  Make sure you let your peeps know where to find you!  

If you are new to the Moose, Kysen left a Moose Welcome Mat (Part Deux) so, please, wipe your feet before you walk in the front door start posting.

The important stuff to get you started:

– Comments do not Auto-refresh. Click the refresh/reload on your tab to see new ones.

– To check for replies to your comments, click the “My Comments” link in the right-hand column (or go to “My Moose”). Comments will be listed and a link to Recent Replies will be shown. (Note: Tending comments builds community)

– Ratings: Fierce means Thumbs Up, Fail means Thumbs Down, Meh means one of three things: I am unFailing you but I can’t Fierce you, I am unFiercing after a mistaken Fierce, or Meh. Just Meh.

– If you Fail someone accidentally, it is no big deal. Meesely Mentor Chris Blask on “mojo”:

“The Moose doesn’t do “mojo” in a standard fashion. Credit is earned on a more amorphous social basis than traditional blogoprofiling – more like real life.”

(Some other commenting/posting/tending notes for newbies can be found in this past check-in and, of course, consult Meese Mehta for all your questions on meesely decorum.)

Here is a great link to have open in a tab: Motley Moose Recent Comments

    getting ready to head to school in about an hour and a half.  Thankfully no snow today, and I don’t work tomorrow, so whatever this latest storm brings won’t affect me, but my husband will probably have an ugly commute back up from NYC on Friday.

    They do a better job of clearing the roads up here than they do in the city. Biggest problem on winding hilly roads is black ice.

    Everyone inn the path of the storm – stay safe and take normal precautions..

    I enjoyed weatherdudes’s diary on the subject.

    Our unnamed winter snow has begun. Winter storm warning is up. They are saying(teasing) in the next 24 hours will will get 10-12 inches. I will believe it when I shovel it. Just in case they are right, I stocked up on everything yesterday. I even have a leftover piece of virtual birthday cake. Someone nicked all the leftover bubbly last night.  😉

    in a bit. I don’t teach on Fridays, and I plan to stay home tomorrow. We may not get much snow, but I do not want to get stuck in my lab.

    27 degrees here in NYC and am heading off to acupuncture before my day begins. Can’t believe it is colder here than in Madison WI !!!

  7. iriti

    27 here in the Shenandoah Valley, heading for 37. No snow for us, we’re sending it all north because we’re generous that way!

    Today is my Friday; I have tomorrow off for another batch of evaluations and my final meeting to get my results. I can haz dental surgery instead? No? Sigh.

    G’mornin’ ev’ybuddy. Here’s the latest from the JG in MD news service, which is all about moi.

    At the thrift store…

    I found an L.L. Bean raincoat. 35 years without a raincoat is too long. The moist years are finally over.

    A long black rayon house dress with nicely spaced white zebras on it rests in my closet. The cats have been warned: Hair up my zebras and you are in trouble.

    Another Possible Perfect Purse was acquired. Field trials are under way.

    There are a lot of big boomers to our west but it looks like most of them will miss us as those storms are heading more north than east.  Am at my laundry day breakfast place and will be heading out to get that done shortly.  Stay storm safe.

    All that stuff I said I was gonna do yesterday.  I didn’t do any of it.  We made an impromptu trip to the museum of science and industry in Chicago.  And we didn’t know it but it was free day for Illinois residents.  Saved about fifty five bucks there.  The kids had a ball and my house stayed clean cause we weren’t here to mess it up!  So today:  ballet for my daughter, chicken roasting, bread making later.  Knitting whenever I can.  Have a great day.

    thinking about what I need to get at the market before the STORM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hits and we are buried under 3 FEET PLUS OF SNOW  Now have I made scary enough sounding ? 🙂

    and now we have two new windows. The weather will be too windy for a couple of days to open up big holes in the walls, no more windows until next week. Today we’re going to town to pick up supplies and I’ll get started on finishing the  two that’ve been installed. The windows are wood with metal cladding on the outside so all that has to be finished is the interior and that’s something I can do. I don’t get in on the construction for a lot of reasons but the biggest one is that I don’t see well enough to be safe. Mr w wouldn’t be able to get anything done for watching out for me. Instead I stay busy fixing meals for everyone, workers are so inspired when they smell dinner cooking!

    just dropped off my daughter at the school bus, side roads and sidewalks are iced over and very treacherous. and oh goody, it all turns to snow later this afternoon. a day all Chicagoans will suddenly forget how to drive.

    stay safe and warm everyone!

    It’s a cloudy 59* degrees here in Fort Worth with a high expected to be 75*!

    Hope everyone has the best day that is possible.

  17. LeftOverFlowerChild

    Warm albeit cloudy day here, at least for a little while longer. Temps near 80 and then we cool down to more seasonal weather. I’m hoping for rain in my part of North Texas, the mountain cedar pollen is heavy and I’m miserable. Claritin D is not working, so that means a trip to the doctor’s office for a shot.

    Don’t feel like doing a darn thing today, just want to sleep and veg…Seriously considering breaking into that Netflix series House of Cards. I’ve seen the British version and the reviews for the new version have been pretty decent. Eh, I don’t know just may call the whole day a loss and go back to bed. Allergies oh so fun.

    Greetings from the mile high city. It was 54 in Denver yesterday and we’ll be in the mid-50s today and tomorrow. Then snow Sat. and Sun. Not much, I think. I heart Denver weather. Good vibes to all those folk who will have to endure nasty conditions in the next couple of days!

  19. slksfca

    Looks like we might get some rain today, first time in a few weeks. No complaints from me, as I’m more bothered by cold than wet – and we’ll reach the mid-50s this afternoon.

    Thanks again for the birthday wishes, folks!

    And another moment of frustration from reading the morning newspapers……NW media mogul buys Everett paper and enters coastal oil debate

    Canadian newspaper mogul David Black today added the 111-year-old Everett Herald to his 39-newspaper Washington group, having recently also bought Seattle Weekly.  In an interesting twist, Black has also become a major player in one of the Northwest’s big energy stories. He’s the pitchman for building a $13 billion refinery in Kitimat, B.C., assuming that it’s possible to build a pipeline from the Alberta oil sands, across B.C. wilderness, to the small port up the B.C. coast.

    It’s 30 degrees in North Central Maryland so it could go either way.

    It seems warm compared to the previous 2 weeks where 17 was the average temperature.

    We don’t do snow in Maryland very well. If it just dusts things people freak out.

    Occasionally like the last 2 years we have a lot by this native New Yorkers standards and then the whole place just shuts down.

    They just keep driving the speed limit and then we have the inevitable accidents. Black ice is the pits!

  22. ILS 27L

    It’s a balmy 72 here in The DF and W metroplex. I would say I feel bad sayin that but when I lived in New England I discovered that they got roads that go south from there. I strapped a snow shovel to the hood of my car and drove south until somebody asked what that thing was. I took the shovel off the hood and found a place to live.

    Y’all stay warm…….

    Mmmoooo
