Greetings, Good Morn, etc. etc. Everyone!!!!

Been tarnation cold here the past couple of days. I neither go out (but to feed the birds) nor let my outdoor pusses outside when it's this bad. -35 windchill is NOT my cup of tea.

And speaking of pusses....

So sorry to read of the cat food shortages! The pet stores in the city are well-stocked, and even the grocery stores here. (I've never used Chewy before.)

Have you tried ordering some food from Amazon, maybe?

Wishing everyone a warm, lovely day!

@RosemaryF433825 , Amazon is looking at shipping one - two weeks out and last I looked, a variety pack of Shreds was $40! Double the price! No thank you.

Anyway, picked up my 2 variety packs of Shreds (40-count) from Walmart and Chewy alerted me to my order arriving tomorrow, minus the Fish-a-Licious again with another discount on next order. So that means I will have another Shreds pack. 120 cans should last me a month until my next autoship.

You're lucky you are not seeing a shortage, Rosemary. Much of the rest of the country is not so lucky.

I would SERIOUSLY be glad to check my stores in the city for you, and send you some of what you need, MsStretch! Remember, I'm a cat mother, too. 😺😸😽

Thanks so much for the offer, @RosemaryF433825 , but I am sitting on 3 40-packs right now. Chewy came through on the Shreds and I was able to score a couple more right after Walmart got a shipment in. Whew! 😮‍💨 It's a cat-eat-cat(food) world out there.

BTW, @Frozenoem , there is a TractorSupply store about 15 miles from here and my neighbor (and co-caretaker of the shed kitties + 2 of her own) did order from them. UPS has got to be hating us -- between all the heavy boxes of Chewy, TractorSupply, and Walmart orders of cat food getting delivered. 😁

Hope everyone north of me -- @catwoman500 , @Frozenoem -- is hunkered down and warm. The 'BIG snowstorm' 🌨️ just clipped us on its sweep to the north. I'm currently looking at only about 1". PA and ME expected to see significantly more with MA getting hammered in full blizzard mode!

@MsStretch

Relatively hunkered down may need to bring in more wood, snow pants at the ready, etc and airing up the wood cart.

For your feral food dilemma try tractor supply dot com, prices there are still normal🤔. I passed piles when I picked up new tires at store last week. It’s also on website. Fishalcious and Shreds.

Looks like coast will be hammered 24-28” , here only 12-15”, camp further north 4-8”. Or by Maine standards a total 💩shoot on snow totals.

Checked my bleeder valve in bsmt for just in case of power outage to keep from freezing pipes. Battery charger is charging for cell phones, etc,

Just need to pry garage door open, it froze shut at -35* the other night and town plows will plow me out or in.

Enjoy

Mass made it official on highway, from niece.

Checking to see if all those in the path of the blizzard are OK and have power. We do not have snow just extreme cold. No post from @catwoman500 yet I hope she has power.

There is a shortage of pet food here too and I have had to switch brands but it is better than it was. My Chewy delivery has been delayed a few times but they are pretty reliable.

We still have about a 10" snow deficit for our winter here so far. We definitely have had our share of subzero temperatures and major windchills.

Only expecting normal winter temperatures and small chances of light snow for the next 10 days.

For those in the teeth of the winds and snow. Stay home, be safe and stay well.

Us here too, Dave...but then I live in Iowa, so I think our weather has been pretty much the same this winter so far. Yep, subzero temps keep me at home and indoors...but to race out and fill my bird feeders.

I feel for all in the path of the blizzards! Ditto on staying home, warm, and safe from me too.

Anybody else playing Wordle? New game sweeping the 'net. No app. Play in your browser. You get 6 tries to guess a five-letter word. New word every day. Got my best day ever. Took me only 2 tries.

@MsStretch ...I'm loving Wordle! It makes me feel smart. I've done it for a couple of weeks now, and only once did I get it in 2 tries! But it has never taken me 5 tries. I average 3-4 tries. I like when it says, "impressive" or "Splendid!" Just wish you could play it more than once a day, but I guess that is the point...to entice you to keep coming back. 😻

@catwoman500 , I average 3 - 5 tries, most being 5 (by 1). It's taken me all 6 tries twice, but *knocking on wood* I haven't NOT gotten it yet. 19 day streak. 🤞

MORNING ROLL CALL FEBUARY 2022.

Good morning everyone on this Tuesday morning February, 2022.

Good morning to all of you out there on this first Tuesday of February 2022. We are expecting a sunny day with a high of 40* today. Mary is already out for her morning walk. It is forecasted that many of you are facing another wind and snow blitz in the days ahead. Yet those of us here in Southern Wisconsin are facing a snow deficit of about 10".

Stay safe and stay well.

Wednesday morning heat wave time may hit 30-40* today and tomorrow. Snow deficit on Maine Mountains which takes down our water table come the Spring thaw.

Hoping for 9-12” Thursday PM to Friday PM, not fhe greatest but, I’ll take it. Did my blood draw of morning, and finished shoveling out the front door👍.

Hello, Porch Peeps,

Well, Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow up on Gobbler’s Knob this morning, so apparently, we’ll be having 6 more weeks of winter here. Seems he sees his shadow 85% of the time with all the darn TV lights, so…go figure.

We’re in for a warm up with rain coming. This morning we had increasing fog, and it was a bit tricky as the cold and the fog didn’t mix well in the early hours, and we had “freezing fog.” Stepson said there was a little dicey patch on the PA turnpike as he was on his way here.

@MsStretch …glad you have yourselves a name for your team now. Do you like the name Commanders? When they had the short list on TV a while ago, I kind of liked the sound of that one.

Yesterday it took me all 6 tries in Wordle...worst I've ever done. It was that darn _ight...too many choices for first letter! 😾

@Frozenoem ...your 12" of snow may not be enough for you, but some of us don't even like 2" LOL 😬

@catwoman500 , not sure how I like it, but Commanders it is. I am sure it will grow on everyone -- no choice!

Took me 5 tries to get Wordle today.

Same thing as yesterday -- too many choices for the first 4 letters and I kept picking the wrong one. 😒 (The 'share" graphic they use doesn't seem to translate in a very orderly manner in this forum.)

Rainy, gloomy day, but it is almost in the 50s! 🌧️

Saturday 9* think Thursday’s storm has ended👍.

Plow has been down driveway three times in 2 days, might go out it’s only -5* with wind. Needed to start fire this AM, which in well insulated house means had to open front door.🤣

Looks like a normal Winter suddenly on powder snow Totals. Gonna be interesting shoveling out front door.

No white stuff here, just cold nights. Cold enough for extra heavy coat & mittens in the mornings.

I have to have urinary care cat food for Ellie and that is hard to find. Bought a bag from Walmart, Purina One, quiteexpensive and it has mold spots! Chewy sent a bag by mistake, happens to be urinary care and boy am I grateful. I do not like trips to Walmart, especially on the weekends.

Morning Monday 5* and cloudy with 5-7” of snow coming today, guess that keeps rain off table.👍

Tried “wordles” my brain said stick with crosswords, just easier.Covid is down in Maine👍 Might get my surgery this year,trying to get li-ion batteries in my chest, dizziness may mean need for pacemaker.

For joyful picture of the good old days prior to my become a twinkle found this 30’s vintage photo of the school bus , for Maine snows on backcountry roads.

Will be in & out, going stir crazy here.
