Good morning friends come on in and have a seat, coffee is hot and fresh, we have a variety of stuff to eat so its a made to order day ( just remember this isn't Burger king you get it our way not yours! :D ) We had a light coating of snow this morning with teens for the temps but Im not complaining.
Not much going this weekend just dinner later with some friends and getting ready for more camping next weekend, fuel prices are climbing up by the day :o but not much we can do but be smarter about wasted trips, I just wonder how bad this will affect the RV business and campgrounds in general?
Have a great day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. :yes:

Morning all!

Thanks for letting us in K!
40 degrees here but the temps will be falling rather than going up and it's windy as heck. Light rain that should turn to snow this morning, we'll see.

Been driving the New Old Truck to work this week and it's all good. Turns out it only needs the cam sensor and VVT actuator for emissions and a new headlight socket for inspection. Things are looking good!

Mornin'
Thank you for the coffee, Keepa.........I've been burning wood in the Yukon, and coal in the Herald, alternating every 3 or 4 days, to keep the house at 70*.............using a lot of Kingsford charcoal!!!!! Raining light now, getting colder, and some snow this afternoon/evening.......just lit the Herald for the next run. DST tomorrow mornin'..............then Spring, right around the corner, yeah!!!!!! Have a good week-end everyone.
Cheers

Snowing hard here. My youngest is invited to a sledding/tubing party today, looks like conditions will be good on the hill...the roads, not so much.


Tonight - A 40 percent chance of snow, mainly before 1am. Areas of blowing snow. Cloudy, then gradually becoming partly cloudy, with a low around 11. Wind chill values as low as -6. Breezy, with a west wind 18 to 23 mph, with gusts as high as 41 mph. New snow accumulation of less than one inch possible.


Tonight sounds like it will be a good time to stay in. I need to bring some nut coal in for the Chubby Jr stove.

A little below zero this morning here with probably the last sun dogs of the winter as its supposed to warm up into the 40s and 50s this coming week. Not a lot of snow this winter which is fine with me.

I guess I'll struggle thru my taxes today so Im ready to go when the warm weather hits. Camping sounds fun! Take care everyone!

No one is touching this snow. Mud plowing here too. We got a bunch of rain, followed by a cold couple inches of snow & crazy windy. This coming week.... Spring!
