Bird,
After watching the news {7 inmates escaped} an weather{mix bag of weather} it seems the best place to be is inside for the next couple of days.

Stay warm and safe down there.

Yeah, Thomas, I've just been sitting here drinking my coffee and reading the newspaper stories about those 7 escaped convicts. They're the suspects in the killing of an Irving police officer during a robbery of an Oshmans Sporting Goods store Christmas Eve. One of my sons-in-law is also an Irving officer, so of course, he knew the officer who was killed. And my son-in-law might have been working that day himself if his dad hadn't died of a heart attack two days earlier. It's been kind of a sad holiday season this year for a lot of my family and acquaintances.

Wet and cold here this morning. My cows and calves have put on such a winter coat they are starting to look like teddy bears.
The first day or two after they escaped, a mounted posse was out in this area looking for those convicts. At least some of them have some smarts, a dangerous bunch. I hope I'm wrong, but I have a feeling this story is gonna have a bad ending.

ERNIEB,
5am -2 now 6 above clear sky but the wind starting to howl again./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

I agree about the ending for on the news one convict said "you haven't heard the last from us"
When caught I do hope the ending will be swift.

We have been really blessed in N. Arizona. Snowed and blowed all day Christmas. About 8-15" snow, then it cleared up and is supposed to be clear through New Year's day. Could'nt ask for better holiday weather.

Bad Ice Storm came in Christmas Night to east Texas. Lost power at 2:30 AM, just came back on at 9:30 tonight (Tuesday)19 hours. Trees broken down all over the place, roads closed, Also got 5 inches of rain in the two day period. It is still raining and freezing as it hits on the trees and above ground structures. Sabine River is out of its banks and the Sulphur River is near flood stage. Several towns without power, radio says about 40,000 homes still without electricity. I sure feel sorry for those folks without power and also for the electric line crews working in the cold wet mess. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

chuckp,
Few years back New England had bad ice storm and what a mess,and I kinda know what those poor folks are going thru.

As most of us learn from the ice storm don't take anything for granted,and keep an eye on mother nature.

According to the weather station that same low pressure should affect New England this weekend...boy I hope not. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

Stay safe and warm down there.

Good mornin' Thomas. I heard the weather prediction for Sat. is for a possible Nor'Easter this time. ErnieB are you hearing this./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif The wind gust over the last several days sure have been something. Made road travel very treacherous as debris kept falling from the trees along these wooded country roads.

 

[ERNIEB]

yea, I sure am. We got down to 33 this morning, 36 right now, and not expected to get over 38 today. My TC29 couldn't drag me out of the house today. Suppose to have sunshine and 55 tomorrow.
Thomas, better have plenty of wood and coffee laid in/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

ERNIEB,
Yep always have plenty of coffee and donuts plus a freezer full of goodies. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I guess the storm system has been scale down by the time it arrives here sometime Friday and thru out the weekend...whew...but I'm not putting all my eggs in one basket. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

You folks in Texas panhandle are getting New England weather for sure./w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif
