Morning all,  

Back from our Florida trip.  Two days ago I was at the beach in the gulf waves with a dolphin swimming about 100 feet away.  Here today it's 24 degrees (feels like 15) and it's snowing.   :o

Looked in on the forum intermittently.  Hopefully I can get some work done on the challenge kit today, if I don't have to shovel.   Fortunately, we seem to be on the edge of the storm, only and inch or two.

Good morning, Jeff. Our weather guessers say snow from late afternoon till tomorrow, but no more than 6".  Chickens first, then bills to pay, then an hour on the interstate to the Trolley Museum.  Returning in snow, likely.

8) 40o and sun at 0900, steadily declining back into winter by noon and beyond.  Winter will be back with a little snow by dark, 20s for highs back by tomorrow and on.  It IS still February.  We enjoyed a couple nice days for sure.  Mother Nature's Magic Slate is back to blank. :o 

I worked on the layout yesterday and will try again today for awhile.  The Doll is occupied with her grand daughter today.  :D

Welcome back, Jeff, sorry about the weather.  Your inner settings have to reset, I'm sure, from past experience from mid winter trips to the South.

Be safe, all.

Morning. Another day off, another Doctors appointment for my mother. Luckily, it's before the snow is to hit, and it's 5 minutes from the house. Plugging away on a Fos Kit of the Month, a tire shop, but instead it will be a small DPW garage. I also received 3 Ford Model A truck kits from Artitec yesterday that I need to check out. Another week in the books, Raymo

You don't get much accomplished during the day when you sleep through the alarm's early morning greeting. I'm glad yesterday's bout with office chair assembly is behind me (or under me).
If you keep your guess or prognostication below 35 degrees, you'll probably be correct regarding our weather between now and Monday morning.
Keep on modeling!
