Looking at your AccuWeather thingy here is says the current temp in Bay is 25. We have been hearing on the TV news about the problems in Arkansas and Kentucky caused by weather. My brother keeps saying is is due to global warming. I ask how can it be global "warming" when it seems cold all over. He says that doesn't mean it will be warm all of the time but that our normal weather patterns have gotten mixed up. That sure is true, whatever the cause!Dickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12381970360203140143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736979.post-36500765840537550472009-02-04T15:43:00.000-06:002009-02-04T15:43:00.000-06:00I must say the snow pics are beautiful, but then a...I must say the snow pics are beautiful, but then again, I'm a Norwegian :-)<BR/><BR/>However, I do understand its a struggle when the consequence is to be out of electricity.<BR/><BR/>For Sunday dinner: Whole own baked Norwegian salmon - you would have loved it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736979.post-82710113913302286722009-02-04T14:55:00.000-06:002009-02-04T14:55:00.000-06:00I saw that you had commented on someone's post, so...I saw that you had commented on someone's post, so I came over to see your icy pictures.. hope you get full electricity soon!!ancient onehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12996555276368371467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736979.post-22086587230704257912009-02-03T20:42:00.000-06:002009-02-03T20:42:00.000-06:00Oh, my, that looks like the aftermath of a hurrica...Oh, my, that looks like the aftermath of a hurricane here in Florida.

Ice is so wierd...and can be so destructive. That is so tragic that folks perished in this storm, hon. My thoughts and prayers are with them and their families and all in the path of this mess, and the state of Arkansas. I heard about the mess Arkansas was in our local news and saw some of the devestation. No wonder you were wiped out sweetie...what an ordeal a storm like that is! Just getting out and getting food/necessities restocked is a challenge, isn't it? Stuff like this is really stressful, so try to take it easy hon. Cleaning up the huge tree limbs and tossin' food that went bad ect. is a pain. Been thar, done that!<BR/><BR/>I pray the worst of this winter is over for everyone. You all have sure had more than your share of nasty weather. You've been in my prayers Diane. God bless and keep ya safe.

I just can't get over the devastation over there...my prayers are with all of you that were affected!! My heart aches for those who died, bless their souls. Also praying that you don't have to go through another such storm any time soon!!!

We were hit by the same storm last week, but got more snow than ice. We had enough ice for our power to be off for 36 hours on Wed./Thurs. I am not a pioneer! We are so spoiled and so dependent on electricity that it is ridiculous! I'm really ashamed to admit that. My oldest son lives in Louisville, KY and they had more ice than we did, too. <BR/><BR/>We were able to go ahead with plans we had made to celebrate my parent's 50th anniversary on Sat. evening. My folks didn't want us to make a big deal...just to have everyone go out to eat together. So, that's what we did. My son and his wife (from Louisville) came up yesterday afternoon. They live the farthest away, so I'm so glad they made a safe trip.<BR/><BR/>I have a new grandson who is 2 months old today! I was able to get some cuddle-time with him last night, as well.<BR/><BR/>It is a 3 hour drive for my son to go back home and he couldn't stay late enough to watch the Super Bowl game with his dad and brother. But, I made Super Bowl-like food for dinner today. We had bar-b-q ribs, baked potatoes with cheese, bacon bits, and sour cream, and several of their favorite dips and chips. <BR/><BR/>I teach school (so does my son) and we were out of school last week because of the weather conditions. We are supposed to go on a delay in the morning. I have prayed for my students. I hope they have been warm and fed. Some of them really have a hard time. I know how cool it got in here with our tiny heat source and no power. I'll be glad to see them tomorrow!<BR/><BR/>Take care. I hope your power stays on!<BR/><BR/>Love and prayers,<BR/>Terri<BR/>Sinking Spring, OHJust Terrifichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00389263409093849746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21736979.post-18114774806577711122009-02-01T20:15:00.001-06:002009-02-01T20:15:00.001-06:00Glad to hear that you all are alright.

She's a trooper! <BR/><BR/>Not much Sunday cooking going on here today. When it's just yourself, you don't feel much like cooking for just one. I am making homemade bread and rolls, though!

It's so quiet, it's eerie. Even if it's sporadic, I'm glad yours is back on and I'm sorry you all went through this.<BR/><BR/>I hope you were able to save some of your food. I remember all our food sitting on the kitchen floor, in as many big coolers as I could round up, for days and days, last time this happened in eastern Colorado. No fun.<BR/><BR/>I see by the weather map in your sidebar, it's 48 degrees and sunny there. That's a good start!<BR/><BR/>I sure hope this is a better week for you than the last one was.
