So..... who has hangovers today??!!

This morning...

This is HWY 54...

Sorry, guess I 'broke' the topic...

Sharing some pics....

I gotta settle for coffee and hot chocolate. Can't drink alcohol 'cause of my blood pressure meds.

Ya'll have one for me!!

It's officially blizzard conditions here today. Got into full swing about 4 this morning. White-out conditions. Snow is blowing sideways. Can't even see my neighbor's house. The town here has officially closed down, nothing is open. They're calling for 20 inches of snow here through today and tomorrow and as cold as -16 temps. We are pretty much snowed in, even with a 4WD truck. It is doubtful that the mail will even be delivered....I don't blame them! We're under a state of emergency and the National Guard is on standby to help folks stranded. This is nuckin' futs!! So far, no power outages. I heard this morning Louisiana is having tornadoes! That's just crazy!

Everyone, please take care and stay safe.

Be safe,(((Kristi)))

Ha! Fur babies count....'cept they can't really appreciate the 'ambience' of the occasion... ...so yeah...calling for volunteers to be TxGal's cuddle buddy!!!!

I'm guessin' you mean me... That would be my cuddle buddy, Bobby

Oh my goodness, please be safe. Maybe they can reschedule the surgery? Your poor dad...bless his heart...and yours

Got your Red Radio flyer all geared up??!!

Yeah, I don't think the major stuff has gotten 'round yet. Suppose to start really winding up in full force in the overnight hours and into Tuesday.

We're a bit more prepared for this stuff here than you folks are. Will keep good thoughts. Stay warm and safe!

Yeah, Florida...go figure!

Yeppers, pretty much the same here, 'cept they are saying a foot of snow or more here...yuck! Weather station is saying "historic event." I'd just as soon it bypass us altogether and leave my behind out of the history books!

Please be safe

Yeah, we're ready too..and least we THINK we are! We are fortunate to have alternate heat...wood burning stove, and a small generator that can keep the well and the fridge going.... not my hair dryer though!!

Keep good...and warm.. thoughts for the rest of us, Newark

dubz...dentist...ugh! Hope it goes well for ya!

Stay warm and safe...and find a cuddle budddy, Kristi!!

I thought of something else...if you have prescription meds, like I do, and are running low, get them filled now.

Some of you may already be aware, most states from Oklahoma eastward are under a Winter Weather Warning. Some areas (mine..Missouri) are expected to get anywhere from a half an inch to an inch of ice and then 12 to 18 inches of snow on top of that. That's pretty significant for most areas. Weather stations are calling it a possible "life threatening event" with a good possibility that some folks will lose power and thereby...heat and other essentials.

Please, if you're in this area, be sure you are prepared with extra water, food that can be consumed without the benefit of heat, i.e., crackers, snacks, lunchmeat, etc., batteries, candles, blankets. Things that need to be kept cold can be kept outdoors or in an out building in a cooler. Locate your shovels, snow blowers, salt/kitty litter and windshield scrapers. If you have a generator, check now, before the worst of it hits, that it is in working condition. Gas up your vehicles in case of emergency. If you have laundry that you need, like work clothes, get it done before the storms hits. Prepare guest rooms, if you have them, in case you need to take in some folks without alternate heat. Check on your neighbors, especially the elderly and folks who are living alone. Make sure pets have food, water and shelter, even if they are 'outside animals'. I advise bringing them indoors if at all possible...and don't forget to fill the bird feeders!

Don't mean to be an alarmist, but all the weather stations are saying this is going to be a pretty significant weather event with ice, blowing snow and snow drifts, and most likely the lose of power in some areas.


Keeping good thoughts that all stay warm and safe!

Hi sweetheart! I miss you doesn't seem to cover it adequately.

Hope your mom is doing well, please give her hugs for me!

I still remember some of our phone conversations and usually end up in a fit of laughter over something you said! I'll call ya soon, actually, I did try to call yesterday, buy got no answer, figured you hadn't gotten your hiney outta bed yet!!! (((Mark))

Bless your heart! I don't know 'bout me, but Buttercup was a real sweetheart! She could win over even the coldest of hearts! She and I were the best of buddies, she was my baby girl and I miss her every day.
