Morning everyone hope you are all trying to stay warm. No closures this morning here, got pretty messy though. Problem now is temperature is dropping fast so it's all freezing up. Back to work though.


Checking in from the frozen tundra known as Indianapolis!

Breakfast television was showing the conditions in downtown Indianapolis this morning to show the effects of the storm in the US

Hi from WDW. Well the 8:15 got delayed until something like 10 pm, but we were able to get seats on the 7:35. Bumpy ride here but we did see Wishes from the plane with all the walking from gate to gate, my hip started to complain. When got to Magical Express I had to sit down. As I was sitting there, two small kids came up to me with big smiles and asked if I was Santa Claus. Made my day! Of course I said no., but we all rode a Magical minivan and when they got off, I wished them well and said, "Ho Ho Ho".

Hilarious! I think Randall has a new nickname now.

just wanted to post that my favorite Disney cast member is home!!!!!

Welcome home Briana! Glad it turned out to be such a good experience for her.:thumbsup2
 
Morning Guys!

Looks like that frozen tundra stretches up to northern Ohio David!

It's like a blizzard outside with this wind.

But, I made it in to work....I'm sure it'll be a terribly busy day. :rolleyes2
 
Hey guys!!

Long time since I've made it in here!! Hope things are well with everyone, especially those I don't see on the FB page.:

Hey James. Have a great run and go team sparrow.

Checking in from the frozen tundra known as Indianapolis!

Ready to take the roof off of the Lucas Stadium? It's cold.

Morning Guys,

I hope you are all staying safe and warm. Warmed up here today so we have a freezing rain warning right now.

My phone says -3 Fair. It is certainly not.
 

Good Day Men! :wave:

Will be in the 60's here today, I can live with it. Later start today, still recovering from our long day on Saturday. Also, because I'm a idiot, I left my backpack on Magical Express. Wouldn't have been bad, but it had my meds in it, got it back last night, so I was off them for 48 hours.

If you are looking for pictures, I've posted some in the DISDad's Travelog. Will post more and I think the other Dads that will be here will be posting there too.

Later guys.
 
Day 18

Another day home from work. We officially had school closure notice around 6:00 PM, and I immediately took the day off. We had a dusting of snow, it looks like the roads are not wet/ ice, but it is cold at -3 currently. I will gladly enjoy another day off work and don't plan on leaving the house today. Hope everyone is able to keep warm today.

‘Morning all…
Hope y’all are staying warm. The current bout of nastiness hasn’t quite made it down this far just yet. It’s in the 40’s and raining for now but once he clouds move out then the mercury will start dropping…
Precipitously. The expected low tonight: 8 degrees. For the Carolinas, that is just a might chilly.


just wanted to post that my favorite Disney cast member is home!!!!! she had a great time in the eight months she was there. met a lot of great (and some not so great) people from all over the world. she loved working in the magic kingdom and couldn't have asked for a better role.she will always remember her days as a magic kingdom cast member and cherish those memories for the rest of her life.

Thanks for sharing her exploits with us Zerf. I enjoyed hearing the stories.
Congrats and good wishes to Briana as she moves on to the next adventure.

Started the early Recon for the rest of the DDC-II group I see.
Since I can’t join in on the festivities I’m compelled to say: I hate all of ya’.
But I hope you have a great time down there.
Have and extra Dole Whip for me.

Good morning gents - great weekend of football. Seems that most of us are now getting back to post holiday normal with returning to work and school but mother nature has added an extra day of staycation for some. Supposed to head to Chicago tomorrow morning so we will see how that goes with all of the flight delays. Stay warm and safe guys.

"SantaHo" - Sorry to hear about the backpack incident. Enjoy the World and the same to the other Dads heading down.

Hope everyone is able to keep warm today.

This morning it was 57 degrees at my house. Tonight it will be in the single digits. It'll be a miracle if we all don't have pneumonia by the end of the week.

Sounds familiar...

Yeah, I'd say that about sums it up.
 
I have a roof that needs replacing but a tree really should come down first and I got the quote on it...$2300. :headache: I liked trees until I became a homeowner.
Make sure you get some more quotes. We needed tree work a few years ago and the quotes we received were all over the place.




As I was sitting there, two small kids came up to me with big smiles and asked if I was Santa Claus. Made my day! Of course I said no., but we all rode a Magical minivan and when they got off, I wished them well and said, "Ho Ho Ho".
That's great! :lmao:



Glad that you were able to finally get there Randall. Congratulations on being able wake up in Disney's World! You should have told those kids that Santa was your nemesis.
:lmao::lmao::lmao:



Glad you made it and am looking forward to seeing Santa in a few days. I am not sitting on your lap though. Cool to see Wishes from the air. Not worth the wait but cool to see.
You should sit on his lap and ask for a tofu free 2014.

Welcome Home Brianna!

I looked for her in October Dave but couldn't find her. I guess I should of texted you to get the inside scoop where she was working.
 
Morning Guys,

I hope you are all staying safe and warm. Warmed up here today so we have a freezing rain warning right now.

Just plain rain coming down in sheets. In the lower 50's so not much dance of freezing. It will melt most of what we got last week. Stay safe.

Morning everyone hope you are all trying to stay warm. No closures this morning here, got pretty messy though. Problem now is temperature is dropping fast so it's all freezing up. Back to work though.

Have a good day back. Hopefully the temps don't drop too much.

:rotfl2: What he said, safe travels and good luck in the run!


:lmao::lmao::lmao::lmao:

Morning guys. 3 more days till I head down for DDCCII (weather permitting ;))! :cool1::cool1:

I'm hoping the weather cooperates with us all and we all make it there ok! :thumbsup2

Travel safe guys and have a great time. Wish I was going to be there. Schedule is so screwed up now, not sure where I'll be. Good luck during your run(s).

It's 61 here right now. Wind is picking up. Wonder how long till the temps drop. They are predicting a high of 10 tomorrow. :rolleyes2

High of 17 up here. The Canadians must have decided to pick on CT and let us have a little bit of a break.

hummmm… something's not right about that. Maybe your high will be at night and continue to drop during the day. :confused3

That's a possibility. We are only low 50's here today so you get a little more heat today. Supposed to be back up to 40 and more rain on Saturday from what I am hearing. This weather is crazy. We'll be lucky if we are all not sick with pneumonia by the end of January.:sad2:
