Shar, guess it's good that the wedding is postponed----but can only imagine the logistics of doing that!! Hope Andrew does come home to spend time with his mama.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Thy leaves are so unchanging; O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Thy leaves are so unchanging; Not only green when summer's here, But also when 'tis cold and drear. O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Thy leaves are so unchanging!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Much pleasure thou can'st give me; O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Much pleasure thou can'st give me; How often has the Christmas tree Afforded me the greatest glee! O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Much pleasure thou can'st give me.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Thy candles shine so brightly! O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Thy candles shine so brightly! From base to summit, gay and bright, There's only splendor for the sight. O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! How richly God has decked thee! O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! How richly God has decked thee! Thou bidst us true and faithful be, And trust in God unchangingly. O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree! How richly God has decked thee! !"
Just heard a cop say that he's driven the entire length of I-81 in the county and didn't see a single plow. He says conditions are "pathetic". They had closed it earlier---don't know if it still is or not.
Not sure how work is going to handle getting new shift of dispatchers in....I trust that our Office of Emergency Services will be doing some of that, as they help with getting hospital folks in and out
WOOF ! Oh, to be a kid again and have not a worry in the world! I remember that snow of 1958 or 1959 - and a whole lot since then too.
I like your tree, Lynn! You be careful going out. Well, going to spend about 25 mins getting dressed and see what happens outside, will check all the rest of the pictures later.
Thinking of everyone and hope all are snug as a bug in a rug
Yes Mits...and this is history in the making here and now, isn't it? Whew! Glad you have your man there with you ♥ Made in the Snow, instead of Made in the Shade Today ☺
Spaghetti sauce simmering for dinner. Guess if power goes out before I cook the pasta, I can just smear it on top of garlic bread!
My Christie walked to work this afternoon. Luckily it's only 2 blocks....but I will sure worry tonight at 11 when she has to walk home---IF she doesn't have to pull a double because of no-shows. Her hubby left at 4 this AM and it took him 3 hrs. to get to his station---normally takes about 90 mins. tops. Since VA gov declared state of emergency, he gets double-time pay....and if he has to stay over in the morning past 7 he'll get triple time. Sounds like when I worked at GM!
Sorry about talking about mowing. lol Mowed and also used the leaf blower. Have on only a sweatshirt, no jacket. Then worked on the stream between the two ponds as it was full of leaves. Froze my hand! But it was nice being outside. Jack carried in some flower pots and some hanging baskets that had died. We are way behind in our yard clean up. Maybe after Christmas we will be able to do more IF the weather permits. We have alot of wood fern that dies back every winter. It needs to be cut back and raked. Joseph, Jacob and the Macie, the little girl next door trampled the fern to make a "fort" right in the big middle of one patch. Would have killed them if it had been green!
Oh, the poor bride, that had to postpone her wedding. Oh, what a nightmare!
Keep the reports coming. Enjoy reading about ALL your snow. Of course, your storm is big news here as well. Stay warm!
Kids here are going to get an early Christmas break. They weren't supposed to start until Weds. I'm sure they aren't disappointed. Just hope that if any holiday assignments, they thought ahead enough to bring home what they need...duh! Won'tplace any bets on that!
Last day of school around here was yesterday. Missing the last three days of school means missing their Christmas parties. Poor teachers can not get out and shop.
Getting the last of the snow shoveling done for the day. Letting the younguns in and out. Feeding the birds so Sharon can't say I neglected them and let them starve to death while she is gone. : )
I hope she pays you well, Thelma! I was typing away and I didn't realize that Ceil had called us over. This is what I typed....... My nap is over - took a nice almost hot shower - drinking a cup of mellow coffee and I'm still NOT ready to go out in the Snow to play! WOW - still coming down and I it is almost waist deep, well at least above my knees! Hubby won't go out and measure. Don't blame him!
Ho,Ho, Ho ... don't have to dream of a white Christmas! This is a doozie. We have about 10 inches so far and it's still snowing. I hear the winds are supposed to start in afew hours - NOT GOOD! Where we live the roads drift terribly and it may take days to get out of town. we have an alleyway between our house and the neighbors on one side and without the neighbor's former fil, we wouldn't get out of the drive either.
I remember that snowstorm in '59. I was the oldest child and daddy was at work so I had to shovel all the way to the end of our property (about 250 feet) to get to his Beagles and feed and water them. Electricity was out for days and fortunately we had a gas stove. Mom would bake and cook to keep us warm.
more later if we still have the power. Stay safe everyone!!
Lynn - Glad the cop didn't see any other motorists on the road - Thank goodness people use common sense on days like this. Doesn't make sense to be plowing when it hasn't yet stopped.
Our neighbor is going to burn up his lawn mower/plow out front. I think he just likes to play in the snow.
Well you all are having quite the snowstorm. Our second big one of the year is due on Wed. I do hope for the most part you are all in and warm and everyone keeps their power. Thats the part that always bothers me, well and getting my old short legged little dog out. He will not use decks or paths of anykind. Insist he has to find the right spot and it can't be anywhere where folks would possibly walk even if all he is goign to do is pee. Makes it tough in blizzard like conditions. We put in a very long 3 days back about 10 days ago, so I do kind of know what you are all goign through. Please be very careful. Andrew Go Home!!!!
I'm hungry after all that shoveling, so grabbed a snack. Dogs are out back again, playing in the snow. Nugz thinks he can catch the chickadees at the far feeder...NOT! Snow is really slowing him down, LOL.
Newspaper online says 20" in downtown Martinsburg w/ 35 mph. winds-----we have not had any significant wind, thank goodness! Strange how much difference 15 miles makes!
Hedgie something going on Rt 11 wreck after they get that cleaned up. They are going to plow Rt 11 and send all traffic down 11 and try to fix up I 81. Next door neighbors parents are in from N.C. for their Christmas with family. Stuck in motel Holiday Inn up here near us off of exit 20 but she can't get to them and they can't get to her.
Hello all! LOVELY weather, huh? We went out about 3 hours ago and we had about 20" then, did some preliminary digging around the vehicles (girls who insist on shoveling snow, with blatant disregard of husband's wishes and doctor's orders are VERY BAD) and refilled all the bird feeders. It's still snowing like crazy and there is about 3 more inches now. The local news is now saying 30 inches. UGH. I put some pictures on my blog.
Interstate 81 northbound at Exit 20 near Falling Waters, W.Va., is closed due to an overturned tractor-trailer, according to police. The closure began at about 3:45 p.m. Traffic is being detoured onto U.S. 11.
Lynne, your Joker looks like my Bandit - black & white.
The other pics are full of white stuff ;o) and this is only December. If the farmers almanac is correct, we'll be screaming for some brown in February. Not a pleasant thought.
