Got to get my glu-wein warmed up before the next outage.

Wow and it's only October. I checked the doppler and noticed the big band of pink that passed through your area. Hope you guys stay warm and avoid any more power outages.First and second picture are of the tree in the front yard. 3rd picture tree in back yard and the other 2 are on the side facing forward, then back view. No snow, all ice and more to come tonight and tomorrow.
The best to you Warrior Cat. Batten down the hatches.
29° right now with 20mph winds. If the power goes out again we have enough battery powered lanterns to light up the whole house with plenty of batteries to spare. Probably bundle up, play a few games and hit the rack early. Wife and daughter both off tomorrow (work and school) because of this so, I won't fire up the generator again for power until tomorrow morning. We all like sleeping while it is cold so, I will be the first up to get things going for them. Old Army habits and all.
I looked in to them and I really like them, but I just couldn't justify the $7K when we haven't had but a couple of hours of outage in the past 8-9 years. However, if I lived where you get a lot of ice, or hurricanes, I wouldn't think twice. The have an auto battery that starts it, and it automatically comes on, every Sat morning to keep the battery charged, and self-checks itself. Runs pretty quietly, and with NG, pretty cheaply. I read a blog where a guy in Louisiana had his run for 6 weeks, straight, after a hurricane took out all power in his area. We have 2 60,000 BTU non-vented gas fireplaces, and it will keep our house fairly warm.
I hear ya. Same front hit us a few hours ago. Currently 47° and windy. We may see upper-30s tonight. Love it.
Beshear today. Damn it. 3 more years of this guy really depresses me. Jefferson County can't take any more of his BS.
Yeah I'm pissed.
Yeah I'm pissed.

Well, Hopkins committed to UK. Now we need to get Collins in the next 2-3 days. I think everyone else will wait until spring.
Hello to everyone in the D. Hope life is treating all of you well. Finally getting caught up with the farm work a little bit. Been trying to catch up but y’all are living too fast, damn, thought I was young enough, but it’s showing, I’m not. Anyway, good to see most are still posting and trodding along. Winter is coming, got to get the long johns ready. Cows are wanting hay. It’s a new season, carry on.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 42°F, cloudy, breezy and chilly. Some light drizzle. Thundersleet out by San Angelo. We might reach 50°F today. Weather went straight from summer to winter here. Heard about winter storm warning up in OK. Hope Warrior and family are okay. Our present weather conditions should make for an interesting morning walk.
Wishing all our fellow D-League members continued happiness and good health.

Morning Legionnaires!
Made it through the night with light icing but, still not out of the woods. Radar has some more coming and it has just started to come down. Wife and daughter stayed up until the wee hours last night because they are getting another day to stay home. Needed my sleep in case the worst happened so I could be rested to do the man thing. You know, the thing. We will probably use that line for years to come.
Good Morning D League
Waking up to a warm morning 75° waiting for the sun to come up. We should reach 86° with sunshine and a possible afternoon shower. The moon phase is Waxing Gibbous.
Time for a coffee fill up, it sure taste good this morning. For those freezing this morning from the ice may things melt away soon. Stay safe.

Brrrrr. We hit 39°F outside. Probably colder with wind chill. It's 67°F inside our house. Heater is off.
Love it.
Love it.
28° when I woke up here this morning with light freezing rain. Possible snow to follow.
Oh the weather outside is frightful...
Good morning D, nasty day in the Berg, but it could be worse! Saw Oklahoma City this morning, looks bad! How close are you to OKC WC? We had our storm in 2009, we were in the bullseye for that one, over half inch of ice! When I walked out that morning I could transformers exploding and branches, trees falling everywhere!!! I made it to work, what was a 10 minute drive turned out to be an hour, that was on the parkway. When we got there, they took three of us to check out the plant. We had power lines down, sent us home. Was out for two weeks then they just brought a few of us back just to check every thing out and try to get the explosive plant back up and running!!!
The scarcest I have ever been was, one night on seconds a storm came up out of no where it seemed like, thunderstorms we were always sent to the breakroom, great idea when you work at an explosive plant, but before I could get all the dect cord machines shut down a bolt of lightening struck a tree beside the building I was in, I could feel the heat come thru the building!!!! When I got to the breakroom, they started laughing at me and told me I was white as a sheet. It was already close to quitting time, told the supervisor, I am done, went home!!!
Did any of the D happen to catch the Chris Qumo show last night? I was flipping channels and came across it, he had a Trump cabinet member on there and was having a meltdown!!!! Screaming at the guy because he couldn't get the Trump guy to say something bad about him, I think he is the gubnor's bro in Na York, it was hilarious!
Have a great one D, stay safe WC!!!!

