Well, I'm taking a vacation day today. It's been raining and drizzling since midnight and temp is 31 degrees. I can't get to work without going over a bridge.
MMMM Venus, sounds wonderful.

Snickerdoodles might aptly be described as sugar cookies with a dusting of cinnamon

Weather report from Downtown H-Town
Feels like 33 with the wind. (I won't be smoking many ciggies today, I will tell you THAT) LOL
When I checked what it was at home, about 25 miles south of me, it was 68...
I love this cooler air!

Let it snow
I think we are in for it here in central Illinois. Cold here this morning, about 28. Ice this afternoon and then late this evening and tomorrow, lots of snow. 6-12 inches here. I only live a block and a half from school so I don't have far to go. I love that call at 6am saying that there is no school. Maybe tomorrow? Just have to wait and see. Have fun, Gary

Supposed to hit 65 in NJ today with thunderstorms ahead of a cold front Friday. Thunderstorms are for the most part very rare this time of year in this part of the country.

Snickerdoodles are a DELICIOUS cookie. In fact my favorite homemade cookie. I do not have a recipe here at work for them.

Our pond across the street has frozen over night, in a few weeks I'll be throwing Gladys rubber ball on the pond and she will glide across it trying to catch it, it's really cute when she does a scobby-do run (feet moving but not going anywhere) on the ice, but its not safe yet.
I bet the marjority of you don't get newspaper reports like this...

Refreshing in Central Minnesota ... Where's the Snow?
Hi all ...
We have almost the same weather as Robert in Minneapolis; we run a little colder sometimes.
The ride in to work this morning was +5 above zero. We had windchills of -5 to -10. Brrr! This is more like January/February weather.
I'm waiting for the ice to keep forming on a lake in the middle of St. Cloud ... Lake George ... I LOVE to go ice skating and they have a great warming house. It's really relaxing after work to go for a skate; the lake is surrounded by lights and its a lot of fun!
I plugged my car in last night (first time this year ... even though I park in my garage) and had a really quick warm-up this morning. My "bun warmers" (seat heaters) are WONDERFUL and a true luxury!!
COME ON ... BRING US THE SNOW!!!

Snickerdoodles
One of the best cookies ever, good for the Holiday or not.
Mix throughly:
1 cup soft butter
1 1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
Sift & stir in:
2 3/4 cups flour
2 TSP cream of tartar
1 TSP Baking soda
1/2 TSP salt
Roll into balls the size of small walnuts (no comments from you Toggle!!)
Then roll in mixture of:
2 TSP Cinnamon
2 TBSP sugar (baker's sugar is best since it is fine)
Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes.
These are great size for gifting to others as you can make a ton quickly and they bake fast.

Yeah, and they will add a ton to you quickly as well. They are one of those cookies that I can just keep on eating. They do not look dangerous like things with frosting etc and have such a mild, but delicious, flavor.
Ah yes bum warmers...you surely miss those once you've had a car with them. I use mine alot on low because I don't like the cabin itself too warm. Unlike the one I live with who cranks the heater as far into the red zone as possible then when it's too hot as far into the blue zone as possible, and back and forth... ggeeeeesh..
Love Snickerdoodles but haven't made them. Time to give it a try!
Temp reading of 39°F at my house at 11:30 AM. Now I've heard 28°F predicted tonight. I'll be in short sleeves as usual ... but *maybe* with a light jacket, if I can find it, LOL.

Yes Glenn, ur right. U know me too well lol.
Here in the SF Bay Area the weather forecasters are in hog heaven with the supposed "cold snap" we're having this week. Freeze warnings up for outlying areas. I know better and didn't do much besides move some tender potted plants under a tree. Guess what? They predicted mid 20's to mid 30's and still not a single burnt leaf on any tropical plant in my yard, even the unprotected ones. I checked the thermometer at 6:30 this morning and it read 40. I get so annoyed with these weather people who do things like predict the storm of the century when all we get is a few sprinkles. The weather is pretty boring around here so they jump at the chance to hype anything.
It's only into the low 60's during the day but nice and sunny. I'd be happy to have the situation some have reported here of temps still pushing 90. I love summer and hate winter. In fact I'm heading to LA next week in hopes of catching some warm days there. Usually their coldest winter daytime temps are the same as our warmest up this way, but I've also been stung in Palm Springs the first week of December freezing my buns off at a clothing optional resort so you just never know.
