I love finding my generic car in a packed parking lot by looking for the 'Wash is my co-pilot' license plate cover. It's Saturday!!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

The only thing I cared about as far as the Super Bowl is that the Patriots don't go. Thanks to Manning and the Broncos mission accomplished. Now I don't really care who wins. Ha!

Mid 50s here today, but calling for low 30s tomorrow and 3-5 inches of snow overnight tonight??? Weather is so up and down here. Changes daily.

Copy that, Browncoat1; it was 63 here yesterday…and today the low will be 13. At least we aren't going to get any snow. Has been a crazy winter.

We got down to 10 degrees overnight. 13 this morning when I hit the road. No bike today unfortunately since we got 4-5 inches in my area and 3-4 inches here in the city. Of course as this is Virginia everything is practically shut down due to snow. *sighs*

Hope all of our brothers & sisters in the areas that got heavy snow are doing well.

Not a huge fan of comics, but got my pre-order in for the upcoming Serenity series from Things from Another World. Also…I am really, truly sick of cold weather…but more tired of the panic-inducing weather forecasters. This IS winter and we get storms.
I agree with Browncoat1 and hope our brothers and sisters in heavy snowfall areas are doing well!
Happy Friday Eve.

Ouch! Guess I have no reason to complain about 10 degrees then. Hopefully it warms up for you soon Sister.

Thank you, Browncoat1…we're having a 'heat wave' in TN this morning…30 degrees!! The next blast of cold comes in on Monday; so I'll make the best of this 'warmer' weather…have a great day.

I know Ken & Niki are doing alright after the Winter Apocalypse hit ATL. All of those stranded motorists were unbelievable and now the politicians are all playing the blame game and pointing fingers.

Hope everyone weathered the storms okay. Sure would like for Spring to hurry up and get here already.

My copy is in the mail! No comic book stores anywhere close so it's the snail mail route; but I am looking forward to the arrival.
It's finally Friday AND we actually got above freezing for the first time in what seems like weeks and weeks. Glad to hear our Atlanta friends survived the storm.

Ditto for the weather here, BC1! This morning it's actually close to 'balmy'; and the sky IS a funny, bluish color. At least we have a few days to get outside and absorb some solar. Make it a good one.

Glad to hear the pooch is doing well Sister. Kind of worried about our 19 year old tabby cat, Oni. She had a stroke two year ago that left her deaf and her tail paralyzed. Now she is going blind and we believe she is exhibiting early signs of renal failure. Taking her to the vet this afternoon to be checked out.

Thanks Sister. It is just what we thought, onset of renal failure. She is nearly 20 and has survived a stroke and still going, but the vet says she has maybe a few more months. We have her home resting comfortably in her favorite spot.

Friday at long last. Been a long week. Hope everyone is doing well.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Forgive me if I come across as uncaring, but all people in Richmond have talked about for the last three days is the "huge snow storm" headed this way. While we are more used to it (and better equipped to deal with it) than the folk in Atlanta, it boggles my mind that people are staring at the doppler radar picture on their computers like they are seeing a hoard of Reavers headed their way and they can't escape. It's snow people, not Ragnarök. It is Winter and that means cold temperatures and the possibility of snow. I get that we are in Virginia and most of the state with the exception of the mountains gets little annual snowfall people act like the world is ending.

Yes, snow and ice make it difficult, even dangerous to drive, but not impossible. Allow more time, be careful, but be prepared. We are humans, not helpless fish trapped out of water. Your cupboards should never be so bare that you must rush the grocery store for milk and bread. Every household that gets snow, even if it is infrequently, should have a snow shovel and a plan for dealing with snowfall.

Maybe it is just the military man in me, more likely it is the Norseman in me, that feels people should be better prepared, more self sufficient, and ready to tackle a problem, rather than look on with dread and an inability to act.

Agree completely! Maybe it's the Irish in me; but it also seems really irresponsible for such 'fear-mongering'… Yes, it's winter which means snow and ice. But calm down…it's NOT the end of the world.

Course I say this and the "governor" of the Commonwealth issues a "state of emergency" for Virginia yesterday at 2pm when there is not a cloud in the sky and the sun is out. *shakes head*

We got six inches from yesterday afternoon into the wee hours of the morning today, but I am at work. My employer does not believe in weather prohibiting operation. *sigh* Richmond and surrounding counties are all shut down and will be through Monday I imaging. Calling for slim chance of freezing rain and sleet this afternoon, but I have the truck so it is all good.

Stay safe and warm out there browncoats.

Take heart, Browncoat1; I think the warmer weather is headed your way! My sister lives in Richmond and thankfully has not lost power. Most of our 2-3 inches of snow and ice has melted and the forecast is for one more day of cold then a warming trend into the 70's by later next week…Plus, it's FRIDAY!!

Thanks Sister! Hope you had a great Valentine's Day.

A bit warmer today, in the mid 40s. Calling for low 60s by week's end, but chance of rain again this weekend. Dropping the bike off today for the 10k service, inspection, and get her in top shape for riding season in a few weeks. Of course I ride pretty much ten months out of the year. LOL

It is indeed! Nearly 60 today, but of course it is raining. Tomorrow should be dry enough to ride. Friday they are calling for thunderstorms. As wet as the Winter has been I hope Spring is a bit drier.
