WOO-HOO, thanks for remembering our Troops, Kathy!

More snow falling tonight, it's beautiful but I'm definitely ready for Spring!

[lightman]

Even’ng, everyone...stay safe.

Honor those serving and never forget the fallen!

[mountainlion]

You do not have many maneuvers in the freezing weather so stay out the stormy weather.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Pro....it is beautiful to watch as long as you don’t have to drive in it. I trust my driving, but no one else on the road.

Did your work day go well?

[PROCON]

Good work day, relaxing and getting ready for the morning.

You have much snow?

Hi Everybody!

(((((HUGS))))

Snow Tonight.

[luvie]

...and remembering them!

[luvie]

Oh, no! I know you are soooo tired of snow.

My son in WY on the other hand, is relishing more snow, which just keeps coming down. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...how many days til spring? Is Penny still a couch potato? Any pub nights?

Clear and cold here for the last few days...and SUNSHINE ALL DAY!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, lightman...are you without snow? No flooding?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion….is it back to winter yet?

Has your road stayed open? Plenty of firewood?

Stormy weather is no good for being out and about.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hello Veterans, wherever you are!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

In first....Pro grabs the gold!!

[lightman]

Last week’s snow became a memory over the weekend.

Tropical storm force winds Sunday night - Monday caused a 2 1/2 hour power outage, which was nothing compared with some we’ve had. I always keep the wood stove “match ready” for time like these so within 30 minutes I had the kettles sizzling.

A dusting of snow forecast for Thursday night....might me something more substantial Sunday night.

[Kathy in Alaska]

My goodness, you have certainly run the gamut of weather issues.

And you are prepared for it all.

[Kathy in Alaska]

And in second....lightman snags the silver!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

And rounding out the top three....mountainlion bags the bronze!!

Greetings to all at the Canteen!

To all our military men and women, past and present,

THANK YOU
for your service!
