    Has anyone heard from Candy lately? I'm curious how her latest building project is coming along.

    Candy ... if you read this, blow some bubbles so we know you are still swimming around under there! :D

    Ah, the beauty of Norman Rockwell, saith he from South Mississippi where the high temp touched 70 today.

    My deepest sympathies, Dear Lady. But a lovely New England Spring will be forthcoming in a few months, so take heart with a glowing hearth and ample adult libation. :tb-wink:

    That looks familiar. Pretty much like a normal winter here! Where it's below zero right now.... And might not get above during the day tomorrow. It's indoor hobby season! Except for the folks who like to ski, and ice fish, and....

    That is one of the reasons I left Northern Michigan. Don't miss it.

    Yeah, looks like the great outdoors around our neck of the woods, too. I had to take a snow day a couple of weeks back, so I worked on some modeling.

    The trouble is, it's never getting warm. So what comes down, stays around. We're walking through canyons of snow here in Massachusetts.

    That looks like what we had here a couple of years ago. The snow pile pushed up by the snow cleaner at the end of the driveway was over 20 feet high.

    Then there was the big blizzard of March 4-5th 1971. It took two days before the plows even got into our neighborhood. No school for a week either!

    Courage, Candy.

    Enough of this doom and gloom. Here's my "shut-in modeling" project.

    It's the DPM "M.T. Arms Hotel" kit. I decided to go a bit radical with the polished black granite look. The other two walls are plain brickface.

    If it helps, it's -11F at outside my office right now and they say tonight it might drop to -18F. Wind Chill is around -32F; and no, this is not normal for Denver!!!

    Hopefully it will warm up a bit before the weekend. I am flying in to Denver on Friday. Guess I will just have to pack some extra long johns.

    Candy, good luck digging out from this next blast of winter.

    Weekend weather looks to be more normal 40's/20's; this bitter cold should be gone by Wednesday...

    We're in the same stuff. I just got off the roads - or snow-paths at this point. Nasty conditions.

    People seem to be turning into "complete MORONS" all over the world for some mysterious reason (lol). I think the snow & cold just aggravates the condition.

    We're having blizzard conditions here in the flatlands, but the good news.......it's February.

    I love the cold, but not the snow so much. I have to admit I am looking forward to getting a ton of snow here tomorrow. For some strange reason I just love blizzards that shut everything down for a couple days. :pwink:

    Makes us take a break from the rat race for a while. I feel sorry for those that have to be out in it like police/fire/emergency people, and hope everyone gets home safely tonight and tomorrow. And no, I don't get the day off when there is a snow emergency - I work from home and it will be like being under Niagara Falls for me if most people I work with can't make it in to the office - I'll be doing lot of juggling to cover for them!:prolleyes:

    Bite thy tongue, sir! We're looking at subzero lows later this week- which, for Oklahoma, is just too dang cold. And we just got hit with 10-15" of snow with drifts & fierce north winds. It's definitely winter here in the Sooner State.
