Good morning...

A new look in here.. Will take a moment to get used to but we will. Thank you Michael.

Yesterday went better than planned,vehicle was done in 1 1/2 hr not the 2 1/2 hr that was predicted. We scurried on home to have lunch. Making contact witha quilt recipient I set off to deliverone to her. Now today I do have a dance with Mr SB, just hope the snow is not the wet heavy stuff! Out of soup so a pot of beef barley will be made later.

Jane, are you snowed in? Talked with David yesterday, he was just coming through Erie PA and said it was snowing there.Does Happy 5 hours mean you have had five hours of snow???

Patricia, how is the weather your way?

Jenny, hope you are healing and hope very little pain along with it.

Better go get my dancing duds on....

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

MarsGal · January 19, 2024, 07:18:04 AM

Woke up to snow. We are to get 2-4 inches. Temp is 25^oFat the moment.

I found an apartment, but the lease date is Feb 1, a bit too soon for me to finish packing and such. Not much packed yet. So, I am terrorizing myself

at the moment. Going over Monday to sign the papers, if I don't chicken out.

JaneS · January 19, 2024, 08:57:20 AM

Good Morning! AMY, the "happy 5 hours" meant no one was in here for at least 5 hours between my own posts!

Cooper has arrived and we've had one walk in the snow! It started sometime during the night and is still coming down. The snow plows have been around and the roads are OK but my driveway won't get done until my neighbor, Steve, decides the snow has stopped.

Our trash pickup is already a day late because of the snow earlier in the week. I'm wondering if they will make it tomorrow as they said on the phone. I guess I'll see!

Dinner last night was excellent. I've found a different way on line to cook frozen peas and they were better than usual. I'm keeping this one!

Better go get something done before it's time for the next eye drops! Have a good day Everyfriend! Make it your own in every way! And stop by for a chat!

Amy · January 19, 2024, 10:35:55 AM

Just finished the dance, nice one this time ,got a lot done that couldn't be done before.
Jane, thank you for explaining that..

RAMMEL · January 19, 2024, 11:52:54 AM

Snowing here, but streets well salted and clear at this time.

patricia19 · January 19, 2024, 12:37:29 PM

In my world, and since you asked;

...Prolonged Arctic Blast Late Weekend Into Early Next Week...

A mid-winter arctic front is coming this weekend with seasonably cold temperatures lasting well into next week. While not particularly unusual, this will be one of the longer and more widespread cold snaps for the Interior this winter, as valley locations will fall to -30 F to -45 F (some cold spots will reach into the -50 F range) for overnight lows, with high temps struggling to warm much beyond -20 F early next week. This cold snap will last until at least Wednesday, with some slight moderation possible, but it may just drop right back into the deep freeze late next week again.

In addition, higher terrain hills and Interior Mountains will see bitterly cold wind chills to -40 F or colder late Saturday into Sunday as the arctic front shifts south.

Residents should prepare as needed for an old-fashioned Interior Alaska cold snap and have necessary cold weather gear available.

patricia19 · January 19, 2024, 05:01:22 PM

Alaska is known for both earthquakes and avalanches, often unexpected and disastrous. However, the majority of these, if not all, occur in the southeast because the land is narrow, squashed between the mountains and the gulf and sitting on a shifting bed of gravel. I can count, on one hand, the few minor earthquakes in the Interior.

Today, at 12:34, suddenly the earth didn't shake but rolled over and over several times and at 12:59, there are still mild after shocks. In my lifetime here, I have never felt an earthquake like that in the Interior. I'm off to see what information I can find.

5.3, 13km depth in Salcha, 32.6 miles from Fairbanks.

JaneS · January 19, 2024, 08:55:36 PM

Well, it's time to say....Good Night Everyfriend! The day is over and it was a "so far, so good" one for this area. It was cold but not windy so it didn't freeze right through one's body as soon as you stepped out the door!

Steve, my friendly neighbor, came across with his snow blower and did my driveway then it snowed a bit more and after Frankie picked up Cooper, I got up my energy and did a bit of shoveling! It wasn't so bad! I got the driveway cleared and the sidewalk around to the front of the house and then did the back porch under the roof where it blew in and a bit of the sidewalk to the shed where the oil tank and some other things make their homes.

Got all the eye shots done and I'm ready for the haystack. I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow. Make it your own day in every way! And share it with us if you have a minute!

Amy · January 20, 2024, 06:26:53 AM

Good morning..

Starting at -5°F this morning but when day light comes we will see sun!

Going over to a freidns to pick up tools that Kyle had lent them , then home to do laundry. Past couple of weeks rain has trevented me from hanging it outside but hopefully today it will go on the solar dryer.

