Juju2bigdog is innocent!!!

well, it did start raining and turning cold while we had breakfast on Sunday............


You may be just fine driving on icy roads, but these Texans are not. Staying in your nice warm and cozy digs

exactly Grace and that's why I don't need a heavy winter coat!!!

Juju's affecting the weather all over the country from Texas!!!!! We need to wrap her in some bubble wrap or give her an aluminum foil hat or something!

Sis called to ask if she could come do some laundry later. Even though bil fixed the pipes and wrapped them she woke up this morning to having everything frozen solid. The only thing he can figure out is that while he wrapped the exposed pipes the ones underground probably aren't wrapped (I know when our neighbor came over to help with ours, none of them were either...luckily Darren was already in the process of doing some pipe work and had dug most of them up by then.)

Juju2bigdog is NOT innocent. Unusual weather followers her EVERYWHERE!!!!!! Juju please don't come to Mississippi. I don't think i could take it. We are not "predicted" to get anything during this cold spell unless Juju decides to come to Arkansas to see Mama!!

Sleet again now. We are not going anywhere. I called the dentist and left a message that it appeared to be unlikely we will be able to get out of our driveway tomorrow for our morning appointments.

I might have done that a few years ago, Rosie, when snow was still fun to me. Now I don't go out in it if at all possible. I'll always be a FL girl. LOL

Sounds like me Twinks...I like snow. While I'm watching it on tv or seeing it in pictures, lol.

I picked the kids up from school today, not only was most the blacktop frozen over but about half the class rooms had broken pipes and flooded. They doubled up classes where they could and sent others to the cafeteria and the library for today at least while the janitor tried to clean it up. They're hoping to have everyone back in their own classrooms tomorrow.

There is now at least a half inch of ice on the roads ... and more to come ... it looks so pretty and white, sort of like snow, but it is much deadlier ...

All this weather across the country is just plain wierd....and scary! Are we entering an ice age or what? And why is it like this when I just recently read an article that last year was the warmest on record (or something to that effect).

ladytex, stay in if you can! the weatherman here said last night that you all are getting storm(s) similar to ours! they are dangerous! there are still a reported 10,000 customers without electricity here! fortunately, our roads never became slick. it's strange, but i am thankful.

work is still shut down this morning...sigh. they told everyone to come in at 10 (the phone lines are still down) and we would work until 8pm. grrrrr. but i can't complain, i need the money, and don't want to work all weekend.

oh, and trust me when i say we have all tried to get paid for the missed time, but it just ain't happening. and on top of that, the bonus that we were on target for, is performance-based through the whole plant - it's not an individual thing. it has to do with return on assets, and it relates to many different aspects. hard to explain, but in my own way, i understand it. thanks for your sympathy, though!

btw, i uploaded pictures of this mess to walmart.com, and as soon as i figure out how to share them with the public, i will post a link....i'm too lazy to re-size them.

Are people having cold winters in general? This is a system....and could have to do with a change in the jet stream, or some other atmospheric switch. We're having a warm winter. Well, not a warm week this week (it's 3° outside right now, wind chill -11°), but in general. Upper 40°s through most of December is not right in Wisconsin.

I def. don't think it's getting to be an ice age- if it is, let the polar bears on Hudson Bay know since they've been struggling with late freezes and early ice breakups that are starving them. Also, let the geese that are STILL in the park here know cause they were supposed to be gone a long time ago. And the black bears here that haven't gone into hibernation.

Yesterday, here in Portland, Oregon, we had 4" of "flurries" and "a light dusting". Was stuck in my house because it started as ice where I live. Going to try to get to work today, but they're again calling for "flurries" and based on their track record, I'm afraid of getting stranded.

Wow Jbean. Those are incredible pictures!

OK, so maybe we're not in an ice age yet. But it sure feels like it here! I don't know how we'll ever see the ground again! Oh well, I guess that would save on having to mow the lawn!

Did you take them down? This is what I get when I try to look-

There seems to be a problem with the email address you typed in. Please check the address and try again.

Nevermind- I just had to type it in- I think I copied and pasted with a space before the start of the email address or something....

Looks bad- I have to admit though that I have always thought ice storms were pretty. maybe the trees here are more tolerant of ice cause I don't see that, or maybe it was just a really bad storm, but I love driving past ice covered trees (especially with snowall around)- they look like glass. Or that one frost that coats everything and is kinda shaggy. There's a name for it but I can't think of it.

Those pictures are just eerie, Jbean, especially the ones at your mom's house.

Ice seems to be melting here in the rain this morning. Bigdog walked the one tenth mile up the driveway to see if we got a newspaper. We didn't. He says we won't be able to get out of the driveway because of trees iced over and hanging down too low. This will be our third day home alone iced in at the ranch. I am so thankful the power stayed on.
