No new snow here (the old layer has NOT melted). Forecasters predicting 3-7" by morning beginning late tonight. We were 2 degrees at 7 AM and we live at a higher elevation, so we're stocked up and ready for whatever comes our way. The good news, we're warming up to the 20's tomorrow.

Your post about wanting to go to Jihaad and join SOS was interesting, particularly that they have no contact with their "brothers" on the front line. Would be nice if the front line was permanently silenced and had no contact with anyone again ever IMHO (verbally or physically).

We still have the first snowflake that fell here a couple of months ago. Our high today was -5, which felt (believe it or not) warm. Our high yesterday was -12......no windchill adjustment there. Mr. RR is in Florida for a meeting. 70 degrees there...........I think I hate him right now.(LOL) Oh, well...........it is winter..........and it is the Dakotas. To be expected.

Speaking of weather, has anyone read "State of Fear"? Michael Crichton's latest. Whatever lingering doubts about the theory of "global warning" I had have been totally erased. Good story, well documented and foot-noted. I hightly recommend it.

We dropped to -2 F last night. All the snow from the last storms is still on the ground. More due tonight. I have to get up a 4 AM to make a 6:20 AM flight. It will probably be necessary to brush the snow off the car before heading out in the morning. The airport is showing +7 F right now.

Sorry I didn't reply to you last night MamaD. The power went out here, so no more computer. It's a whopping 19 degrees now.

Regarding the SOS board, it seems that there are quite a few boards for the "youngsters". Those youngins seen to like to talk big, just like teenagers everywhere I suppose. Part of growing up. The frightening thing is some of those probably will grow up to be jihadis, in just a few short years.
