[schumigirl]

i just looked up orlando temps and it is the place to be.
i'll get the car warmed up and pick up some of youse homies.
who's in?
who's in charge of the snacks for our long drive?

Wait for me........


Janet.....lol....I know all these channels and I`ve sat watching some junk some nights. I`ve never seen the remake of Poseidon.........don`t think I should though........I really don`t like films about disasters.

But strangely enough before our first flight to the States we watched Airport 77..............well, I watched the first 15 minutes then went and did something else


I had so many plans for today.......not done any of them so far

We have a "snow day" in New Orleans today - the whole city is shut down. I'm wishing we were on our way to Orlando as I'd been considering, as our power company is saying we can expect 3 to 5 days without power once the snow storm hits this afternoon. We're not used to this down here!

if you really want to see a city shut down, come north, like chicago area.
now that is cold...........
schools are never closed but today is the second day in a row that they are.
negative 10 and busses not operating are factors in closing many things down.

our severe winter started very early in december.
some days better than others but january and february are typically our worse.

i just looked at accuweather and NO is at 38 degrees.
it shows that thursday will be in the 50's, friday the 60's and saturday 70's.

if you can get past today and tomorrow, you'll be in shorts by the weekend.

Keisha - those snow rollers were very interesting, I've never seen those!

Mac, I'd be happy to go south, but it is one LONG drive!

Finally back to school tomorrow; and since it will actually be above 0, they'll even get to have outside recess! All of my family still lives in SC (I'm from the Charleston area) and they were getting "prepared" for the weather yesterday. My brother was lamenting that a simple trip was going to take hours because of the impending snowmageddon.

mac - If the schools have been closed for two days in Chicago hell has indeed frozen over. kids here will be going to school thru at least the end of June now due to minimum # of days needed for reimbursement, legislators may get involved to try and work out that mess

waiting for the national news to start showing the folks who aren't used to the weather trying to navigate it. Those areas would be wise to shut down all non essential operations for a day and go with emergency snow route mode we are close to being in here since the salt/ash/beet juice slush is running low. News reported Wisconsin is using cheese by products same as the beet juice they're doing trial runs here.

we just loved his delivery of the weather! Never took himself too seriously. sad to see him go but what a great move for him up to your bigger market. We now have a bimbo. Does he have nice things to say about us? Think he's from ohio, often mentioned going home to see his mother.

good news it will hit 30 degrees this weekend, will feel almost tropical!

Mac I'm ready to go...pick me up on your way. I had to leave work early today due to the snow & ice on the road and my lack of ability to drive in it.

We are not used to this much winter here in the South.

Glad I'm off tomorrow.... the bad weather should be over by Thursday.

Stay warm everyone

 

[RAPstar]

SO glad it's just cold here right now. We already had our big freeze and it was terrible. I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to summer!

Happy for you ...........are you settling in to your apartment and area yet?

Chicago and some other area of the NE made our main news today with the weather youse are having.......wowza...........looks dreadful

We are going to be getting colder Thursday, nowhere near what youse are having.....wind will be hitting us straight from Siberia.......not looking forward to it. Weatherman says it will be our coldest day yet this winter, which has been milder than previous years, so shouldn't complain really. Don't need to go out till Friday for grocery shop and hairdresser.

Yes, we too are experiencing a single digit day, and nasty cold wind. No snow this time, though we will have some in the evening. Nice to shovel in the wee hours of the morning.

Polar Vortex is now in our vocabulary, as well as the fact that we are colder than some parts of Alaska.

Tink, I don't mind driving on the snow and ice, I hate black ice the most, though. It seems that can be normal driving for us in the winter. Sometimes seeing the blacktop is not always possible. The city is not good at clearing the roads right away. Funny, one of my DD's friend's GM said she did not know if she had snow tires. Um, around here we don't have them anymore, we have all weather. I remember, as a kid, my Dad putting chains on the tires when the snow was drifting and high on the roads. No one does that anymore.

Goofy, hope all is well in the new digs. I'll take 70 degrees right now.

Mac, and all others in the cold path, stay warm! My kids have to walk to and from school, and they have not been happy. I told them the cold should make them walk faster.

 

[goofyfigment]

I'm settling still living on an air mattress but going furniture shopping this weekend. Today was day 2 at the new job and its a pretty nice company to work for hope its not all fluff because I'm new lol

Everyone stay warm! My daughter goes to LSU and is upset that they may not get Mardi gras off because of the severe weather days they have had. All she keeps saying is I picked a school in the south to get away from the snow lol

haha best laid plans. My son is skipping the trek to groundhog day fest
again up at his school, despite it being up the road. Just as well, would take a lot of 'anti-freeze' to ward off the chill.

scary all the changes for you, glad it's working out. I like to shop but have a difficult time when it comes to furniture. Are you looking for a whole houseful?

 

[tink1957]

Hi

Glad you're enjoying your new job goofy...happy furniture shopping.

Gas company was supposed to deliver our propane today..I called to make sure they were coming and the lady said that the trucks were not running due to the icy roads I told her I had ran out last night and she said they would be here as soon as the roads cleared. Glad we have a fireplace and at least we aren't stuck in traffic like those poor people in Atlanta.

I need to be on a beach in the Caribbean soaking up the sun Who wants to come along?

Yup I have nothing if it didn't fit in my car it didn't come lol. I might just go to rooms to go. Right now I'm just more concerned about getting a living room set and a bed
