Mak, sending him back inside was a no brainer. I saw him try to take down a small tree in the spring with a couple of friends (and the neighbor's little six-yer-old boy looking on), and I'll never for get the sight of these three guys (four if you count the guy-in-training!), all standing around, looking at the tree dangling on the electrical wires, trying to figure out what to do now. It was my civic duty to keep him away from a chainsaw. Cute as a button, but dumb as a rock...

Lol, Prisoner, some people just shouldn't be allowed to own dangerous tools! Csnog, whenever we had less than perfect weather in Florida last year, I would say "Yeah, but there's no ice on the ground!"

Well today we darn near do. I'm freezing but it was 30 degrees warmer two days ago. It's supposed to warm up by Sunday and the sun came out this afternnon. I had a good laugh. I went to the post office in winter jacket and the people comming out of McDonalds next door were in shorts. It's the McDonalds nearest the port so I guessed they were from the north and going to board a ship.

38 degrees here right now and we're under a wind advisory. It's been cold and breezy all day, never even got to 50. Weather report says rain/snow starting about 3am this morning and then on and off (both snow and rain) til Wednesday sometimes. Makes me very unhappy, I hate snow, but worse than that, I am supposed to take my aunt to two different drs appts this week and no way am I taking her out in snow and/or rain, especially since the first appt is a check up from her time in the hospital with pnuemonia!

BRRR! Very cold in Kansas. Hope we do not get the projected snow. Two of my sisters were going to take me to a play last week (belated birthday gift) and it got a bit icy so we changed the tickets to this Wed and it is to snow/ice again. One of the sisters went to Omaha today, hope she can make it back. I've wanted to see this play for a few years now, Tuna Christmas.

We've didn't get the snow, nor any rain. Been cold as can be and breezy. Weather report this morning said the storm was moving away from us, though I still see we're expecting some rain over the next few days and maybe snow Wed.

The temp continues to drop. Down to 17 now. It always amazes me when temps can drop so quickly!

here too- 40 yesterday, now it's 3 and we are to have -20 windchills today. I would complain, but this is my mom's forecast following the blizzard they had yesterday (Duluth, MN area): Tonight: Partly cloudy, with a low around -19. Wind chill values as low as -36. West wind between 5 and 15 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Tuesday: A 20 percent chance of snow after noon. Partly sunny and cold, with a high near -1. Wind chill values as low as -36. South wind around 5 mph. well, last night when I looked the windchill was set for -44. -36 is still awful.

crappy weather today. rain and not getting out of the mid 50s in LA. and to top it off, I decided that I was going to chill in front of the TV for at least a couple hours and have hot chocolate because of the weather and, of course, the cable is screwed up and I'm only getting local stations. No CNN or MSNBC. And I'm sure my recording of my workout show on FitTV got screwed up too. Gah! I wanna go back to bed.

Just checking in..we are getting heavy rain and at this time are under voluntary evacuation orders. I'm working from home today in case mandatory orders come through I can make a decision at that time.

-10 here last night. Poor dogs would go out to pee, and their paws would freeze so bad they would literally stop wherever they were and refuse to move. So I'd have to go fetch them and carry them in. Not Marley the lab tho. The other pups are finding him a bit annoying at the moment - as they're frozen in pain and he's bounding around and nipping at them trying to get them to play.

All the way up to -7 now Kar! LOL. Poor Gidget got snow stuck between her toes and I had to pick it out. She still wants to go out every time I get up and walk around, and I'm telling her sorry kid, only when you really need to go out!

Heh, not my two little ones. They have no desire to go out at all. I feel so bad for them, trying to hold one leg up and hop around, and then another, and finally they just give up 'cause all four little paws are stinging. I guess they need snow boots!

It's about 20 here in Portland,OR. We got about 3" of snow yesterday, not supposed to get above freezing all week, highs in the 20's, lows in the teens, with a nice east wind it feels like 4 degrees out there right now. We aren't used to this! We could get another round of good snow on Wednesday/Thursday and finish with a Ice Storm on Sunday, we'll see how that forecast holds up, but it could be an intersting week around here. Christmas vacation may have just started early for the kids!

Uh-oh Scoot! Stay safe! Jewels!! I know! I hate this freaking weather! My dil and two grandsons flew in from Minot, ND last night. My husband left Albany the same time their plane left Minneapolis. It's about 78 miles from here to the airport. My dil's airplane beat my husband by 1.5 hrs!! a 3 hr trip turned into a 7.5 hr trip, awful! I'm so glad they are all here, except me and hubs are at work, him with no sleep and me with 2.5 broken up sleep. I feel like I have a hangover.

8 below this morning, with -30 below wind chill, it's fricken cold. Yesterday during the day it was raining so we've got a frozen mess out there, although the roads didn't seem too bad this morning.

Yesterday, in my part of central MN (about 1 & 1/2 hrs from Jagger) we got snow & wind (around 3 inches or so) & some freezing rain. Wait for the snow plow to come, move the car, have the parking lot plowed, move the car back and try to chip the hard packed snow off the car. Today is very cold.
