School called off before any inclement weather at all? That is strange.
Hope your trains aren’t as wimpy as your schools.

Weather's OK this morning. Forecast to hit mid 70's tomorrow.
Morning you guys...pulling another all nighter here since just don’t want to go to bed....
We have about 4 inches of accumulation of snow, 27 degrees with real feel at 15.. and snow still falling, but it’s blowing enough here so hard to get measurements. Cars and sidewalks are all covered. ...Road Plows have already gone thru getting ready for morning traffic....but it’s mighty quiet out there now. Just the way I like it!
It’ Winter here in Western Pa!
WOW!!!! Stay warm and stay safe. This is really looking to be a bad one for the N.E. :-(
Good morning Ma ((HUGS))
How on earth did you find that graphic? That is truly awesome.
Another busy Monday so I’ll be in lurker mode again.
Sweet dreams and have a safe and easy Monday.

Delta Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Infantry Regiment, 196th Light Infantry Brigade, Americal Division. 
Company suffered regular casualties from snipers and booby traps. On the morning of Jan. 17, 1970, Sloat's squad was conducting a patrol, serving as a blocking element in support of tanks and armored personnel carriers from F Troop in the Que Son valley. As the squad moved through dense up a small hill in file formation, the lead Soldier tripped a wire attached to a hand grenade booby-trap, set up by enemy forces. When the grenade rolled down the hill toward Sloat, he had a choice. He could hit the ground and seek cover, or pick up the grenade and throw it away from his fellow Soldiers. After initially attempting to throw the grenade, Sloat realized that detonation was imminent, and that two or three men near him would be killed or seriously injured if he couldn't shield them from the blast. In an instant, Sloat chose to draw the grenade to his body, shielding his squad members from the blast, and saving their lives. Sloat's actions define the ultimate sacrifice of laying down his own life in order to save the lives of his comrades. Specialist Four Donald P. Sloat's extraordinary heroism and selflessness are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service, and reflect great credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
