So I plan to stay inside and stay safe. I had to bring all the dogs in, so it's a circus here. But at least they're warm and safe.

Meanwhile, my family room is trashed. LOL

tink - if i was one of your dogs, my whole head would be in that bag of M & M's you got there on that couch.. YUMMY !!!! can't you tell i had to skip lunch today.

Oh my, you guys have weather! We don't - although it is very windy here and rained this morning.

Janet - can you prepare some hot water bottles or something in case the power goes. Thse puppies can't be cold!

Good luck to everyone and be safe if you need to go out! I'm doing what Tink is - staying inside. I hate the wind. I don't have to be anywhere anyway, so I'm just relaxing today.

Oh Judy....how do you think I'm suppose to heat water for a hot water bottle...LOL. We're in the country and have a well. The well pump runs on electricity. Nice thought though. I really had it figured out in my head. If the lights went out I would get the fire started in the fireplace and then put the puppies next to my skin to stay warm until the fire got going good. I hope that would work. Hopefully it wouldn't take the hubby long to get the generator going either...that would be even better.

I guess I figured you could heat them up early today and that somehow they would magically stay warm???

Didn't know whether to post on this thread or not. We're having a cold spell, too, but I do feel sorry for you ladies!! It's 57 deg right now, and expected to get to a low of 34 tomorrow night. We are predicted to have thunderstorms tonight and tomorrow with a high tomorrow of 65.

I absolutely cannot imagine living in Wisconsin or Indiana. Brrrrrrrr, just too cold for me. I'm a warm weather girl. Give me 80's and 90's and I'm happy!!! When it gets to 100, then I'm a little too hot.

well we did loose our electricity last night. It was only off for a couple of hour's. Didn't take long for the house to cool down. Hubby got called out at midnite, there was a tree down in a little town not far from us. I am so not looking foward to the snow unless I can stay home from work. I wish spring would hurry and get here.

[Tink]

We managed a high of 2 today. LOL How silly that sounds... but we were glad to see it!
It's supposed to be warming up again tomorrow so that's something to look forward to. I truly hope this is the worst of it for the year.
I swear we HAVE to get something better built for the dogs this summer so I don't have to bring them all inside next year. 6 dogs this size in at once is a wee bit overwhelming even for me.

We're suppose to get 6-10 inches of snow today!!! We got a phone call earlier this morning that school was canceled!! Yeah!!!! A snow day!!!!! So far we only have about an inch or so but it's suppose to get heavier and be windy so we might be stuck at home for awhile!!

Rub it in why don't ya? I'd like to live in a warm climate, but since my daughter lives here, I'm staying up north. I may eventually buy something small down south for the winters. Prices are really good right now. I think they're giving condos away in Florida, which I don't like, but it isn't the worst place in the winter.

I would use magic to help take off this weight, clean my house, clean my garage, make my husband disappear, make wars end, make winters end, make bad weather go away, always have spring and beautiful flowers...have all dogs have a loving home and they were all trained and potty trained.....do I dare go on?

[Janet]

Yay Diana, you got your wish! The snow is to move in here later today. A possible 4-8 inches and the weather guy said it will be a mess tomorrow morning. We are north of Indianapolis and they said it would be worse north of there. So, we'll see. I hope they cancel school for us tomorrow. I'm worried today though, because they said it would start around 11:00 this morning and my son just 'had' to drive to school. Then he is suppose to work tonight. Makes me so nervous this bad weather and bad roads.

I really want to move so bad. This is why I need the magic Judy...so I can make all this bad weather go bye...bye.

I was just listening to the local weather man, he said last nights' drop in temperature was the fastest drop in Chicago's weather history. I'm glad I got groceries yesterday during the "heat wave" cuz I'm not going out again until March
Stay Warm Ladies!!!

We have a wind advisory tonight. With all of these high buildings, it does take a lot of energy out of the wind.

A worker was blown off a building today in Brooklyn and didn't make it! Very sad.
