Christmas Countdown - 2015

[snowflake22]

That's pretty much what I heard on the radio a short while ago. There are about 23,000 without power on the South Shore and Cape. We are not so near the coast, so we have power and about 14 inches of snow so far. Can't open the back storm door, and after a few more inches we won't be able to open the front storm door, either. The wind is wild out there. The peak of the storm is to last for a few hours yet, but snow will continue through the wee hours at less intensity. Wish I could relax and enjoy it, but I have to work from home today.

Take good care!

Thank you!
We're doing well. About an hour ago we had 19 inches of snow, and it's still falling. Our friend who plows us out was by about 4 a.m. and is back now. We left a bag lunch for him in our mailbox for overnight and called his cellphone to let him know it was there. Now Mr. is fixing him and his helper some microwave beef stew and some sandwiches to take with them. I wish I'd thought of doing that years ago---he really appreciated having a quick bite to eat when he's working for so long without rest. So if you know your plow guy, fix him a sandwich!

Good morning mmc! it's wimpy 30F outside this morning...but still I had to jack the heat up to 72F. Now I am about to head back to bed since the boys ate breakfast and want a nap time! Hope everyone has a great morning..hope you all have power..that storm looks crazy on the sattalite loop!

Good afternoon, dawg!
Hope you got a good rest in!
Have a great day!

Good morning MMC! Happy Tuesday!



Seems the weather is the news of the day. Hope you all are safe & warm & enjoying it! Candles burning, fire going, & relaxing! :cry:



Not much going on here today. Last night was pretty uneventful. Stopped at Mom & Dads after work. Dad is in good spirits, so that's a very good thing. We had leftovers for supper, so that was easy. I watched Maid In Manhatten on tv. That's about it. I'm freezing at work for some reason today ~ might have to bump up the thermostat a degree!



Have a great day everyone!

Happy Tuesday, Holiday!!
Glad Dad is in good spirits [emoji172]
Stay warm & have an awesome day!

Good Morning! I'm being a slacker this morning. I woke up at 5 am, got up, looked out the window and saw that everything was covered with snow again. So, I turned off the alarm clock and went back to bed.... I didn't wake up till 9:30. I had remote logged into the offices computer and had signed out this morning till noon.

So, looks like we did get a few of the Nor'easter storm snow bands to wrap around and linger over central Maryland early this morning while everyone was in bed sleeping. I guess it looks like about 3 inches outside total...

I'm going to drink another cup of coffee, then get dressed and go fire up the tractor and clear the road out.....

Have a good morning. My thoughts are with all of you in the path of the blizzard, stay safe.:sparkle:

Glad you are working remotely!
Enjoy the pretty snow!
Stay warm, and have a great day, friend!

Ok, the road is cleared and salted, car cleaned off, sidewalk shoveled and sitting here actually having that 2nd cup of coffee... I guess I'll give it a few more minutes and then I suppose, Ugggh (the arm behind my back), go into the office....

I'd rather stay home, prop my feet up in front of the fireplace and make a bed out of that position for awhile.....

Enjoy that coffee!!
I misunderstood & thought you were home for the day.
Drive safe!!

Hope you all are staying safe! My brother in cape cod said it's blowing 60 mph & they got 12" of snow, with another 12 in coming in the next 24 hours. He said so far they still have power, but much of the cape is out. Hoping they can keep their power. Scary!

Be careful gang!

Yum - soup sounds good!! Have a great day!

Thanks Holiday. Sending up prayers for your brother ~
I hope you have a great day too!

Good Afternoon, MMC!!!!! I'm glad to see that everyone is safe and sound so far in the northeast!!!! I hope you can all get dug out soon!!! It's going to be a chilly day here with a high around 30 degree's. We met with the rep from the lawyers office this morning and signed the papers for them to appeal mom's disability ruling. He said the first appeal usually only takes 4 to 5 weeks to hear back on. It runs about 94% denials though. Then the second appeal is in front of a judge and can take almost a year to get a date. So hopefully she will be one of the 6% that gets approved on the first review because I can't really afford to support her for another 12 to 14 months. I have a few things to do and then I will be back to get caught up. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!

Good Tuesday afternoon, buddy!
Glad all went well today~
At least you know what to expect.
Keeping you both in my prayers, hoping things get expedited quickly.
Stay cozy & have a great day!

That's a great idea MerryCarey, such a thoughtful thing to do.

Good morning!
Still sick and still in my bed.
Wonder if I can ask Thomas for a coffee..
Maybe not. He has his hands full with
the kids getting them ready for school.

Hope everyone is safe and warm
during this awful weather over there
You are in my thoughts and prayers[emoji173]️

I hope you feel better soon, Solice!!!!! Glad you got that coffee!!!

Merry Morning all.

I am tired.

Just dropped Jacob to school. There was a special assembly this morning to hand out achievement awards and he got one for is math progress. I am glad he made it in after being off for the past few days. I am now getting ready to take Isaac to the Doctor in a bit. He had a terrible night. I thought he was improving. Our doctor's office is around the corner from our house so luckily it takes literally a minute to get there.

have a good day everyone. Sorry I am behind on posts. Hope everyone safe through the storms. It's heading our way.

Congrats to Jacob!!!

I hope the Doctor gave Isaac something to get him back to feeling good soon!!

Hope you guys stay safe, Festive!!!

Good Morning, buddy~
Good luck with your meeting this morning!
Praying all goes well [emoji169]

Thankfully we did not lose power. My area has a snowfall total of about 20 inches so far. The snow is still falling and is supposed to continue through the afternoon so I'm sure we're looking at a few more inches. It's still windy out there and the snow is swirling around, looks like a snowglobe. The travel ban has just been lifted but they're urging people to stay home since the roads remain dangerous. So glad we can just relax and stay in today!

I hope the snow stops soon and that you guys stay safe!!! I hope the digging out doesn't take to long!!!!

Enjoy your day with the family and I hope you start to feel better soon, HMG!!!!!

Hope you all are staying safe! My brother in cape cod said it's blowing 60 mph & they got 12" of snow, with another 12 in coming in the next 24 hours. He said so far they still have power, but much of the cape is out. Hoping they can keep their power. Scary!

Praying your brother is staying safe and that he still has power!!!!

Well, the rain has stopped but it's turning colder.
Mild considering what is happening to the northeast, but chilly for us.
Today has begun at 33 degrees here in the central NC part of MMC.

Have a Terrific Tuesday and keep warm and safe, Everyone!

Have a great day, Crown!!!

Glad to hear that you are starting to make progress!!! I hope the next week flies by for you!!!! I was in that boot for 10 weeks and it was terrible!!! I hope physio won't be necessary!!! Enjoy the rest of your day, Star!!!

Good morning MMC! Happy Tuesday!

Glad to hear that you guys are still doing okay!!! That is very sweet of you guys to take care of your plow driver like that!!!! I usually just throw snowballs at our maintenance man when he is out plowing. LOL!!!
