We are in the midst of a three day event. Accumulations only to total about 4-6, however.
Good morning, Everyone. Good morning to our
AWESOME
Military, our Allies, and their families.
THANK YOU for all you do.
Thank you, Ma, for preparing the Canteen for today’s activities.
p.s. I know I'm late but you guyz leave MA ALONE! She's a hard worker at the Canteen. She's allowed to make a few boo boos!
DC Metroland weather report
~ Today...Sunny. High 36F. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.
~ Tonight...A few passing clouds. Low 16F. Winds WNW at 5 to 10 mph.
I can't believe my eyes. I'm watching our local forecast and they're talking about another system coming in Tues afternoon. It appears I'll have enough time to get to the office tomorrow, catch up on some work, pack up the rest and bring it home before we get another round.
Lucky for my homestead, we shouldn't get much. Not so lucky for DC and north, they may get 6-10.
I know we sound like wimps around here but we are not used to getting this much snow in one year. I hope never to see this much again.
Hubby and I shoveled snow off and on all weekend. We got about 18-20 inches and it was a wet snow, so pretty heavy. I ache all over. Today, I rest!
There are still a lot of people without power in the area. If you live in VA, MD, DC or other areas hit by the storm, and you are reading this, please try to help someone who is without power. Make sure they have food, water, enough blankets to keep warm.
One other thing - Major KUDOs to the road crews who have worked all weekend to get roads passable and keep them so. KUDOS to the power guyz who have worked in bitter cold to restore power as much as they can.
At least they had a break in the weather yesterday and will again today to try get to the rest.
Right now I need to make my rounds and catch up and check up.
Now remember, the Canteen is ALWAYS
Come on in and sit for a while.
There's always plenty of coffee, pancakes, conversation, silliness,
and plain old BS
REMEMBER THEM

Good morning, Tax-chick...I like the idea of a combined Scouting program.
Good night.
Good morning, Ma ((HUGS))
God, thank you for sending snow blowers! We sure could have used them Friday night and Saturday. I think I’m going to have Mr. Beachy go to the hardware store to find another snow shovel. The old one we had has gone belly up. I doubt there is a snow blower left in the county. And, the one that is will probably cost and arm and leg.
Sorry to hear you got 15. Do you have snow blower?
I don’t know how you all in the north handle so much snow.
Sorry about the double post. I’ve asked Admin to delete one.
Most everyone has their power back. However Marlow is running on generators. Schools are closed today there. They're going to try to get it back on later this morning.
We have winter advisories for the area. 1-3 inches snow forecast.
Lights flickered for a few seconds yesterday evening during the super bowl Electricity stayed on though.
How's it going for you this morning, Beach?
Good morning and (((HUGS))) EG. Today will be better than the weekend. Going to finish up a few chores that got set aside. But mostly rest and watch a movie.
Did you watch the Superbowl? What was your fav commercial?

Beachy calling CMN....are you there?
No, I didn’t watch the Super Bowl. Went to bed around sunset as I always do. Woke up early this morning.:-D

Conor had power yesterday...hoping he still does.
((HUGS))Good morning, MEG33. How’s it going?
Need more coffee!
Great graphics, thanks!
