Winter Storm Warning in effect from 9pm tonight to 6AM SUNDAY

A storm system currently over the Gulf of Mexico will track northeastward and dump heavy snowfall across our region tonight through Sunday morning. The predicted snow totals have changed with new information now available, and we think 10-15 inches is now likely, with up to 20 inches in spots along and east of I-95. Narrow bands of heavy snow will move through some areas tomorrow, and these bands of heavy snow will make the difference in total accumulations. Snow may fall at the rate of 2 inches per hour within these heavy bands. The least amount of snow should be northwest of the metro area where 5-10 inches is expected west of I-81 Expect the snow to begin around bedtime tonight and end early Sunday morning. The heaviest snow should fall Saturday afternoon with the highest accumulations locally and southeast of the metro area.

I'm east of I-95!!!

Hi,

I hope that you are all doing well! I took today off from work. I baked some cookies. I need to do some wrapping. I burned my arm. Worked on some ornaments. I need to finish decorating. I also have some books to read.

Wednesday night I went to a Christmas party, my work Holiday party was yesterday, family holiday gathering is supposed to be tomorrow night. But it may be on hiatus till who knows when due to the weather.

Janet-As for Vista I have it but am not a fan.

I hope you are all doing well.

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Tammi, yep. Unpleasant.

Janet, we have Vista but I am not computer literate enough to tell you what is good and bad about it.

I guess you could always stick the pork outside so it will keep.

I am completely irritated with DH. Do you want him? He can help eat the pork.

LAST Saturday we were supposed to go pick up some cable box. They took out a bunch of our channels, and we can only get them restored with this magical box. Free for the first 12 months. Whatever. So we didn't make it to get the box. Starting MONDAY he was supposed to go get the box, but he never did. He was off today, but he didn't bother to attempt to go get the box until 4 PM. The guy on the phone told me TOTALLY wrong directions to the place. I mean TOTALLY, TOTALLY, INCREDIBLY wrong. The directions he gave us were not even in the vicinity of the place. But *I* did NOT know that, and it is not *MY* fault.

I was in the restroom. I heard my cell phone, but I was in no position to jump up and run for the phone. So as soon as it stopped, it started AGAIN. My phone is usually impossible to hear, but it was on the table in the playroom, NOT in my purse. So it was BLASTING loud, and Pixie was asleep. It stopped ringing, and then house phone started. I was IRATE. I managed to grab the house phone, and DH tells me I need to Google directions because I told him wrong. I told him I would call him back in a minute. Does he wait a minute? Nope. He turns around and starts driving home.

It turns out when we go to the Time Warner website there are like 5 places closer to us than the one the guy told me to go to. AND he told me WRONG directions. So, because DH wanted to be a horse's behind about it, we still have no cable box.

DH told DS we would put up the Christmas tree. I don't want to mess with it. We can do it next year. But now DS is all upset because DH said we would put the tree up! DH shouldn't have said ANYTHING. But we also don't have stockings, wrapping paper, or anything else that is in the storage unit unless DH goes to get it. I have to WORK tomorrow. I told DH it would have to be done TONIGHT if we were going to do it. Nope. He can't go to the storage unit to get the stuff because I gave him the wrong address for the cable place. He is mad at me so he is making DS suffer. Perfect.

BEFORE the debacle with the cable box I was ALMOST going to order that camera lens DH has been wanting ALL YEAR. I was going to surprise him with it. Except the 2 they had yesterday are gone.

I don't want to say I hate Christmas, but I am very, very close. Regular days are entirely stressful enough. I don't need holidays to further complicate matters.

 

[Pooh67_68]

Jen, thanks for the Christmas card.

 

[Glynis]

it's morning...not sure what to think of it other than that it's a time of day.

I've had a really rough night and foresee lots and lots of frustration and disappointment to continue for quite a long time to come...please be praying for me as I deal with a situation that has come up with Cassidy.

Off to do a 9 hour stint at Goodwill for the 4th time this week.

Definite prayers for you and Cassidy. I hope everything is ok.

Thank you Jen we got ours too.

Good afternoon!

Tammi - Yikes! That sounds like a doozy of a storm! Stay safe!!!

Becky - Sounds like you are getting a lot accomplished on your day off. Good for you!

Elizabeth - Sorry about all the stress. Sometimes our DH's like to add to the stress. Just keep breathing slowly!

I haven't heard back from the doctor, but they told me it was likely it won't be until Monday that they get all the results back. I am back on the iron pills, and have felt much better today. It's been a scary week, since I've been so dizzy and close to passing out ever since Saturday. At least today I could drive without the world spinning out of control. I am trying to think positively that the iron will be the culprit, but the back of my mind is trying to make me believe that I'm going to end up like my mom! It's going to be a long weekend! I think I'll make Alan take me to see A Christmas Carol so I can get my mind off things!

Deb - I am so thrilled at Hunter's recovery! I think about you guys every day, and just bawl with joy! I told my extended family (they've all been keeping your family in their prayer chains) about Hunter this morning at bowling, and we all did a joyful dance in the lanes! People thought we were crazy, but we didn't care. Hunter's prognosis is reason enough to celebrate!

I think I'm finally on top of things for Christmas! I bought the last of the presents for the kids today! Now I need to wrap, and buy Alan's combo fishing/hunting license and I'll be completely done!!! I'm hoping to get everything wrapped by Tuesday so I can enjoy the time with the kids home from school starting on Wednesday. It's a relief to look at my lists and realize that the buying is all done. And the lists look relatively even, too. Thank heaven that Katie realizes that her gifts have cost more, so there are not as many of them! She's totally ok with that!

Ok, I'm rambling, and the kids are tearing the house apart. I'd better run and see what's going on!

 

[jackskellingtonsgirl]

Glynis, I hope the iron continues to help you feel better! Thank you for the Christmas card!

We just got our tickets for "The Color Purple" next month. The seats are FABULOUS. But I am surprising DS with them so I can't tell him. We talked about buying tickets but he doesn't know I went ahead and bought them. For this performance they had Category 2 seats for the same price as Category 3, so our seats for this show will actually be better than what we get for some of the others.

YAY! Something went RIGHT today!

Thanks everyone!

We are getting a light dusting of snow now, it will not amount to anything like Tammi posted
