper 40s/Low 50s and nothing but rain rain rain...changing to snow after midnight?? :D

[Tiffanny Twisted]

heavey rain and howling winds.,,,,,cold nite

[EaglesKiwi]

Hot and sticky. It's the longest day of the year for us. :)

[TimothyBFan]

UGLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Brooke]

Hot and sticky. It's the longest day of the year for us. :)

Shortest day here for us!

And here it's very cold, 17 when I got up! At least it's clear and the wind and snow has stopped. We got 3-4 inches, but my gravel road is drifted terrible in places and the county hasn't been through since 4 pm yesterday. Good thing I have a 4 x 4!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

cold...:cuss::cuss::thumbsdown:

[Grey Sadler]

cold...:cuss::cuss::thumbsdown:

I second that!!
It snowed, but only the usual amount we're used to--doesn't quite cover the grass down here but up on the ski slopes, they're having a great time :thumbsup:)

[Midnight_Flyer]

quite cloudy

[Tiffanny Twisted]

cold...we got snow last night and it looked beautiful.....white christmas....ok the heat is set at 70 degrees and I cant get warm lol cold

[VAisForEagleLovers]

The forecast tomorrow is sleet, snow, rain, and freezing rain. Sounds like a good trip back. :lie:

[WalshFan88]

COLD! And my joints hate it. Florida in February can't get here soon enough!

[zeldabjr]

The forecast tomorrow is sleet, snow, rain, and freezing rain. Sounds like a good trip back. :lie:

VA..are you still in PA or did you make it home?

[Tiffanny Twisted]

yucky...i cant get warm and I havent stuck my head out all day. I feel like hubernating,

[EagleLady]

Cold :fear:

[VAisForEagleLovers]

VA..are you still in PA or did you make it home?

I'm finally home! Why didn't I just book a flight out of Pittsburgh to Vegas? :shrug:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

I'm finally home! Why didn't I just book a flight out of Pittsburgh to Vegas? :shrug:
my guess is you didnt want to have to drive home from pittsburgh after vegas???:shrug: Just spit balling here......
Glad you made it home ok cause it sure has been a not good driving weather around here today.
stay safe

[Midnight_Flyer]

cloudy and a bit wet

[Tiffanny Twisted]

snowing........
should get 3 to 4 inches i think????

good thing I bought stuff to make another batch of soup......

I HATE snow:-x

[Topkat]

It's snowing here too. It looks pretty but I'm not sure I want to go walking around in it. I went on the terrace & it's pretty cold out there too, so I'm making another cup of coffee & just hanging out watching Groundhog Day on tv!

[EagleLady]

Cloudy and cold right now

[Tiffanny Twisted]

watching bradley cooper in the move "the words"

more hot beverage sounds good tk

[Brooke]

Just getting a good start on our next winter storm. It's snowing like crazy! The last 3 inches hasn't even gotten melted off. Usually our snows come and go rather quickly, but it has stayed very cold this time and not melted.

Our gravel road has been like a washboard to drive on because it drifted and froze and the snow plow didn't take it all off. Roughest I've ever seen it in the 15 years I've lived there!

[Glennsallnighter]

Take care all of you in the snowy parts! We've had one of the mildest Christmasses on record this year. I'm not complaining- I've even been able to leave the heating off which is a rarety this time of the year!

The milder the better! I don't want to have to make up snow days later on in the year at work.

[Glennsallnighter]

FP I've been listening to reports on the news re the heat in Sydney at the moment. I hope you and your family are coping ok with it. Hopefully it will have eased by next month!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Yes, FP, I saw your 'fire alert' map that you posted on FB. I hope some rain and cooler temps comes your way!

Here, it's to be close to 60 this weekend! Looking forward to it.

[Troubadour]

It's just dull here at the moment! It has turned a bit colder today, though.

[Freypower]

It got to 43 degrees Celsius yesterday around most of the state. It's a lot cooler today. The bushfire crisis didn't really happen, thankfully. Rosalind & I are going into town today so hopefully we won't be too uncomfortable. But there is no rain in sight.

(And no.... the news programmes here don't use THAT phrase when it is hot).

[Brooke]

Fp, maybe you should clue them in on it! Sounds like it's very fitting right now!

[Glennsallnighter]

Indeed, I'm glad about the bushfires that it didn't happen. Hopefully town will not be too bad you both tomorrow!

[zeldabjr]

WOW FP...is that typical of this time of year?