Hi, Everyone! Whoa, you guys aren't kidding about it being a White Christmas! We're back from a side trip into the wine country of Temecula, CA. Beautiful day today--not at ALL like Christmas! Sorry, you guys! I would actually prefer some snow. (sigh...) Went wine tasting, had a DELICIOUS lunch, went sightseeing. Have decided not to go to 'A Christmas Carol' at the playhouse, but want to get a DVD and watch it tonight(The one with George C. Scott). Fireplace in the room is too pretty to waste.
Diann, cute grandson!!! Shirley, your home is lovely, and pics are very interesting---don't know anything about that fancy stuff that Will does! Lynne, I am going to have to get my naggy nurse hat on for you, too (put it on for Diann last night!)----DO NOT do any more shoveling! Good pics from you, too---is that the cat whose head got stepped on??
Still no luck getting to the sick person yet.....apparently up on "my" mountain somewhere----maybe near my old-life home....hey, maybe it's the ex! More likely his bro. Humvees can't get here for 4-8 hrs.
Had the BEST appetizer at lunch! Deep fried tiny red and yellow beets, deep fried spinach leaves, and brie cheese rolled in bread crumbs. ALMOST tempted me to become a vegetarian! Had chicken rice soup, and caramel custard for dessert. Totally yummy! Had hot sourdough breadsticks to dunk in the soup.
Andrea, I just ate dinner but your lunch menu is making me hungry - Now how could that be! Thanks for reporting all this to us - takes our minds off the snow! ((hugs))
LOL....I remember the '73 storm---think it was Feb....no power, so cold...I was so sick w/ morning sickness....nearby farmer was finally coming to take me out with a snowmobile when power came back on! So have never had to evacuate!! (except a hurricane evac from St. Croix!).
Oh, my! SO unwound I feel like a dishrag! Lynn, my BP is checking out at 120/61! Can't get much better than that. Praying that the rescuers are able to get to the sick person in record time, and that there won't be any more serious wrecks on the road. Was sorry to hear that a wedding had to be postponed--that's a shame. Hope nobody's out shoveling snow right now. Makes more sense to wait until it stops snowing. Stay inside by the fire and sip a hot toddy!
Megan, I like your snowman! Very cute! Shirley, your house looks just beautiful! Hope Will doesn't start climbing the walls. Sharon, hope Andrew gets home to see you before it gets too bad out there! Gosh, hope the power stays on for all you guys! Our poor Belle and Lib! The nest is a big snowdrift--hope they've found someplace to roost out of the winds!
Dana, if you're here, how are you doing? Hope you're not having to go out in such weather. Like your rendition of 'O Christmas Tree!' Jo, a school snow day sounds like a plan to me! Glo, hope you and Dex are managing OK. Hope Dex doesn't get TOO picky! Don't want him to bust a kidney!
Paula, I'm glad you've stopped shoveling for the day. Hope your driveway stays open! Lynn, Hope Christie doesn't have to do a double shift. Please let us know when she gets home from work so we don't worry. Margy, Really like your cardinal! Hope you don't get called in to work! Diann, Your little Max is a cutie! Jo, We're going to try making the appetizer when we get home. Best beets I ever ate!
Good that I have Will here to do the shoveling. I grabbed the laser pointer images off his Facebook page. One does look like an alien attack of some kind.
Would be nice to have some Christmas lights on my house in the snow pic. Would like to put a tree in the front window, but will be shopping for gifts before I shop for trees right now.
Jack and I are back from the grocery store. Had to get there this afternoon as the Cowboys attempt to play football this evening. Had to get my 10% discount at the grocery store. This time Jack wore the jersey!
Jack is presently out in his shop cracking pecans. He will sit and shell them as he watches football.
Bacon Pasta and a bottle of wine tonight! We are having the pasta just so we have the excuse to have wine. lol
Paula, everytime I see your avatar I think there is a bug crawling on the screen. A little spidey! lol
Lynne, you need your head examined! You should not be out shoveling snow!
Neighbors on one side came over today and brought homemade cookies and bottle of beer bread mix. Interesting! They also brought over "Buddy", their new 8 week old puppy. He is soooo cute!
Okay, been out in the weather. City streets, not so bad. Parking lot at apartment, been plowed. I have to got to eat! One must be very hungry to nearly burn a grilled cheese sandwich! I will cruise the photo galleries while chowing down. I guess 9-1-1 nightshift made it into work. xo
Shirley like your pictures. Your house looks fantastic in the snow.
Andy, like your latest picture of the two of you. WAh! That is me crying! I want to go wine tasting with you! Jack and I LOVE wine tasting in Paso Robles.
"The store was a MAD house tonight, people were going crazy for snow boots. People were coming it at 8pm and seeing we had no sizes left and were shocked, I told them that EVERYONE was buying snow boots today. I had one woman that thought maybe I had a stock pile hiding in the backroom... umm why would I be hiding snow boots? Our goal is to make money! We close at 9pm, I locked the doors at about 9:10pm and we must have had 20 people come and try to get in after I locked them."
So sorry for the bride and groom and their postponed wedding.
Seems everyone is coping well with the weather and the inconveniences.
Next door neighbor's college son came over and offered to shovel snow (for a price, of course) and I am completely stunned -- Darth agreed! At 72 and not the best health, it is time for him to let go of these life-threatening chores and his ego. Thank you Lord for the blessing.
Nest still undisturbed. Hope Belle and Lib are as warm as can be in a sheltered tree.
Looks like we got about 3 ft. of snow at our place, not counting drifts. So happy we have not had a power outage, yet. Means I got grades submitted to Registrar this afternoon. Lolly, again, great school humor!
Think I'll go try to warm up. Since coming home from the hospital, I don't seem to be able to warm up. Chill seems to be internal. Oh well, blankets and a heater work.
Wow, sure are some nice pictures here on your all's blogspots. Lolly, how do I find the Puppy Buddy ?
Judie - do you have one of those little herbal heat sacky things you warm up in the microwave? Love those little rascals !
Lolly - - I go back Wednesday night at midnight, but they could pull me in for a shift this week-end I guess. I have stayed over many a time over the 21 years of work there, so I am glad it is someone else's turn.
Good that you got your grades posted. That is always such a relief. I really need to start reading those research papers. I always say that good papers are easy to grade. Bad ones, however, can be tough. We will see what I have this time around.
I enjoyed Lolly's little stories, too.
Three feet of snow. That's more than we have, but I think we are getting close to 2 feet.
Ha Ha, last night someone had a complaint about loud music! Way out in the sticks. Called back to check on the situation, complainant said the power flickered and went out for a few seconds, and the loud music came to a screeching halt. So he canceled his request for police. People were really fired up last night, seemed like they wanted to get all their figthing in before the snow started.
Will started a fire in the fireplace and we kept hearing sizzling sounds and sounds of something shifting. I think there was some snow in the chimney. Hope it is gone now. Wouldn't want it to drop suddenly into the fireplace.
