A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Coffee House 2631...

Enjoy your snow Bestofour, the kids must be excited.

I am watching the news this morning. Massachusetts ended up with 77 cm(over two feet) of snow in one town with this storm, their city is a mess...houses are flooded from rising waters. It is so sad.

We'll end up with about 40 inches here but we are used to such storms...I feel so bad for the people who are suffering with this 'weather bomb'.

Junie, are you and Rod feeling better today?

We had not heard of that storm...I need to find some news/weather of the east coast.

I thought Rod was still sick...but if so why is he working on my kitchen sink ?


I am fine myself....I guess.mine was allergies...my flonase fixed me right up.

Kitchen sink? I hope it is nothing too serious.

It was Sharon, Massachusetts that they were talking about....they already put up a link on Wikipedia about it. I seen the real coverage on our Weather Network station, it is a channel about weather news 24/7. I get caught up watching it at times.

Oh my goodness..I just went and read the article...thanks for the link.

Rod just decided to change the O ring in the sprayer on the sink. So far so good. He says if it leaks some place else, there are 3 other O rings to replace. So that is where we are now.

Washing clothes......golly my life is exciting.

Goodnight everyone. Sleep well..and keep warm.

I was reading about the weather this weekend too. It is awful.

Yay, Tina is back...we were worried about you.

Yes ! We were very worried, Tina, I am so happy to see you check in.

Good morning.

I will be here more often, I swear.

Thank you so much, Tina, we missed you.....but take care of you and yours first, ok ??

Good night everyone. Sweet Dreams.

Good morning! Freezing weather is coming in a day or so. I hope they are " mistaken".

Nora is spending the day here today as she now has the cold.

That's o.k., we just 'over' worry.

Good Morning..again.

Hi Junie, how is Nora feeling?

She says she feels good. If she has a fever it is low grade, so there is that at least. They have to stay home 24 hours after their fever goes away.

It is 63*F outside..tomorrow night there is.to be an ice storm and sub zero temps. Soon we.will all have pneumonia.

It is raining outside... usually I like the sound of rain, it puts me to sleep. Now it helps keep me in awake.

Good night everyone.

It is cold here but it is calling for three straight days of snowy weather starting tomorrow. I need to make a pharmacy run today.

I sent Rod to the pharmacy for me today. It is supposed to ice tonight and tomorrow.

It's a good thing that I went yesterday...we are covered in a sheet of ice at the moment. It warmed up enough to change to freezing rain just as the bus was picking up GG. It is going to change to snow tonight with another storm for tomorrow though.

I seen on the news this morning that Bloomington, Illinois got a bad storm as well. Is it near where your family lives, Junie?

Sunny, we are about 4-5 hours south of Bloomington, IL. It is very cold here..with sllet, snow and ice. We are on the line of snow and ice. So staying home is a good idea. It is days like this that make Rod glad he retired and can stay home.

Our problem will be power outage. And we have no generator. Talk to the boy..apparently we do not need one..why we can put stuff outside. I hope he has fun, Carol is not doing that.

We're pretty cold here, too. Not by Sunny's standards but by mine. My ideal temp is between 75 -85 degrees F. It's been a lovely winter so far. But it's cold. Low 40s now.

I am so glad that you are only at 40. Sorry for you but yet glad it is no colder yet.

Here it is 24*F but feels like it is 12*F. Icy and snowy to boot. To get colder over night.the kids and their mom have no school tomorrow.

Good night all sweet dreams.

That is cold for your area Tina, do you still have wood heat to keep you warm?

Junie, I hope the weather from Illinois does not creep down to you. There is no school today from the storm, anywhere from 6 inches to over a foot. They can't get it wrong with those kind of predictions.

Glad there is no school for GG, Sunny. Good to keep her home where you know she is warm and safe.
My DD and my grands do not have school either. I am glad of that. The roads are bad yet today...and from what the forecasters are saying the weather will be the same Saturday and possibly Sunday. Time will tell.

They finally sent the kids home with a 'snow day' booklet for working on days like this. It is just worksheets stapled together but it is better than nothing.

I made pork meatballs this morning and I now have them simmering in a green pepper/spaghetti sauce mixture. It smells delicious in here.

Yez, that is better than nothing. And this way they will not have a day to make up. So good.

Your meal sounds yummy Sunny. Good for you !

Rise and shine, I'll be waiting for all of you....I have plenty of snow shovels.

LOL...you know what ?? I wish I were close enough to you and I could come and help......so we could visit...Of course there would have to be coffee provided.

Why I would even bring the treats.

Sleep Well my friends...and keep warm.

Then nothing would get done. ....and that sounds great.

Warming up here. The next week will be downright summery. I have to get some groceries in.

I'll send you my list, you can get my groceries when you pick up yours, OK ?
Be safe my dear.
I wish my ice would melt...I need to finish my Valentine's Day Shopping...(And half of it should be in the mail no later than Tuesday)

If Tina is getting groceries than I'll take some fresh fruit. It is hard to find and too expensive to buy here....I am craving fresh berries.

I hope you get out to get your errands finished Junie.

They are calling for another storm tonight into tomorrow. I just got all the roofs finished with a full shoveling yesterday so it will be an easier storm to deal with this time around. The funny thing is that I have my new neighbor in a panic when I'm on the roofs....she stays in the window the whole time watching me in case I'd fall. She is a real sweetheart and proving to be an excellent new addition to our little area.

Sunny, you tell your neighbor thanks for me. I will worry less since I know someone is watching out for you.

Well I will not get out to get a little something for my grandsons in Virginia. But there is hope for my grands that live here.

HINT: never move into a house that has a hilly driveway. It is not a good move.

G'nite everyone. Sleep Well.

Sorry about the driveway Junie...when will Rod be able to start driving again?

Maybe your daughter or SIL could pick up something from you for the grands? GB called last week to find out if I 'made it to the pharmacy' to get him something for Valentine's Day.

It is storming again and school is cancelled once more. I always said that February has the shortest amount of days but always proves to be the longest month of the year.

Good morning.

Sunny, wel! I used the internet to help. The kids here will have something here before the 14th. My Virginia grands will get a bit of cash and some hard candy that I had on hand. I asked their mom twice about what kinds of candy I could send..and I got no response..so cash it is. I may send the youngest a pink plastic car that I had on hand.

On a good note, you can see places in my yard this morning.

I am glad that you have it all worked out. I hope I get a pizza or sub from the pizza shop for Valentine's Day.

Thanks, Sunny...I am glad too.

I hope you get a pizza or sub as well. They sound yummy.

Hi all,

I know I am practically never here... have been ill with some bug... again.. not covid but nasty and all I wanted to do was sleep...even hubby felt crappy and he is never sick... I finally got on comp to pay bills... and decided to let you all know I am not dead just didn't care for awhile if I died... I think if we didn't have out dog I wouldn't have gotten out of bed to do anything.. but had to feed and water him and let him out.. only time I wished we had a doggy door..LOL!

Well have to make sure I paid all the bills I needed to... and hopefully on time... if not oh well ..
Hope all is well with all of you and will try and get back sooner and more often now..
Nana
