Good morning. It's 28F on its way to nowhere. The winter storm is forecasted to start mid-afternoon. They're forecasting 1/2" ice accumulation (this is not good) followed by the full-scale blizzard tonight/tomorrow. We're going out for breakfast this morning. After that, I need to get out and spread some ice melt. Then we're hunkering down .... probably futzing and watching football the rest of the day. Leftovers tonight. Stay safe and be good.
Good morning. 21-36F and overcast. We’re looking at the edge of Harry’s storm to hit here. Batten down those hatches, Harry. Looks like a good day to stay inside for much of the Midwest. Lots to put away or donate in drawers, guess this is a good time to do it.
Enjoy your weekend as best you can. Keep warm, read a book, listen to music. Stay healthy.

Good morning. It's 20F (RF 10F) on its way to nowhere. We are in the midst of the blizzard ..... it's forecasted to end by midnight. Yuck! Roads are impassible and highways are closed. Tonight's low is 2F. We are hunkered down with the hatches battened. Fixing a big breakfast in a bit and making a pot of chili for later on. Probably futzing for most of the day. I'll need to get out and start working on the driveway pad and walkways once it gets light. Watching football this afternoon. Be safe, be careful and be good.

Good morning. It's sunny and 15F, on its way to 35F. Harry's snow is headed this way. Supposed to start tonight, and snow all day tomorrow. WX Guessers say 6" - 12". I vote for 6". I'll do a little prepping for the snow today, then hunker down with the rest of you (figuratively, lol). I'm thinking either chili or soup for dinner. Gonna watch some NFL later on. How much snow are they guessing for you, Harry? Hope everybody has a safe, peaceful, and restful Sunday. If you've gotta go out, travel slowly.
Good morning. 15-30F, cloudy with a wisp of snow. Looks like a good day to find some popcorn and see a movie or two. Not much on the agenda today except a few chores.
Have a warm and comfortable day. Relax and enjoy the entertainment on TV. Save the outdoor chores for later.

The snow accumulation amounts keep changing for us. We're in the 6-10" zone now. It's 1330 Central and I shoveled at least 5" of snow and sleet off of the driveway pad and walkways. It wasn't too heavy. It's a full-scale blizzard out there right now. Visibility is down to nothing. I bet we get at least 10" since we've got 4-5 hours of heavy snow ahead of us. Just to the north of us 10-15 miles, they're getting significantly more accumulation. My buddy in central Missouri is expecting at least 15" from this storm.
EDIT: 1500 update. 8" on the ground. Visibility improving. Temp dropping. Now 19.

Good morning. It's 9F on its way 13F. Frigid. After it gets light and I have breakfast, I need to go out and clear the driveway and walkways. Looks to be around 8" of snow. That's a significant snow amount and fairly rare for around here. Main roads as passable but the rural roads remain impassable. I might look for the kiddo's saucers and do some sledding on the back hill 
. Futzing the rest of the day. Chili for lunch/dinner. Be safe and be good.

Monday errands and coffee group, then baking and who knows? I’m hoping to gather all of the leftover seeds and peruse a few catalogs for this season. Maybe I’ll work on the basement clutter.
Have a wonderful Monday. Stay warm and healthy.

Good morning. It's snowing and 25F (RF 17F), on its way to nowhere. Looks to be about 6" so far, calling for another 4-8" this afternoon. I MIGHT move some snow around later....but probably not, ha. We're not planning on going anywhere anytime soon, and if we need to, the truck has 4x4, lol. Probably futz around today. Might spend some time straightening up the grow room, and/or playing with seeds. Hope everybody has a marvelous Monday. Be safe out there, and enjoy the snow. Oh, and Harry, 
, lol.
, lol.DR: I was able to shovel enough to get the trucks out. No problem from then on. The driveway pad, the walkways and the entire length of the driveway are done now. Just waiting for it to melt. That might be awhile!Good morning. It's snowing and 25F (RF 17F), on its way to nowhere. Looks to be about 6" so far, calling for another 4-8" this afternoon.