[Glennsallnighter]

Keep yourselves as hydrated as you can.

We have snow forecast for the weekend and into next week!

[lizzyplays]

Warming up here, yet again, this week. This is why I constantly stay sick (that and I have the immune system of a gnat). We've been scared to death for me to go to work, which is why i took a couple of weeks off. I was already so sick that I was getting cysts so if I was to catch the flu I probably wouldn't be able to fight it off. I just wish we would have 'normal' seasons, like we used to but those are a thing of the past.

[Freypower]

WOW FP...is that typical of this time of year?

It's about 15 degrees above average for January. January is usually in the 30s, approximately mid 80s. It turned out OK yesterday & this morning it's even cooler.

[zeldabjr]

today it was sunny and 60...wow

[Grey Sadler]

Rainy today but I think we hit 70ºF...
It is STILL January!?!
We're missing our snow days...and it is supposed to drop back into the 40s next weekend (our first long weekend for MLK day) :eyebrow:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

not what they promised..when i look outside...it feels like i am living in london with all the fog from the last two days..oh well, at least i can pu t on old cds netherland sby dan fogelberg and clean nah listen and read..

jd souther and don henley and joe walsh are on this cd..just like part of the plan....two of my faves from that time period that arent eagles cds but the eagles are on it anyway lol

[Glennsallnighter]

We had our first flurry of snow today but that was all it was. A flurry! It's turned to rain now. Cold sleety rain!

[Brooke]

Cold! 19 F right now after rain, sleet, and then snow last night! Church was canceled this morning as the roads are very slick.

This after a record high of 60 F on Friday! Typical Missouri weather! :lol:

[zeldabjr]

right now it's 55 and partly sunny...pretty nice!

[EagleLady]

Its 74 here and cloudy. *ducks incoming snowballs* :hilarious:

[Glennsallnighter]

FP. are you guys still 'Freying' Down Unda?

[Freypower]

FP. are you guys still 'Freying' Down Unda?

Some homes were lost in Coonabarabran in the state's north.

http://www.rfs.nsw.gov.au/dsp_content.cfm?CAT_ID=683

Where I am, in Sydney, there is no danger at all.

[sodascouts]

We got some icing and sleet here and the university closed.... After I had finished teaching my classes, of course!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Keep it there!! It was another cloudy, foggy day here. Got warmer than Sat and Sun, but it's raining now.

[zeldabjr]

it was cloudy and about 30 here today...feels colder than that though...I guess having it 60 over the weekend makes this 30 feel even colder!

[Brooke]

A balmy 3 (yes 3) degrees F here this morning! Brrrrrrrrrrr! http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/freezing.gif

[sodascouts]

I teach a night class on Wednesday... and of course, this is the first day the night classes haven't been cancelled due to weather. Sigh!!

Actually, the teacher in me knows it's for the best that class isn't cancelled. We don't need to be getting behind in the class and I need the full amount of time to impart my wisdom. ;)

[Troubadour]

It's very cold and frosty here. We'll probably see some snow over the next few days.

[Glennsallnighter]

So true Soda! Also you don't want to be under pressure to catch up later in the year - particularly if a certain gentleman decides to tour again this Spring/Summer!

So far here it's chilly but no snow.

[lizzyplays]

We're expecting snow this evening. We're not equipped for snow. It's a novelty where I live. The roads should be nice and messed up as I am leaving work tonight around 9pm. I am hoping they close early, or at least let me leave since I have a 17 mile drive home.

[prayfordaylight]

Disappointed the forecast changed here and we're not getting snow. The temperatures have been so schizophrenic lately that my allergies are haywire and I'm constantly getting headaches. Guess I'll have to settle for a 3 day weekend instead of 4 heh.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

I'm kind of glad it changed here! I have to drive to Quantico tomorrow morning, and I haven't yet recovered from the eight hour drive on icy roads from PA after Christmas. I get what you're saying about allergies and headaches, though. Me, I'd just be happy to see the sun again, regardless of temperature.

[zeldabjr]

VA...glad to hear your forecast is more driver friendly for tomorrow...

[Grey Sadler]

Well...we started out today on "regular schedule"...with weather forecasts predicting snow starting anytime between 12 and 3...

By about 9AM they had already announced we would be dismissing at 12 but the schedule was altered so that the kids could all have lunch...

Once I got out, picked up some lunch, went to the chiro, made it home, I crashed (fighting off allergies again!)...

Woke up at around 5PM (by my mom) to look out the window at all the wet SNOW that finally started around 3...and it had taken her an hour to get from work to home, ack!!

And...they've already called school off tomorrow...hmm...

Edited to add: The local university (ETSU) just cancelled classes for tomorrow...along with every other county and city system in the area...:fear:

[Glennsallnighter]

Mind me asking, do you guys who teach/ work in school admin have to make up the days lost by snow? New rules here brought in by the Education minister mean that if we close due to bad weather we must make it up over February mid term or Easter holidays to a maximum of 3 days each holiday.

[lizzyplays]

Poo! Not even a flake where I live! All that build-up for nothing! I just wanted to see a few pretty flakes falling!! And enough so that I could make snow-cream!!

[Grey Sadler]

Our system has 13 days built in, so we don't have to make up any time unless we go over. Two years ago (during our "snowmageddon") we did go over, so the kids lost 2 days that we would have had to come in for anyway as Inservice...plus we went on one Saturday (interesting day..)

As opposed to the city system here, which refuses to build in more than 2-3 days and assumes their roads are always crystal clear...they are out today, but you bet they will lose having President's Day, just like...two years ago, during our "snowmageddon" :lol:

Lizzy...let me send you some of our snow before it melts!! :D

[lizzyplays]

Oooohhh... just enough for me to have one good bowl of snow cream and I'll be happy!!! :-D:partytime:

[sodascouts]

After 5 days, there have to be make-ups scheduled.

[Troubadour]

We've had snow here in London all day.

[Glennsallnighter]

We've had snow today too!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

The sun was out earlier, now it's very cloudy. Tomorrow is to be a high of 22. A high. Low tonight of 19 and low of 12 tomorrow night. It was 65 yesterday! I want a do-over!

[Troubadour]

Snow is on the ground but it hasn't snowed today - in fact, the sun has come out so it's melting quite a bit.

[zeldabjr]

it's 19 degrees and snowing...need something to keep me warm today...I think I'll watch Farewell I

[Grey Sadler]

It is sunny and 43ºF...headed for an overnight low of, um, 17º!!!! :stunned:
And tomorrow night it should drop to a nice 12º :ack:

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Ditto, VA. And just a day before that 65º, we had snow on the ground here. Strange Weather, indeed! (I just love to say that! :D )

[Brooke]

It was warmer when I got up this morning at 14. It's now 13!

Brrrrrr! http://www.anchoredbygrace.com/smileys/freezing.gif

[zeldabjr]

wow it's like a blizzard here...can't see across the street!

[TimothyBFan]

How's the weather?


It SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:hilarious: Lake effect snow and wind chills of -20.

It was 47 here on Saturday. Welcome to New Carlisle, Indiana, the snow capital of Indiana where the weather changes in the blink of an eye. Ugh!!!!

[Troubadour]

Ouch! Stay warm, Willie. We still have snow on the ground here, but haven't had any fresh snow since the day before yesterday.

[zeldabjr]

the weather is brutal here too..snowing and blowing...temp 7...just had to take the dog out and my hands are still stinging!

[Brooke]

No snow here, but brutally cold. 8 this morning with wind chills below zero. I'm thinking my hubby needs to be checked out. He actually went to work this morning-building a house a couple miles away! :crazy: man! (He didn't stay long!)

They said this morning that we are still desperately dry and need 10 inches of rain to just catch up to normal. Hope we don't get that in snow! It would take over 10 feet!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

They said we are very dry here as well, and that there were several brush fires today because of it. Seems like after a week of NO SUN we could handle some dry air, but I guess not.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

freeking cold...20 degrees we had snow dusting last nite that froze over this am for the livley comute to work.. glad I am off tomorrow

[Grey Sadler]

25ºF right now, headed towards a low of 14º :dizzy:
I have the Eagles LP background on this page right now...that wool blanket and/or a nice shearling jacket look really really useful right now!!! :laugh:

[Midnight_Flyer]

it's not bad at the moment but the last few days we've had lots of snow and a bit of rain

[Topkat]

All week it was freezing, like 12-15 degrees. I have really had it with this cold.:-x
Last night it was snowing when I left work. Had a hard time getting home because my train wasn't running, so I had to walk a few more blocks to get another train, so I got home at 7:30pm, Cold, wet & pretty exhausted!
Today the sun is out & it's not snowing, but still will be pretty cold. I think I may just stay in all day.

