We are also part of that invisible shield. They are already saying we may just get a slushy rain/snow mix. I am suspecting I will not be at the pajama party tomorrow.

We are too, seems like Central Kansas and Western Kansas can get shut down but we are South Central Kansas and have the shield. Although, the windchill are supposed to be -20 tomorrow. That gives me cause for hope...

We here in my part of VA are under that snow shield too. All that snow in VA that Happydog had to drive through and to call what we got a dusting is to exaggerate.

We were supposed to get 2 inches, then it turned to possible ice, now a possible dusting.

Okay well turns out I might be at the pajama party...they are calling for snow here in FLORIDA...really this is why I moved from Alaska...it is so cold here. It felt like 14 yesterday morning so no calling me a pansy people it was COLD!!!! So if it does snow I'm not going to school with all the people who think they know how to drive in Snow in FLORIDA...I'll curl up in my Mickey PJs with you guys!!!

Someone at Marc's school checked and we have a policy that school will be canceled for anything colder than -15. So there is still hope. I'm wearing my fleece Mickey's to bed tonight!

HA!!!!!

OH I hope we get some too... they keep changing that dang report. We used up three snow days before the holiday though, so it will be pulling teeth for us to get another one now! We have two more days.. I suspect more is on the horizon if not this friday!

They may be a little gun shy calling another day for you all so soon. Good luck!

SNOW in FLORIDA??!! You must be joking??!! Oh my word!

Oh my, I saw that it's record cold down there!

Snow in Florida?! That's nuts!!

The snowbanks here are almost as high as our car. The kids are lovin' it though! Takes a LOT to get Minnesotans out of school though, the plows and sand trucks get out before anyone wakes up and they take care of the roads.

It's currently 7 degrees. Suddenly, the 42 degree weather from New Orleans isn't sounding so bad....



Nope, we don't have family there...we went for a wedding, the couple is from California, it was a destination wedding and FANTASTIC! Seriously, awesome wedding. The City was a lot of fun too, even though it was too chilly to enjoy being outdoors for too long - we had left our winter coats here in Minnesota!

I'll bet that wedding was beautiful! Sorry it wasn't warmer.

They are telling me the lows with the wind chill on Friday and Saturday are going to be in the single digits...I kid you not the weather report is saying the low on Friday is going to be 6 and the low on Friday is going to be 5...this is not OKAY with me!!

Those poor orange growers....I saw a news piece on them.

Holy cr...I mean cow!!! That's Minnesota weather for sure! It's going to "warm up" to the twenties on Sunday here! I feel bad for those going to WDW this week and not getting the nice FL weather they ordered.

I'm at my desk in my cuddle duds by the way!!!

I hope it warms up for our DIS friends that are going soon!

I'm thinking of pulling out my cuddle duds too! It's stinkin cold here, we aren't used to this kind of cold either. It's been in the 20s all week and the next couple of days we have highs in the teens - forecasted low for Saturday is 0

Of course, my Minnesota family calls me a wimp when I complain like this....

This is exactly the weather cuddle duds were intended for!

I'm at my desk in my cuddle duds today...I had to test them out! I'm wearing one as a long sleeve shirt under a t-shirt to try the layered look!! Going well so far!

Did you say you got the bottoms too?

Do you think it helps my case at all that we did ride Maelstrom this trip?

And we smiled while we were riding it. I promise.

We rode it too! Even waited and smiled while waiting!

All this talk about snow reminds me of a riddle! How are blizzards and lovemaking alike?

MEK ?
mickeysmyboy ?

I was told I could change to 88.
Unless 157 is the answer, and then I'll keep that.

Or I could add 1+5+7 and say 13.
But that's unlucky.
And it's already taken.

I could choose my age, which is not taken.

I could pick 1928, which has a Disney connection.
But if you walked 1928 steps, you'd have been at another resort.

Yes, I'll take 88.
Please.

 

[Happydog]

I SOOOOOOOOOOOO don't want to know the punch line on that joke...

 

[grumpyyoungguy]

In Minnesota we just grow our hair out for the winter then the cold isnt so bad.

Here is my winter Do....

 

[Happydog]

Yay for Maelstrom and possible snow!

Nah, Friday they are saying a few inches it is unlikely we will have another day, but we might get a delay... I have a meeting so I get to sleep in anyhow!!!!

You are talking about the book and not the bedroom I assume!

Yes, the book, the book!

It's unusually cold here now too. One of the girls I work with is getting married in New Orleans 3/2012. The receptions is going to be at one of the old hotels near the Quarter. My daughter has dreams of getting married at St. Louis Cathedral.

I think most of us are in the deep freeze! So are her dreams going to come true?

Just a weather report from sunny Southern California...it was 75 yesterday and sunny.

Uh Jordan.....I'm biting my tongue, my teeth are chattering so bad!

OUCH! Just go ahead, twist the knife...

Rub our noses in it!

Hellooo! Is it a MN convention on the Dis lately! [/quote]


Well, it's too Damm cold to do anything else!!

It's a deep freeze!

And might I add - You are cracking me up!!!

It's her job!

England is covered in snow, our schools are shut, can I join the party too?

Please do! We'd welcome your company!

Hutchinson (Central MN in case you don't know where it is ) How about you?

Their wedding was at Our Lady of Guadalupe, a church in the Quarter. Then the jazz band led us down the street to the Royal Sonesta for the reception. Corner of Royal and Bourbon. It was a blast! The Royal Sonesta is a beaaaaaautiful hotel - the reception rooms were stunning!

That sounds wonderful! Do we get to see pictures?

Yes, I know - I am a wimp when it comes to the cold. I am forever thankful that my mom didn't move back to MN when my parents divorced - I'd have never made it!

I don't think I could live that far north!

I so understand...Joe and I talk OFTEN about moving south. The winters are just annoying here. Blah!

I would love to live in a warmer climate...

Well I doubt I'll get a thanksgiving trip but it's the fall Holiday DH would like to go out for, Christmas is the one time we have all 4 kids without much in the way of scheduling conflicts and as a result, we really like to be at home with all our traditions. We traveled one year and said never again!

It could happen though after the big kids are out of the house...

How long will that be?



WOW you guys!

It's 47 and cloudy here. Not very interesting at all!

We shut down for ice too as it's so hilly and the city is not equipped for it at all. Anything over 2" will do it but sometimes less. Not a single snow day so far though! My boys are DYING for one!

I'll wear my mickey jams in support though!

Snow days are always fun, especially when they aren't the norm, I'll be happy for your support. I'm really feeling the need for a day off tomorrow. It hasn't been a very graceful return back to reality for me...

I just had to share this since we've had all this talk about snow days, etc. I just heard on the radio that Oklahoma City Public Schools are going to close tomorrow and Friday because it's supposed to be really cold Seriously? They are closing because it's cold??? My boys are bummed because we aren't in the OKC school district....

That's my hope for tomorrow, closing due to the windchill.

In 1996 it was so cold one day in Minnesota the schools closed. I think the record for the state was around -60 in International Falls. Where we were it was around -40. The state literally shut down and they told everyone to stay inside. It was nuts!!

Do you think other school systems will follow OKC? Around here it seems one closes and slowly all those around it close too.

I would think the surrounding districts would follow the larger one, I guess time will tell.

Schools in Alabama also have closed because its going to be cold cold cold!! So I believe it, there is a rumor going around they are considering closing our school on Friday because of the temperature. You would be shocked by what some of my kids were wearing today and it was in the low 30s when they got to school today.

At least our kids were dressed for the weather today. Most were in hats and gloves too.

Well, everything SHOULD shut down if it's -40, that's dangerous cold! We are supposed to be in the high teens tomorrow, but with a 30mph north wind. So, it's going to be cold, but cold enough to close schools

I hope our schools don't close. Justin has a basketball tournament that starts tomorrow and he was just released to start playing again from his elbow injury - he will be big time bummed if they cancelled school & therefore the tournament!



Oh I can only imagine. My neighbors son had on short sleeves and no coat this morning. He is routinely outside in the winter without shoes on

We are going to be colder than that tomorrow and have pretty windy conditions. I guess I'll see if the phone rings in the morning....

