Something About Nothing ... #12

[tink1957]

Hi everybody

I'm back among the living after spending my days off lying in bed hacking up a lung like Lynne...not my ideal for a vacation.

I return to work tomorrow just in time for the predicted ice in our area My boss called this afternoon and asked if I was going to make it to work tomorrow. I told her that if it did what the weather people predicted not to expect me...I don't do ice and snow, I'm from the south and know better than to get on the road with others who don't have a clue how to drive in icy conditions. I just hope that the power doesn't go out and no iced up trees fall on my house.

I need to move to Florida soon

Hope keisha and Lynne feel better soon and everyone stays warm this weekend

 

[macraven]

Tink hope you feel better and no longer a sickie tonight


Ha
That snow storm warning was a joke
At 1 today it started spitting snow and temps dropped below 40

It was all over in 15 minutes
So much for all the schools closing today

It is cold but that is it

Must have picked up a nail as when almost home had the front tire lose air

If tire is flat in the morning I will pump it with air and hit a place where I can get the tire patched

Mac the snow is just starting with the main event happening in the early a.m. hours and my area is predicted to get ice, if you look at the weather forecast map, we are in the south end of Heard County on the Heard/Troup county line where it's supposed to be worst.

 

[macraven]

I always look at your area homie
I'm about one hour from you

We had the snow and ice warning notices yesterday but missed us today

Short snow shower and then gone

But, weather could change tonight


January 29 2014 was the worse for Atlanta and areas nearby
Can remember watching it on tv how motorists were stranded on the highways with the snow/ice storm

If you start to get snow tonight, forget about driving to work tomorrow

Been watching the news on the Fl airport issue
Like a train wreck and keep watching

Of course it is the same statements being repeated with no new info yet

Only new info released now is FBI had contact about the man

 

[tink1957]

I'm watching the news too and it's a sad commentary on both our mental health system and the military where he was kicked out for poor performance that this guy was released back into society to ruin so many lives

 

[macraven]

Tink noticed you are getting slammed

Just looked outside and the green grass in my front yard has all this white stuff on it


Oh my!

 

[pcstang]

I was stuck in Vegas for 2 extra days during the 2014 ice storm. Mac and Tink, enjoy! We had snow about 6 years ago, the kids had a blast. A couple of days was enough for me! Cold weather sucks. Can't wait to move back to Florida one day.

 

[macraven]

Homie, I hate snow!

Don't have much but a dusting cover of it

Will be house bound until the temps rise Sunday

I would never drive up or down the mountains when weather is like this

I live on a ridge and there is nothing on the sides of the roads is you slide

Last year at this time period it was 79 here

I can remember January 2014 watching the weather channel and looking at the Atlanta mess on the roads

Up north, that type of stuff is like yesterday news
Lol

 

[tink1957]

It doesn't look like I'll be going anywhere soon since my front and back steps are covered in ice...

I must have the only husky dog who doesn't like cold...she whines to come inside if it falls below 40. She's all cuddled up on the floor with her fuzzy throw now...

Good night homies

 

[macraven]

Tink it is 27 right now and next week our high will be mid 60's


At least "winter" in the south is short lived

Enjoy Saturday off work....

Stay warm and inside

It was said tongue in cheek
I know you don't want it anymore than I do. It's too cold for me right now!
There are tornadoes around Ocala right now. I guess I'll take the cold instead. The other night was close enough for me. Hit about 5 miles south of me.

 

[schumigirl]

Vicki, stay at home and don't leave till it's safe........horrible weather! I did smile at your dog.......lol.......reminded me of a friend I had years ago, she had a massive Doberman........supposed to be brave and proud.......this thing used to hide from the tiny dog next door, was so funny to see.....your dog hiding from the cold reminded me........I'd be the same.........hate the cold.

Kohlby, congrats on the future move.......it'll come round before you know it..........although nice your family will have lots of time to adjust to such a huge move ahead.........hope it's a good one..........


Our last bad winters were 2010/11 worst we had for many years.........this one so far hasn't been too bad, a few nasty cold days but nothing to those years. Only beginning of January I suppose.........

Up early for some reason this morning.........having hot lemon tea........will have proper breakfast when DH finally gets up........may have bacon.....

 

[pcstang]

My male Rottweiler was 175 lbs but refused to get off the porch if the grass was wet. Big baby! On the other hand, my female would stay out during a storm and run back and forth across the yard "chasing" the thunder. What a mess! They were both inside dogs so we kept towels by the door to clean there paws.
ETA yummmmm bacon goes with anything!

 

[macraven]

I figured out what was wrong with my iMac and corrected it early this morning

Then I was too tired to do any emails on it

I'm a happy homie now!

Schumi- now I crave bacon...

Hope your winter is a mild one this year
I can remember back to how frigid cold some past ones were for youse
Maybe you'll get a break this year

Pc how cute about your doggies!
No wet grass for their paws

Yesterday evening had couple of my tires start to lose air
I have a portable air pump I had to use
Once home, one tire lost 6 lbs of pressure
MrMac took my car to the garage this morning to have it patched
He is still gone so assume he had to wait longer than expected

Do not see much traffic on the main road behind our house so no idea how the streets are

Only a dusting of maybe 1/2 - 1 inch on the yard which will melt tomorrow

Going to be in the 60's during the week so like will be back to normal

Watching weather channel now
Orlando is to be 30 tonight
Chicago at 4

He PC, yep our labs loved the water, in any form. During a summer rainstorm, my 85 lb male would dig a hole, and lay in it. He loved to be a big mud pie, and my 75 lb female jumped off a cliff into an iced over pond, swam under the ice until she found ice thin enough to break. They both dove in the blizzard 6 foot of snow we had, I think it was the 96 blizzard. Even my 70 lb boxer loved to play in the snow.

We had about 2 inches yesterday, and up to around 3 today. A warm 26 high today, with wind chill 14. I am house bound until the game later tonight. They already cancelled the later game, so I am wishing both get canceled.

Just made a breakfast casserole. Tasty.

Hunker down all. I hope this cold spell breaks for all the homies.

Tink I hope you feel better. I am still not quite over it, but at least I have plenty of tissues.

Have an awesome Saturday all.

 

[macraven]

Having a heat wave

About 28 degrees here

Streets cleared due to the sunshine

Woot

 

[Lynne G]

No sun the whole day. Gray from the time I woke up, now dark as could be. Three more fluffy inches and done. Blanket over me, house feels cold. Took the car out. Slushy and wet, icy in spots, but the crews have done a good job clearing the roads. You would think the sound of two big trucks would not make me smile. One was the plow, the other the salt brine spreader. They did. Big smile when I heard the first one. High was 22, wind chill 0. Low tonight, 12. Bundle up all.

 

[kohlby]

Temp has been steadily dropping all day. Winter is here. The windchill is supposed to make it feel like in the 20's. I guess it's time for a day of winter.

 

[macraven]

kohlby, i've been in orlando in early january before.
2014 was so cold and rainy for about 5 of my days there.

but, that was a lot better even in the mid 30's that year as it was -11 at home.
(wc made the temp at -25)

hope you survive your first winter there.....!

it will all change soon for youse
