Christmas Countdown - 2017

[CGYager]

Happy Sunday! Another bitter cold morning out there. And now the forecast officially for Monday night through Tuesday evening is for 12-18 inches of snow for my area. Yeah...not looking good at all. This may be a really short week at work then because if we get that much snow I will stay home on Tuesday and I am already off on Friday for Rollins 1st birthday and to have a 3 day weekend to welcome "spring". Spring where are you? Have a great day!

Monday morning greetings Edge. We did not get that much, but the white stuff has definitely made it's March appearance here in Sioux Falls (3"-5"). Enjoy the shorter week. Oh and King Brian said I should let you know that we still have that next week before our Spring is suppose to begin...
Have fun...

After lasts nights storm we have around 6" of snow with another storm coming.

Morning Gunny. Bundle up, keep warm and be glad you are not on maneuvers...

Good morning ~
Happy Sunday!
Today is my mothers 75th birthday. I'm throwing her a party later this afternoon. I need to finish my cup of coffee and get moving, lots to do!
We are expecting 12-18 inches of snow on Tuesday. I think I'm ready for Spring.
I would appreciate if you would send up a prayer for Maggie. I had to bring her to the animal hospital Friday night because she was struggling with her breathing. Another round of X-rays show significant collapsing of the trachea. Praying these meds can keep her comfortable.
I hope everyone is well and has a wonderful day!

Good Monday morning HMG. I hope your Mother's Special Day was a huge success. Your snowfall is going to be much higher than what we got, get your supplies and keep safe. My prayers for Maggie as well. I have been through the exact same situation. Take care...

Dang, 246 days until the season....amazing how fast the time ticks away....when we get into the 200's there will be signs of Christmas coming along....CIJ, Hobby Lobby will put out decorations....almost there!

We got a couple of inches of snow last night. Y'all, these were the biggest snowflakes I've EVER seen. It was amazing! Probably was the prettiest snowfall I've ever seen. Didn't last long and won't be around long today, but it was pretty to look at. Bambina kept saying is the Elsa's snow? Funny.

Today, my Hogs play Kentucky in the SEC finals. I'm supposed to cook Lasagna tonight, so I better get up and get going. Yall have a great day!

Greetings Ballcoach. Yes, the seasons seem to fly by lo these past many years. Sometimes it seems like I am putting decorations away just to get them out again. I knew a guy who actually maintained a Christmas Room all year long. He said the biggest drawback was on those four times a year when he had to remove the decorations for dusting.
Being originally from California, I remember my first "big flake" snowfall when I was stationed in Omaha. At one point, they were putting corn flakes to shame. Hope dinner and the game ended on a upbeat. Enjoy the week ahead...

It's been in the 50's all day! That's awesomely cool for us in March! And I think it's supposed to dip into the upper 20's one morning this week. WOWOW!!

What a coincidence... 20 is what we have right now. Morning Brad hope you enjoyed a relaxing weekend. We will be back into the 50's, but not before Thursday or Friday. Will do a little shoveling this AM, but the snow that fell was on the lighter side, so it should not take long.
Have a great week...

Happy Sunday almost heading into another work week!! Hope you all had a good weekend. Pretty quiet for me but that's ok. Just trying to stay warm and we have a blizzard watch..ugh! They are saying 12-18 inches of snow...I hope more for just the 12 or less...we'll see!

Happy Monday SnowflakeMom. Looks like the eastern portion of the USA is getting hit with a much higher accumulation than we got in the mid-west. Must be some of that moist input from the oceans and lakes. In any case, keep safe and hopefully (like us) the temps will change in the very near future to melt whatever you get.
Have a nice week...

We're also among those expecting about a foot of snow on Tuesday ... Winter Storm Warning and Blizzard Watch in effect. Gearing up for a day or two of working from home.

Merry Monday Merry. Okay, I know I'm not the first to say that...
So time for some crafting, cooking or is there another facet to your life that will occupy your working at home? I am glad when the winter snows hit that I only work a little over a mile away. In such cases even slower travel does not mean leaving home more than an extra ten or fifteen minutes.
Keep safe young lady and I'll pray your weather rebounds quickly. Maybe the snow will help produce a beautiful Spring in your yard...

Good evening,

A quick pop in tonight, been busy working and running around all weekend. We did see the Black Wolves win in impressive fashion against the team with the best record in the Eastern Conference, the Georgia Swarm. Next game is Friday Night against the Rochester Knighthawks.

