Good afternoon, E...((HUGS))...snow is falling for my birthday. We got more than 4 inches yesterday (most of which I shoveled off the driveway last night), and today more than 4 has fallen since last night.

I’m going to call someone to plow the driveway.

You and Bo have a great day.

[Arrowhead1952]

Guess we are lucky. We’ve already had just over 5” this year.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Cindy....I will celebrate by shoveling some of the new snow.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Tell me you are safely home now, Mac...*HUGS*

Driving in new snow with lots of crazy people is not fun at all. We’ve had about 8” here at work on the west side, probably more at home on the east side.

Hope you had a wonderful day!!

[ConorMacNessa]

Good evening, Kathy!

*HUGS*

I'm safely home - they lied about the snow, of course. The storm tracked to our south and we're sitting here waiting for the first flake to fall. The Weather People must all be Obama supporters - they can't get it right to save their souls!



Keep Faith with the Fallen of Benghazi! Let the Obama Regime, for once, tell the Truth!

Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Good Evening To Our Valiant Troops, To Our Vets, To Our Families, Our FRiends, Our Allies And To All Canteen Denizens!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe, especially those in combat!

Glad you are safely home and didn’t have to battle the snow.

All day the weather guys have been saying that this storm is over (as it continued to snow til about an hour ago), but that a new storm is coming this weekend.

Something is wonky with FR....no pages will fully load.

We will try our best to post the new thread.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Tom...I got a snow storm for my birthday.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Arrowhead. I ran my finger through the icing on the back so no one would notice. d:o)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, ML...love the “puppy in a pocket”. ((HUGS))

[MS.BEHAVIN]

Happy birthday, Ma!
Love,
Msb and TheRealMr.B

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good morning, ms b...((HUGS))...thank you so much. Don’t look in the back...my finger found some frosting. d:o)

Hope you are feeling better.

[MS.BEHAVIN]

*HUG*
I’ll blame the missing frosting on YOU, then!
LOL

“Hope you are feeling better.”
I am slowly getting there.
I’ll be glad when my vision clears!
;0(
Off to bed!

Ah, I see (tongue in cheek), your winter fitness program.

No new snow here apparently until Tuesday.

God bless you, Kathy.
