First Winter Blow-By

I sit anxiously awaiting for the so-called Winter Warning to fly into this farm land area. I am approximately 54 miles (driving) S.W. of Memphis. If I were to draw a straight line from Marianna to Memphis it is more like 25 miles. We are accustomed to having a bought with ice every year in the form of freezing rain or sleet. We may get a flurry every now and then but not enough to make a 5 feet snowman with or nothing to write home about. Last year Sydney and I literally scrapped the ground to get our 18 inch snowman. His eyes were literally bigger than his head. I bought Sydney a snowman kit that included black wooden dowels for the eyes, mouth and buttons, a large orange carrot shaped dowel for the nose, scarf and hat that was all in a tin can. Just maybe one day we can have a good time with a monster snowman and the kit. For now it sits in a linen closet waiting for that day.

To see our weather I had posted links at the bottom of my page yesterday. One link is the Memphis River Walk looking at the Mississippi River. This picture is what you would see as you cross the bridge from Arkansas into Tennessee on the right side of the bridge.It would have been nice if the view was of the Pyramid to the left of the screen. The other is a local news station with live Doppler radar. I have these on my desk-top and have Incorporated them onto the site here. I hope you enjoy them. I enjoy going to look at other sites and seeing theirs.

I sat in the Jacuzzi last night after my shower around midnight. Brrrrrr my hair froze as I sat in 102 degree water drinking from my frosted mug of diet Coke, a hand towel and my robe layed on the table and chair within arms reach. It was a clear cold 17 degree night and I just looked up at the stars in awe. Looking for the Milky Way was difficult with all the steam resembling a volcano's ridge.

I am suppose to work tomorrow but we have a saying, "Subject to change."
We'll see what the night brings.