It's a great story, Shirley... when one of us would reach 100, or 200, or 300 posts like that, Wanda would do us a makeover....she can explain it much better! turned us all into beautiful creatures. There had been a story somewhere on some news place, about poop being used as a facial...something like that.
MARGY, I am not sure what happened to the POOP SHOOT FACIALS...I think they may be gone with the wind. I didn't remove them, but don't think they are there now. I think it was NIGHTENGALE POOP that was suppose to work wonders on the face. Shirley, we heard about the Poop Facial from, maybe Dana. So instead of giving WAX everytime someone commented at 100-200-300, etc. I gave them POOP SHOOT FACIAL and posted a photo of their new apperance after the FACIAL. I know, CRAZY, but we had fun with it:) Paula was the first one to receive the facial, and it worked so well on her face that it turned her into a BABY...that was the first photo:)
Hi again. A nap and a nice warm bath does wonders!! Oh, no, poop shoot facials again....what a hoot that was! Shirley, now you know how truly deprived you've been of hilarious antics!!Yes, think it was Nightengale poop----method came out of China, if I remember correctly!! Margy, your Blazer looked like it was thoroughly de-pooped!! Good pics! Judie, SO glad that you were able to keep Frank from trying to shovel. Wondering how in the world I am ever going to get out of here------Bill has been plowing the shopping center continuously with our friend Frank since midnight last night. (Owner of center leaves truck here---he's in Westminster,MD---and then pays Bill to plow the lot. He also gets free use of the truck the rest of the year whenever needed for hauling, as it's much bigger than his Avalanche which is just like mine.)
Hey Margy. Nope. No herbal thingies. Just a red liquid in a corked bottle. Not an option with meds. Blankets and heater are it!
Diann, adorable grandson. A real keeper.
Saw the one-sided buck at PixPa. Was eating but seemed a bit nervous. All else seems quiet. Even Diego is out and about somewhere.
Wanda, I need a makeover, please! I feel as if I'm at the 300 mark. Really in serious need.
Turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others. Andy, so happy you are having such a lovely time. Please continue to enjoy. If you have time, please set the alarm at the end of your day.
Peter, Paul and Mary on MPT, and selected Christmas favorites on WETA. Nice ♫♪
Judie - you don't ingest the sackie things, just put them where you want quick warmth, they spend a lot of time on my back...either way I hope you find exquisite warmth.
Oh, the Poop Shoot Facial of Movin' Jim's was always one of my favorites! Well, they all my favorites, including Racy Iris and Anne-Marie in her glorious RED Dress. It was a bunch of fun! Wanda is so talented!
I'm watching it too, Shirley. The ad before the show, reminds me of you, teachers spending over 500 dollars out of their own pockets for their school activities, sure it applies to all our teachers here ☺
It's kinda nice to ponder all the independent snow-plowers making some extra money right....knock off some bills, keep the wolf from the door for awhile, and have a little for the babies and the sweethearts for Christmas, maybe?
Wanda, missed your mention of Sharon. She and Sissy made it to Bluefield safely last night, but it took them a long time!! We had mentioned it last night---sorry you missed it! They had also posted on FB.
The energy bandit has made a very large withdrawal here, need to find the warm bed and pillows... seems a good time to take couple of handfuls and feetfuls of prayers with me.
Take Care, all, Hope all is well in all our Eagle Corners....
Margy, plowing is SO physically hard----having to constantly raise and lower and turn the blade----hydraulics are great but the controls are stiff, and it really causes him pain. The lot is really such a big job, and I hate to even ask him to come do my driveway. I prefer to assume that he will....he always has before, but we haven't had anything enough to need plowing for 3 yrs.!
Wedding is just postponed until tomorrow at 4 so everything should still be okay. They are having the reception in the fellowship hall of the church, tuxedos are still good, its all good! :)
And I have seen Andrew about 10 minutes since I got to Bluefield yesterday. He promises to spend the tomorrow evening, night and Monday with us. I did get a hug. He tried to do the one armed hug but I made him give it up!
I watched a Hallmark Christmas movie. I love those shows. Melissa and crew are doing fine... Played in the snow - Kristen had talked to them earlier before she called me.
Jenny is off work now until after Christmas - Charlie will be over tomorrow with snow blower.. Next door neighbor did a good bit. I need someway to repay him - some homemade comfort food.
Hi, a new White thread!! Been working on pictures to email to family and friends who don't live around here. Our friends are visitting daughter in NC & were planning to all ready be home, but NO. they've been calling regularly for updates! I will put some pics on later, but they can't be different that everyone elses! BTW, The Postman never rang once!!!! Need food or dessert~~BBL
It took awhile to close down the roost here, laundry in, dishes done ( ha ha, dishwasher loaded) and now have a chance to say Good Night one more time ☺
Good to see Sharon, Loretta, Jo and I have been schmooozing with Hedgie Shirley and Wanda before this.
All sounds well, kids are enjoying the snow, big kids are enjoying the little kids... and now, God Bless Us, Every One, on WETA, knew there was a reason to stay up!
Lynn, hope your precious Christie gets home on time !
Love to you all....Sharon, good news about Sunday Wedding..
Loretta, my post man made a delivery today, Bless his heart.
Hey Norma!!!!!! Go Cowboys!!!!!!! So exciting! They played football!!!
LOL I think I need a poop shoot facial!
So happy for the bride and groom that all is "a go" for tomorrow.
Nite all! Going to church in the morning and then more baking in the afternoon. I do love Christmas! I love baking...but it is so fattening! Christmas gives a blessing to all baking! Wahoo!
Love you all! Hope you are safe and snug! Sweet dreams and I will see you tomorrow.
Computer went to sleep on me. Had to wake it up so that I could say good night and go to sleep myself!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE SWEET DREAMS PRAYERS FOR ALL
So thankful that we all have nice warm beds to crawl into. Had a young man to stop by here yesterday looking for some way to make money...does not have a home or nice warm bed:(
Good late night, everyone! Slept for a while, then woke up, and have been catching up on the blog. Really impressed by the pictures of all the snow. Margy, the snowfall totals just blow me away! Feel really sorry for the homeless people back there, and hope they have found someplace to shelter for the night. Hope our eagles have, too! Judie, glad to hear that Frank/Darth decided not to shovel snow! Brrrrr! A job better left to college student--God bless him! Hope you are able to get warmed up nicely. I have the same problem when the weather's cold, but it's because of one of my blood pressure meds. It slows down circulation to your extremities, and when my hands and feet are really cold, the rest of me feels frozen! I'm really thrilled for you that you got your grades posted and can relax now, for a while. Hope your foot and leg are feeling much better. Lynne, hope your arm is doing well--hope no ill effects from shoveling snow! Well, it's pretty late, so better go get some more sleep. Will talk to you in the morning. Prayers being said for everyone, and for the blizzard situation back there. Sleep warm and snugly! Love you guys! :o]
Good morning everyone. That would be lots of poop shoot Wanda:-) LOL
I reckon most of you will be staying inside unless you have 4 legged friends or you are the motor behind the shovel or the hand behind the snow blower. Stay warm and safe. I am getting ready for coffee and donuts and church for Christmas Sunday the music will be awesome today and well the pastor will do his job very well too, he always does. "This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it". God bless you all with a sense of His peace today. So many need to feel that.