Back to work tomorrow, gearing up for a big storm on Tuesday 12-18+ inches was the latest I've seen.Let it snow...


Goodnight, everyone

Morning Xmas. Seems like many of my MMC friends are in the path of this "last gasp of winter" storm. Congrats on your team's victory and be safe this work week...

Well CG all I can say is if we get as much snow as they are predicting (and the rest of the week looks pretty cold after that) that I hope the snow is all gone by Easter at this rate!

 

[Edge612]

Happy Monday! Just going to have a busy day at work and then basically watch the storm. Sounds like it's going to be terrible all day Tuesday. If it does then I'll just stay home. Not going to risk my life trying to get to work in a blizzard. I'm not that important lol. Have a great day!

Poor little Maggie, I am keeping her in my thoughts and hope she gets relief with her medication ((hugs)).

Good Morning Everyone throughout the length and breadth of the great MMC Nation!

Closing fast now on our fourth Milestone Marker of the 2017 Countdown Season.

Today's numbers are thus presented for your unconditional enjoyment:
Days to the Season: 245
Days to Christmas Day: 287

And, hard though it may be to understand yet alone believe, we find ourselves just TWO days away from the 1/3 point to Christmas Season 2017.
(And I'm afraid to even look at the chart to see what the NEXT marker is and just how close it might be!)


Well, winter is definitely re-established here in central North Carolina and yesterday morning's light snowfall punctuated it.
Cold weather will remain in place throughout this week, but we are not predicted to get any more precipitation of the frozen kind.
Right now, we observe that our new week has commenced here at 31 degrees.


Have a Marvelous Monday Guys, regardless of your weather scenario.
And I hope your week has begun in proper MMC fashion!

Good morning MMC members!!! Today started out early for me, around 2AM. That was because yesterday was kind of full. I got off work at 7AM, got to church at 8:15AM (for an 8:30 service), stopped by Hy-Vee to get my daughter's prescription, went over to the theater to get tickets for the big screen showing of the Quiet Man (with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara), then back home and took a short nap. We made it to the movies for the 2PM screening (me, my wife and daughter) and after we got back home around 4:30, I decided that I was due for some sleep. What can I say? Next thing I knew I was waking up on Monday morning. Not a lot of accomplishment, but overall a nice day.
I just finished doing some shoveling from our 5" total snowfall and have a few of early morning appointments to attend to. After that, I am going to try to take it easy. I do not do that very much on my days off, but every now and then, it does become necessary.
All of you in the path of this large storm, please be careful.
Edge: Good planning my friend. There is no amount of cash worth your safety.
Martine: Good morning to you. Not sure if this storm goes that far north, but I am certain you guys have had your share during this winter anyway.
I was glancing through some cartoons and came across this one. I actually knew a couple much like this when I was in the service...

Thanks Crown! Gearing up for a blizzard here!

Good morning MMC! Merry Monday!!! With the time change, the darkness this morning sure made it hard to get out of bed. Weekend went too fast again.

Are all you East Coasters prepared for a blizzard?? Hope you all stay safe & warm!!! We aren't supposed to get a whole lot here - I've seen 1-4" predicted. We shall see! It's supposed to start later today.

Everyone, have a great Monday!

Good Monday morning, Christmas friends!

The Rattlesnake Roundup was this weekend, and I didn't even go LOL. We've been so busy with the kids and their obligations, there's been no time for community events. It's a good thing I gave up being mayor, eh?

This was opening weekend for the play that Jacob is a part of. He's playing bass in the orchestra. It was a production of "9 to 5", the Dolly Parton movie from 1980. The play was very well acted, but it was a bit more adult-themed than I was prepared for. It followed the movie almost exactly (well, aside from being a musical), but I guess I'm used to seeing productions at our local theater. There would never be cursing or portrayal of drinking, smoking marijuana, or such strong innuendo. When did I become such a prude? LOL

It's very cool today, and I finally get to wear long sleeves!

I hope y'all have a great day!

Good evening,

Friday is done, we did some running around to get JP his lacrosse pads and helmet and struck out. Came home and looked online and bought some at an amazing price. Should have started there. I start my new hours tomorrow, and I am still awake.
I should probably get to sleep.

I hope you all had a great day

Goodnight, everyone

Hope the new hours are working out well for you! xx

Popping in to say hi everyone!!!

Nice to see you judesmama! Hope all is well with you!!
