kat57 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Spring is here! Er,at least the birds around here thought so today! Love it!!! I actually got hot for awhile last night...Sorry for those in colder climates,though-I hope it's a short winter for y'all. When ours finally gets here it will be purely miserable until late May,so I am eating up this warm,muggy spell for sure! ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Today's forecast is predicting a storm class 2 coming in during the afternoon/early evening hours so we'll see how it looks as we have a planned open meeting for parents this evening. Just might need to cancel that perhaps... Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roxxie2 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I love reading this thread! What one person thinks is COLD is a tropical day to another. This morning its 5 degrees out with light snow coming down! It looks pretty out but its a tad chilly! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalesq Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 It's 26 outside this AM. Clear and a little wind. Bracing! (For us.) it's supposed to drop lower over the next week, so things are covered where necessary. The remaining tomatoes on the vines were tomato-cubes this morning, LOL!

Anna Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Upgraded the storm to a 3 now, so am happy I am home safe and sound and we'll await the peak in a couple of hours... Hugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Anna, prayers for everyone's safety are headed your way. Thank you! We had a "fun" afternoon in school with some kids somewhat disturbed by it all but thankfully the all got home well before the winds started to really pick up pace. Some flickering in the lights so far so candles and battery operated lights in place. Coffee ready to go into the thermo flask so now it is mostly a waiting game.

Roxxie2 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 I bet you are excited to get set up and start building again Holly! I only have a table to work on right now but hoping for more space eventually. Our snow has tapered off but I discovered a thick layer of ice under it on my car. I have been outside for an hour chipping away at it so I don't have to be doing it tomorrow morning when its - 12 out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat57 Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I'm so sorry for all those who are having such cold weather,but,yes,you bet it's warm here!Whew! I am trying so hard,biting my lip to not complain,cuz when it's cold I physically huuurt!! But,yeah,we are in an odd spot in the universe,as my son puts it!LOL So happy for you,Holly-I can see those wheels turning in your head now,all the fun projects you've been wanting to do! Looking forward to eye candy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me-barbie Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 I am kinda wishing we had got the huge dump of snow the south and eastern portion of MB got. All we are getting is what is known as wrap around cold. As in -30 for the low on the weekend cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anna Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 The worst of this storm has passed us now, it is down graded to a level 2, still really windy so to speak. Add a nice i ey snow layer on top pf that and strong wind gusts so the mornings meeting is cancelled and we will start after lunch instead. Lots of debris on the roads, trains not running at all etc etc, limited routes for the busses collecting kids to school etc etc, guess I will be busy by the phone today...

grazhina Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 My son called me last night from the Pittsburgh area. He said it was rainy and 60 degrees and he was sitting on his front porch in shorts. Here in Maine we had chilly rain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Today is the last of our unusually warm weather, so I'm going to get the RV's fridge cleaned out (it grows the most interesting science experiments when it's turned off) and then we're taking the kid and doing errands in town and eating out.

Dalesq Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 It's raining. And getting colder. We had true Jack Frost this AM. There is a small chance of snow at the higher elevations...up Kellyannmo's way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 We noticed a temp drop between going in for supper and coming back out to come home; after DH & DS picked up half the light fixtures for the workshop at our neighborhood Lowe's we went into P'cola and passed right by another Lowe's on our way to our favorite thrift store, so we stopped and bought the rest of the light fixtures there. We ended up also going to Good Will. I found a sleigh that looks like 1:12! I'll make a seat for it and pose the Frosts in it in their Santa & Mrs Claus outfits to check. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparklepuppies Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 It's been very warm the last few days, 76 today, and will drop to 52 tomorrow! Ouch! By Tuesday it will be highs in low 40's, we're not too used to that here in ATL. Both my boys are leaving in the morning for school trips, one to DC, the other to NYC. They are going to have quite the temp shock, hope they don't freeze. Be safe and warm everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey6163 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Just cold with a little snow here , different sort of storm blew through here Kat , but all is well ( now that the internet and phone are back ) I thought I was going to lose what's left of my mind , lol. I'm super excited , we got the part ($200) for the pellet stove out front , so it nice and toasty and there's a round table in the dining room waiting for a dollhouse to be built on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kat57 Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 So glad you're back,friend! We missed your input and ideas! It's been raining here and a bit chilly-the wind makes it worse. I have had a personal rule,maybe a personal challenge,for several years now to not turn the central heat on until December. It was bitter cold a couple weeks ago,and it's harder now that I'm older,but my little Bionaire heat circulator got me through it! Since we started the month with some very nice weather this year,it's a week into December and I still haven't turned on the central! I remind myself what a lovely low power bill I'll have and so much energy 'saved' for someone else out there who really needed it! I can hardly bear it some mornings,but once the little heater gets going and I move around,I know it's much better than burning a bunch more electricity,for just the few minutes it takes to get ready for work. I can't imagine what it's like to have to burn wood pellets or all the ways others stay warm in the colder places! God bless you all!! Do I sound like a tree hugger nut,or are there other members out there who try ways to conserve energy or challenge themselves to do without? Geez,maybe I need to go to bed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morgansmith Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 Ha! I'm in bed. We use ultra efficient space heaters year round. It's 19° out and a tiny bit chilly inside except the beds are snuggly warm. For years I had a personal rule of sleeping with a window open (I know, not safe, I used a safety bar thing) until November. We wear warm clothes. Extra socks. I knit us hats But for sure...well below freezing here and more to come. Tomorrow night 12° is predicted. We've had 0° in years past. I hope not this year.

Stacey6163 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 Thanks Kat ! I try to keep the electric bill down and am constantly turning off unnecessary lights , Chad calls me the queen of darkness . :queen: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
