Christmas Countdown - 2014

made582 · Feb 14, 2014

Mother Nature must not have liked her Christmas gifts or something-

Here's a look at your weather headlines. It's going to be a roller coaster ride of weather over the next two weeks. The snow will continue today with 2-4" of snow possible across Southern Indiana and 1-2" of snow possible across Central Indiana and Western Ohio. Light snow will again be possible on Saturday Night with another inch possible across most of Indiana and Western Ohio.

Warmer temperatures will arrive next week but with the warmer temperatures will come concerns for flooding, fog development and thunderstorms. In fact there are some indications we could be dealing with strong to severe storms by the end of next week.

And if all of that isn't bad enough, it looks like our warm-up will only be temporary. By the first of March a cold and winter like pattern looks to return to the Ohio Valley.

It didn't last too long, thank heaven. But we're still supposed to get about 4 to 6 inches tomorrow. :-?

That's not much to look forward to ... Maybe they'll be wrong.

TGIF, my Christmas friends!

And Happy Valentine's Day!

Nancy and I don't really celebrate V-Day, but we do things for the kids, and we're having dinner with her sister & BIL tonight. We got the kids some candy and a copy of Despicable Me 2. I'm looking forward to seeing that one. :wink:

I've been waiting impatiently for a few weeks to find out if I get the promotion I've been discussing with my boss. I know he wishes I'd quit hanging out around his office door...LOL. I might even get a Valentine's Day kiss if I came home with a raise! Maybe one day he'll tell me.

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Hope you get the promotion, friend!! Fingers crossed!!

Have a great weekend!!

Boo!!

Stay safe, buddy.

Greetings from the North Pole! Oh wait, no.. just Pennsylvania!

I don't know how much we gto yesterday but with it piled on the large amount we had prior.. wowza. A LOT of snow out there! Another snow day for Jude today. No Valentine's party... so maybe well bake some Valentine's cookies instead.

Happy Valentine's Day!

I'm sorry there's not going to be a Valentines party, that stinks! Baking sounds like a great idea, have fun!

Well with 4 inches of snow, it is now the snowiest Valentine's day ever in Indianapolis. 2 more inches and we break the all time snowiest winter record!!!

Thank you everyone for the prayers!!!

Chico got good/bad news. Good news - I got to bring him home and they brought the swelling down. The swelling was causing him not to be able to lay down and he was up for over 24 hours and exhausted. He is finally laying down now and asleep! The bad news is his heart has enlarged more but as long as he still has a little spunk in him and can eat we will just take it one day at a time. He does have a fantastic appetite and so alert! I am happy about that. Keep the prayers coming that he continues to feel well!

I am sorry that I haven't had time to read your daily post, I am just having a very busy day but wanted to let you all know what is going on.

Chico's a tough little fella! !!!

the joys of time travel! Hope you make it through alright

LOL I like thinking of it as time travel rather than than jet lag.

Wow!!!! What a snowstorm.... We ended up getting around 15-16 inches+ out of it and I had drifts of 38 -42 inches deep out in my driveway and in the front yard. It took me all afternoon until 30 minutes ago to snow blow my driveway and I still did not finish it. My neighbor came over with his front end loader and did the entire top of my driveway because that was about five feet deep up there (due to the snow plows).

I'm exhausted....Sore and I over did it a little out there because I'm bleeding again... I'm going to rest up a little bit because it is snowing its butt off again and I just heard we are supposed to get another 5-6 more inches of snow tonight. Looks like more shoveling and snow blowing for tomorrow morning... But I love all this!

I'm sitting here on the couch, leg propped up with an ice pack on my knee (because that hurts too - middle age stinks...) watching the snow falling outside while a crackling fire is roaring in the fireplace. find it so relaxing watching the snow falling outside....:rudolph::

Sorry... bleeding? Blisters?

(Whiner alert!)
Thank you, everyone! It's been a crummy day. Last time I worked from home there were no jobs. Today they were nonstop. I took a break to fix lunch---I HAD to do a grilled cheese in the waffle iron, after those posts this morning. While it was in, our friend/plow guy rang the doorbell, so I had to yank it out half-done while I chatted with him and paid. I didn't have time to make a new one, so I stuck it back in the waffle iron, and it turned out so-so. Then more wall-to-wall work until shortly after 5 p.m., when I went out in the rain to shovel a space in the driveway so Mr. can get in when he gets home. My car is snowed in tight. The snow is ankle-deep in the driveway AND the street. The unofficial total here is 9 inches, with a couple more expected tonight in the "backlash" of the storm. Mr. wanted to catch an earlier train home, but they told him to wait, they might have overtime work for him. :? I'm so wound up from the day I can't begin to unwind.

And they think we could have another 6"+ snowstorm this weekend. I'm ready to cry.

I know others are having a worse day than me. I'm just tired and cranky and whiny right now.

I understand!!!