[zeldabjr]

yeah it's a heatwave here today..24 ...and no snow or wind...actually pretty nice for January

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Wow ladies - I have to say it's times like this when I'm glad I don't live farther north. It's been pretty chilly here in the Mid-Atlantic this week as well. We've had 3 snowstorms in about 10 days, but we only got about 1 1/2 - 2 inches in each of them. I can deal with that and I've discovered that my pup, Smuggler, loves the snow. He doesn't like the cold weather, but he loves the snow - go figure! :shrug:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

last nites commute was a nitemare.I actually live 10 minutes from work with no traffic...
rush times can make it a half hour ride.I do use the back roads and except for deer.It was bad. I drive through three countys and the first two were great roads pre treated go slow and you were ok..when I crosed from deleware into chester county well all bets were off.. nopre treated roads and it was bad.
my comute took over an hours but my nerves where fryed by then.
I had lrooe on the cd in the car so I was groving.
today is just freeking cold..
went out for wawa coffee for JAhhsince he had to snow blow the 125 foot driveway..
i could so be under blankets reading and never coming up for air ..eagles on the radio ...
cold cold cold...:computer:

ooh dreamer....our dog loved the snow to but hated the cold.i dont get it but I understand

[Troubadour]

Clear and much milder today.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

still cold here....maybe a move south is in order.....

[VAisForEagleLovers]

It's 78 degrees in Tampa... That sounds like heaven to me. We've hit a 'warm patch' here in Northern VA...39 degrees.

[Brooke]

Ice on everything here this morning and 30 degrees. Church canceled. Then it warmed up this afternoon, 43 and some light rain.

[TimothyBFan]

Another weird weather week ahead here. Had quite a bit of snow last week (6-7 days straight), freezing rain yesterday afternoon and evening and now it's 43 degrees and raining. High tomorrow of 63 and then it drops by 45 degrees to 15 degrees by Wednesday afternoon. High by Friday is 19. Wonder why everyone is sick. Geesh!

[prayfordaylight]

The forecast is similar here. I'm going to get headaches every day this week it looks like.

Had some freezing rain this AM and a ton of delays everywhere. I'd like my job a lot more if I could come in at 11AM every Monday!

[Henley Honey]

Cold, damp and miserable. A depressing gray day!

[Troubadour]

Same here, HH! It's been raining all day and it's turned really windy/stormy now.

[Topkat]

We had some light snow this morning & now it's raining but at least it's a little warmer than last week. I think in the low 30's, but better than 12 degrees. I had enough of that cold streak

[zeldabjr]

it was dreary with a light rain all day...very sloppy...but it's 47 degrees!

[TimothyBFan]

What a night we had here. One heck of a storm with lots of thunder and lightening came through and then around 1:30, we had hail the size of a quarter. I've never heard it so loud before. It got louder in our house when Rufus decided to start howling at it. :hilarious: My dogs are such basket cases in storms anyways and the hail really had them all messed up. Waiting for daylight to go look at my truck and see if it has any damage. Ugh!

[Troubadour]

Ugh, I hope your truck is okay, Willie!

[thelongrun]

How's the weather? What a good Q. Recently 3 Days' cold records were broken with 0°C and -5°C in Town, a few Days later, 1 more record was broken, but by hot- heat with 36°C or something. We have a saying here

Febrero loco y marzo otro poco

Meaning Crazy (weather) february and march a little bit more

Oh it's january, well, the Earth is changing folks:eyebrow:

Any ways, I love this time of Year. Next August we'll be 48°C:brickwall:

[zeldabjr]

wow...can't believe it's 58 here at 8:30 at night!...that's shorts weather here!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Speaking of crazy weather - a few days ago it was in the 20's and snowing here ... today it was 76°.

[Grey Sadler]

Argh...storms are coming tomorrow...probably during the time our buses start running in the afternoon...and possibility of snow after?? :nahnah:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

windy and freeking cold again but thank gd no snow

[Grey Sadler]

We had a 2-hour delay this morning due to a combination of yesterday's heavy rains/flooding and possibility of ice...I know we haven't had a delay like that in at least 5 years (either on regular schedule or called off completely)...

Snow's lookin' like it wants to cycle through overnight...we'll see what we get at around 5:30AM...

[TimothyBFan]

Have I said how much I dislike snow, cold and winter? I'm so over this crap. About 10 inches of lake effect snow since yesterday afternoon and still coming down and snow in the forecast the next 7 days. Oh, and did I mention it's 1 degree with wind chills at 15 below this morning? Ugh!!!!

[Troubadour]

It's been milder here lately, but quite rainy and windy!

[Brooke]

Wow, TBF! You do get a lot of snow! :shock:

We have the cold (3 degrees and windchill of about 12 below), but sunny skies and wind this morning! Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

cold and sunny but it snowed this am

[Grey Sadler]

No snow in my neighborhood, but other areas got it...
Ice and very low wind chills (and lots of overnight wind!)...our superintendent wisely called off school at 5:30 AM...

[zeldabjr]

Willie...you're making me glad I live in Buffalo!...not nearly that bad here!..keep your chin up...spring will be here soon!

[TimothyBFan]

For the love of God----will it ever stop?!?!?!?

No school again today. It's been snowing nonstop for days now and expecting another 5-10 inches today (can't ever tell around here-just depends on how the wind blows off the lake). You could still see the path hubby blowed for our dog Pickles (he's low profile). This morning, it's gone.

Here's a picture from yesterday morning out my back dining room window (I was NOT going outside!). It snowed all day yesterday, quit for a few hours over night and started again this morning around 5 and hasn't stopped so add about another 10 inches or so. Ugh!! And this is still a mild winter for us here. We average over 120 inches a year here.

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e136/williehoo/Backyard2-4-13_zps4e47e00a.jpg

[Brooke]

Wow, Willie! :shock: I guess the lakes really have quite an 'effect' on you there! Good grief!

My measly 2 or 3 inches here and there doesn't quite compare! :lol:

[Grey Sadler]

I got a nice Super Bowl treat during 2nd quarter when I got the text message saying we were out TODAY...it is above freezing now but a chance of some other precip coming through tonight...ack ack ack...

[sodascouts]

I don't envy the amount of snow you're getting, Willie, but it would be nice to have some down here in Memphis. I miss it.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

I got a nice Super Bowl treat during 2nd quarter when I got the text message saying we were out TODAY...it is above freezing now but a chance of some other precip coming through tonight...ack ack ack...
wow Amy...nice to get the day after the super bowl off lol
we had a dusting last night and are extecting a cople inches tomorrow(sure cause I cleaned the windows of the car at the gas station ...something I never do..lol

cold cold cold...i could not get warm in work today ..lol had on a ong sleeve shirt and scrub top and lab coat and a sweater ....do u think I was cold ???? (Not allowed to wear regular sweaters on the floor has to be scrubs )

[Topkat]

It is still really cold here too, but no snow, thank goodness.
I freeze outside, but my office is a hot box. It is so warm in there it makes me so tired that I need a nap about 3:00. Too bad that won't be happening.
On my way home, it's freezing....I have to walk about 4 blocks in the wind when I get off the train. It's just so windy here, so it just makes it much colder.
I'm so tired of getting all bundled up....When is it going to warm up??? I've had enough of this!!:-x:-x:-x

[zeldabjr]

I'm sick of snow, boots, gloves, salt stains on everything, and cleaning off my car all the time!

[TimothyBFan]

I'm sick of snow, boots, gloves, salt stains on everything, and cleaning off my car all the time!

Don't get me started!!!!!

No snow overnight for the first time in 9 days BUT it's suppose to start again this afternoon for a few more inches. And to top it all off this morning, we have freezing fog and so all the schools are on a 2 hour delay. I'm just waiting for the fire and brimstone which I'm sure is coming soon because we've been getting it all lately.

[Brooke]

Take cover Willie! :hilarious:

freezing fog???
like I said I'll take Buffalo...today it's sunny!...and no wind...really quite nice for Feb...

[Brooke]

We've had freezing fog here before too. It's actually really beautiful! Everything is covered with ice crystals. Rather slick to drive on though!

[TimothyBFan]

Yeah, I'll take snow over the freezing fog. Not only can you not see but you can't tell if the roads are icy (which they usually are).

School on time this morning and no snow in forecast for today. Tomorrow is a different story with snow, rain, freezing rain and back to snow forecast. Then a warm up and rain this weekend. We'll see how long that last. Ought to be fun when the 2 feet of snow starts melting with the rain. May need a boat.

[Tiffanny Twisted]

ooh I will say a prayer.

we are expecting "wind swept snow' or rain. on friday.Guess the temp is the key
Guess I can use a personal day lol

[TimothyBFan]

Just wanted to pop in and tell all of you out there about to get that blizzard, Zelda, Topkat, VA, etc..........

STAY SAFE!!!!!

This sounds like one heck of a storm. Just what all of you need that haven't recovered from Sandy yet.

[Brooke]

Yes, everyone out east that may be affected, be safe! Sounds like it's gonna be a biggun! 2 feet for Boston?! Yikes!

I'm far enough south that we should get an inch or less of snow/sleet tonight, then it'll turn to rain. HH, however, will need to batten down the hatches...

[Topkat]

Well, I'm preparing for a bad day of snow, wind, & blizzard conditions.
I just hope I can leave work early today because I usually work until 6 & it is expected to be really bad by then. :worried:

[prayfordaylight]

Stay safe up north. Wish we were getting it here.

I was supposed to drive to NJ tonight. Don't think that trip is going to happen at all now.

[zeldabjr]

I don't think we're supposed to get much of anything from this...not compared to what they're forecasting farther east!...Be careful everyone!!!

it's rainy, windy and 38 here right now!!

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Yep - crossing my fingers that all of you Borderers affected by the blizzard will stay safe and comfortable. You are in my thoughts cause I don't envy you right now. :grouphug:

[Henley Honey]

So far, so good. It's been mostly rain all day, though it is starting to change over to snow now. They expect it to be bad starting about 6 PM and really bad overnight. :fear: We are expecting a foot -- maybe a foot and a half. I'm PRAYING we don't lose power but its very probable with 60+ mph winds. With Hurricane Sandy we lost power for 10 days. If it's not back on by the 15th, I'll be driving to Virginia to see the History Of The Eagles on Showtime. Better get my room ready, VA!!!

Snowblower is gassed up. Phones are charged. Flashlights are ready. Fireplace is going. Wine is chilling. I'm as ready for the blizzard as I can be!

Stay safe, everyone!

Come on down!! Your room is always ready!

We got very little rain, which suits me because we are supposed to have high winds this evening and overnight and wet ground allows the trees to uproot and fall on power lines. I just read where there are 50,000 without power in Maryland due to wind. We are to get more rain tonight, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

That's Pepco for you.

[Topkat]

They told us to leave the office at about 2:00, so I'm home now. The ride home wasn't too bad, but it looked like a lot of people were leaving work early. It was snowing lightly, & sticking a little, but not too bad when I got home about 3pm. It was a little slippery & the wind is starting to pick up a little. They are expecting it to get bad about 6 to 7 pm, so I'm glad to be back in my warm apt.

[Henley Honey]

Getting kind of crazy now. Winds are howling and snow is falling about an inch an hour. Gonna be a LONG day tomorrow plowing out. :brickwall:

[Tiffanny Twisted]

keeping fingers crossed for all

[sodascouts]

take care, everyone!

[Glennhoney]

..awaiting the "monster snowstorm" here in the Maritimes....It's supposed to hit us overnight, tomorrow AND Sunday...:worried:....stocked up on chocolate!!!!...lol

Glad to see you have your priorities straight!

Here, the wind is much worse than they predicted.

[zeldabjr]

hope everyone made it through the storm ok...we got about 4 inches of snow...today's calm and no snow about 20 degrees

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Some of the neighbors lost power, but I didn't. Beautiful and sunny today, 47 degrees at the moment.

[Troubadour]

Cold and drizzly!

[GlennLover]

Still in the middle of the blizzard here! Winds are howling. I was talking to a friend who lost power at 10:00 this morning. There's a huge snowdrift in the driveway, the highest I've ever seen there. And hubby's away. :-(

GH, I stocked up on chocolate too, but it's already gone! :-(

Stay safe, everyone!

Sounds like you are making the best of it HH. I hope all the Borderers effected by these blizzards are safe. Thinking of you all

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Hope everyone is doing okay and digging out just fine. GL - I'm so sorry you had to brave the blizzard alone while hubby was away. Hope you made out okay.

[Henley Honey]

It's about 19 degrees today so whatever was not plowed or shovelled yesterday is an immovable iceberg today. We got about 18" which was manageable. My sister in Eastern Long Island got 30" and it's a mess out there. Tomorrow is going to be rainy and 50 degrees so hopefully we'll have a little thaw going on.

I have a new appreciation and empathy for all the midwesterners who deal with blizzards and seemingly never-ending snowstorms all Winter long. I've got cabin fever after only two days! Here's to Spring!!!! Can't wait 'till the acacias are blooming!!!
