    Good day everyone, depending on which weatherperson you listen to we should see from 1 to 4 inches of white stuff. I chose the 1 inch forecast. The weather people are not very excited so the grocery stores were normal today. Only the lady with the $295 food bill appeared to have more in her basket than necessary. Of course she could have had a mob to feed at home. I did not ask. Time to check the snow-shovel to see if it is awake.

    Supposedly, we're going to get 1-3 inches of the white stuff overnight. Bitter cold on the way, below zero windchills predicted. Mailed out a seed order to RH Shumway. I've usually used Jung's, but, I decided to give these folks a try, I really liked the catalog. BTW Jerry, the lady with all the groceries could be like the missus and I. We've needed to grocery shop for three weeks now. We've gone from needing to fill in the empty spots a bit, to needing to refill the pantry and freezer.

    Nice to see you are still alive and kicking,..look after yourself and make sure you have fully recovered before resuming work,..on this side of the pond there is a vomiting flu bug going around,..mostly in England.

    Good Saturday morning all. Currently -14°C and overcast. We had some light snow overnight and a bit more expected today. My sump pump line is frozen.
    Not planning a whole lot today ... feeling lazy :)

    Happy Saturday morning. Windy and cold out. We'll be lucky if temps reach mid 50s. BUT... there's not a cloud in the sky! :-D I'll have to bundle up and spend some times outside... no matter what! Tonight will get down to freezing, so I'll be covering up the "special" plants again. And it's supposed to be rainy on Sunday and Monday. Rain good. Cheryl stuck in the house on her days off work.... bad.

    Good morning all.
    Hope everyone feeling ill will be well again real soon....just don't sneeze or cough on the computer and spread it to the rest of us ;)

    Overnight temp was 25, still only 30 at 10 a.m. We might be unlucky and reach 40 later today. Brought plants in last night, covered pipes too and there should be a repeat tonight. I am loving it.

    Good morning all. A cool day and a very cold night ahead. BUT the robins are back. Spring really is around the corner.

    Good Sunday morning all. Currently -10°C and snowing. We got about 10cm overnight.
    Hopefully, we'll go out and play in it a little later :)
    Donna - The Robins never left our area this winter. There is a flock of them in the forest behind my house of about 40 that have been here all winter.
    Have a great day all!

    Happy Sunday morning. Cold and windy again. It's supposed to be rainy, but right now it's nice and sunny. That'll give me time to uncover the plants.
    Yesterday, I did a bit of mowing. If it stays sunny, I may do some.

    Good morning all, another cold morning here, 28 for a low and maybe getting above 32 later today. But tonight between midnight and 6a.m. we just might have a wintry mix of snow/sleet and rain. Since it will most likely be our only chance this season I will be up, watching and waiting for it to happen.

    Good day everyone, Cold temperatures did not keep us home as we went to a local home show to look for new features and appliances. Minor items were all that we purchased.

    Good Monday morning. Overcast, cold, windy. Supposed to be rainy most of the day. Good thing I got alot done outside yesterday, because I'm afraid I'll be stuck inside most of today.

    Good Monday morning all. Currently -3°C and sunny, but the wind makes it feel much cooler. Internet issues again this morning, but it seems to be working now. Baking and cleaning is today's plan. Have a great day all :)
