Good morning!!!!

Two_bit looks like a warm up next week, 70's by Wednesday.
I hope so. Thanks for the glimmer of better weather!

another plane incident in Toronto Canada. flipped after landing.
Flipping over like that seems very unusual. Caused by high winds? I've never seen a cause specified.

The temp is in the 50's now but there is a cold weather alert for the Hill Country with wind chills from 6° - 15°F but they also say wind chill as low as 0°F is possible.

We are just lucky that it's not worse. Some of ya'll are really getting hit hard. Thomas, scotty, daugen, pop, wngspd, buppies you are all in my prayers and everyone else,too.

Stay as warm and safe as possible! Prayers for our Nation!

Edit: Thanks for the info check! All were very lucky but right now they may not realize it.Big news here. Really windy today, and the speculation is that wind caused the crash. Both wings fell/broke off! 80 souls on board, all survived (so far) but 2 are in hospital in critical condition. The entire airport was closed and all flights in and out have been cancelled. It's gonna be a travel nightmare - Toronto Pearson is a BIG airport!

Good (Tuesday) morning. Overnight Low of 9.6C and it's presently 25.5C, mostly sunny with a wee breeze.

Today I'll do a quick trip 'into town' to do my grocery shopping for the coming week as I'll be going to Brisbane tomorrow. I'll 'mostly' pack later on &, perhaps, get it transferred to the ute.

I need to keep Penelope the Pussybeast inside tomorrow morning... if she 'escapes' before I leave there'll be no way I'll be able to catch her.

That's about it, take care all.

Good evening all. light to moderate wind, sky mostly clear by end of day, and high temp was 52ºF.Drive home had no problems. Got home about 3PM no nap, everything put away or in dirty clothes, grilled brats for dinner. Got some turkey bacon baked as al the cooked bacon has been eaten. Need to get organized for tomorrow.
Drew glad you got the tank filled, with 6 PM as fix time you have 9 more hours of no power from the grid. If generator is designed correctly, noting to be gained. Do you have an oil temp gauge or engine temp gauge? Running continuous in summer I would think be much harder. Air or water cooled?
Ken sorry about the heater, hope no other damage except the top misshapen. Sorry about the poor luck finding chairs and nothing at auction. Hope you had more success at HD to replace panels in garage. Sorry about all the leaves messing with water flow. Thanks for pics.
Dennis got halfway home yesterday the stopped in NE Oklahoma for the night. Drove home today and got home about 3PM. No problems.
Drew glad you can get car detailed.
RNG I think all the people moving here are diving up real estate prices which then translate to higher taxes. Glad van getting cleaned out after hauling wood. Good luck selling down the inventory of what you don't want anymore.
David glad good brunch. Hope Sears tech showed with parts. Hope good HH.
Drew glad house didn't cool off much while genny off. Quite the list of closed roads.
Ken glad luck at HD better than the first twp stops. Sorry about the wood quality.
Drew glad power back on, and 3 hours early :)
Dennis thank for pic and info.
Bill glad plowing done, sorry tractor got stuck. Thanks for link.
Thomas sorry about the working conditions for snow control. Hope you were able to warm up after all that hand shoveling.
PJ the heavier snowfall will be south of St Louis. Miami OK and Joplin will be near the worst. Glad you are forecast to warm up quick.
Drew no heated steering wheel in truck. but do have heat seats, turned it on this morning, low gets too hot in less than 5 minutes. Hope ex employee knows how to make breakfast also.
Paul glad no power loss. Glad progress on shop cleanup, winch is almost done and MIG welder doing great. Hope good oddfellows meeting
James pretty pic. Hope the snowmobilers are showing up. Sorry recovery making you wait so long to go up and do snow control.
James will be interesting to find out why wings are not still on plane.
Two_bit your welcome. Wednesday morning wind chill forecast to be -8ºF here.
NHBX sorry wind still howling and more snow control to do.

unhappily up way too early
here we go again....
power went off at 3am, apparently wide spread, again...,with over 1400 homes out.
I had signed up for notification and within five minutes I had a text and email telling me power was out and would be
restored as soon as possible, and no need to call it in. That's a good system.

19 degrees out. Starting a portable gen on a small propane tank in cold weather is pretty iffy, but mine started up fine and
is running now. Hope they get power back on soon, as I have to leave house this morning to get car serviced and don't like leaving
home unattended with portable gen running.

at least I got some good sleep before all the beeps woke me up.
time to make a fresh pot of coffee
 
   / Good morning!!!! #203,450  
Drinking hot cup of coffee. -9° with clear skies this morning. Heading to 15° with sunny skies in am. Clouds in PM. Never got out of house yesterday. Except to let Sassy out. She did not do well. Will not let me put booties on her feet. One time I had to get her. One foot was to sore to walk. Will try the booties again to day. Never got walkways cleaned. Probably a good thing. Cold air makes snow sticky. Today will be much the same as yesterday.

Everyone stay well and safe.

Good Morning All.