Morning Glo:) I'm going to join the Capt. in a cup of coffee, then dress in outdoor clothes and boots and grab some photos of the woods. I love to walk the woods and see what animals have visited us after a snow...tracks are so telling. Gene says there will be no tracks in this deep stuff! We'll see:)
Good morning! George came and told me that I had to get up and feed him.
No snow plow on our street yet. Will has done a beautiful job on the driveway.
Blue jays are in my backyard.
Talked with Rus last night. He's bringing his girlfriend again. This is a first--girlfriend for two holidays. Maybe a good sign. We will have a full house. I will have to tell Susan that she will be my roommate. I do not think she will mind at all.
Two eagle lovelies in BWO nest. E nest looks like someone HAS been there, but not right now. Think the osprey need to tell the eagles to "go to your own nest!" No evidence that Belle and Lib have been home since the snow fell.

Wow, totals are really going up all around. Need to measure again....
14"....and still coming down hard.
Thanks for the new thread Steve. Hope you are enjoying the snow!
I think Bedford has 14 inches. We are suppose to get strong winds. If we get that it sure will cause major drifts.
Heading out for round 2...
Our church activities for tomorrow have been postponed. Good thing! Now set for the 3rd.
Curry dip is made---yum!
Shar, guess it's good that the wedding is postponed----but can only imagine the logistics of doing that!! Hope Andrew does come home to spend time with his mama.
thanks for the call over Ceil...
15" now.
Hedgie-Lynn
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;

Thy leaves are so unchanging;
Not only green when summer's here,
But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;

Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
From base to summit, gay and bright,
There's only splendor for the sight.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee!
Thou bidst us true and faithful be,
And trust in God unchangingly.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
How richly God has decked thee! !"
Just heard a cop say that he's driven the entire length of I-81 in the county and didn't see a single plow. He says conditions are "pathetic". They had closed it earlier---don't know if it still is or not.
OK, done shoveling for today! Got the driveway done out to the street, maybe the guy won't plow me in again!
BW cams are cleared up...not as much as here!
Whoo Boy ! this is serious stuff!
going to get out to clean off the buggy again...Ha Ha, will be working on that until dark.
One thing, lots of folks are out there making some money plowing!
My heart aches for anyone with something really important like a wedding planned for today!
Sharon.... let us know when you get that Andrew Hug ♥
Hold on and don't let go !!
I see where the wedding has been postponed....
:(
Not sure how work is going to handle getting new shift of dispatchers in....I trust that our Office of Emergency Services will be doing some of that, as they help with getting hospital folks in and out
WOOF ! Oh, to be a kid again and have not a worry in the world! I remember that snow of 1958 or 1959 - and a whole lot since then too.
as far as road plowing and DOH -, there is only so much mere mortals can do against this kind of act of Nature
Paula I love your lone little snowflake on your avatar...
Dana, does that mean you like my tree?? :)
Margy we remember those storms living in this area, because they are few and far between thank heavens:)
I like your tree, Lynn!
You be careful going out.
Well, going to spend about 25 mins getting dressed and see what happens outside, will check all the rest of the pictures later.
Thinking of everyone and hope all are snug as a bug in a rug
I'll be back in a little while, I think.
xoxo
Reagan Airport closed till 6;00p.m. tomorrow night.
Yes Mits...and this is history in the making here and now, isn't it?
Whew! Glad you have your man there with you ♥
Made in the Snow, instead of Made in the Shade Today ☺
Spaghetti sauce simmering for dinner.
Guess if power goes out before I cook the pasta, I can just smear it on top of garlic bread!
My Christie walked to work this afternoon. Luckily it's only 2 blocks....but I will sure worry tonight at 11 when she has to walk home---IF she doesn't have to pull a double because of no-shows.
Her hubby left at 4 this AM and it took him 3 hrs. to get to his station---normally takes about 90 mins. tops. Since VA gov declared state of emergency, he gets double-time pay....and if he has to stay over in the morning past 7 he'll get triple time. Sounds like when I worked at GM!
I'll just copy out Paula's snow wardrobe info and go step by step
Oh ha ha, just remembered I have a heavyduty pair of outdoor Camouflage Bib Overalls....
I love your tree Hedgie ( :
Hi Thelma.....How does Buddy like the snow.
19 inches on back deck table....hope it stops soon.
Sorry about talking about mowing. lol Mowed and also used the leaf blower. Have on only a sweatshirt, no jacket. Then worked on the stream between the two ponds as it was full of leaves. Froze my hand! But it was nice being outside. Jack carried in some flower pots and some hanging baskets that had died. We are way behind in our yard clean up. Maybe after Christmas we will be able to do more IF the weather permits. We have alot of wood fern that dies back every winter. It needs to be cut back and raked. Joseph, Jacob and the Macie, the little girl next door trampled the fern to make a "fort" right in the big middle of one patch. Would have killed them if it had been green!
Oh, the poor bride, that had to postpone her wedding. Oh, what a nightmare!
Keep the reports coming. Enjoy reading about ALL your snow. Of course, your storm is big news here as well. Stay warm!
Haz Mat fuel leak somewhere, Margy..
Kids here are going to get an early Christmas break. They weren't supposed to start until Weds. I'm sure they aren't disappointed. Just hope that if any holiday assignments, they thought ahead enough to bring home what they need...duh! Won'tplace any bets on that!
Last day of school around here was yesterday. Missing the last three days of school means missing their Christmas parties. Poor teachers can not get out and shop.
My cinnamon rolls are ready to put in the over, so back out to the kitchen.
BBL
Well, I am working now. As I said, no wedding today but hopefully tomorrow.
Getting the last of the snow shoveling done for the day. Letting the younguns in and out. Feeding the birds so Sharon can't say I neglected them and let them starve to death while she is gone. : )
Driveway where will shoveled--looks like it's 18-24 inches deep. I did not measure, though.
16" and counting.......
I hope she pays you well, Thelma!
I was typing away and I didn't realize that Ceil had called us over. This is what I typed.......
My nap is over - took a nice almost hot shower - drinking a cup of mellow coffee and I'm still NOT ready to go
out in the Snow to play! WOW - still coming down and I it is almost waist deep, well at least above my knees! Hubby won't go out and measure. Don't blame him!
Finally got the downstairs vacuumed...going to go wrap for awhile!
Don't think we'll have a visit tonight!
I haven't gone out either, Jo.
