Shoot the Breeze With the Cooler Crew - Ableminds Edition

I had thunder and lightning here earlier...

me2

Small power outage in North St Paul and a small part of Maplewood on the 1900 block of County road B.

:frown:

Hopefully it doesn't get like that here... Our power lines are above ground here (don't know about your area, but it's unusual here) so we are more susceptible to that kind of thing :frown:

Most of Maple Grove is Under Ground except a few of the older areas. But we still have power issues with the Grids. This weather is bad news for those all over town :eyeroll:

ish

Good luck to everyone that we may all have power and internet connectivity when we all get snowbound... Or the 2-4 inches Kitch said we are getting...

so far, I think Kitch has a higher percentage on the being correct scale than the weatherpeople...

Well up here in Isle we were suppose to get an inch or two possible over night and I am looking out at a dusting if you even want to call it that...We'll see what today brings.

... still waiting ...

i'm going to bump up my prediction just a tad...to 3-5....reason...I honestly thought last night would be all freezing rain...I must goofed by 1/2 of a degree with that crap we got. :eyeroll:

What did you get? We got less than an inch here, even though it was predicted 4-6 inches.

Or the 2-4 inches Kitch said we are getting...

so far, I think Kitch has a higher percentage on the being correct scale than the weatherpeople

Lame ass 'storm' (so far)

There's a reason why we ask Kitch rather than asking the weatherman. :eyeroll:

we got a couple inches up here.

Just came in from shoveling and it's heavier than it looks. The bottom layer is a crust covered with granular stuff. Most of it must have fallen early this morning, because there were no footprints from my paper woman.

I'm really glad I got that stuff shoveled before the next round.

yuhas nail'd it so far in my book....

he said there would be thunder overnight...1-4...ok...less than that...but he was kinda close....

We didn't even get enough to shovel.

Dave Dahl said 1-2 last night at 10. But at 5pm he had it at 4-6

What does Sven Sundgaard say?

A couple of weeks ago my daughter was next to him at a gas station in Cottage Grove. Her six year old rolled down the window and asked him if it was going to snow (it was the only weather question he could think of I guess). He answered, "Not tonight". And guess what? It didn't!

So I trust Sven. :goofy:

I don't know...but...interesting blog.

Who is going to be the first to buy this headlamp before the AW hunt: http://www.coolhunting.com/archives/2007/02/fox_fury_headla.php

That was fun to read. Thanks!

And, update from WI Dells - my brother got approximately 10 inches last night. He was grateful that his neighbor had a snow blower.

<--coulda told you the dells would get snow :wink:

Not sure on that one. Looks interesting, but it's better to get 1 high wattage LED bulb than a dozen standard ones.

thats a great story OT! :smile:

Ive taken to him over the last few months -

Mark says he's a pretty nice guy- always smiling

You see the whole reason we have weather is because the atmosphere is always trying to achieve equilibrium- sounds like life

OT? do you know Lynda, a.k.a. "TD" The Clown?

Hmmm, hard to tell in the clown makeup. Should I? Is she from SSP?

ooooh sorry OT- I meant that for Wanda but she doesnt post in here :frown: disregaurd -

LilSlim had her baby Friday, February 23,2007 at 12:09 PM. Kyan weighed 7 pounds 9 Oz and was 20 1/2 inches long. Just wanted to let everyone know!! She said she is sad because she hasn't had many visitors because of the snow except for a couple of people who live close to the hospital.

w00t :smile:

I have to say nothing beats a nice snowy night :smile:

YAY!!

Great News!! Thanks for letting us know. What hospital?

Nice night shot Oddie. I take it you like you new camera.

Thanks CM.... Yeah I enjoy it. The nights shots I can get now are a big deal to me. Looking forward to trying it out on some fireworks.

CM, sir. I'm using one of your Winter Carnival fireworks shots as my wallpaper. I am belatedly asking for permission, sir. :grin:

Congratulations to the Lilslim family! Great news!

A brand new Cooler baby! And soon there will be another. :smile:

Congratulations, lilslim and family!

WELCOME TO THE WORLD KYAN!!

Hope your doing ok Mommy!

What hospital?

I have to go to St Joes anyways, so if shes there I'll stop in.

You flatter me OT! :sheepish: :sheepish:

I was thinking the same about United/Childrens

hospital -

nope and nope - she is a bit of a drive for me -but one I hope to make before she gets out -

so it's a secret?

For those of you playing along with the Oscars

http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/movies/documents/2007OscarBallot.pdf

The best song was BS. The only reason that the song from an inconvenient truth won is because dreamgirls had 3 songs nominated and they split the votes. I think they need a new rule that only 1 song may be nominated from any particular movie.

BFG, I didn't know you were so into the Oscars.

I liked the shadow figures the best :ooh:

gordy should take some viagra for that :wink:
