Good morning!!!!

Looks like eastern NC Va Beach Delmarva in for 5 to 12 inches or more of snow wow. Be safe those effected

Seems like its been days since we've heard from RNG. Hope he's all good and having too much fun.

I was just thinking the same thing earlier today ...

4F and clear @ 23:40, with a windchill of -11F.

The Woman was on a cleaning tear today ... so other than getting her a bucket of water and moving the stove out so she could clean behind it, I tried to keep my head down and stay out of her way.

Got bills scheduled for payment and got the trash taken up to the road earlier when the sun was out. Skipped the recycles for another two weeks.

Also designed another two racks for the fish room for 18" deep tanks - 30 and 40 gallon breeders, back to back:

Only thing I haven't found a good location for is the utility tub ... was hoping to avoid punching a hole in the wall and installing another door, but I'm not seeing a solution at this point. Might be just as well ... the closet I would put it in (lower left of the image) if I did so actually has a tile floor rather than carpet.

Tomorrow it will get up to 19F so I plan on moving some lumber up out of the basement to the garage so it can be cut.

Might have to sneak outside here in a bit and get a look at that moon.

As Ed would say: Thoughts and prayers for all that need them.

6 degrees right now...cold, but at least not as cold. Low 20s as the high today.
Looks like another 4-6 inches of snow coming in on Thursday...along with high winds. Almost blizzard conditions, if one believes the forecast.

I'll be heading to Connecticut tomorrow and Friday...forecast down there doesn't look much better..

May I ask if you致e gotten your invitation to the big upcoming wedding yet?

Not yet. For any who are concerned how poor Meghan will survive without income from American TV shows, fear not, UK tax payers have a long history of providing for royalty imported from distant lands

Good morning all. My daughter and children are back home today, so I have no excuses left for not getting on with jobs again. Having them stay over Christmas and then again for another 5 days while their heating system was down has been a real treat and got me taking the longest holiday I have had in many years.

Ed, few things as satisfying as making something with hand tools. I bet the ease of sharpening chisels and plane blades with your new Tormek is making a difference.

Ron, it may be colder without your annual migration, but at least you seem to have more time now for lathe work. Any chance of a few pictures ? I miss the old days before CNC, when shiny round things happened right in front of your eyes instead of semi hidden behind a big coolant splashed guard.

Buckeye, that's hard luck. Hope you don't have to wait too long to get fixed.

Randy, never heard of anyone eating Robin, you must have been hungry - before and after

Sounds good progress Mrs Riptides, not be long before you are home again, admiring your new piano.

Thermometer says 6 degrees, lowest temp I've ever seen here. And why am I getting more snow than Toppop! Geez nothing like a winter NorEaster to make a mess of things. Now up to 3-5 inches with localized 8 inches. And not one snow plow in existence. None.
Needless to say I'm going nowhere and staying home and baking brownies.
Be safe everyone.

10° here, going into 20s today, then colder next 2 days.

Got to get some pellets from barn to the porch storage box, while boys still here. I can put 2 weeks worth in box, large plastic deck box. Then pile a few more bags on top.

Thanks for the prayers, yesterday evening was rough emotionally for me.

Good news for riptides!!!!

We suddenly gave a 50% chance of snow tonight into thur morning. Wonnerful wonnerful. Friend was going to bring me 5 guys for lunch thur.

Snowing in Savannah and headed our way. They say at one point it was snowing from Mexico to Virginia.
Weather folks say up to a foot of snow in New England with 40-60mph winds. So this could be a major event due to the wind.
All I care about is that my backup gen starts when the power lines go down. Otherwise hopefully the snow will melt in a day or two at the most.
