Roll Call

Seems like some of the "regulars" on the forum must be Christmas shopping this evening.

It's a rare occurrence when Turbs,Herk,and OC are offline.

Glad I can stay in tonight -its been raining all day here and chilly also.

B,
Cold rain here all day too, but stayed right at or just above freezing, so no ice. I think Kansas got ice and then it went north of the St. Louis area.
Our D-I-L in West Des Moines, IA hit a patch of ice in their subdivision a couple of nights ago and slid her new car into a parked pick-up truck. Tore up her right front fender pretty badly.

Ice at night is called "Black Ice" here and it will sneak up on you. Hope she is OK.

Rain here all day,but it's 47 so no ice - black or otherwise.

Very rainy and cold here with ice storm and power outage warnings.
Guess weather is crappy from Texas to Nova Scotia with tornadoes expected is some places in the south. Very crappy weather. Still, finished my shopping today. Was so mad when I'm pushing carts in freezing rain and forgot where I parked. More than once.

Been sitting outside watching TV drinking coffee and enjoying the 70° night here in Davenport, FL. Really like this park. 82 sites with level concrete pads, drive and patios.

So no booze - is that because your buddy Turbs isn't there?

Glad you're enjoying your park - looking good.

We have ice here today. Started about 7-8pm friday and it finally stopped raining and misting around 5 pm tonight. Luckily only lost power for 5 hr so far. Inlaws about 10 miles away lost power for a couple hours early Sat morning then lost it again around noon. They said they might have it back tomarrow. Tried to get them to stay the night, but came up for dinner and went home to pile on the blankets.
- im so over this winter. The ice looks pretty but, I hate it.

Thanks, Frank.

Miller-Time, I'm with you. I hate winter weather, and the older I get, the more I hate it.

OC, now you're just rubbing it in
