Just got off the phone with a friend who was telling me about their weather.

She said that since early this morning the snow has been nearly waist high and is still falling. The temperature is dropping far below zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale force. Her husband has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare.

She says that if it gets much worse, she may have to let him in.

Stay warm and have a safe and Happy New Year.....

This winter is weird! We have gotten way too much snow for this early in the year. And I won't even discuss temperature! It's all over the place including excursions into negative territory! Very unusual for this section of the country due to the nearness of the ocean. Even the weathermen are puzzled.

So be it!

Orrin, belated welcome to the octarians! From here on out you're lucky to hold you own, (pun intended)! If we're lucky, we all make it and the alternative ain't so great!!

Very, very cold here for the next couple of days. But the snowstorms have been missing us and we only have 3 inches on the ground that we got around mid-Dec.

Forecast has us back to 30 (and normal) by Friday though so just have to suffer for a couple of days. Already decided that I'm working from home tomorrow via laptop.

Stay safe and warm Amy. The temps by you are very dangerous. I can't even imagine.

Winter claims another victim! Last Friday, I slipped on black ice and broke my left wrist. Naturally, I'm a lefty! Finally had the surgery done yesterday, but one handed typing with my off hand is not too much fun! Will be mostly lurking until I get my hand back. First bone(s) I ever broke!!

Can't drive, stuck in the house, couldn't believe how bad day time television is. Thank God for 'On Demand'!

Can't even have a pop, medication!

I'll be watching!!

Oh nooooo.....stupid ice!

From a fellow "lefty" I feel your pain in not being able to use that hand. Crying or Very sad

Hope it heals fast and am glad you have found other things to watch instead of the usual "ick" on daytime TV.