There is too much talk of cold weather on the this here thread! I come here to think about warm weather and sunshine. Post some Kidani pics or some sunshine or something warm Wigd. Please, before I put on another pair on long johns and run for the snuggle!

One of these days, I'll get an update posted on this thread! Some bright, warm, Kidani pictures!

Amen!

Agreed!

I'm so glad that i was able to give y'all something to chat about!!! It was my plan all a-lllooooooooonnnnnnnggggggggg (roflmao).

You are such a good sport, we could just drag this out a looooooong time!

I would surely love to see 47 right now, for the sake of my heating bill, which will be outrageous next month!

My students did a pretty wild snow dance shortly before dismissal. We'll see what happens.

I think I am the only one without Disney pajamas.

I think if you got out a black sharpie you could probably draw some Mickey heads on some jammies. I bet they'd look good too!

Here we go, this is better:

Much better! Thanks Brook!

I don't have any either MeMom. Of course, based on the latest weather report, I think it is very, very unlikely that I would even be home to need them.

You never know when the weather could take a turn...
I'm still hopeful!

Isn't the contest supposed to end today? Not to be confused with the infamous contest from the Seinfeld episode.

Not looking like a snow day tomorrow in New England. Hope some of you get to spend the day in your mickey pjs!

Wishin, and hopin, and thinkin, and prayin.....

Yes, tonight is the night.
In fact the contest ends at 8:00 central time

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that episode of Seinfeld. Hilarious. <----good smiley choice, right

You need to refresh me. I'm not remembering that episode and I watched faithfully....

I was in Minnesota for that freezing cold winter. It was 50 below with the wind chill. I remember my DH going out to start the car every two hours. They closed the KMart too! Nothing was open. PLUS there was 3 ft of snow on the ground! It was SOOO cold that your nose hairs froze immediately. (sorry, tmi, but true)

Did they break and fall out?

Ewwwww, that's just GROSS!

All this talk about snow reminds me of a riddle! How are blizzards and lovemaking alike?

Uh Oh

I guess 400 steps

Got it Dan!

I was told I could change to 88.
Unless 157 is the answer, and then I'll keep that.

Or I could add 1+5+7 and say 13.
But that's unlucky.
And it's already taken.

I could pick 1928, which has a Disney connection.
But if you walked 1928 steps, you'd have been at another resort.

Yes, I'll take 88.
Please.

Oops, I thought we had you down on the official list, I guess Shocker is falling down in his duties.

I SOOOOOOOOOOOO don't want to know the punch line on that joke...

That's two of us.

In Minnesota we just grow our hair out for the winter then the cold isnt so bad.

Here is my winter Do....

Hmmmm, I think your hair must grow quite fast, it didn't look a thing like that last week when we saw you.....

Yay for Maelstrom and possible snow!

Nah, Friday they are saying a few inches it is unlikely we will have another day, but we might get a delay... I have a meeting so I get to sleep in anyhow!!!!

What I wouldn't give just to sleep in! Just an hour or two more.....

It's 8:00 CST and the contest is officially over. That is unless the winner does not collect their prize by pming me their address within the next week.


I was really surprised when the guesses started coming in.
Most of you thought we were very close to the main elevator.
We weren't.

We were so far it didn't even seem like we were really in Africa.
I know we were but I'll say we were pretty far off so it seemed like it was Egypt.

So how far you ask?
Did you have to walk 100 steps Wigd? Yes we did!

Did you have to walk 200 steps Wigd? Yes we did!




Did you have to walk 300 steps Wigd Yes we did!















Did you have to walk 400 steps Wigd?

















Well did you?







???


???





???





???







???

















YES WE DID!!!

WE WALKED 460 STEPS FROM THE MAIN ELEVATORS TO OUR VILLA!​

So we have our winners!

Grumpyyoungguy and Sugar1967, I'll be sending you a pm. Congratulations! You have won an awesome prize from Walt Disney and as soon as my Disney boxes arrive I'll take a picture and post it!
