I jinxed Nancy

[BernardandMissBianca]

I told her the wind was blowing and I hoped we didn't lose power so she goes to e-mail me back and POP there goes her transformer and she has no power.

Oh what a day!!!

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Now that's a bit o' bad luck, aye?

I guess that means our wind will be picking up again here soon. Hope I can get the allergy shot trip done before it happens. Hate driving on the interstate in bad wind.

ixiedust: Hope they Nan's electricity back on soon.

 

[aroyer]

YIKES! I hope she gets power soon!

ours went out twice last night!! 1st time came back on at 3:05 scared the bejebus out of me sound asleep and the answering machine and fish tank pumps start along with the furnace. 2nd time I must have really been out cold cause I heard nothing till the magic phone call from school saying there was a 2 hour delay, by that point (5:50 am I was wide awake). Winds are gusting to abt 20 here I'm not looking forward to the drive home, took me 35 minutes to go 6 miles this am with all the ice. DH said it was bad when he got in from sanding so I waited another 45 mins and if was still horrific. 5 miles an hour or less with 2 tires in the snow bank for traction with studded tires and 4 wheel drive !!!!!! I should have called in !!
stay safe everyone

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Christy you need to stay home and be careful!

the wind is dying down now, we are just getting gusts. not the steady train sound it was earlier.

 

[Faerie]

Hey Buffy, tell the weather people that in 8 days or so, the weather should be unseasonably warm and nice for my visit, k?

 

[joyah]

Buffy
I know after I got here I thought what am I nuts I should have stayed home and scrapped all day. Guess that vermonter in me really showed this am.
Going home should just be winds here they are howling but the road is basically protected through the hills.
I'll just be happy to get there in 1 piece.
It's days like this I wish I worked someplace on a main road.

 

[PoohBearLovinMama]

Man, Nancy is just having a heck of a time these past 2 days. I hope her power comes on soon.

Christy, be careful on the way home!

supposedly it's going to be warmer later this weekend but I'm not sure what next weekend is going to bring. I will try to get the weatherman to cooperate!

be careful and let us know when you get home!

Buffy
would let you know if I could but I'm in the process of changing providers so internet in lasped at home for the time being. I'll be careful promise!!!!!
Leaving work in a 20 mins. then on to the rat race of supper chores and bed for the monkeys. My youngest was just headed out to play eek: )for a few mins I told him he'd be and Ericsicle when I got home and he says no mommy I'll just be Eric. Guess I need to add a warm tub to the list to thaw him out! this one would be out in his tee shirt all winter he hates the heat of summer.
Stay safe everyone and hopefully Nancy will get her power back soon. Those windchills are nasty out there

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

well just be super careful!

 

[PrincessNancy96]

2.5 hours later and we are back on.. the house is chilly.. DD has to leave for practice in 15 minutes... than I have to get DS11 to practice and pick DD up from practice @ 6:45pm.... This is just nuts!

Funny thing is AWM, there was no wind.. nothing... just blue skies and sunshine...even though it's cold as heck!

 

[Lisa]

Be careful driving, ladies.

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

No wind here either. Just icky cold. So cold I didn't even want to leave the car which means I didn't fall of wagon at Odd Lots, Michael's or Target. I was a good girl. Cold girl. But a good girl.

Glad you got your power back.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Odd Lots??? Is that like a combo of Job Lots and Big Lots???

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Oh, yeah, I can never get the name change right. They used to Odd Lots AND Big Lots. Then they started just using Big Lots. But the ones around were Odd Lots. So confusing. And I'm blonde. So, uhm, yes, I meant Big Lots. That orange sign store.

Glad you weren't out too long. Although in this cold out at all is too long in my book, probably why we have wood heat I HATE being cold in the house.
Roads were still nasty going home and comin in but in stead of the normal 10 it took just under 20 still way better then yesterday. thank god the morning bus driver is the most careful of all 3 they have.
Now they are talkin about the white stuff for tonight and tomorrow and while I love it because of skiing and s***mobiling can't it fall just on weekends and days off?

 

[AlexWyattMommy]

Hey PN96, my weather alert radio just went off. There is a Winter Storm WARNING (not watch) for the next 6 hours. It'll hit you first, so be careful out there!
