Christmas Countdown - 2014

[snowflake22]

Good Monday morning, my Christmas friends!

What a busy weekend we had. I was up at 8AM with a local electrician and his bucket truck, taking down the city Christmas lights & banner from the power poles. After I had those stacked away properly (by myself), I took down the Nativity scene from our train depot, and stacked it away. Then I went home and took down our Christmas decorations. It took all day to get Christmas down, but the deed is done.

I'm still finding pine needles throughout the house, after rassling the tree outside, but that's usual.

It's supposed to get down in the teens today! It's so unusual this far south and this close to the coast, there'll be a little panic. I was in Bernie's store this morning, and it was the talk of the town. LOL

I have a city council meeting tonight. I better stop by City Hall this afternoon and pump up the heat before the meeting!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

You had a busy weekend!

Stay safe & warm, Brad!!

Good Morning, MMC!!

Happy Monday ️

Oh my!! Current temperature..yikes

I am looking forward to starting the week with a day off! So glad that I don't have to leave the house today.

I have some decorating projects that I plan to work on, and some laundry calling my name. Other than that, I will be here with my Christmas family, chatting away, and staying warm =]

Hope you all stay safe & have a blessed day~

Good Morning MMC!!!!!! It's going to be a frigid day here with a high of -5. We are currently at -15 with a wind chill of -40. Brrr!!! I just went out and started my mom's car and let it warm up for awhile. It protested and didn't want to do it but I won in the end. They are saying the winds are going to get stronger as the day goes on so I'm going to stay inside as much as possible. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!

Good morning! I awoke here this morning at 4:45am to a temperature of 40 degrees and since I've been here at work, it's already down to 34 degrees and dropping. It looks like that cold blast is starting to make it's way or should I say, push it's way here...

I just don't know what it is about being where I moved to, but I had another ice event yesterday/ last night. I left the house in the van with my wife and daughter, when I got down our street to end, it's a hill. I started down the hill, slowly, and that was it, I completely lost control of the van. Lisa starts yapping at me about driving so close to the shoulder of the road, and I said it's not me but the momentum of the van. I was not driving it, it was driving us.....

We slid down and around a curve without hitting the guardrail or driving off the road; about 75 feet. I ended up at the bottom of the hill, in the other lane of traffic (with no other car in sight)... I had to pull over and recollect myself, and check my drawers just to make sure I didn't have an accident in them.....

There was this light mist falling at the time, it was foggy and the road was just cold enough where it started freezing up; black ice....it about scared the beagebees out of me~ I drove the rest of the way on pins and needles until I got back home.

Between that and the Packers losing, esh, what a crappy night! At least there was one good thing, by the grace of god, I didn't hit anything or anyone. I never want to go thru that again~

This is my biggest fear with this weather. That is why I haven't been letting my girls drive with all of this ice. I can't even imagine how scared you must have been. Thank God you are alright. Sending prayers, stay safe xmastidings.

Hope you settle back into your routine without any hiccups. Although I imagine this weather must be causing some trouble. Stay safe!

Thank you Sam!

10 degrees here in north Texas. First full week of the year. Really dreading the nest few months as we try to close out our boring business without losing to much skin. The boys still have another week before they head back to college. They are only 3 hours away and one or both of them usually comes home every weekend but its not the same. For several weeks leading up to Christmas I mentally kick things down the road that aren't important now it's time to take care of those things. I'll be looking forward to the milestones a little more this year. Stay warm everyone.

Thanks, Slim!! Keeping you in my thoughts.

We have you beat...here in Oklahoma it's only 7 degrees. Quit complaining about the balmy 10 degrees you have!

Just kidding...Stay warm, neighbor!

I have just been watching the news about the severe weather in the US! That is some seriously cold temperatures! I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers! Please keep safe and warm!

We have not had any snow here in these parts and there doesn't seem to be any on the way either. It is cold but not freezing. It is raining a lot and we are having very strong gales, nothing that isn't tolerable though.

Stay safe in those storms!!!!

Good morning!
We have a dense fog advisory this morning. The ice has melted with the warmer temperatures but it will get colder as the day goes on. We are bracing ourselves for record breaking cold temperatures for Tuesday and Wednesday. Boo!
I am getting back to my normal routine this morning. Typical day of errands and chores. I also need to pick up that salt, everything will be a sheet of ice by this evening.
I hope everyone is safe and warm and has a wonderful day!

Stay safe in the fog!!!

Good morning MMC! Hope you all stay warm today...this cold is crazy!

First full work week after the holidays. I need some of Carl's special blend!

Good Morning, First Monday Friends!

Yes, indeedy.
It is the first Monday of the new year and the begining of our first full week.

And we are greeted by the following interesting facts:
Days to the Season: 311
Days to Christmas Day: 353

And as the count numbers reveal, we will find ourselves down to SINGLE DIGITS to 2014 Milestone #1 the day after tomorrow, that marker being the 300-day Season Window.
<< How can we be so far along, Crown? >>
Well, little voice, I can only say it's the magic and the beauty of the Season count!

Well, nice and warm here where we stand just over 58 degrees at this hour.
A light rain is falling but that's the least of our worries.
The weather service says we will botton out tonight at about 10 degrees, an all-time record low for the date.
(I'm definitely NOT looking forward to that!)

But regardless of your weather, you try hard to have a Marvelous Monday, OK?

Stay warm Crown and have a good day too!!!!
