Where In The World 21. We are now completely legal!!!

[goopysolelady]

When I go out to feed the pigs in the morning I wear 3 layers on the top and 2 on the bottom and boots, scarf and gloves. I do not like going out in the morning but poor Lulu is out there in the cold and wants her warm oatmeal as soon as the sun comes up!

I know. 30's feels good to me these days. 20 is cold. Teens are bitter cold.

I can relate to shoveling snow. Good exercise! You are smart to clear around your fire hydrant. Of course I don't have fire hydrants or sidewalks where I am. It's pig paths and the driveway and the mailbox.

I drove home in an ice storm this evening. I do not like driving at night at all but my rehearsals are all at night. Brass this evening. I drove 40 the whole way. At least I was the only person on the road so I could go as slow as I wanted. I love that about living here.

That's exactly how much clothes I had on Tuesday night when we sat out in the 24 real feel degree temperature...except I had tennis shoes with 2 pair of socks...one pair was my Minnie "fuzzy's" instead of boots. The volleyball coach (head ladies coach) told DD today she was pretty upset with the soccer coach for making them play that game Tuesday in those temperatures. She cited Allie's frostnip problem as the main reason...she was surprised Allie was the only one! You named the main reason I told DH I wanted to be a "city girl" after we got married ; I remember many weekend mornings having to go out in the cold and feed the farm animals (Mom always took care of them on school days). Had more than enough of that as a teenager...it was hard enough taking Goopy out in the cold all those years!

So glad you made it home safely in an ice storm...especially driving some of those roads WITHOUT RAILS! I'd be afraid I'd just skid off the edge on some of those curves and nights are the worse! I don't even like driving in the rain at night! But I do drive about 40 too when it's raining hard; our roads have nice shoulders for slow drivers to use when necessary!

OK here when it's 30 degrees I will be wearing a sweater and a winter jacket, boots probably gloves too.

I don't feel like such a "sissy" now! Sweatshirt and winter jacket and gloves is my normal 30 degree wardrobe...well...maybe 35-36 degree wardrobe! 30 degrees and I'd be INSIDE!

Attraction, shop or food service?

This is part of an attraction.

 

[goopysolelady]

Yes, Frozen _____ is part of the title. And the second line is ___________ Outpost.

This is from a food service cart/kiosk. Not one of the Coke kiosks. Not the Ice Cream Truck. This one is more permanent, not the kind that roll around

This is a mountain, on a sign in the AK and it's in Asia.

What does the sign say? It names what they sell and the name of the kiosk.

The only "Outpost" I can find listed is Warung Outpost (I think this used to be UpCountry something or other) and it serves frozen drinks....or frozen margaritas. Thought youngest DD might have a picture (she loves margaritas) but couldn't find one in her file...but then we're normally not in the AK during "margarita time"...usually a half-day...no later than 2 PM park for us. We may have to change that strategy and see the night time show one of these days!

Just saw this on Yahoo News...it IS a little funny but feel bad for laughing...poor things!


In Florida, it was so cold iguanas fell from their tree perches in suburban Miami. The reptiles became immobile when temperatures dipped below 40 degrees Fahrenheit (5 degrees Celsius).

Glad you made it home safely. Driving in the ice is no fun.

You can't even go OUT with -25 wind chill, can you? Seems to me that would be INSTANT frostbite! Dang..those pictures the Weather Channel had on today/evening from Boston showed heavy winds...guess they reach NH tomorrow! I think they even said "blizzard conditions" simply from the blowing snow. Hard to imagine! Strange that Steph's school isn't cancelled all together! At least the 2 hour delay helps a little but y'all should be staying INDOORS all day! That weather is dangerous! Are y'all having the really strong winds too? Saw some spots were getting up to 70 mph winds! Those turkeys look HUGE; guessing they're looking for food? The cardinals are beautiful! I love pictures of the red cardinals against the white snow! Olaf is sending YOU "warm hugs" too...

The winds started picking up last night. I thought we were going to lose power. You couldn't see anything except snow blowing everywhere. There were blizzard conditions on the coast. The winds were up to 75mph and the water was coming over the wall flooding the street.

Poor little things.

4 day weekend for me. Already cancelled school for tomorrow. High winds with wind chills of -25 predicted for tomorrow morning. Steph has a 2 hour delay. We had a dozen turkeys in our back yard this morning.

Cardinals

Wow! I cannot even imagine -25! We are in the 30's for the next week!! Unbelievable! I know at -5, I have to stay right by my wood stove. Poor animals out in that!

I have turkeys here. Not every day but once in a while. They are big like that. But we do not have cardinals I miss them and blue jays. We have stellar jays but they are not as pretty.

I would lose power for sure! How can Stephanie go to school in 75 mph winds!? What water is coming over what wall? How can there be water when it's so cold?

The only "Outpost" I can find listed is Warung Outpost (I think this used to be UpCountry something or other) and it serves frozen drinks....or frozen margaritas.

And it's Warung for the win! You should stay and see the River of Lights show and I want to see Pandora at night.

The 75 mph winds were at the coast and the ocean water was coming over the sea wall.

The winds started picking up last night. I thought we were going to lose power. You couldn't see anything except snow blowing everywhere. There were blizzard conditions on the coast. The winds were up to 75mph and the water was coming over the wall flooding the street.

There was a video on the Weather Channel showing water flooding the street between tall buildings and for the life of me I couldn't figure out what was going on! I kept thinking it was a RIVER but couldn't understand the buildings being so close to it. So I started paying attention to the reporting and learned the high tide was breaching the wall and flowing into the streets. WOW...it was flowing SO FAST and the wind was making waves...miserable conditions. I heard there was up to 75 mph winds...that's HURRICANE FORCE WINDS! The reporters also commented that the snow had stopped falling but the blowing snow from the winds created blizzard conditions. I was wondering about your power; figured you didn't have winds THAT strong but doesn't take much to knock those lines out. Redstorm was watching with me in the early evening and she promptly told me even WHEN she was a meteorologist SHE would be the one working in the studio! "I'm NOT going out and reporting from the streets...I'LL tell the reporters where to go and what to say!" That little incident Tuesday night gave her a "healthy respect" of cold, cold weather and scared her. She can't imagine those conditions as a "way of life"; you New Englanders are a HEARTY BUNCH! Stay warm!
