[keishashadow]

it's always sunny on the SAN board

did u ever check out this site as to average # of days of sunshine for major US cities? my burg only has 45% chance of it daily

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/online/ccd/pctposrank.txt

poohbug, did u check out the 10 day extended weather forecast yet? typically, no matter how cold orlando is in the winter, it's warmer than the great white north. Plan on taking ur dip during the day, air gets cool @ night.

mac - $138 RT to MCO, that's a great rate, even better that SW is coming to ur neck of the woodsnow u can DING with the best of them.

It was in the high 20's down here in Louisiana this morning.. we're not used to all of this.. I can't even imagine what it must be like for the northern folks.

Got back from Disney for Christmas about two weeks ago.. took FULL advantage of the Deluxe Dining Plan.. and promptly gained 10 lbs.. now I'm struggling to get back down.. almost lost it all again.. so now I'm going to work on leaning out for our summer trip back to Disney in May.

But first it will be UO for Mardi Gras!!!! Can't wait!!!

[Coach81]

I feel the same way about the Monday comment.. I've been in a "funk" ever since we got back from Disney....

 

[Mad Hattered]

Awesome new pics Frozen Pooh!!!! It's cold here in the Lou as well. We are supposed to get around 6-8" of snow tomorrow night and Thursday morning. And then the arctic blast comes in behind it with winds near 40 mph and windchills in the -20 to -40 range!!!

They have ground blizzard warnings for Thursday due to the snow being blown about. Sounds like it should be a blast getting in to work on Thursday.

 

[donaldduck352]

Everyone is feeling old man winter.For central FLA this is almost unheard of tho.Every night for the 7day forecast calls for overnight freeze warnings where I live.I just want the day temps too get over 45f here,my blood is way to thin to put up with this stuff and I only own 3pairs of jeans.I went out today in my hunting clothes,people was wondering if hunting season was still in.I said no,I'm freezing and this is the warmest clothes I got!!!!

 

[Tinker-tude]

Cold here, too! It got all the way down to 14, and now it's all the way up to 20. So glad I'm not any further north! This old house is hard enough to heat down south, I think we'd just turn into popsicles up with the rest of you.

Anybody familiar with Diana Krall's Popsicle Toes? Listened to that today and laughed.

morning all

i feel for donald & todd (know he's used to northern winters though) along w/all the rest who are getting the deep chill.

the thought creeped into my head this am when pouring orange juice for the troops...is the crop safe?dread the thought of paying $10 for gallon of OJ.

those of us who deal with this often are typically just happy when it's above freezing for the salt mix to work so we can drive vs slide. Take heart, as long as temps are hovering near 20 & not much of a windchill, it begins to feel positively balmyafter cabin fever has set in naw, ha, ha

 

[Coach81]

Last night I coached soccer in 20 degree weather.. thank God there was no wind! Here with the humidity that we are blessed with in South Louisiana.. 20 degrees is very cold!!!

Next soccer game will be this Friday.. and they are calling for TEEN temps!!!

 

[ky07]

Good afternoon homies
I know how you all feel cause with the wind chill we are in single digits here.
Well got to go take youngest DS to doctors appt for his blood pressure and I have a sinus cold which means another fun day of pounding headaches

i forgot my pw again for facebook.
i really need to check on line for the ap uo site newsletter.
i don't get all the mailed ones out each time.

i still have the platinum status for loews and get the $100 food and beverage credit. if i didn't, i would check out the code for the free grub at the hotel.

i talk to my parents every day, they live in your neck of the woods pretty much so.
my mom complains that they don't get snow..........

the last time(dec) i was in St L, i had to delay my return trip back home due to the bad road conditions we had in the chitown area.

we have a warning out now for another dump of snow tonight and tomorrow.

do what you have to do to stay warm.
i know it is difficult for you and others going thru this cold spell you are having.

how is your son doing?
i remember you talked before about his blood pressure issues.
hope he is doing better.

sending you mummy dust for those pounding headaches.
it gets worse doesn't it when the temps drop the way they do in your area.

Cold here, too! It got all the way down to 14, and now it's all the way up to 20. So glad I'm not any further north! This old house is hard enough to heat down south, I think we'd just turn into popsicles up with the rest of you.

i hear you.
i think the houses built in the south are insulated different from the ones near me.
i hope you can stay warm while you are in this cold spell.

we went out and bought another room heater on the weekend.
i have a quad level and the rooms do not heat evenly at all.

i'm appointing you the VP of the organization......

mr mac will pay whatever it takes for his orange juice.
he does not care of how expensive it will go, he has to have his tropicana juice.

bonny, it is now wednesday, trash day and it still feels like a monday here.

I feel the same way about the Monday comment.. I've been in a "funk" ever since we got back from Disney....

i know the feeling well.

when i do orlando, i have to do both the motherside and the darkside.
no way could i omit one of them.

this year, i started planning the '10 trip 2 weeks after i came back from the oct. trip.
but.......you have another trip in the works
lucky ducky

 

[macraven]

i thought i would be back into my regular routine since skool is back in session.

i added another project to do though.

i found a man that was out of work that does carpenter work.
he is redoing my floors for me so we can live like real peeps again.
he is very reasonable too.

you would not believe how pitiful my floors look............

today he started on the bathroom floor.
what i thought would be a simple job of laying down new tile over the old tile and giving the room a paint job, problems arose.

leaky pipes.



enough said....

 

[donaldduck352]

Everyone in the house is kicking there selves about trash day.It got down to 20f this morning with the wind blowing and we all sat around the TV at 6am praying for the warm up on the news when we heard the trash man go-bye.I tried to flag him down to no avail.Guess he liked the heat of the truck other then turning around!!

 

[marciemi]

Go Central Michigan!!

Well, I'm not particularly a CMU fan, but it was what my DH needed to win the football pool at work! $120 - but hey, we'll take it!!!

Predicting dire weather here too Mac. DH was supposed to go down to Chicago for business tomorrow but the people there told him they weren't coming in so he shouldn't bother driving down! Not that I think they planned to with the forecasts. Don't think we're supposed to get as much as you guys though. Hoping it all goes south of us (sorry! ).

Hi Everyone, been a while, have been insanely busy since I came back from my October trip, (which was our best yet) I can't believe it's been that long since I've posted, been lurking here and there.

I got my wife a PUG for Christmas, his name is Stashu (Stanley in Polish). He is very cool, a great addition to the family!

Here are his pix on Facebook

http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#/album.php?aid=84611&id=1036776856

I'll try to get here more often, hope everyone is well, going to try and catch up a bit!

-Mike

 

[Tinker-tude]

Akdar, he's ADORABLE!!!!!!!

Love the Rottie, too.

Mac, sorry about the leaky pipes. What a pain.

Busy day tomorrow. The roads may be too icy to drive on, and the kids are supposed to get shots. Then there's the shopping and Jared's P.E. class. Wish us luck.
