HO! HO! HO! (or in NYC YO YO YO!)

So Bob/Appnut, Westexman/Bryan, MaytagMom/Carol, Retromom/Venus, Westytoploader/Austin..and other fabulous Texas residents:

Freezing your jingle-bobs off in the snow are ya?

1)How'z it driving in snow /ice when you are not so used to it?

2) Heat- Gas, electric resistance, electric heat-pump, other?

3) (Gawd forbid) any blackouts due to heavy demand?

Enquiring minds want to know!
STAY WARM.

TE HE HE HE I saw Stephanie Abrams of The Weather Channel in TX, this morning and thought of all of you and a certain someone who has referenced her in the past.
 
I have also been thinking about all of you and wondering how you are doing. They are calling for 4-6 inches of snow here today in central Illinois so we may be joining you!! Keep warm. Terry
 
Toggles,

Don't laugh!
My Jingle-Balls will be frozen this Friday since it calls for snow in our area.
Gotta push the snow to the right and blow salt from the rear so stand clear 200 feet!
Larry's going to melt some snow in the afternoon!

I feel like singing:

Oh the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm

The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!

Is this for real?!?
Big Daddy Strap going to whip that snow back into place!
Where's my leather Chaps?

LOL
 
It's "jingle-bobs" by the way.

LOL ROLF LMAO

What movie was that from when the gorgeoud woman get into the outdorr shower in the west with "Red-Rick" later "Dead-Rick" and comments on his nice jingle-bobs? Is that a John Waters' film?
 
Well, this Bob's Jingles are nice and warm. It's a balmy 68 inside and heat pump has kept up very well, even overnight. Had a low of 18 this morning that I'm aware of. Was 6 in Lubbock. I stay home when it's icy. A friend of mine's partner too 3 hours to drive 30 miles on I-35. There were sporadic power outages in town and throughout the area this morning. It's now clear, has gotten to a balmy 27.
 
Thanks Steve, I plan to, it started snowing here about an hour ago and is really coming down, if this keeps up we could easily get those 6 inches. Terry
 
If I offended any one, I'm sorry.
I will clean up my act!
Cleanteam suppose to keep it clean and not to leave a dirty trail like our Johnson mechanical brooms (that is the real name of the brooms).

Please forgive!

Chilly-ness ...

... but no icy-ness or snow-age. Last night's low was on the order of 30°F. I checked the temp several times, got 30°F, 32°F, 33°F at various times. Inside was 70°F for the most part. The Carrier was cycling, fairly long run-times, but not continuous, auxiliary is locked-out (except for defrost) until the ambient is 20°F (I think, need to check that again). My Galileo thermometer claimed 72°F for a while in the kitchen area when the oven was on baking the MAPLE CHEESECAKE, but the master bath with the three large glass-block windows had 64.x°F. Eeek! Lotsa wind, more than Hurricane Rita mustered up.

Predicted high today of 39°F, then 30°F-ish again tonight and Friday night.
 
Glenn brrr, sounds almost as bad as here. There are two linebacker-built type guys in Victoria I drool over all the time. See if you can get one to come over to keep me warm lol.
 
This morning has been exceptionally cold, colder than yesterday morning as well! Car thermometer read 26 degrees in the garage (dropped to 23-24 on the road), and it still felt cold in the house even though I had the heater cranked up to 73. I left my electric heater (yes, it has an overheat sensor and it's out in the middle of the floor so I'm not too worried) running in the laundry room section last night so it will be nice and warm when I finish up KK (YAY) and move several more vacuums, hoses, nozzles, etc. down here tonight to get ready for Saturday...WOOHOO!!! I'm glad it's going to get a little warmer tomorrow/Saturday...

I think the "unbearable cold" is for the most part due to the wind-chill factor...feels like 16-18 degrees out there! :)
