Howdy, luvie.

Have your temps begin to drop yet?

[luvie]

Hey there!

Oh, yeaaah...they dropped a lot. I don’t think we made it out of the 30s today. LOL! It’s 28 right now. They said we had frozen fog but there was no trace of it here...though I could feel something very cold and wet on my face when I went out to feed the kitties.

How ‘bout you? Did you have that 70-degree day you were looking forward to?

[The Mayor]

Yes, I wish the hump in cold snowy weather would be here. : )

Thank you always Kathy for your dedication and hard work here!

[Kathy in Alaska]

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

[The Mayor]

Yes, thank God. With it being so cold right now It comes on frequently.

[radu]

BRRRRRRRRRR!! I feel for ya, AND for the kitties.

Yep, we reached 71 degrees this afternoon and it was wonderful. Watching the weather report now and they’ve revised tomorrow’s high a little. This evening they said it would be 43 or so. Now they say 37. Still above freezing so the rain won’t change over here. It’s ugly in the NW part of the state right now. Ice!
Looks like this weather will stick around for a while. They showed it’ll be here through at least next Wed. *sigh*

[radu]

Thanks! WOOHOO! I did better than Honorable Mention for a change. LOL

[radu]

I’ll bet it does! LOL

We’re all going to cringe when our electric or gas bills come in after this system moves out.

[luvie]

Yep, this cold front is hovering like a helicopter. We have about a week of it. Sunday is the worst. I will worry about the kitties, but I’ve done what I can to help them.

That sounds like what it was like here from yesterday to today. Y’all are just a little behind us. Stay warm!

[Kathy in Alaska]

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

[MoochPooch]

Evening, Kathy! So grateful to our military.

[The Mayor]

Yes, that’s for sure!

[radu]

It’s definitely a slow mover. It was supposed to be here last week.
We’re just glad they upped the temps a little and took the teens out of the forecast for lows. Low 20s is plenty cold as it is.

[luvie]

It’s pretty cold all right. Teach me to whine about “no winter”. LOL!

[radu]

The do say “be careful what you ask for.” LOL
You definitely got it. So did everyone else though.

[E.G.C.]

A very pleasant good Thursday morning and ((HUGS)) to everyone at the Canteen and to all our military at home and abroad. Thanks for your service to our country.

How's everyone doing this morning?

[luvie]

I broke the weather?? Who knew! LOL!

[radu]

Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))

Did you get lucky and miss out on frozen precip yesterday?
I imagine today will be a stay-at-home-in-front-of-the-heater day. BRRRRRRRRRR

[radu]

Yep, we can lay the blame in your lap. LOL

[luvie]

Oh, noooeeeesssssss! Oh, well. :)
