Good morning Monday and President's Day-a no mail day today.
Much of our country is getting blasted with wintry storms and/or flooding. I checked in on our friends that live rural in Kentucky-and he says they are fine as they live on high ground. A few states got major flooding over the weekend. My friend that lives outside of Yellowstone Park beneath mountains has gotten Lots and Lots of snow the last few days with strong winds-ugh. They are constantly plowing themselves out.
I just checked on our weather again as I thought this storm was going north of us in Missouri-Not
Here is the weather report We are considered Southwest Missouri which is affected.
"Heavy snow expected Totals between 6-10 inches with some areas 6-14 inches starts midnight tonight til 6 am"
This sounds more like the winters we experienced in Northern Illinois.
We are prepared with food and bottled water, hoping we don't get the 30-40 mile an hour wind gusts that are also predicted with this storm-that will mess with boats and docks. The negative temps at night this week will have the lake freezing too.
Can't beat mother nature just need to go with it. I don't go out of the house any more during storms like this. This storm will effect many along with those of you on the east coast. Stay safe everyone-this is when I wish we would have fixed the woodstove set up for this lake home. I want to do that this summer-our friend that helps us would split the wood for us. Nothing cozier than a woodstove I miss that.
I think this will be a baking week, not sure what just yet. Perhaps oatmeal cookies this time, or an apple crisp. I will be slow stitching too on my second bag.
When I went shopping at Wal mart a few days ago I found organic free range large brown eggs for $6.00 I grabbed a dozen as that sounded like a good price-the local grocery store had that same price too.
Stay warm and safe everyone.
Stay safe, we were pummeled yesterday
ReplyDeleteI am SO sick of snow. It just keeps coming. And when it stops, it gets cold and windy. Hang in there. I'd like to bake too, but what I want to bake I shouldn't eat and since Rick will be traveling tomorrow (and not really able to carry coffee cake with him) I restrain myself. Your cookie plan sounds good!
ReplyDeleteNo need to post this comment
ReplyDeleteThanks for the information, I passed it on to my son. I looked them up on Google Earth, they look like beautiful pieces of property!
we loved it there-good deer and turkey hunting close to the Niangua river if he likes to float
DeleteOh no. Hope you do not get that much snow. We got lucky with only 7 inches. My mom foot a foot over the weekend. Janice.
ReplyDeleteHi I am so hoping we do not get that much snow either, and no ice or strong winds
DeleteAnd here I am complaining about 15F in sunshine... Hope all is well at your place and Spring is on the way in big shoes! Warm hugs to you and the lake!
ReplyDeleteWe did get snow on the weekend, Kathy, mostly on Sunday but then came the freezing rain which was worse. Main roads are clear, but side streets and walkways have a lot of ice as the temps haven’t warmed much, only in the 20s since then. Baking oatmeal cookies sounds like a good thing and maybe I will do some as well.
ReplyDeleteOh, dear Kathy, I hope it hasn't gotten that bad and the storm has passed and you can breathe a sigh of relief again. It's good that you were able to stock up on the most important things.
ReplyDeleteI recently baked oatmeal cookies and have a few left for coffee today.
Baking always sounds good, it makes you feel so cozy... and that wonderful smell... all the best for you both.
Viola sends you kind regards
