Christmas Countdown - 2012

[merrymistletoe]

Good afternoon, everyone!

I need to get back to work. But, I thought I would stop by real quick. It's a dreary day in Ottawa. The good part? Temperatures are at around double digits again. While walking to work this morning, I also noticed that there is basically no more snow - only banks from plows, shoveling, etc. Also, the forecast for the next few days has changed and there should be no fluttering snow. Hooray! Maybe this early Spring will stay in Ottawa?

The gym last night was fun. Just as I was finishing, about four or five friends came in for their workouts. It's always good to see friends/teammates training hard, too. Although I'd like a night off, I think I may be heading to Carleton tonight for another workout. Tomorrow will be my off evening. Even after two days in a row - working a few different things, of course - I am still feeling quite refreshed.

Well, I should get back to work. Glad to see that everyone is in bright spirits today. There is only a couple more hours left in my day and then there will only be one remaining day before the weekend!

Have a great Thursday, everyone! The weekend is only a day and a half away! Oh, and our next milestone is closing in, too!

brent this may sound silly but what is it that you are training for. hockey? take care of that back!!

cah, do you know if the docs have talked to her about the surgery & the results? isn't leaving already a bit sudden?

We talked briefly and she said she should be on today to update you all. They were going to keep her for several days but she is doing so good they are letting her leave and she will have help at home to take care of her. She really sounded good!

My parents came over and it was very warm outside. They were wearing short sleeved shirts. 10 minutes later they stepped back out and it's cold, that north wind is blowing! It started out in the upper 60's and quickly falling into the mid 40's. Gotta love Texas weather! :-D

I think Christmasstar turned those fans on high in our direction. Thanks! =)

I remember once when we lived near Dallas, a cold front was coming through and the news was reporting a 30 degree temp difference from the west side to the east side of town.

I remember once when we lived near Dallas, a cold front was coming through and the news was reporting a 30 degree temp difference from the west side to the east side of town.

I have seen that before. Another time my cousin had come over to pick up her kids that we were babysitting. She was only over for about 10 minutes and it was nice outside at the time. We happen to have the news on and they were showing a thermometer and just in that 10 minutes we watched the temps drop almost 30 degrees! We were not prepared for it and no one had a coat on. That north wind was frigid! It's weird!

 

[Christmas-A-Holic]

mgramsey, I just wonder if we are talking about the same cold front? Did this happen in the early 80's? Did that 30 degree difference finally move across all of Dallas?

Another weird one was either 1987 or 1988 in late March. It was very sunny and warm during the early part of the day. I even have pictures of an outdoor birthday party I went to and got a sunburn. That night the temperatures dropped and we got a lot of snow. The weather was so bad they had to shut down the schools the next day. Did you live in Dallas at that time?

All this talk of cold and snow makes me want to hear a Christmas song, maybe watch a movie! =)

Hi thanks thats a really good one tells you time, temperture and lots more

We used to have about six clocks on the main forum page showing all the various time zones which told everyone what time it was everywhere else.

It never helped - for some reason, people still couldn't get it!!!!!!!!

Well I didn't get anything done today. I had lots of plans but I took 2 benadryl and fell asleep instead. I guess there is always tomorrow.

No, I really meant it when I said, "thanks"! I am loving this cooler weather. We have not had any kind of winter this year. It's nice!!! It will be nice and chilly for several days. Keep those fans going! =)