Ho,Ho, Ho ... don't have to dream of a white Christmas! This is a doozie. We have about 10 inches so far and it's still snowing. I hear the winds are supposed to start in afew hours - NOT GOOD! Where we live the roads drift terribly and it may take days to get out of town. we have an alleyway between our house and the neighbors on one side and without the neighbor's former fil, we wouldn't get out of the drive either.
I remember that snowstorm in '59. I was the oldest child and daddy was at work so I had to shovel all the way to the end of our property (about 250 feet) to get to his Beagles and feed and water them. Electricity was out for days and fortunately we had a gas stove. Mom would bake and cook to keep us warm.
more later if we still have the power.
Stay safe everyone!!
Lynn - Glad the cop didn't see any other motorists on the road - Thank goodness people use common sense on days like this. Doesn't make sense to be plowing when it hasn't yet stopped.
Our neighbor is going to burn up his lawn mower/plow out front. I think he just likes to play in the snow.
Well you all are having quite the snowstorm. Our second big one of the year is due on Wed. I do hope for the most part you are all in and warm and everyone keeps their power. Thats the part that always bothers me, well and getting my old short legged little dog out. He will not use decks or paths of anykind. Insist he has to find the right spot and it can't be anywhere where folks would possibly walk even if all he is goign to do is pee. Makes it tough in blizzard like conditions. We put in a very long 3 days back about 10 days ago, so I do kind of know what you are all goign through. Please be very careful. Andrew Go Home!!!!
I'm hungry after all that shoveling, so grabbed a snack. Dogs are out back again, playing in the snow. Nugz thinks he can catch the chickadees at the far feeder...NOT! Snow is really slowing him down, LOL.
Radar keeps looking like the snow will end soon, but snow keeps coming, and coming hard. Wind is whipping it around.
Anyone catch the eagles at BWE??
Our night light is on at the nest. I didn't see the eagles at BWE, Paula - did you catch a glimpse of them?
Time for me to think about fixing supper.
Stay warm and dry........
Rescuers are having to hike in to some place for a sick person....at least a mile......
Newspaper online says 20" in downtown Martinsburg w/ 35 mph. winds-----we have not had any significant wind, thank goodness! Strange how much difference 15 miles makes!
I don't know how to add pics to the blog, so I added this as my avatar for now.
This is Max's Christmas greetings to Nana & Pop Pop
Hedgie something going on Rt 11 wreck after they get that cleaned up. They are going to plow Rt 11 and send all traffic down 11 and try to fix up I 81. Next door neighbors parents are in from N.C. for their Christmas with family. Stuck in motel Holiday Inn up here near us off of exit 20 but she can't get to them and they can't get to her.
Cute picture, Diann.
I posted a few pictures Will took.
Hello all! LOVELY weather, huh?
We went out about 3 hours ago and we had about 20" then, did some preliminary digging around the vehicles (girls who insist on shoveling snow, with blatant disregard of husband's wishes and doctor's orders are VERY BAD) and refilled all the bird feeders. It's still snowing like crazy and there is about 3 more inches now. The local news is now saying 30 inches. UGH.
I put some pictures on my blog.
I think Will is getting cabin fever. He is out shoveling again.
Hope they get to the sick person and are able to help, Lynn.
OFficials are requesting Humvee availability from the military, and have a call out for snowmobiles.
Lynne, don't overdo it with that shovel!
Interstate 81 northbound at Exit 20 near Falling Waters, W.Va., is closed due to an overturned tractor-trailer, according to police. The closure began at about 3:45 p.m. Traffic is being detoured onto U.S. 11.
For the sick person, or in general, Lynn?
Lynne, your Joker looks like my Bandit - black & white.
The other pics are full of white stuff ;o) and this is only December. If the farmers almanac is correct, we'll be screaming for some brown in February. Not a pleasant thought.
Hope your arm is much, much better.
Hi, Everyone!
Whoa, you guys aren't kidding about it being a White Christmas!
We're back from a side trip into the wine country of Temecula, CA. Beautiful day today--not at ALL like Christmas! Sorry, you guys!
I would actually prefer some snow. (sigh...) Went wine tasting, had a DELICIOUS lunch, went sightseeing.
Have decided not to go to 'A Christmas Carol' at the playhouse, but want to get a DVD and watch it tonight(The one with George C. Scott). Fireplace in the room is too pretty to waste.
Here's a picture of some of the grapes at the vineyard where we ate lunch.
Diann, cute grandson!!!
Shirley, your home is lovely, and pics are very interesting---don't know anything about that fancy stuff that Will does!
Lynne, I am going to have to get my naggy nurse hat on for you, too (put it on for Diann last night!)----DO NOT do any more shoveling! Good pics from you, too---is that the cat whose head got stepped on??
Still no luck getting to the sick person yet.....apparently up on "my" mountain somewhere----maybe near my old-life home....hey, maybe it's the ex! More likely his bro.
Humvees can't get here for 4-8 hrs.
Had the BEST appetizer at lunch! Deep fried tiny red and yellow beets, deep fried spinach leaves, and brie cheese rolled in bread crumbs. ALMOST tempted me to become a vegetarian! Had chicken rice soup, and caramel custard for dessert. Totally yummy! Had hot sourdough breadsticks to dunk in the soup.
Andrea, I just ate dinner but your lunch menu is making me hungry - Now how could that be! Thanks for reporting all this to us - takes our minds off the snow! ((hugs))
LOL....I remember the '73 storm---think it was Feb....no power, so cold...I was so sick w/ morning sickness....nearby farmer was finally coming to take me out with a snowmobile when power came back on! So have never had to evacuate!! (except a hurricane evac from St. Croix!).
Lisa at BWE has a great pic of their eagle couple in the snowy nest....
Wonderful pic, Jo----wonder how Lisa got that with the cam frozen at an earlier time?
Hope someone can get to the sick person soon.
Lynn, I need a nagging nurse - thanks! Never gave a thought to freeze - totally forgot about that possibility. Lynne, listen to our nurse!!
Just heard the news - power outages in the area. Now it begins.
Everyone stay safe and warm.
Blessings around in case I can't get on later.
Oh, my! SO unwound I feel like a dishrag! Lynn, my BP is checking out at 120/61! Can't get much better than that. Praying that the rescuers are able to get to the sick person in record time, and that there won't be any more serious wrecks on the road.
Was sorry to hear that a wedding had to be postponed--that's a shame.
Hope nobody's out shoveling snow right now. Makes more sense to wait until it stops snowing. Stay inside by the fire and sip a hot toddy!
WV Announcement:
Berkeley and Jefferson County public schools have canceled classes and activities for Monday
Megan, I like your snowman! Very cute!
Shirley, your house looks just beautiful! Hope Will doesn't start climbing the walls.
Sharon, hope Andrew gets home to see you before it gets too bad out there!
Gosh, hope the power stays on for all you guys!
Our poor Belle and Lib! The nest is a big snowdrift--hope they've found someplace to roost out of the winds!
Guy across the street has been trying to shovel out his one car for hours now.
Is the sick person Hedgie that little girl they where trying to get to?
I-81 is re-opened......wonder for how long?! Now shutting down state route that parallels it.
News time - Hope it isn't all about the weather again!
BBILW
Dana, if you're here, how are you doing? Hope you're not having to go out in such weather. Like your rendition of 'O Christmas Tree!'
Jo, a school snow day sounds like a plan to me!
Glo, hope you and Dex are managing OK. Hope Dex doesn't get TOO picky! Don't want him to bust a kidney!
Sick person has been rescued...a she, but I didn't hear an age, Dana.
Just had to go out and clean off satellite again....had lost y'all.
Andy, BP sounds great! You just needed a vacation!
Heading for sofa for a panda nap before I start wrapping.
18" now, but I think it's tapering off---hope so!!
Paula,
I'm glad you've stopped shoveling for the day. Hope your driveway stays open!
Lynn,
Hope Christie doesn't have to do a double shift. Please let us know when she gets home from work so we don't worry.
Margy,
Really like your cardinal! Hope you don't get called in to work!
Diann,
Your little Max is a cutie!
Jo,
We're going to try making the appetizer when we get home. Best beets I ever ate!
Good that I have Will here to do the shoveling. I grabbed the laser pointer images off his Facebook page. One does look like an alien attack of some kind.
Would be nice to have some Christmas lights on my house in the snow pic. Would like to put a tree in the front window, but will be shopping for gifts before I shop for trees right now.
Did a little online shopping this evening.
Jack and I are back from the grocery store. Had to get there this afternoon as the Cowboys attempt to play football this evening. Had to get my 10% discount at the grocery store. This time Jack wore the jersey!
Jack is presently out in his shop cracking pecans. He will sit and shell them as he watches football.
Bacon Pasta and a bottle of wine tonight! We are having the pasta just so we have the excuse to have wine. lol
Paula, everytime I see your avatar I think there is a bug crawling on the screen. A little spidey! lol
Lynne, you need your head examined! You should not be out shoveling snow!
Neighbors on one side came over today and brought homemade cookies and bottle of beer bread mix. Interesting! They also brought over "Buddy", their new 8 week old puppy. He is soooo cute!
The snow is just about finished here. Lights flickered earlier.....yikes...
Awwww~~Lolly, what kind of puppy is Buddy?
Megan,
Hope and pray your power stays on!
Cool pics, Shirley. Nice house!
Lynne- love the kitty pic.
He is a mix....really cute and laid back. I remember Cocker but that is all. Going to be a good dog!
Much lighter snowfall here too.
Okay, been out in the weather.
City streets, not so bad. Parking lot at apartment, been plowed.
I have to got to eat! One must be very hungry to nearly burn a grilled cheese sandwich!
I will cruise the photo galleries while chowing down.
I guess 9-1-1 nightshift made it into work.
xo
Shirley like your pictures. Your house looks fantastic in the snow.
Andy, like your latest picture of the two of you. WAh! That is me crying! I want to go wine tasting with you! Jack and I LOVE wine tasting in Paso Robles.
When do you go back, Margy?
Susan's comments about working at DSW last night.
"The store was a MAD house tonight, people were going crazy for snow boots. People were coming it at 8pm and seeing we had no sizes left and were shocked, I told them that EVERYONE was buying snow boots today. I had one woman that thought maybe I had a stock pile hiding in the backroom... umm why would I be hiding snow boots? Our goal is to make money! We close at 9pm, I locked the doors at about 9:10pm and we must have had 20 people come and try to get in after I locked them."
Snow is slowing down and crazy Jim is out shoveling - again - and it's dark!
He didn't get to Mass tonight and I think he's thinking tomorrow morning. If that white stuff starts blowing around, he won't get out of town.
Hope everyone is safe and warm.
... later
Hi everyone,
So sorry for the bride and groom and their postponed wedding.
Seems everyone is coping well with the weather and the inconveniences.
Next door neighbor's college son came over and offered to shovel snow (for a price, of course) and I am completely stunned -- Darth agreed! At 72 and not the best health, it is time for him to let go of these life-threatening chores and his ego. Thank you Lord for the blessing.
Nest still undisturbed. Hope Belle and Lib are as warm as can be in a sheltered tree.
Looks like we got about 3 ft. of snow at our place, not counting drifts. So happy we have not had a power outage, yet. Means I got grades submitted to Registrar this afternoon. Lolly, again, great school humor!
Think I'll go try to warm up. Since coming home from the hospital, I don't seem to be able to warm up. Chill seems to be internal. Oh well, blankets and a heater work.
Wow, sure are some nice pictures here on your all's blogspots.
Lolly, how do I find the Puppy Buddy ?
Judie - do you have one of those little herbal heat sacky things you warm up in the microwave?
Love those little rascals !
Lolly - - I go back Wednesday night at midnight, but they could pull me in for a shift this week-end I guess. I have stayed over many a time over the 21 years of work there, so I am glad it is someone else's turn.
Andrea, nice picture of you and Ken ♥ ♥
Hi Judie,
Yes, it is a shame about the postponed wedding.
Good that you got your grades posted. That is always such a relief. I really need to start reading those research papers. I always say that good papers are easy to grade. Bad ones, however, can be tough. We will see what I have this time around.
I enjoyed Lolly's little stories, too.
Three feet of snow. That's more than we have, but I think we are getting close to 2 feet.
Good that Darth let the college kid do the shoveling.
Ha Ha, last night someone had a complaint about loud music!
Way out in the sticks.
Called back to check on the situation, complainant said the power flickered and went out for a few seconds, and the loud music came to a screeching halt. So he canceled his request for police.
People were really fired up last night, seemed like they wanted to get all their figthing in before the snow started.
I got a few little measly pictures on Magpie's Roost
Had a nice talk with Wanda and Hedgie while I was out "snowmobiling"
How awful to have to postpone a wedding. Reception, music, food, honeymoon, tux rentals?? Oh, my what a sad situation:(
Diann: Love your new avatar, and Max was a charm too!
Wanda, nice one on yours too...
I need to read back and see if Sharon made it to Bluefield. Hope she got to see and hug Andrew!
I see those additional birdie photos Wanda! Fantastic !
Wanda
I have been reminiscing about the wonderful Poop Shoot Facials you used to perform on us! Are they still on your blog anywhere?
That was such fun !
Will started a fire in the fireplace and we kept hearing sizzling sounds and sounds of something shifting. I think there was some snow in the chimney. Hope it is gone now. Wouldn't want it to drop suddenly into the fireplace.
meant to mention earlier, there was a one-side-antlered buck at Pix Pa a few hours ago. The other side just had one little nubby thing...
going to remove all the snow clothes out of the bathtub and replace them with ME.
See you all later on.
xo ☺
Poop shoot facials?????
It's a great story, Shirley...
when one of us would reach 100, or 200, or 300 posts like that, Wanda would do us a makeover....she can explain it much better!
turned us all into beautiful creatures. There had been a story somewhere on some news place, about poop being used as a facial...something like that.
bubbles are ready for drowning now,
TTFN
BIRD POOP THAT IS, NOT PEOPLE POOP !!!! LOL
MARGY, I am not sure what happened to the POOP SHOOT FACIALS...I think they may be gone with the wind. I didn't remove them, but don't think they are there now.
I think it was NIGHTENGALE POOP that was suppose to work wonders on the face.
Shirley, we heard about the Poop Facial from, maybe Dana. So instead of giving WAX everytime someone commented at 100-200-300, etc. I gave them POOP SHOOT FACIAL and posted a photo of their new apperance after the FACIAL. I know, CRAZY, but we had fun with it:) Paula was the first one to receive the facial, and it worked so well on her face that it turned her into a BABY...that was the first photo:)
Hi again. A nap and a nice warm bath does wonders!!
Oh, no, poop shoot facials again....what a hoot that was!
Shirley, now you know how truly deprived you've been of hilarious antics!!Yes, think it was Nightengale poop----method came out of China, if I remember correctly!!
Margy, your Blazer looked like it was thoroughly de-pooped!! Good pics!
Judie, SO glad that you were able to keep Frank from trying to shovel. Wondering how in the world I am ever going to get out of here------Bill has been plowing the shopping center continuously with our friend Frank since midnight last night. (Owner of center leaves truck here---he's in Westminster,MD---and then pays Bill to plow the lot. He also gets free use of the truck the rest of the year whenever needed for hauling, as it's much bigger than his Avalanche which is just like mine.)
Okay, I have not understood the WAX thing, either. So much I don't know about.
Hey Margy. Nope. No herbal thingies. Just a red liquid in a corked bottle. Not an option with meds. Blankets and heater are it!
Diann, adorable grandson. A real keeper.
Saw the one-sided buck at PixPa. Was eating but seemed a bit nervous. All else seems quiet. Even Diego is out and about somewhere.
Wanda, I need a makeover, please! I feel as if I'm at the 300 mark. Really in serious need.
Turning my light out but leaving the night light on for others. Andy, so happy you are having such a lovely time. Please continue to enjoy. If you have time, please set the alarm at the end of your day.
Sweet snow cone dreams.
Snowing at Pix Pa. Deer.
Peter, Paul and Mary on MPT, and selected Christmas favorites on WETA. Nice ♫♪
Judie - you don't ingest the sackie things, just put them where you want quick warmth, they spend a lot of time on my back...either way I hope you find exquisite warmth.
One-antlered deer at Pix Pa now.
Oh, the Poop Shoot Facial of Movin' Jim's was always one of my favorites! Well, they all my favorites, including Racy Iris and Anne-Marie in her glorious RED Dress. It was a bunch of fun! Wanda is so talented!
BWE is, well, haunted looking.
I'm watching it too, Shirley.
The ad before the show, reminds me of you, teachers spending over 500 dollars out of their own pockets for their school activities, sure it applies to all our teachers here ☺
the PIX PA bloggers are really talkative right now, some interesting tidbits
Oh, Jo.....where ARE you???? How is Robert feeling today? And have you or Kristen talked to Melissa to see how they are making out in this mess??
Hedgie, your Bill has been busy busy busy!
It's kinda nice to ponder all the independent snow-plowers making some extra money right....knock off some bills, keep the wolf from the door for awhile, and have a little for the babies and the sweethearts for Christmas, maybe?
It is haunted looking, Margy.
Reba Mcintire (sp) now on WETA - probably will bring some tears a'rolling...
Wanda, missed your mention of Sharon. She and Sissy made it to Bluefield safely last night, but it took them a long time!! We had mentioned it last night---sorry you missed it! They had also posted on FB.
The energy bandit has made a very large withdrawal here, need to find the warm bed and pillows...
seems a good time to take couple of handfuls and feetfuls of prayers with me.
Take Care, all, Hope all is well in all our Eagle Corners....
Good Night, Precious Pals.
God Bless Us, Every One
xox ☺ ♥
O Tannenbaum now on WETA
xo
Good night, Margy.
Margy, plowing is SO physically hard----having to constantly raise and lower and turn the blade----hydraulics are great but the controls are stiff, and it really causes him pain. The lot is really such a big job, and I hate to even ask him to come do my driveway. I prefer to assume that he will....he always has before, but we haven't had anything enough to need plowing for 3 yrs.!
Beautiful music on WETA, Margy.
Do you have a long driveway, Lynn. I expect you do.
Good night, Margy. Hope you sleep the whole night through!
Snow has STOPPED!!! Yippee!
Wedding is just postponed until tomorrow at 4 so everything should still be okay. They are having the reception in the fellowship hall of the church, tuxedos are still good, its all good! :)
Thank goodness, Sharon.
Double Yippee !
And I have seen Andrew about 10 minutes since I got to Bluefield yesterday. He promises to spend the tomorrow evening, night and Monday with us. I did get a hug. He tried to do the one armed hug but I made him give it up!
Yeah, I think it has stopped here, too.
Yep, Shirley, it's not only long, but also circular!
Wow, I totally forgot about the poop shoot facials!
I watched a Hallmark Christmas movie.
I love those shows.
Melissa and crew are doing fine...
Played in the snow - Kristen had talked to them earlier before she
called me.
Jenny is off work now until after Christmas - Charlie will be over
tomorrow with snow blower.. Next door neighbor did a good bit. I need someway to repay him - some homemade comfort food.
Hi Jo! Sounds like a good way to repay.
I Googled nightingale poop facials. All kinds of hits on that one.
Getting very sleepy. Going to go up to my warm, snuggy roost. See you tomorrow.
Good Night Shirley - I'm not far behind you.........
Hi, a new White thread!! Been working on pictures to email to family and friends who don't live around here. Our friends are visitting daughter in NC & were planning to all ready be home, but NO. they've been calling regularly for updates! I will put some pics on later, but they can't be different that everyone elses!
BTW, The Postman never rang once!!!! Need food or dessert~~BBL
It took awhile to close down the roost here, laundry in, dishes done ( ha ha, dishwasher loaded)
and now have a chance to say Good Night one more time ☺
Good to see Sharon, Loretta, Jo and I have been schmooozing with Hedgie Shirley and Wanda before this.
All sounds well, kids are enjoying the snow, big kids are enjoying the little kids...
and now, God Bless Us, Every One, on WETA, knew there was a reason to stay up!
Lynn, hope your precious Christie gets home on time !
Love to you all....Sharon, good news about Sunday Wedding..
