By the way..........we have officially reached the above zero mark today. It is 3 degrees here in the Twin Cities. Fire up for that!!

What is going on with the weather? What about all the homeless people in that area with freezing temperatures? I can imagine the shelter centers are packed Blue

You guys must have your heaters running constantly all day and night long...
Try and keep warm... just thinking about those temps makes me shiver all over...
Keep safe!

Here in the west we are about 5 to 10 degrees warmer than what we should be. Los Angeles is at 80 degrees! wow...
Not much rain here in California this winter.... which is NOT a good sign... :unsure:

I can't quite imagine what the homeless are going through right now. I would think our shelters are packed indeed. I know my heat is cranked (my hubby is going to keel over I'm sure when the bill comes), but what can you do?! I'm all layered as it is!! I have the daycare and I need to keep them warm too! Our back family room is like the Oleson's icehouse....we have a wood burning fireplace insert, but it's been spewing smoke into the room so we need to figure out what's going on with it before we can use it. Good timing!! I like to use my 'heat dish' in my living room if I'm in there...that doesn't cost much at all to heat in comparison to the old style space heaters.

There are several ministries that are sending people out to search for homeless people to try and convince them to come in, at least through this bitterly cold stretch. I'm so glad that they're out there trying to help them. Those poor souls. Blue

One of the newscasters went under the bridge where a lot of homeless are and asked them how they deal with the bitter cold and the guy just said, "We just build a bigger fire and huddle around it a little longer." It didn't seem to phase him whatsoever........go figure........ :scratch:

That just baffles my mind. I went out tonight, and I was shaking from the cold after just a few minutes. And I was dressed very warmly! It breaks my heart to think of people having to be out in that. Blue

We are finally out of the negative temperatures. It never made it to zero yesterday. It was 1.9 when I got up this morning.

I don't get that either. I just can't even imagine staying out in this for very long, even WITH a fire! The front page of our newspaper had an article about the danger for pets right now. My dogs can barely take it out there as it is, and come right back to the door to come back in. To think there are people actually leaving their animals outside in this. I want to believe no one would be that cruel, but you know there are plenty of 'outdoor dogs' out there that aren't even getting a break at all from this.

I don't even want to think about it!! :sad5:

Helen consulted Merriam-Webster, and called back. Cool

S-i-c-k is an acceptable variation:

Main Entry:
²sic
Variant(s):
also sick \ˈsik\
Function:
transitive verb
Inflected Form(s):
sicced also sicked \ˈsikt\ ; sic·cing also sick·ing
Etymology:
alteration of seek
Date:
1845 1 : chase , attack —usually used as a command especially to a dog <sic 'em> 2 : to incite or urge to an attack, pursuit, or harassment : set <sicced their lawyers on me>

Merriam-Webster says so.

:Hahaha: I LOVE being able to tell Barn to put his ticket book away! :Hahaha: I'll refrain from saying "Na-na-na-na-naaaaaaaa-naaa".

We've gotten about 4 or 5 inches of snow so far today. Cheer

Subject: Re: SNOW! Sat Jan 17, 2009 6:50 pm

Been snowing all day here, too. I've shoveled the back deck three times already. I'm thinking we're in the 8-10 inch range.

Subject: Re: SNOW! Sat Jan 17, 2009 9:22 pm

I feel so bad for all of y'all! Right now we're sitting at 62*. Not a snowflake in site!
