Good morning, my pretties!

I can't believe it's Ash Wednesday already.

I also can't believe Rafa lost!crycry

We still have power, thank God! We're under a boil water notice until tomorrow, I think.

We got another inch of snow in the night...but it's up to 20 degrees! Yeehaw!wink

Conor's car won't start. Dead battery, maybe?

I guess Wayne will see if he can jump it. (Not a good time to have car trouble. With a year old car, no less.)cry

I hope everyone is safe and warm.

Be careful, fellow Texans...and all the Geeks!

What are you up to today?

I hope everyone has a good one!smile

Good morning, FWM. We are a bit warmer today, it’s 9 degrees which is much better than the -4 earlier this morning. We have not lost power but are still in the warned zone. West and east of us did loose power for a few hours yesterday. To close for comfort in my opinion.
Looking forward to Ash Wednesday services this evening. Hard to believe it is Lent already.
Hope Wayne gets the car going and you all stay safe and warm.

Thanks Czechie!

Wayne got it started. He told Conor to let it run for a while. I hope that does the trick!

Stay warm and safe. Praying you don't lose power.wink

It's the pits.cry

Rush Limbaugh died. Sad.

It's cold here and we are expecting a doozy of a storm early tomorrow morning.

FNW, hope the storm doesn’t get too bad in your area. Most of the country has already endured enough this winter.
Sorry too hear that Rush passed. We enjoyed listening to him for many years.

We've been very fortunate - no
power outage, but we did have
one pipe burst. Fortunately, it
was above a valve that DH had
installed last year, so we just
shut it off, and will wait until
the weekend to repair it.

27 is our expected temp this
evening, then more snow
tomorrow. And we're out
of wood for the fireplace.

Fortunately our stove runs on
propane, and we have s full
tank. So if we should lose
power during the night, we
can heat our home to some
degree, until the electric is
up and running again.

Thanks Czech! So far, so good! Fingers crossed!

I'm glad you haven't lost power, Momala. It's no fun. I hope yours stays on.smile

Three of our neighbors have had pipes burst.

Laurie and Mike, got it bad. Pipes in their upstairs bathroom burst. Their hardwood floors and walls are buckling. What a mess! I feel so bad for them.cry

Oh well. I hope we get some warmer weather soon.

Wayne managed to get gas in his car.

He's at Costco now. No milk or dairy at Kroger. Hoping to get some milk and butter and probably more bird seed.

Let's hope he finds some!wink

Happy Wednesday! I hope you are all good. Still keeping y’all in Texas in my thoughts. Nothing going on here. DD is on quarantine until Sunday. I guess I’m proof that the vaccine is effective.

I would be curious to know if you are positive now but asymptomatic. Because from what I have heard, the vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting it, only reduces your body's reaction to it. Which means you should still be able to spread it, I would think. They aren't sure about that yet either.

Evening all. I feel so badly for you guys in the south of the country and got hammered by that storm. I know you guys are not prepared for this kind of weather. Hope y'all stay warm and safe.

The storm is moving in my direction. We're expecting 6" to 10" starting around midnight and going through to Friday morning. I'm so glad I don't have to work tomorrow. I can sit in my nice warm apartment watching the snow fall from my comfy chair out the balcony door. lol

Yes, the vaccine does not stop the spread or one from getting covid. It just lessens the disease's severity if you get it. Many have gotten covid after receiving the second shot.

Anyone hear from IKWTDS latel?

 We're hanging in. Power has stayed on through the night. We still have to boil our water.

I'm glad you don't have to go to work Thursday. Stay warm and safe.

I haven't heard anything from IKWTDS. I hope she's okay.
