Yes.  It was chilly as demonstrated by my sister's "sitting on the deck" attire.  But who cares when you have a view like this from your living room.

Don't you think the ocean is really close to the house?

Almost a little tooo close.



There were actually nine of us...but D left before the photo.

Here's hoping a mental health weekend is in your not-too distant future.

I have little faith in the ability of humans to predict the weather. After all it is one of the only jobs you can have and be wrong 85 percent of the time and still be employed. That being said when weather forecasters start using words like "100 percent likely" "absolute" and "without a doubt" panic starts to set in.

In case you haven't heard the eastern portion of the U.S. is gonna get dumped on. BIG TIME. It's never a good sign when they start calling for snow in feet instead of inches. That being said is it really necessary to rush out for milk, eggs and bread.

Wouldn't it be better to have pizza and beer? After all it is Super Bowl weekend.

I was supposed to scrapbook this weekend with a friend but because of the looming blizzard we decided to reschedule. The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation issued a travel advisory asking that all unnecessary trips be postponed and said that if you must go to be sure to bring an emergency survival kit.

The kit wouldn't fit in the car with all my scrapbook stuff.

Figures.

That being said, I think I am staying put for the entire weekend and hope and pray that wherever you are this weekend, you manage to stay safe and warm.
