Well, it's still packed up in a box in the garage, and the garage is too cold right now to go out there and get it...
That was earlier this morning, when we were coming back from shopping around noon, we actually turned on the A/C for few minutes because the van got too hot sitting out in the parking lot.

Greetings, gang.
Cloudy and 12 degrees outside my window this morning. High for today is supposed to be in the mid 20s with a chance of light snow for tonight.
Another day of goofing off scheduled for today although I might make it to the gym.
Don - got a good chuckle out of your reply.
East coast members - keep your heads down. Looks to be a nasty weekend for you.
All stay safe.

Morning. Warmer today. Tomorrow is another story. Tom is sending some of his mess here. A few chores today. Beavers given up on building dam in spillway but doing damage else where at the pond.
Stay warm, well and dry.

Waiting for Snow-Hio the only thing the weather forecast doesn't have in it is algebra! 
I'm waiting for a weather guesser to simply say, "Yes, Bill - we're gonna get a huge amount of snow"!!
They keep dancing around - 6" - 10" - 12" - 18" - 20" .... then they will say "We accurately predicted the amount of snowfall"!!!
Sure you did... because you said every number between 6 & 20!!
Well, we'll see what we get and how much we can shovel. 
Everyone stay safe!

Good Morning Blue
Cloudy and 20s today.
I feel for those in the storms way but happy to say it will miss us.
If that much snow fell here we would be looking at it till the middle of March.
I enjoyed the new Lionel catalogs but not the prices.

Greetings, gang.
Cloudy and 18 headed for cloudy and 20. Picked up about an inch of snow overnight. I'd rather get 2 inches. Then I could justify using the snow blower.
Sympathies to all those in the path of the storm but as SJ said I'm glad I'm not in the path of the storm.
Only project for today is to clean the sidewalks.
All stay safe.

Snowing here in "beautiful Downtown Vernon Hills". Looks like in every cubic foot of air, there might be three snowflakes, gently falling down. :mrgreen:

Morning all been a few days. Got a dusting of snow over night maybe if lucky about 1/4" Not a lot going on here. suppose to get a couple of packages today one is just some postwar billboards and there cardboard signs that go with them the other is a order from Menards which the wife it going to intercept and hold for my birthday on the first. Yeah I know whats coming but never ordered or seen stuff from them so it's still going to be nice. We normally will either pick out or buy but not touch our own gifts for Christmas and birthdays and all, that way we get what we want and still enjoy it.
30 out there right now but going up to 44 before the day is over then down to 25 tonight. Hope all up north east side are safe and with power. Stay warm and dry. Talk to you all later

Good Morning Blue
Sun and 30 today.
The snow storm is becoming a nightmare. I feel sorry for anyone in it's path.
On the other hand the Weather Channel reporters drive me nuts with their silly snow reports.

 Here in the "Chicago-land area", they are reporting; " Monster Storm Hits East Coast " 
D.C. , unless drivers there have learned better, is a "Slippery Slope Zoo", and it looks bad all the way north to Massachusetts,
maybe further now since I last looked at the TV.
Vernon Hills got a light dusting, with slightly cooler temps. (( "reporting", not bragging ))
