Good evening Mr. Tonkin,
Thank you Military men and Canteen men for the warm fire.
Thanks for the pic of the snow at your house.
Now you'll be able to see the moose tracks!
Thanks for the pictures, but :::shiver:::.
Wind is awful here! On the news they said we'll get some snow overnight, but weather.com is still saying we'll only have a low of 34. (The cold front started coming through as I was running errands this afternoon. Went from too hot for my tastes to need-a-jacket chilly by the time I got home. Still says we're at 51. Tomorrow night it's supposed to get down to 25, but then in 40s during the day.)
Thus ends tonight and tomorrow's west coast of Ohio forecast. ;)
We might as well race, because if we don't, tomkow6 will sneak in and grab it. ;)
