Harlowe still despises her coat, but at least we can get her to wear it now. We have to chase her to get it on sometimes, though!

I took this picture when I was shoveling earlier. When my daughter was in preschool she brought this teeny tiny tree home in a coffee can. We planted it in the front yard ages ago and this is what it looks like now. It's grown quite a bit!

Beautiful tree, it looks like it would be a perfect Christmas tree.

Well my wife was home sick today and I left the office early to pick my daughter up and take her to the doc. They both have the same thing. My wife is on the mend though so by week's end all should be back to normal.

Hope you all are doing great!

I hope they both feel better.

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!!!!

Now you know how Santa feels. cheesy

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!

Goodnight, Ryan!!!!

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

I am over 6 feet tall, that is the snowbank after I was done shovelling, it was as tall as me!

That is just nuts!!

Good evening,

I am still feeling lousy, at this point I don't know if I will be going to work again tomorrow. I think it is time to call the doctor, figure out what is going on. The ignition switch on the old car is going, it just won't start in the cold. I finally did the research on the car and it has something to do with GM not using a cold rated grease on the ignition switch. It is a big problem on the 2003-04 models but was never recalled because it isn't a safety issue. I think being stuck in car that won't start in the cold is a safety issue. Thank goodness for YouTube, I should be able to fix it myself after watching some videos on it.
I probably should head to bed soon, I have got to beat this bug.

I may pop in again, before I actually going to sleep, but if I don't...

Good night, everyone.

I'm sorry that you're still feeling lousy

Hope you are on your way to being on the mend, buddy.

Bummer about the car, when it rains it pours. YouTube is amazing, hope you can get it fixed.

I hope that you sleep well & feel much better soon

((Hugs))
