Good evening, radu... more spitting all day, but no real snow yet.

Hope your cold weather is finally over and you will start to get the rain you need.

[radu]

Hey there, Kathy.

You got lucky on snow. It was coming down hard at the airport a little while ago but it wasn’t for too very long. It’s spitting a little now.

It was another gorgeous day here but there’s a little rain moving through the state now that’s with a cold front.
Our big event begins Friday and goes through the weekend and that’ll give us a good soaking. Thank goodness it’ll be rain and not snow!

[luvie]

Remember them!
They sacrifice everything,
including time with family
and even their lives
for U S!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hey there, Pro...our troops need all the blessings we can give during these trying times.

Is spring coming your way yet?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, mountainlion...are you staying warm and safe?

Lots of snow?

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy, our snow has disappeared but we could still see some as Spring approaches.

Cool weather but the sunny skies makes us know that Spring is coming soon.

You having any melt off?

[Kathy in Alaska]

my!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

lightman!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

radu!!

[lightman]

Silver and gold...in the same week.

Don’t know if I can handle such fame and fortune.

(Shout out to Yukon Cornelius!)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, Mayor, and thank you for today’s sustenance for body and soul.

We made it through hump day.

Are you catching up on your rest/sleep? Feeling better?

[radu]

Howdy, luvie.

You popped in right after I left to grab a shower. Early morning tomorrow for the Republican women’s meeting and I don’t want to get up even earlier to shower then. LOL

How are things down there? It was a beautiful warm day here but a little cold front is coming through overnight. Not here yet as we’re still fairly warm.

[luvie]

Hey, radu!

Gosh we have the same weather again! LOL! It’s supposed to turn colder overnight here, too. I also have to get out in the morning, but not early. I have to have lab work done for a doctor’s appointment but I’ll just get up at my normal time, get dressed and go get it done. Then come back and have a very late tea and roll. :)

Sorry you have to get up early. I truly feel your pain. And on a day when it’s not warm. Two strikes! Hope you have fun, though, and if you give your presentation, I hope it’s received well.

[The Mayor]

Yes, doing better. Doctors visits today and tomorrow.
I’ve been resting but today I thank God it was beautiful
sun shiny day and 54 degrees. Makes such a difference

[Kathy in Alaska]

We had some morning problems, and the check printing was a bit delayed this afternoon, but we made it. Now they sit in a drawer over night to cool off from the printing process.

Then our guy in the office can fold them and get them in the mail tomorrow.

[radu]

It’s that time of year again for the wild roller coaster rides, though we’ve been on plenty throughout winter.
Two days ahead of mid 50s, then back into the 60s again.

At least we won’t have snow like they’re getting in Anchorage right now. It’s coming down hard at the airport.

Yeah, getting up early is hard for a vampire. LOL But it’s only once a month so it can be pulled off. My presentation is ready to deliver. Just hope I can focus my eyes to read it. LOL

[radu]

Boy, it’s been a bad week for y’all with so many problems cropping up every day. I hope things get straightened out SOON and I know y’all do too.

[luvie]

Wow...mid-50s. We’re supposed to be mid-40s tomorrow and then back up to 60s after that. it’s a roller coaster ride for sure.

Brrr...it does look very cold in Anchorage. I’m totally OVER snow. LOL! That’s why I just couldn’t have moved to Jackson Hole.

Hope you don’t go to sleep mid-presentation. If you do, I hope someone snaps a pic. :D Just kidding.

[Kathy in Alaska]

What a cool license plate! Thanks, my.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening/morning, Mooch...hope all your ice has melted and your arm is healing well.

We are waiting for a new storm.
