Good morning, all! When I went to bed last night, the local forecast said today for me would have a high temp of 18* (possibly) and intermittent snow showers with maybe an inch of accumulation throughout the day. SURPRISE!! That changed. It started snowing around 4AM and has already accumulated 1/2 inch and we are now looking for anywhere between 2-5 inches. Sure am glad it's my last half a work day this year.

We have snow and possible freezing rain coming overnight.
Nothing much to report right now. I am very tired, but did sleep last night. My hubby says we should just go to sleep when we get home.
Oh my hubby is working trying to get a work contract with the person who is in charge of ticket sales and promotions for the Red Wings! He found us and is looking for us to do some mailing work for them. My hubby is trying very hard to make this work. He said that he doesn't care if WE are the ones taking the work home to make sure it gets done on time and correctly. LOL! He is so hoping to have connections for possible tickets and whatever.

Our forecast is a mixture of Woo's and Mema's. We have a winter weather advisory all day for rain and freezing rain and snow, with 1/10th inch accumulation of ice. It may not seem like much, but that'll make everything slippery.
Considering we probably won't see the sun at all today, or until spring, I wore my glasses today. I've been wearing my two week disposable contacts for over a month because I haven't gone into the doctor to get a new prescription to get new ones so I'd have money for Christmas instead. So I figured I'd give my eyes a break today.
Good Morning everyone, It's -16 right now. My car is getting fixed so they gave me a loaner car that is a pile of you know what. The transmission is slipping, the ac comes on every time I turn the heater on. It reeks of cig smoke. Did I mention the radio is possesed and comes on by itself without the key in the ignition? Oh the brake light came on too! I opted to drive my truck that has been sitting outside without being started for a month. She started right up! The only reason I got the loaner car was for car seat purposes. But AC is off today.
Hope everyone is doing well, I'll talk to you later.

We're considerably warmer this morning . . . its 2 now. I can sure tell a difference. It didn't feel nearly as biting cold on my face and the van didn't moan and groan as much as it did yesterday when I started it.
Looks like its going to be UPS day. At least three gifts we ordered look like they are coming in today on UPS. There might be another one on Fed-Ex, I haven't checked on it yet.
I still have to figure out what to get my dad for Christmas. What do you get a guy who is 67 years old and has everything he needs/wants? I hate to do it, but it might come down to a Pizza Hut gift card for lunches when they go there after the county supervisor meetings.
I ordered myself a funky pillow last night. I know I have sleep apnea. I get up every morning exhausted. A couple nights ago, Mrs Web was having trouble sleeping anyway and she said I would stop breathing, choke/cough, then flip or turn over every few minutes. I did some searching and found a pillow that is supposed to be better at positioning your head for snoring and apnea. It had over 400 ratings and they were almost all positive. Hopefully it will help.
I just got an IM from one of the guys I work with. He told me to work from home this morning. Said it took him 45 minutes to get to work today, Normally takes him like 10 minutes.

The weather will be going to crap just like everyone else. We had temps 60+ yesterday. The cold air and rain is moving in. They say that this afternoon it will be 30 degrees and that ugly rain/snow mix.
Been a busy morning so far. I have an auditor in the officde today, so I had to entertain him for a while. Now I can get my work done. Should be an okay day.
Work on.

Woo: No choice words. I'm delightful in the morning, a real morning person.
Mema: They want him to delay surgery because of his age. They'd prefer he not need another one when he's 70. I suggested amputation. No second surgery there
Carp N Crunch...Web, just let me say...very punny.
Riggs...you are getting alot of mileage out of that farmer line...Hey just out of curiousity, what kind of crops do you need all those hydroponic lamps for again?
Good afternoon all. I'm going out to dinner with my dad tonight then we're going Christmas shopping. He has to shop for all the grandkids and doesn't have the foggiest idea what to get any of them. I'm thinking Visa gift cards are the best idea. I really don't want to hit the stores again but he's determined to get gifts for all of them.
We're supposed to get 2-4 inches of snow tonight but someone at work told me they heard it could be as much as 6.
I had to turn in my time sheet today in order to get my check during Christmas break. We get paid once every two weeks and the pay period ends this Thursday. We work Friday; will turn that time sheet in on Friday, and when I get back to work on January 5th I'll have a whole whopping one day pay coming. By the time they take taxes and my pension fund money out I think it's going to cost them more to print the check than what I'll have left.
I found out this morning that my aunt had to have an emergency gal bladder surgery. I just went to check on her and she's doing well. They told her she could probably go home later today if she wanted but she wanted to stay in the hospital yet tonight where there's more help.
the guy on the local radio station said to enjoy our rides into work this morning, because the rides home are going to be hell.
Snow to begin this afternoon...
Snow in Wisconsin... unheard of! Randy at work is so hooked on the news about storms. Ya know what? It's winter. Don't be so damn surprised! I messed around on the way home. I've got traction control on the Saturn. Gotta try it, right? My thermostat must be set for a way low temp. It opens way too early. Can't defrost the windows until I get home.
