Two schools down... 3 more to go (I'm at Water Survival School right now... awaiting class to start).

I'm thankful my supervisors are letting me go home next week to see my family and to celebrate Christmas (a little late). I'll be home for a week and then off to the 4th school... Flight school at Little Rock AFB.

OMG.... Its Bone-numbing cold!!!!

I'm back home on leave for a week.... Indiana was horrible... I couldn't pump gas without getting blown over.... OR driving off the road when the wind goes blowing over I65 with NOTHING to stop it!

When I got into town ambient temp was +5... I'm not sure exactly what the WC was but it was definitely below zero!

Someone pass me the afghan please and a cup of hot chocolate! Please please please

Hope Elizabeth was born last Friday, at about 9:00 pm. Hey wait a minute-I posted that in antother thread. Anyway, she is a sweet little bundle alright. Everyone is doing fine. We haven't been over to see her much because everyone in this house has been fighting colds. Last week was a blur with the kids being in and out of school.

Thanks for the well wishes everyone.

Winter has reared its ugly head. You know its cold when schools are giving the kids an extra day off of school! The kids got a 'snow' day because wind chills were in excess of -40*F.

It hasn't been this cold in years!

I'm repenting for my last post, dear... :eek:

God Bless You, and stay warm!

Winter is rearing its ugly head here too. Winter Storm Watch posted for the Cincinnati area - Monday into Tuesday. Anything from heavy snow, to sleet to ice, or a mixture will fall. One Dayton, OH Met is predicting 12 to 18 inches!

Going down to 0 or below 0 here tonight too.

January was mild compared to this! Who knew February could be so brutal.....wait don't answer that, we are wx enthusiasts, now aren't we? LOL

Cya all........I'll keep you posted, unless the site is down.

it seems Oswego and other areas are directly in the bulls eye again.

Jim Cantore is actually Category 5. Someone/something got into his account. He's now Category 6.

#254 Postby **pojo** » Sun Feb 11, 2007 11:52 pm

I thought it seemed a little fishy..... different topics kind of hinted me that.

Category 5 · #255 Postby **Category 5** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 8:15 pm

I kinda like Cat 6 better anyway. :wink:

#256 Postby **cycloneye** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 8:18 pm

I changed it back to Cat 5.

breeze · #257 Postby **breeze** » Mon Feb 12, 2007 8:19 pm

Don't worry - I didn't think that the REAL Cantore was a bonfire-setting
kinda guy! LOL! :wink:

Hey, Mary, could 'ya send me just enough to get a "snow-day" from work
and build a good-sized snowman? I'd be much-obliged to 'ya! :lol:

I was swimming in the GOM before I went home on leave... I'm not saying the GOM was warm by any means... water temp was 50*. We were in and out of the water all day long... that help somewhat to acculmate my body to the cold wx... but -40*F on a good day takes a while to get accustom to. I left yesterday and it was a heat wave of +15* (with WC around zero).... now I'm in Little Rock... 50*F today with rain... this is the wx that I prefer!

It is quiet in here... I guess everyone is hiding from the severe wx and/or the snow.

Today we spent 4 hours on the plane today... and we didn't leave the ground! But the training was GREAT! As for the exam yesterday... it was the first test in loadmaster training that I aced.... yup 100%. That felt so good! It was muggy today... severe thunderstorms are expected tonight into tomorrow.
