Greetings to all at the Canteen!

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

[PROCON]

Hiya Beachie, I have a bad cold so I’m just going to sign off and relax, take care!

[beachn4fun]

FIRST
Good evening vamp (((HUGS))
What's happening out your way?
Ready for the next big system?

[radu]

Howdy, beachy. *HUGZ*

How’s it goin’ up your way?
Are you expecting crummy weather this weekend like I am?

[beachn4fun]

SECOND
Good evening Pro ((hug from a distance))
Sorry about the cold. Rest and use Zicam.
I'm sure Ma will supply you with soup and tissues.

[beachn4fun]

Yeah, so far they’re saying we may get 1-3 inches but we wait and see.

what about your area?

[radu]

Not a whole lot going on here these days. Been riding the weather roller coaster and nope, I’m not ready at all for this next round of yuck. But I can’t stop it and just have to accept it ..... and stay home where it’s warm. LOL

I hope it isn’t going to clobber you too hard. We’ll get wet, maybe have some snowflakes but mainly it’ll just be cold.

I’m ready for Spring! How ‘bout you?

[radu]

That’s not too bad. You being farther north, I was afraid you might get more.
Our ground is too warm for any accumulation, fortunately, but with the overnight low being below freezing, the roads will be icy by Saturday morning. Glad I don’t have to go anywhere. We’ll be in the 50s Sunday it’ll all be gone then. Is it going to be a quick hit for you too?

[beachn4fun]

I’m so ready for spring.
Hope this is the last of the messy frigid weather too.

I’ll keep my eyes on the radar and local channels to see how the system moves. Most have been going north of us but they may this one won’t.
But I guess a fast moving one as it’ll be done by Saturday morning.

Like you, we’ll hunker down and wait it out.

[luvie]

Howdy, Early Bird! Hope this has been a good week in your ‘hood! Is it warming up there like it has been here?

[beachn4fun]

THIRD
Good evening night owl ((HUGS))
The week has been mild but
we're in for another freeze and another storm system
heading in on Friday night.
Yuck! Come on spring.

[beachn4fun]

Things are quiet in the Canteen tonight.
Time for me to hit the hay.
Please hang around and chat with others.

To all of our Awesome military, our Allies, and their families
THANK YOU
We keep the Canteen open for you.

I'll play catch up in the morning.

Good night.

[lightman]

G’d even’ng, one and all!

[radu]

Shoo, it’s only the middle of February. This won’t be the last of the cold snaps. This kind is bearable, at least, unlike the hit we got last month. NO MORE OF THOSE!! LOL

From what I can tell, this one IS a fast mover. The rain will hit here tomorrow evening and be out of here by a little after midnight. The cold will stick around through Saturday but we’ll warm up again Sunday. Not too bad.

Spring isn’t too far off. The daffodils around the farm are up and budding. That little spark of hope! :-)

[radu]

Howdy, PRO.

Bummer about your cold. :-( I hope you can knock it out quickly.

[lightman]

NWS just upped their map for us: now 4 - 6; had been 1 - 3.

Fortunately they are still showing an ending right around sunrise....I hate snow plowing with headlights but if necessary I can do it.

[radu]

Sleep well, beachy.
Good luck with the weather this weekend.

[radu]

Well that stinks. Sounds like it’s picking up more steam than initially expected. :-(
