~We Have Serious Coldness~

Our weather report for tonite is as follows according to the

National Weather Service it says;

Areas of blowing snow...mainly before midnight. Snow showers.

then scattered snow showers after midnight. Total snow

accumulation 2 to 4 inches. Lows around 4 below. West winds

15 to 20 mph with gusts to around 40 mph.

Wind chill readings 18 below to 27 below zero.

I took these photos about 1 oclock this after noon..the arrow..it

shows the empty branch there.. look behind to across the road

you can barely see it.. this was NOT the worst. the wind is the

problem..40 miles an hour which I don't know km.. its powerful

well my front porch has snow on it.. I didn't get a photo of that..I

didn't want to keep the door open long enough to do that. lol..

We have been told over the TV that we are under a winter storm

warning and have to stay off the roads..which means there will

be no traffic other than emergency vehicles and snow mobiles..

the two roads on each side of me are the emergency snow routes

through town so they will be plowed first..which if the snow starts

to fall and the wind the roads will be very treacherous. This is

a very bad storm, could cause some problems, and the biggest

of this is carelessness with heaters..that's why so many homes

catch on fire.

If you look at the photos you will see the arrow I put in, the

top one the branch is empty..you see the 2nd there is a

squirrel..a red one, is up on that tree stump sitting..he was

running out there I saw him on the ground..then the wind got

stronger he jumped up on that stumpie..and sat there for quite

awhile..look behind the tree to across the street..you can see it

in the first one, hardly at all in the second..and in the third.

there are icicles hanging off the porch tomorrow I will see if I

can get a photo of them.. the temperature right now I just looked

at 6:30 PM is 3 °F -16 °C Light Snow.

To take a photo out of this new window I have to kind of sit

half on the couch and in my chair to be able to see..lol..well

ya .. the stupid break decided it wasn't gonna hold and I was

either going to do the splits or fall over onto the couch right

there..well needless to say where I went.. was no biggie. I

was pretty much over on the couch and only kept my right stump

on the seat for leverage getting back in my chair, my couch is

lower than my chair..we couldn't find the blocks Stanley made

for underneath it..or I would have no trouble getting on to the

couch behind me at all..just like before.. Only time its a bit hard

to do depends on what I am wearing..my couch is like a crushed

velvet type of material..and If I have a cotton or denim skirt on..

its hard to move..cuz it doesn't wanna and Im pulling my skirt

off if I don't lift high enough lol.. but silk..well I slide pretty good

on the couch material. I have a denim skirt on today and it

will stick to the couch so.. I kinda sat half half..I was lucky.. again..

lol. one of these times tho.. lol..

I called Dawn as she was going to come over and go shopping

and we were gonna exchange..Well with this CRAP out there I

did NOT want that girl on the road.. We have been warned off,

so she has no business out there, even though she has 4 wheel

drive.. Donnie said Kelli called her battery was dead on her truck

and he is going to see what he can do..dad is always the first to

help..My sis phoned..said "Hey, we was half way there, and said

no, we aint going no further, it was so bad, total white out, we

came back home".. She said they couldn't see a thing at times

and Im glad they went back home.. It would have been nice to see

her.. She said they are going up North to the UP to get some things

that have been donated to some missionaries in Haiti that Stan

goes and sees twice a year, he will be going again in March.. Lets

hope nothing happens this time because of something he didn't

do before he left.. I think he learned last year when she fell and

broke her leg..doesn't seem that long ago ..but it is..Im sure he

does NOT want to go undie shopping again lol..

Im gonna go shopping out in my kitchen I slept late today for a

change! I went to bed about 11..and got up about 7:45.. I did

sleep..but boy, my back was aching , I didn't move..stayed in

ONE position all that time .. flat on my back.. I sat up and ..I mean

ache? ya big time.. I could use such a good back rub..I cant ...

hmm ya..last time I was in the hospital for last amputation was

the last back rub I had.. I would LOVE to have a really good one,

THAT would feel SO good..Ok..who's a good massager? :-)

Time for dinner..and NOT carrots lol.. tomahtoes on toast. good

stuff with some parmesan cheese.. Nitey Nite :-)

Y'all have a good one now Y'hear? love ya.. and thanks. :-)

Always, Lois ****
