I usually put out an old futon mattress for him, but it being winter, I had to put it in storage.

I have a friend who gets thrown out on a regular basis, and he's had a lot of luck with one of those airbags that pole vaulters use. It provides a much wider landing area than a futon. You might want to look into that.

It's -6 here at the moment.

Hey, good advice! He'd appreciate it. She throws him out on a regular basis. In the summer, I'll hear the argument start, so I go sit in the rocker on the porch (after placing the poor guy's futon of course) and watch.

We are getting dumped on with snow right now.

57 degrees and cloudy and I'm cold lol

Come on sunshine!!!!!

Small town entertainment...right guys?

Our winter weather advisory started at 7 AM. We're supposed to get 6-12 inches. I see that is has started to snow.

We have about 25" of snow right now and it's still coming down! The trees and power lines, I hope, will not come down....I really, really don't want to lose power.

Wow, crazy!!! I forget, what state do you live in Alice?

We're about to get our big storm....a foot today, possibly another tomorrow! Nothing compared to everyone else, I know!

We're having a few flurries, but it's not supposed to amount to anything.

Wow! Well that's a switch for ya!

You could come here, Carol. It's been sunny, but we're getting 5 to 10 inches of snow tomorrow.

Wow, they've already called a snow day for our school tomorrow! Can't remember the last time that's happened!

I live in Virginia, Amy. About 20 minutes outside D.C.

They did the same thing here, and I don't expect the kids will have school for the rest of the week. A lot of counties around us in both MD, VA and even D.C. (that hardly ever happens) have already announced they will be closed through Friday. The county and Federal governments are closed as well. They've even called out the National Guard!

On top of the snow we already had, which was actually only 20" in our yard (the neighbors behind us had 26") we are having pretty much blizzard conditions right now. I believe we are in the 10" to 16" range for snow, but that could change quickly. They said for people to expect to lose power today, I hope that doesn't happen to anyone. The news reports have said there were some people in Maryland that lost power on Friday and just got in back yesterday.

Firemen have delivered six babies in the past five days, several building roofs have collapsed, accidents and heart attacks. It's a nightmare, we're not used to this kind of weather in our area.

I think I had better take down my little snowman "Welcome" sign from our the front porch. He has such a big happy smile on this face ).

Wow Alice, that is pretty tough!
I hope your power doesn't go out.

I like snow but i can stay way up in the mountains lol
I'm waiting for it to get a little warmer to go up there.

They say by 3:00 the snow is going to move out of the area, but we still will have the winds to contend with. I would love to be in California right now

They just said in the Washington D.C. area this has been the snowiest winter in 126 years, since they've been keeping records.

Wow! I can believe it!

I wish I could fly you down here. FINALLY it's warming up... it's supposed to be sunny with a high of 66 degrees this Saturday!

My friend is heading down to Knotts Berry Farm this weekend where it will be 77 degrees!

Okay I'll stop talking before I get thrown something at me... lol

No, but seriously... I hope you guys are keeping warm as best you can! A friend of my mom's husband had an accident while driving a delivery truck when he went to (not sure, but it was one of the states where it snows). Anyway, he was on the highway and saw that a policeman was parked giving out a ticket to someone... and as you know.. the new rule... you have to move over to the next lane or slow down whenever you see that... well, as he was doing just that... since the the road were slippery, the truck spun out of control and rolled over several times... he was fine thank goodness!

The whole day has been non-stop rain, and 100% chance for tonight!!!!
I am hating winter right now!!!

I'm so glad to hear that the friend was o.k. How scary to roll a vehicle!

Enjoy your weather, Carol ... I know we will get our's eventually

I will look at this picture whenever I want to complain about being cold

Where was that, Carol?

We had about 1/4" when they were calling for 1 to 3" but the kids finally went back to school today, with a two hour delay!
