Well, you've read the notes, the notes spoke of many things, and now it is time for you to post until the sleepy cows come home.

And the word of the day is: DELITESCENT!

Morning all.

That is all.

We got lots of snow but my office is still open so I will be dressing warmly and heading out in a while. Most likely the office will be very quiet.

good morning to all

Now that I finally finished watching Barney Miller and watched a few episodes of Fish (which I know understand why it wasn't a success) I have a bunch of films to catch up on the DVR. Probably will start with That's Entertainment, That's Entertainment, Too, That's Entertainment Part 3 & That's Dancing.

Here I am at the office but I just got word that we're closed. I'll finish up a few things and then head back into the snow.

It's a shame they couldn't have told you before you bundled up and left the house! $:-\$

Thanks for the snow report, DR Ben. Anxious to hear how the storm is impacting our other northeastern DRs. (Excepting DR ryacko - forget about it!

)

good morning I dozed off last night so sorry to have disappeared without goodbyes but starting the day at 3 AM will do that to ya

Congratulations to DR Jeanne on your latest fabulous millstone! Long may you prosper.

(and, by the way - depraved? I'd say you have a long way to go to catch up.

)

The answer to your question from yesterday: no, that beautiful photo was posted on That Other Site by a friend of mine in the Chicago area.

The real temperature for this morning's dog walk was -6, but by the end of the weekend we are expecting wind chills of between 40 and 60 below.

I completely ignored my alarm at 6:30 and again at 7 but di respond to my boss's text message at 7 :15 advising that we were closing the office "for now" and he would let me know if I was needed to come in "later"

So I gave him an update of the day's jobs and Monday's jobs and promised to remote in for my emails so I am pretty sure that no "later" will be necessary

Here is a free download of what purports to be a .pdf file of the Saving Mr. Banks screenplay:

One excused day and then on January 20th the office is closed for MLK Day. Nice month so far.

vixmom · « **Reply #15 on:** January 03, 2014, 05:12:57 AM »

there is snow only a few inches so far but the wind is fierce and due to that I already have drifts of more than a foot against our front door (which is why we keep a shovel in the house we often have to remove the glass and shovel our way out)

the last I heard the snow is supposed to keep coming until this afternoon

ssorry to hear you had late notice of the closing but happy to hear you are closed!

vixmom · « **Reply #18 on:** January 03, 2014, 05:16:33 AM »

we do not close for MLK day ( we don't close for most bank holidays we are open on election day, veterans day presidents day etc)

vixmom · « **Reply #19 on:** January 03, 2014, 05:18:58 AM »

so I am in my comfy fleece jammies on the recliner under a blankie drinking a hot caramel macchiato that may or may not have accidently been contaminated by a generous slosh of Godiva chocolate liquer- who's to say?

singdaw · « **Reply #20 on:** January 03, 2014, 05:19:05 AM »

An important distinction to remember for cold weather (although each has its usefulness):

BALACLAVA: BAKLAVA:

Ben · « **Reply #21 on:** January 03, 2014, 05:19:49 AM »

There is lots of snow in Manhattan. News reports put it at 8-10 inches. I can hear the supers shoveling the walks and plows have come by at least twice. Light snow is still falling and blowing in the wind but it's supposed to stop in a few hours. On Sunday and Monday we will be in the 40s so this beautiful white stuff will be grey, dirty slush by then!

Shing Shing, do you wear that when you walk the dog?

Ben · « **Reply #24 on:** January 03, 2014, 05:21:18 AM »

Vixmom, you made that hot caramel macchiato I assume. You didn't go out to Dunkin' just to buy one, did you?

singdaw · « **Reply #25 on:** January 03, 2014, 05:31:21 AM »

DR Ben - in these temps? I certainly do! (to clarify: the balacalva, not the baklava).

singdaw · « **Reply #26 on:** January 03, 2014, 05:32:52 AM »

And I am sorry that you made the trip to work this morning needlessly.

It used to be a pet peeve of mine, in the corporate world, that they never made that call in time for the travel plans of those who lived furthest away.

Truly enjoyed that Gwen Verdon clip that bk posted last night.

Good morning, all! I slept in for a bit - about an hour, actually - before dragging myself out of bed. I was having a dream about being in California staying at Elaine Stritch's house and in some sort of songwriting competition.

I love snow days in NewYork: the City looks beautiful and it's so quiet, only the occasional sound of a snow shovel scraping on concrete. People and traffic move cautiously, and it's very much as though you've entered a previous century. I expect to hear sleigh bells at any moment.

I need a warmer shirt, which I'll grab in a second, and a second cup of coffee.

Good morning, all.

Glad those in the snowlands have been able to post so far. 40 below is not a cabaret. And not my cup o' tea.

It's 25 here now, which is 5 degrees colder than they said it would be. Seems we have a few more days of that, even though tomorrow it's supposed to hit 68. Weird.
