Christmas Countdown - 2018

[Holiday]

Ohhhhh boy, there’s a winter storm watch in effect for our area. It was 1-3 inches but, as of this moment, looks like upped it to 5-9 inches and climbing.

I think ya all know me by now, I just love the snow! I’m like if it’s going to be cold outside anyway, it just might as well snow to make it look a lot more like Christmas!

I hope you get & enjoy the snow!!!!

That is my worst nightmare regarding Loki. So glad Lucy was found quickly. And hope your mom is doing well after her fall.

Thanks Martine. Yes, it was heart stopping!! Happened so fast!

Morning MMC. Happy 1st day of spring. With that said we have a winter storm warning for Wednesday. Spring? Where are you? For today though the weather looks decent. And that's a plus. Winter started early and apparently is ending late. Have a great 2nd day of the week!

Happy 1st day of spring. Sure doesn't feel like it!
Have a good day Edge!

Is anyone here attempting to balance an egg at 12:15 PM, Eastern today?

Well ... the 2018 FORD Women's Curling Championships are going on in my neck of the woods. Great for tourism, but hard to find a parking spot when you want to hit the gym for a work out. Luckily (or not), I can walk to the fitness centre so I have no excuses. Wasn't as busy as I thought it would be bright and early in the morning. Nothing starts until 9 a.m. guess that's why I had access to my cardio equipment, same locker, etc.

To be honest, I haven't really worked out much in the last few weeks and yesterday was a good one.

Stay jolly!

Good for you heading to the gym despite the parking issues!
Have a great day AMD!

Good Morning, Folks!

There's a new Milestone in sight.
It is number five on our chart.
It's.......
Well, we will tell you about that in a moment.

First, there is this:
Days to the Season: 238
Days to Christmas Day: 280

Marker number five is the ONE-QUARTER point to Christmas Day 2108.
It's now UNDER a week ahead. SIX days to be precise.
(But don't believe me. Check out the chart at post number 1 of this thread.)

Things are getting cooler and in fact, we have a chance of SNOW in the prediction for tomorrow. It's the latter half of March in the south, for heaven's sake! This just is isn't right.
(Oops! I had better not get Mother Nature mad. Shhh!)
We are at 56 degrees here currently, after a soaking overnight rain.


Have a Terrific Tuesday Folks, regardless of your weather!

Mother Nature is not a lady you want to make mad! Have a good day crown!

Good Morning MMC!
More snow headed our way...they are saying 6-9 inches..ugh! Spring please come soon!
Just work for me today and I am going out to dinner with 2 girlfriends tonight.
Have a great day!

Have fun with your friends tonight!! And stay safe!!!

Losing one of my dogs is one of my deepest fears. Thanking the Lord that you found her so quickly!!!

It was not a good few minutes! Especially with the lake being right there on both sides of us & the top thin layer still being ice. My 1st fear was she took off after geese & wound up in the water.

HA! I remember doing this with a broom. I'll probably be heading home for lunch around 12:15! Are you going to try it? Snopes says you can do it anytime of the year - not just during equinox?

Happy First Day of Spring, MMC!!! And of course to celebrate, it’s going to snow this afternoon and evening. Crazy Mother Nature. At least we didn’t get the freezing rain last night that they got south of us. Nothing to crazy going on here. I hope everyone has a great day!!!

Ours should be light.

No ma'am. I'll be too busy, as always, watching TV, dialing 900 numbers and attempting to balance this thing called life.

I forgot to mention - yesterday morning at the lake, I put Lucy outside on her lead. I went back in the trailer for probably 10 minutes or so, I walked back outside & Lucy was GONE!!! Her lead broke! FREAK OUT!!! I woke Jim & he took off one direction I took off the other. Our neighbors were doing some work outside - they said they had just seen her - they thought we had just let her outside, loose - so they were looking for her too. THANKFULLY they found her under the neighbors (Jackson, her boyfriend) awning. It only took about 5-10 minutes to find her, but it seemed like 10 hours. She nearly gave her mama a heart attack.

She just wanted to act like a normal teenage girl and sneak out to visit her boyfriend. Lol!!

I’m glad she didn’t go far and didnt get herself in a bind!!

Ella likes to shoot out the front door as people walk in. I use mom’s cane to keep her back as we walk in since she's afraid of it.

True ... the Straight Dope also says there's nothing special about the equinox, it can be done anytime with a steady hand and some patience.

LOL! Yep - trying to keep her mama on her toes!

Ella, the little stinker! At least you have a trick to keep her inside!

I hope you get & enjoy the snow!!!!

Me too!

Get this, the National weather service has upped the totals once more for my area from 5-9 inches to 8-16" and the predicted amounts are still climbing.

They show it starting here around 4 as rain and then switching to snow fairly quickly.
