Good evening, MMC!

The cold is definitely here - brrrr! Every time I check the forecast it says the cold will be around even longer - I'm done checking!!! Not much going on here. I baked raspberry, chocolate chip muffins and gingerbread cookies today, partly to warm up the kitchen. It didn't take long to finish my chores so the rest of the evening I can work on some craft projects and possibly finish the book I am currently reading.

Be warm and safe! MERRY dreams!

I should stop getting on facebook or unfollow all of the weathermen at least!!! LOL!!!

Your muffins and cookies sound delicious!!!

Enjoy your evening and stay warm and safe too, Meceka!!!

Good evening, MMC!!

It has been a busy day off! I much prefer the relaxing ones!
Between doctor appointments, lab work, grocery shopping, and laundry, I am beat! :grin:

Looking forward to sleeping in & chilling out tomorrow!

Speaking of chilling out, it is brutally cold out there. The winds have picked up, and the snow has begun. I don't think we are supposed to get more than a couple inches overnight, but we are supposed to get snow every day for the rest of the week.

I think a movie and a fire are in order!

Hope you're all staying safe, cozy, and warm tonight. Hope those who are sick start feeling better soon~

Take care, friends!

xx

You were super busy today!
A movie and a fire sound perfect, especially on a chilly night. Keep warm and stay safe Snowflake. I hope you have a relaxing night!

I'm glad the cough medicine is helping a bit - praying the meds start working so that there is definite improvement. I hope you are better, too! {{{HUGS}}}

Thank you so much Meceka!

Snow should begin here shortly---we're expecting about 8 to 10 inches between this afternoon and tomorrow afternoon. Happily, we can use our judgment about leaving early tonight and driving to the office tomorrow, so if it's as bad as they expect, I will be able to work from home tomorrow.

Stay safe out there, it is pretty bad here right now.

That "coldest air yet?" at the end scares me!!! We had a high of -13 the other week!!!

At least you get something to look forward too. cheesy

Our latest weather updates-

"There's growing concern for a "stronger" clipper to move through Indiana and Ohio on Saturday. While the exact track is still a little uncertain, another moderate accumulating snow event is looking more and more likely.
The bigger concern is this clipper could bring 35-45 mph winds with it and that could lead to major blowing and drifting and whiteout conditions.
If you have travel plans on Saturday, stay tuned for the latest information."

"New model indications that our cold and Northwesterly flow type pattern with clippers and lots of arctic air will continue through at least the first week of February. I don't normally post long range model data but the idea is that that our extremely cold pattern stays in place through at least the 5th or 6th of February if not longer. This week will be cold but next week will be colder. And we will keep adding snow to the snowpack due to the clippers. And temperatures will not get above freezing for the next 10 days so the snow isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Blowing and drifting will continue to be a problem as strong gusty winds typically develop behind each of the clippers.
As of right now we are tracking a clipper tomorrow evening and tomorrow night (1-2" of snow North of I-70). Another clipper on Friday Night and Saturday (track and amounts to be determined), another clipper Sunday Night and Monday and another Tuesday of next week."

I am so running away!!!!

I hope they're wrong!

Thank you all for the well wishes for My wife and daughter. It's going to be an early bed time tonight for them and I think I may turn in early as well, when they do.

If I don't make it back on, goodnight! Tomorrow is the Pines, and I just realized this Saturday will be the 25th. We are almost a month removed from Christmas 2013 which means Christmas 2014 is that much closer!

As the morning progressed, I realized that, yes, I do have either a sinus infection, cold or both. Probably sinus infection because my whole face hurts now, especially my jaw! TTYL

I hope you are feeling better.

I just can't imagine - 15" of snow!!! It sounds beautiful...as long as everyone is safe & or need of anything! Hope you stay safe & warm & can enjoy it!

15 inches is tough, but three years ago we got over 30 inches in one storm, here are some pictures of that storm:
