Syphilophobia Sunday

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Happy Sunday. Gotta get moving.

I know what to do_sometimes · Frozen Sucks!

Lots more snow. Got up early to shovel a path for the dog. Will be clearing it all later this morning. I have 4' of snow on my deck, this is after shoveling 3' off over the past weeks. It's quite the site.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

Ok IKWTDS! It was 50 degrees when I got up at 7. It is now 39 degrees.

Yep cold front moving in. It is going to be -40 tonight with the wind. Yep, you are reading that correct. SB, you will probably drop further.

Looks like about 9 or 10 inches so far, we'll probably get a foot by end of day. Still sore from shoveling neighbors and family the past two days.

So I'll wait and rest today, and start tackling it tonight after it stops.

Maybe I'll do the taxes today.

Enjoy the day everyone!

My goodness! That is a lot of snow! I feel for you guys. cry

I really hope you get a break from the cold and snow, soon.

I've been up for a while. Wayne is still at the plant. I'm not sure what we'll be doing today.

Other than watching The Walking Dead, tonight. wink

Have a great Sunday, everyone. smile

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

We MIGHT get some freezing winter mixture tomorrow, so I need to go to the store and buy bread, milk, eggs, and water. It's tradition. My friend is a grocery store manager, they went in early today to prepare for the shelf wipeout.

We might get some of that, Tuesday morning. It's not supposed to be much. And happily, it won't last long.

Fingers crossed. smile

Yep, LL. That is how we in the south do our census. Call for snow and count the people at the grocery store. LOL...

It's cold. (insert pouty face)

We are supposed to get some real snow. And ice of course.

I went to get regular groceries yesterday. It wasn't awful but they were getting ready for today.

IKWTDS, how is all that sow and melt going to effect the structural integrity of the deck? I always wonder about that stuff.

Hope everyone has a great day.

The weather here is so mild. That's why pnw'ers are such babies when they go to any other region :p

Forecast says 75 degrees today. I'll need sunscreen when I do yard stuff this afternoon. That's central CA in February... it will probably cool down again in March.

Stay warm and have a good day, Geeks!

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Good morning! It's all of 14 degrees here right now and I think that will be our high for the day. It's damp and chilly for sure. I'm tired of being cold all the time. Even the dog stays out for as short a time as possible. He is a bit spoiled. ;)
Hoping for an easy and relaxing day here. No plans except for church this evening. A good Sunday IMHO.
I'm keeping our northeastern geeks in my thoughts. Hoping the snowmegedion ends soon for you all.

It's called home owner's insurance. I have shoveled 4' off already in the past 3 weeks and after today this is what it looks like.

I think I had a tick on my forehead this morning. For some reason the past few months have been really bad when it comes to ticks. We keep pulling them off the cats. I was washing my hair and felt something on my temple along my hairline and I scratched at it and it came off with some difficulty. It was tiny but I'm pretty sure it was a tick. The spot it came off of is now sore and raised a little.

IKWtTDS, how far off the ground is your deck? That is a lot of snow.

Ahhh, if it bit you, watch the area closely. Do you have lime disease in your area? Gosh, I hate tick bits.

Southern_Belle · Nothing's Impossible

How can you shovel that? There is nowhere to put the snow!

Eww.. And imagine this Summer if we don't get a really good freeze that lasts longer than a day or two. The fleas, ticks and mosquitos are going to be awful.

Guess who forgot to set her alarm and just woke up? Whoops

Were you supposed to be somewhere?

Just to invited to lunch at Outback.

It's 21 degrees.

I want to go but at the same time I don't.

No, I have no where to be. But I hate sleeping too late. I slept for over 12 hours. I only woke up because my cell phone chimed that it was my turn in a game I play. With IH, I could sleep all day with no problem and I hate that.

I went out to spread some salt on the 1/4 inch of snow we had, and saw something disturbing behind the Prius.

It looks like either

(1) someone spread some dark sand on the driveway apron, up to and under part of the Prius; or

(2) something broke, and the car was spraying some kind of oil between the tire tracks as I drove in.

Fortunately, it's a fleet car.

So tomorrow, if the wind dies down a bit, I will go out and get everything I own out of the car,

then call fleet services and tell them what I saw.

They will probably send a tow truck to take it away, then arrange for Enterprise to pick me up and give me a car to drive until the Prius is fixed.

I'll have to work on NOT putting samples and literature and STUFF into the company car. Best if it's only got things I'd want for emergencies, plus the camera and GPS.

Stuff I can just shove into a couple of Walmart blue bags and take away.

My land is on a hill, so one side (under the table) is about 12' up, the other side maybe 4'. Yeah it is nasty. I just put my snow shoes on to get to my oil nozzle and clear off the vents. It took me 15 minutes to go 15 feet. The snow is up to my waist and even with the snow shoes I sink down about 2.5 feet. This is a disaster.

Funny story from last week:

One of our accountants loves Werther's original hard candies. Whenever we screw something up, we come to his cube with an offering when we ask him to fix it. Well, I went candy shopping last week to refill the bucket. I grabbed a bag of Werther's. Instead of mixing them into the bucket, I left the bag on his desk with a note that said have a great day! He came into our office later and said, "ok, what did you two do? It must be bad, I found a whole bag of candy on my desk!"

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

Look at what braved the cold to say hello and remind us that Spring really is coming.

It's the only one in the yard.

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

I really do feel for you in all that snow.

Our grass goes dormant, and turns brown, during the winter months.

The only green things, in my yard, are WEEDS! furious

I should get out there and pull them.

Or, not. wink

lilyofcourse · My spirit animal is a pink flamingo.

This shows how warm it has been lately. And it is our pattern. This is why we have such a long allergy season. It gets warm enough for things to bloom and then we get a cold snap and things go dormant and then it warms up again and blooms again. It does it over and over.
