[Vaquero]

Mornin, sorry about the spare car Dave.
Been a heck of a week around here to.
That adult beverage sounds good.

37°here, the fife has been stoked and the coffee is just getting ready.

Last semi-decent day here in KC. Tune in to the Chiefs playoff game on Saturday afternoon to see how much snow we got on Friday and Saturday AM. Predicting 2-5", but they never know...

40 degrees today, though!

[RanchRoper]

50F this morning at 5am. This time last year was -20F. Raining a bit. Tea time.

[Sir Henry]

45 and raining

[Mags]

46 and not raining (yet). Maybe 54 later.

[daytime dave]

15 f and likely to stay there for the day. We got another 3-5 inches of snow overnight. Winter is decidedly arrived and hopefully here to stay for a bit.

Coffee in the Smith and Wesson mug this morning. Off to work a bit later.

I hope your day goes well. Tell us about it later.

[Mags]

Previous storm has moved east. Having a temporary break. 32 with sunny clear sky. Maybe 51 later.

They had been calling for snow this weekend all week. Had to take both Trucks in for service on Thursday. I got up at zero dark thirty and took the Titan into town for a 730am appt to have the Oil Changed, tires rotated and balanced and the State Inspection done. Miss Tina followed with the Frontier about 90 minutes later and waited with me for about a half hour, until the Titan was done. She took the Titan and went back toward the farm, stopping along the way to pick up storm supplies. Milk, bread, and the like. She checked the Propane Tank and found it was down below 60% so I called in and ordered a fill if they would be in the area. They only fill to 80% but if we lose power it could be out for three or four days. Gennie runs on propane.

Saturday around noon the Propane guy shows up and $503 bucks later we have a full tank. Starts snowing at 3pm and it's still snowing at ten to Midnight. Supposed to snow all the way thru Monday afternoon, and in our area they are calling for somewhere around 12 to 18" if all goes as predicted. The last storm was predicted the same way, and it stalled. We got 24" with drifts of 36". We will most likely lose power overnight, or by noon tomorrow, but we could get lucky.

Regardless, we are prepared.

Stay warm and safe.

16F this morning. Still no snow but forecasted later this week. Chores then tea time.

Well, Mother Nature decided to tease us a bit so far. Rather than the predicted 18", a light powder fell continuously last night all the way up to bedtime and was still falling when I went to bed at around 1am. I woke off and on during the night, and the light powder was still falling. Then, around 3am, the falling snow suddenly took on a sound as it began to hit the metal vents and gutters on the roof. "Uh, Oh," I thought. "Sleet" Well, nothing I could do about that, so I took "Option B" and rolled over and went back to sleep. Good plan.

I woke up this morning and we had a winter ground cover. About two inches of pristine snow... but, Mother had tricked us and overlaid the snow with that opaque ice formed by falling sleet. Everything was covered. I'll not be venturing out into it. The porches, deck, and the sidewalk around the shop are all dangerous, and the wheel chair ramp would be a wheelchair bobsled run. (Wait, That could be fun.)

Eh... Coffee is brewing and the stoneware soldiers are standing to on the counter ready to do their duty. This is a day to sit inside and enjoy a movie. How about: "Cool Running"

Good Monday morning to Everyone!
Just finished my double mocha out of my Henry mug. Snow still clinging to everything outside. Predicted is a slight warming trend this week, so snow should slide off the trees and bushes. Interesting that for next weekend, a duplicate winter storm is already forecast. Glad it will hit again on Saturday. There are less folk going to work, and it gives the street maintenance crews better access to clearing the roads.

Stay safe in your winter wonderland!

Coffee is on and Miss T is out doing her morning critter duties. It's twenty seven degrees. MaNature decided to be kind and all we got out of that long snowfall was a short couple inches covered in sleet. WE never lost power although there were plenty in the county that did. I understand another storm is headed this way. Hope "ma" wasn't warming up for a big show.

[Mags]

27. Clear, sunny and breezy. Maybe 49 later. Storm #3 broke up over the Pacific and Storm #4 looks like it's shifting North into Alaska. Next weather pattern in the Pacific is further south and headed into California. Current air pattern suggests it'll move across Nevada, Utah, SW Wyoming, Colorado and spread out going east from there.

ugly morning at Lake Conroe, just north of Houston .... cool & damp .... misting rain to the point car wipers have to be set mid way on the intermittent scale .... supposed to set in and rain most of the afternoon .... great day to rest, sharpen a few blades, watch The Shootist on the Western Channel and possibly reclean our BBS 44 Mag .... not because it needs it, simply because I enjoy doing so .. ..