I'm afraid we're going to lose the WH. I just hope we maintain a majority in the Senate, to keep the liberals from giving away everything they can, buying votes for the next election.
about 60 miles from OKC and we are getting what they are getting. Still freezing rain coming down. While it looks like snow from a picture stand point, it's not, it is all ice.
I would say UK will have to rent two mules for the beating coming....first one will be dead by halftime
Will those mules carry them across the Ky border?
Morning all. It is another wet day in Smiths Grove. We are 52.3°F, on our way to 64°. That is an improvement on yesterday; however, we are supposed to cool down to the 30's come Friday morning.
Ben, maybe it is because of where I live but I feel great about Trump being re-elected. Florida is turning out big for Trump. My wife voted yesterday and came home with a big smile. She said the lines were long and even broke out in a "We love Trump".
Of course I live in one of the most conservative areas of Florida so maybe it is not like that in other areas. Florida has 4 liberal counties out of 67 but they are heavily populated. But the thing that is making us confident down here is the Hispanic vote. South Florida is home to Cubans, Venezuelans and other Socialist countries that have fled their native land because of it. They will go 95% Trump because the Democrats are flirting with socialism.
This may be what brings Florida in the win column because Central, North Florida and the Panhandle are heavy Trump country. The Panhandle is probably the most conservative region in America with thousands of retired military. All Trump
I have renewed hope. Trump is looking better now than four years ago.
I agree, but he kind of sneaked up on them last time. The libs have been getting out the voters and then there is the mail fraud that I am concerned with. Plus, every time you see TV, or sports, they are advocating, "Vote". They are not urging folks to exercise their right to vote, they are urging people who have never voted before to get out and vote against Trump.
Stay safe and warm Warrior....is this common for this time of year there?First and second picture are of the tree in the front yard. 3rd picture tree in back yard and the other 2 are on the side facing forward, then back view. No snow, all ice and more to come tonight and tomorrow.
- Good Morning, D-Leagueanites and Lurkers.
- 60º this morning in Cumming.. Overcast all day probably.
- North Georgia is Trump country.
- I believe that #3 Grandson is doing the Jungle Leg of his Ranger Training out of Eglin AFB. I worry about the Cottonmouths biting him. He is fired up and will make it with flying colors. He is as tough as a pine knot. And dedicated,
- I tried that Shufflebean coffee one time, and found that it was not strong enough for me. The Green Mountain Dark Magic is just right. 2nd mug has gone down.
- Lola is up and attem. Sleeps all day like a feline. She loves the Great-Grandson. Funny how she knows that he is a baby. Very gentle with him.
- No wildlife action.
- Sorry to read that Warrior and Austin are having all that weather. It looks rough. No fishing.
- As you were.
- Carry on.

No, generally it is quite warm this time of year. Wind chill is the only thing that bothers you. This is unusual.
Yeah, fishing is done for the year. Supposed to be back up in the 60's by Friday here.
I don't believe this. It flies in the face of everything I see around me. I still can't believe the whole country has gone this crazy. We'll know soon enough.
47°➫°69° Sunny, crisp & dry.
Sandhills are arriving. Some folks eat them. I've not been interested. To much work for crane meat. I know eagles sure like them dead or off the wing.
Wow that Michigan weather is nasty.. But Trump just keeps on Trumping . I get pneumonia below 72 degrees
Been busy today between some house chores and doing some computer work (and checking out these forums, especially political forum).
Just thought that I hadn't gotten my national weather forecast for the day, so I had to check out all your weather. About all that is missing (I think) is the Northwest (Seattle), Northeast (Boston), and maybe Chicago.
Now, I'm up to snuff.

- If you watch FOX they seem (at least to me) to be using fear of the unknown to combat complacency.
- NewsMax is obviously Pro-Trump but at least projects the appearance of some objectivity. There's little to no objectivity or truth left on most major televised media outlets and local programming has degenerated into a continuous drum beat of deception.
- I too, see more Trump support than 2016 and continue to be amazed my the lack of societal critical thinking .

Another goodie from FaceBook:
About like a story I once heard. A guy who is a liberal asked his boss, who was a conservative, to have dinner at his house. When the boss arrives, he gets to meet their 8 year old daughter, who has been brought up in the liberal household. When they sit down to dinner, the little girl tells the boss about how she had met this man, who was down on his luck and was panhandling down at the supermarket. Knowing the boss was well to do, the little girl asked him if he could stop by there, on his way home and give the man a $100 to help him out. The liberal parents just smiled, because they were so proud of their daughter thinking of others. The boss thought it over and told the little girl, " I tell you what. You come to my house on Saturday and work out in the yard. When you are finished, I will give him the $100 and tell him it is from you." The little girl thought about it for a couple of minutes and asked the boss, "Can he just come over to your house and work? Then you can give the money directly to him." Much to the dismay of the parents, the boss stuck out his hand to the little girl, and said, "Welcome to the Republican Party."
Has anybody on here ever been contacted by people conducting polls during a presidential election? I'll be 60 in a few weeks, my parents are 86, nobody in my family has ever been contacted. In fact, to the best of my recollection I've never known anyone who has been contacted.
Update on ice weather. First 2 pictures is of my poor little tree and neighbors tree. Last picture is of wife's yellow rose bush.
No I haven't nor do I know anyone who has. 77 years and I missed that, so did my wife and family. We may be registered in the wrong party

Good luck with the storm. I feel for you. A few years ago, we had a major ice storm. My house was literally the last house in the county to get power back. It was out for 21 days. My business did get power back fairly quickly though.Update on ice weather. First 2 pictures is of my poor little tree and neighbors tree. Last picture is of wife's yellow rose bush.
