It will be on tomorrow night also called "Journey to the bottom of the Earth" channel 9 news.
News just said "Volunteer recall of Icey Hot Patches" causeing 2nd and 3rd degree burns.
It is 25° right now and the forecast is:
Tonight: Cloudy with snow showers developing after midnight. Low 17F. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph. Chance of snow 60%. Snow accumulations less than one inch.
Tomorrow: Light snow during the morning will become a mix of wintry precipitation during the afternoon. High around 35F. Winds SE at 10 to 15 mph.
Eagle calling at Ph, but some other bird is in the nest.
Dana and Mits, your cat was just in PA, by the time I saw it, it was too late to take a picture of it.
Was it the Black one Deb?
I think so, by the time I noticed it, I mostly saw the shape. I have been watching Kent, hoping for some eagles, but nothing so far.
My Avatar is haunted or magic. Now you see it, now you don't.
So far, Wanda, I haven't gotten to see it. It is just an X for me.
That was a northern flicker at PH. The blue ones are scrub jays. The BIG black ones are ravens.
I wonder what is happening at PH. The last time I heard screeching like that, an eagle came to the nest and ate a bird.
I see it, I see it!
Sometimes Photobucket has issues...
I can't even see the 'x' You're lucky! I just can see a empty rectangle box! lol
Thanks, Paula, I wondered what it was.
Now I see a ? in the box. It is haunted!!
I still see it :-)
Our eagle is sleeping
The owls are about to awaken for the night....
I hope we don't get snow showers even though that's what every weather station is saying.
Suzanne didn't know what it would be like being off in the middle of a week...She just might find out!
I guess Wanda's Valentine was just meant for me, since I am the only one that seems to see it. LOL
LOL, must be a firefox thingy now!
Eagle still snoozing...
Paula - Is that a
"Heart Throb"
I still can't see Wanda's...
What is it I am going to see?
I could have swore i left a blog about those owls earlier this evening.. I saw mom owl up and looking at her 4 eggs and then said something to Jo about the owl laying so many and how its survival of the fittest between them.. Remember last year? Well maybe the drugs are affecting my brain... Na prolley forgot to post it... Belle is asleep.. I am feeling so much better .. Hope everyone else is to
Can't be a firefox thingy because I have firefox. Do you Jill?
Jo - I think you and Deb have firefox or safari...I am using IE
No one else has reported in this evening, Nilla. Glad you feel better. Rest does that for the body...
What you going to eat?
JILL I can't even see your
avatar & I am straining my
eyes lol
Jo - meaning someone on Firefox can't see it now
Nilla - glad you are feeling better.
Jo - any update on Mits?
TIME FOR A SNACK
Remember I had an early dinner.....
Blueberry pie & vanilla ice cream..
BBL
Awake now...
Anyone see a switch earlier? Belle was on the nest last I saw...head back in wing again

“Egg Number Three!”
For the third consecutive year the eagles at the Norfiolk Botanical garden have laid a third egg. This is a testament to the richness of the habitat. With the freshwater of Lake Whitehurst adjacent to the Garden and the Chesapeake Bay nearby (not to mention ALL those tasty gulls), this pair have found the resources to support their remarkable production. The third egg was laid Friday Feb. 8th at 11:41 pm. A full week seperated the laying of the 1st and 3rd egg (just as last year). The parents will be busy once these eggs hatch, trying to provide enough food for three hungry mouths.
I'll bet our first and last egg were a week apart, also.
I have Safari, that must be it, Paula.
No Firefox here. My avatar is invisible. LOL. Wanda's is roses and Happy Valentine's day on it. Can't see the writing til you enlarge it tho. I don't think it is any particular software, I think it is the blog software because it comes and goes on mine.
Jo i made some Lipton noodle soup.. and some orange jello.. No Paula what i said was just a thoughti had because if i remember correctly they did kill n devore the smaller owls? Or was it anightmare i had?lol
Nilla - Now I am completely lost!
LOL im laughing Paula... I simply ment having so many eggs (owl) the larger usually do away with the competion?? Or am i wrong? Heavens i didnt mean to mess with your mind..lol
Nilla, it isn't the meds playing tricks on you. I do recall, and I'm sure Jo will too, a lot of cannibalism going on in that nest.
Sorry about the Avatar playing with your eyes. I will change it tomorrow and see if something else works better.
OWLS: I love the adults and the laying of the eggs. However, not sure I will watch them eat rats & things and Woo be unto the weakest
cause the strong will gobble him up!!
I didn't watch that one last year when it happened - I am surprising myself by watching the owls this season. I do have 3 very good sites:1 barn owl & 2 Great Horned Owls.
The owl sites with the laying of their eggs will fill in some off time while our eagles incubate.....
ANYHOW: I came in to say that since I was up much earlier then usual this morning -
Good Night
Peace to you & Yours
All of you get some rest tonight
and wake up refreshed for a new day!
Prayers for all of us - we all need one thing or another - especially our health. ((((HUGS))))
Thank God im NOT TOTALLY LOSING IT!!! thanks Jo and Wanda... I agree Jo it gets nasty but such is mother nature.. Bu ti dont think any horror could EVER be as bad as Belle in the ice and snow last year and this year is looking so promising.. I got an E-mail from Jim saying he thought the eggs looked larger and i agree.. guess when Lib did the doo he gave it an extra shot..lol opps did i say that???
NILLA...LOL
Here's one more weather report for the Lib & Belle area...it is 25° right now, going down to 18°.....
LIGHT SNOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVERNIGHT ACROSS WESTERN
MARYLAND...EASTERN WEST VIRGINIA AND SPREAD EAST TOWARD THE
MARTINSBURG...WINCHESTER AND HAGERSTOWN AREAS AFTER 1 AM AND
CONTINUE INTO TUESDAY MORNING. A COATING OF SNOW TO UP TO HALF
INCH OF SNOW IS LIKELY. WITH SUBFREEZING TEMPERATURES ANY SNOW

Wanda - yup, your picture is gone again for me!

Have a good evening...heading to bed.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SLEEP TIGHT
Good night, Everyone...

I guess Suz wisely stayed home today. As AJ said, it is going to get worse before it gets better. It is 18° and going up to 30°:
LOW PRESSURE WILL TRACK INTO THE AREA THIS EVENING. AHEAD OF THIS
SYSTEM...LIGHT PRECIPITATION WILL OVERSPREAD THE NORTHERN
SHENANDOAH VALLEY...NORTH-CENTRAL MARYLAND AND PORTIONS OF
NORTHERN VIRGINIA THIS AFTERNOON. WITH TEMPERATURES FORECAST TO

PRECIPITATION WILL LIKELY FALL AS SLEET AND FREEZING RAIN. AS A
RESULT...UP TO A TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE MAY ACCUMULATE ACROSS THE
REGION. THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE BRIDGES AND OVERPASSES GETTING A
GLAZE OF ICE INTO THIS EVENING.
NILLA, what on earth were you doing up half the night? If you couldn't sleep, I hope you catch up today.
AJ, you are right, Belle is a good Mama and Liberty is a good Dad.
I just checked out SHARON'S Bluefield, and she has no snow. Sorry Sharon, I know you like the snow. Just look at our nest and that will give you your Snow Fix.
STEVE HAS GIVEN US A NEW THREAD.