Loretta, my post man made a delivery today, Bless his heart.
Prayers for safety all around our area.
xoxox
PIX Cam - feeder about ready to go off and spread the grains... Buck is right there and it will probably scare him off
It scared the buck off big time.. I wonder if he will return for the feed.
Looks like some more snow is falling up in PA woods.
Xcel Energy Eagle cam daily
Well, dear friends, I am calling it a day. Let's hope that we wake to bright sunlight that starts a really good melt!
Prayers for all. G'night.
Time for me to call it a good day.
Thankful for all to be safely in house and warm. We are so blessed.
Good Night All
Prayers for everyone's wants/needs
(((hugs))) ♥ ♥ ♥
Hey Norma!!!!!! Go Cowboys!!!!!!!
So exciting! They played football!!!
LOL I think I need a poop shoot facial!
So happy for the bride and groom that all is "a go" for tomorrow.
Nite all! Going to church in the morning and then more baking in the afternoon. I do love Christmas! I love baking...but it is so fattening! Christmas gives a blessing to all baking! Wahoo!
Love you all! Hope you are safe and snug! Sweet dreams and I will see you tomorrow.
Good night, all. Watched a movie or two. Snow has stopped here too!
See you in the morning light!
Hugs to all ♥
Computer went to sleep on me. Had to wake it up so that I could say good night and go to sleep myself!
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
So thankful that we all have nice warm beds to crawl into. Had a young man to stop by here yesterday looking for some way to make money...does not have a home or nice warm bed:(
Late Nite Good Night!
Put a couple sets of snow pics on blog---nothing scenic--just the 'hood!
Pleasant Snowflake Dreams ****
This will give you an idea of our snowfall on the East Coast side of things:
Snowfall Totals
Good late night, everyone!
Slept for a while, then woke up, and have been catching up on the blog. Really impressed by the pictures of all the snow. Margy, the snowfall totals just blow me away! Feel really sorry for the homeless people back there, and hope they have found someplace to shelter for the night. Hope our eagles have, too!
Judie, glad to hear that Frank/Darth decided not to shovel snow! Brrrrr! A job better left to college student--God bless him!
Hope you are able to get warmed up nicely. I have the same problem when the weather's cold, but it's because of one of my blood pressure meds. It slows down circulation to your extremities, and when my hands and feet are really cold, the rest of me feels frozen! I'm really thrilled for you that you got your grades posted and can relax now, for a while. Hope your foot and leg are feeling much better.
Lynne, hope your arm is doing well--hope no ill effects from shoveling snow!
Well, it's pretty late, so better go get some more sleep. Will talk to you in the morning. Prayers being said for everyone, and for the blizzard situation back there.
Sleep warm and snugly! Love you guys! :o]
Good Morning Eagle ♀'s and ♂'s.
One eagle at BWO.
Watching to see what happens as morning is breaking at OUR nest.
Mits
On the snowfall list, I see 24" for your town...think that is the highest except some of the more Southern and SW Virginia Counties ☺
Norma !
When you check in:
My mailman made it through yesterday: ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺ ☺
Thank You !
EAgle at BWO has Chow!
GOOD MORNING MARGY,
I'm thinking Lib and Belle are sitting on a branch above the nest wondering where all that POOP SHOOT came from:):)
When you go from BWO to BWE and back, you sometimes have to hit the refresh button to get the current view
Our Journal carrier made it through and she is going to get a special THANK YOU Christmas gift!
Wanda! ROFLMBO ! ♥
Good Morning, Morning Glory ☺
Do you EVER sleep in ?
Two at BWO now
NEVER SLEEP IN...don't want to miss a minute of a new day:)
Wanda, it just occurred to me,
Tigger, Tiger...Great ☺
It looks like something has been in our nest, or maybe snow has fallen from a branch above.
YOU GOT IT!:)
Well, Wanda, that's a good philosophy, and you sure see a lot of OUR Eagles that way ☺
I was thinking same thing about the nest. I put a morning empty nest pic on the album
Good morning everyone. That would be lots of poop shoot Wanda:-) LOL
I reckon most of you will be staying inside unless you have 4 legged friends or you are the motor behind the shovel or the hand behind the snow blower. Stay warm and safe. I am getting ready for coffee and donuts and church for Christmas Sunday the music will be awesome today and well the pastor will do his job very well too, he always does. "This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it". God bless you all with a sense of His peace today. So many need to feel that.
Good Morning Glo
Love that verse...thank you, nice way to start things out
Last Sunday of Advent...
Bet you two will be well-bundled up today....☺
Morning Glo:)
I'm going to join the Capt. in a cup of coffee, then dress in outdoor clothes and boots and grab some photos of the woods. I love to walk the woods and see what animals have visited us after a snow...tracks are so telling. Gene says there will be no tracks in this deep stuff! We'll see:)
Well, Tiger Tracks for sure!
looks like lots of feetsie tracks in the snow at BWE
Our preach says that every Sunday, upon dismissing the congregation. Always glad to hear those words, they are uplifting and means CHURCH IS OVER!
GOOD ONE, MARGY;) (tiger tracks)
PREACH....sorry, that should be PREACHER.
When grandson spends the night here, when he wakes up, he always says "It's the Morning, It's the Day."
Eagle in the nest at BWE -
remember to hit that refresh button
forget that for now, gone
Good morning! George came and told me that I had to get up and feed him.
No snow plow on our street yet. Will has done a beautiful job on the driveway.
Blue jays are in my backyard.
Talked with Rus last night. He's bringing his girlfriend again. This is a first--girlfriend for two holidays. Maybe a good sign. We will have a full house. I will have to tell Susan that she will be my roommate. I do not think she will mind at all.
Hi Shirley !
Bet Susan won't mind a bit !
Beautiful deer in snow at PIX PA
Morning, Margy!
I expect Susan will be spending some time with her boyfriend. His parents live in the Fredericksburg area, though.
With the sun shining on the eagle nest, it looks to me like there might have been a landing on the snow mound.
Good morning little snow bunnies! How are you?
Very snowy in the PA woods.
Good morning. Two beautiful eagles at BWO and the snow behind them Have a great day
Morning, Ceil. Pretty scene at BWO.
Two eagle lovelies in BWO nest. E nest looks like someone HAS been there, but not right now. Think the osprey need to tell the eagles to "go to your own nest!"
No evidence that Belle and Lib have been home since the snow fell.
Good morning all. 24 degrees and sunny here.
Hi Ceil, Hi Sharon, and Hello Again Shirley...
Wanda is getting ready to go tromping in the woods, and make some Tiger Tracks.
and we are getting ready to SPLIT soon
xo ☺ How's everything in Bluefield, Sharon ?
and Hellooooooooo, Hedgie ♥
Cute little deer and birds at Pix Pa.
Wondering how Norma is doing in Romney....they got a lot of snow there too
Split!
