...Another snowy day...

I'm looking at the weather on TV right now.  Uuggghhhh.  I see Haywood, VA wherever that is got 14 inches!  Thank God we saw nothing Up here.

 

cheer up Peter.  Opening Day is 2 weeks away.  And from there, another 3 short weeks til York!

The last "round" missed us in central Indiana where we got our record amount of snow for a winter season this year.

chck this out from central Ohio.

my brothers place a few years ago.

my nephew was not happy he had to shovel

 

 

It really is a blast. Things couldn't be better! Watching the snow through the glaas door as I st under the layout......and wiring up Atlas swithces to AIU3 with Man's Best Friend at my side.

 

 

 

 

BTW....the daisy chain for the commons on the AIU was Gilly@N&W's idea. (I'm not that creative)......and, sorry Max, for the lop-sided picture.

I'll be back in the attic this afternoon. Need to tweak power feeds to the track laid on Saturday. I'll get pictures and post, but the trackwork in the unfinished side of the attic is about 90%.

 

Making progress.

 

Great pic of Max!!!

Ya another 6" here and it is still snowing in Edgemere MD. Just glad I'm home and UPS did make it through this time and dropped off 4 large Lionel boxes about a hour ago while everyone was sleeping. My youngest daughter said to me "you know what mom is going to say when she sees them" referring to the massive pile of 13 Lionel auto carriers. Well I at least got them out of sight before the wife woke up.

 

Here's a better picture.....it looks like I'm working for the IRT....

Sounds like it's great weather to work on the layout. (LOL)

Right now in West Jordan, Utah, it's 57 degrees and the snow has been gone for some time.  We're looking forward to spring planting.  This is Union Pacific country.

 

Why anyone would want to live east of the Rocky Mountains is beyond me.

We received another 4 inches in South Jersey.  We are closing in on our snowiest winter record of 70+ inches.  Its always fun to run trains but I wish my Legacy control system would arrive so I could really have some fun.

Vern,

It's green most of the year, the air is easy to breathe and we have plenty of good  water.

Very well.

snow plenty here we will be closing down ski area sunday, still have about 5ft base,one of the coldest, storm filled season in my career......bring on the heat.

All well and good.  But let's face it, here's the real reason...

Good enought for me!  Any meat lovers? 

Meat?  MEAT????    What's meat pizza?  As far as I'me concerned there's only 3 kinds of pizza....plain, sausage and pepperoni.  They come in regular and square varieties!

 

Anything else is an ABOMINATION!!!   

K Chris,  But what about meat lover's pizza that has sausage AND pepperoni?   

 

Vern

 

Not to be sacrilegious ..... but this IS America, so ..... how about cooked bacon pieces on top of the pepperoni and/or sausage?

 

My local pizza joint makes it, and I love it! And, it has been approved by my Aunt ... Mamma Altobelli!

 

(I think you could put bacon on anything and it would taste better! Lol.)

 

 

Ok.  Maybe Sausage & Pepperoni but bacon.......never.  Might as well go for broccoli! <G>

Come north and I will show some real snow accumulation. This year it will probably be mid-May before it is all gone.

Scrapple on that pizza please.

That's nothing. Ya gotta do my cardiologists nightmare - the meat lovers deluxe. Meatballs, sausage, pepperoni, ham, bacon  or pancetta. Oh and extra cheese too!

Now THAT, Dave, is a "little slice of happiness!"  

home made, fresh out of the oven. 

 

as for the weather, here is what my car thinks

 

Now that's a pizza...no broccoli, no meatballs no bacon, no ham!!!!!!!!!

Only snow I have seen this year was on a work trip up to the North of Scotland. 

 Down South here all it has done this winter is rain! Lots of rain....it's only just stopped the last couple of weeks. I'd forgotten what the sun looked like.

 

I have found that I have got loads done on our Lionel/LCCA modular layout this winter.

10 modules woodwork complete. Fitting hardware on 6 left to do and some legs to finish.

 

Pizza, there is only Seafood! Tuna, prawns, onion, sweetcorn on a margarita base.
