Mrs.J

Well sent Mr. J out to the store tonight so we have enough food till next Monday now.

Yea I have 5' on you at 305 here.

Yep was going to add that. Chubby's is good.

I would be the last person to ask that question. I am going back and forth with sending my husband out to stock the pantry. I live just W of 270 and S of 15/340 the Ballenger Creek area.

You will be about 20 miles to my North up 15. I suggest getting a decent amount of food, not a lot up there and getting down into Frederick might be tough.

Down to 36 and drizzle here. Never saw any flakes. .98" IMBY

38 but temp is very slowly dropping just while typing this down to 37.8 and solid rain. .90" so far

38 and pouring. Wow that band is just sitting over me.

Coming in here today and breaking up the snow party for just a bit to say the younger Miss J overcame her nerves and took the blue yesterday at her 2nd IEA show. IEA (Interscholastic Equestrian Association) is a group that rewards horsemanship, skills and equitation. You are part of a team and compete individually. The riders get assigned a horse based on their ability. And they get up with no schooling and go in the ring cold. And do not get to use their own tack. Her first show last month she was assigned an Arab who she had trouble with in the canter. The only class she is in is the Walk Trot Canter HS division because she excels at Equitation. She is her teams Ace in the Hole because of her Eq, and she felt horrible that she let them and herself down due to her nerves. Well the horse she pulled yesterday was a forward moving Quarter Pony mare. And she nailed it! Super proud of her for pushing through and proving to herself that she is capable and a darn good rider with the skills to ride anything. Back to your regularly scheduled snow programming.

We got one but the tree farm closed early on Wednesday as they needed to keep stock for next year. There are a few tree farms over in VA and there is a little local garden shop in Brunswick, MD that still has trees. Not sure if they have Frazier Firs or not.

I just checked Carrot and it is showing Heavy snow (9-14") throughout the day. Precip chance 89% for my area.

Ours have been open too. But if there is too much snow on the ground for them to drive in they will close. Which is why our new snow day policy was put in place during the pandemic. It usually is if school buildings are closed but central office is open no school day. Has been changed to if there is snow and the central office does not close due to it online classes will continue. If central office is closed due to snow it will be a snow day and no online classes. And yes they rarely ever close central office, but they had to put this out there so parents will know that a true snow day this school year will only be if central offices closes.

Yea they are gearing up to start Hybrid on Jan 28th here start of second semester. Not an ideal time in my opinion to start up hybrid. But parents get the option to stay 100% virtual and that is the option we chose for our 9th and 11th graders. It will stay that way till the end of 3rd term and we will see where the metrics are over here. Currently all 24 of our jurisdictions are in the red. Defiantly a crazy year. A nice day of snow would mix things up.

I am in Frederick Co MD. We are all virtual. We were told that if the central office is open and there is a snow day online learning will continue. If the central office closes there will be a snow day.

I am making pizza dough

Well after two years of no tree, was in FL last year and young cats the year before, we got a tree to put up. Actually realized I missed having it up. Had a bit of an oh crap moment when 3 out of 8 light strands decided to be 50/50 with working lights. But the tree ended up not being as full as I though my so 5 strands worked just fine. Cats were interested in it last night but it was not decorated. Will have to be on alert tonight with lights and shiny hanging things on it.

I am so sorry to hear this news. As a parent myself my heart hurts for you. Those two small kids will help you through this. I will be keeping you all in my thoughts. *hugs*

I just put together this big pot of veggie soup for dinner. Will add in some pasta before eating but oh it smells and tastes so good.

Anyone on here who puts up even close to what is in this photo, send me directions and will bring the J family by in the family truckster!

Hope everyone had a good day. Mr.J does not care for Turkey and we have not celebrated a traditional Thanksgiving day in years. So this year we had shrimp and grits.

Why the hell are there chicken di*&S on that plate! I would use better sausage than that

OH man what did I miss!

Doing quite well. How are you doing? Not quite ready for the snow here. But it is getting close to that time.

Just took the trash out and it is snowing!