Jane , Kyle calls those lazy winds, rather go through you than around you!!

Patricia, you may keep the -30 -45.

Better get the day rolling..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

JaneS · January 20, 2024, 07:43:00 AM

Good Morning, AMY and anyone else who comes by! At least I don't have to talk to myself this morning! I'm up, had breakfast, did 3 things to my eyes already and I'm ready to start the day.

I don't have Cooper this weekend but Frankie said she might stop by later!

Cathy is coming by to pick up my recycling and take it to the center this morning. They are open from 8a.m. to noon so I'll see her sometime this morning. She usually texts when she's on the way! Maybe I'll ride along with her. I need coffee and we go right past the place on the way to recycling!

AMY, I certainly understand how KYLE picked out the name for those "lazy winds". I'll remember that one!

Guess I better get the bed made and get myself dressed so I'm ready when Cathy calls or Frankie arrives! Take this day and make it yours in every way! And come by and say "HI" to the rest of us!

Amy · January 20, 2024, 03:39:15 PM

I think I am going to invest in a pair of roller skates , just to keep up with the day! Seems my good intensions to do a list of things never quite get done.

Temp managed to get up to 8°F but the sun never made an apperance so no laundry on the solar dryer. Another time perhaps.

My friend has been fighting a cold and it now has a strong hold on her, she finally agreed to go to the Dr. I sure did a happy dance when she said that.

Rick, did you get snow? We got a few flurries but nothign to worry about.

Phyllis, I think your baked custard in the IP will be done tomorrow. Nice easy dessert and easy on the stomach.

Might go sew for a bit...

We got some very fine snow. Did not accumulate much. It has been very cold, for here, getting up to 20 today.

Do you like the "New Format", or would you rather have (go back to) the OLD FORMAT?

JaneS · January 20, 2024, 09:14:06 PM

Well, I'm trying a new color tonight! If you can't read it, I'll change it tomorrow. Today was a busy one. Cathy and I made a trip to my recycling and it was closed so since we were in her car we made a trip to the one in town and it was open!

Then we stopped at the store for a few items and she dropped me off. But she must not have gone home because she came back later with an item that I use regularly. It was on sale so she bought two and dropped them off for me!

Now i'm off to the haystack. I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a good day tomorrow. Make it your own in every way! And share it with us!

JaneS · January 20, 2024, 09:14:46 PM

OOH!! I don't like that color!!

RAMMEL · January 20, 2024, 09:26:21 PM

Quote from: JaneS on January 20, 2024, 09:14:46 PMOOH!! I don't like that color!!

How about the new format?

CallieOK · January 20, 2024, 09:30:18 PM

Rammel, I prefer the old one!

Vanilla-Jackie · January 21, 2024, 12:03:21 AM

Rick - Callie...so do i, or rather, so did i..

patricia19 · January 21, 2024, 01:11:08 AM

All the options are available, only not in the same places. It will take a while to become comfortable with the new look and new method of doing things, but eventually, it will become second nature.

Amy · January 21, 2024, 06:51:07 AM

Good morning...

A nippy day out but no new snow to deal with.

A day of rest here, just have to make Phyllis baked custard and then heading to the basement to sew! A friend phoned and wants more mustard but that can be made on Monday.

Granted the new format is different but as Patricia said everything is there..just like before. We just need to get used to it, just like before.

Jane, that was so nice of Cathy to pick that up for you! Did you solve your printer problem?

Enjoy your day and stay safe..

JaneS · January 21, 2024, 08:36:14 AM

Good Morning! Today I'm trying green. It's my hometown hight school color and maybe it'll be good for me!

AMY, Cathy also got my printer working again! It took her seconds and made me feel ancient!

I'm all dressed and ready for church and I need to do one more eye drop right before I go so I'll be home in time for the next one. I'll sure be glad when these drops are finished and I can get back to my old schedule...or maybe make up a new one! No Cooper today! I miss him when he doesn't come over!

Have a good day Everyfriend! And share it with us! We miss you when you don't stop by!

Amy · January 21, 2024, 09:25:16 AM

Jane, glad to hear you are up and running on your printer!!! I like your new colour! Easy on the eyes it is.

There is a saying that your never too old to learn and thanks to Rick and Michael they help us learn new things in here. So ,thank you both!

Where does it show Users on line?

RAMMEL · January 21, 2024, 10:20:20 AM

Jane, do you know what Cathy did to get your Printer working? Could you find out. (Building knowledge)

Amy · January 21, 2024, 10:29:45 AM

Rick, scroll down to recent posts and on the left hand side you will see two people, click on that icon..
