Omg be safe, hopefully the water gets as smooth as glass soon.

Thanks, this is the worst we ever experienced!  The tilting the ship is doing is crazy😳

We are having s cool, cloudy, and windy day but the ship is quite steady. I'd like to feel some movement.

[HBE4]

I have about 5-6 inches of snow but with the winds blowing all of the snow off roofs & trees, it feels like it should be more.  And it's -11 degrees with wind chill. Might wait until tomorrow fire up the snow blower.

 

According to the local weatherman, 15 miles to the east is blizzard conditions, whiteouts and up to 18 inches while 15 miles to the west it's barely a dusting, maybe 1-2 inches.  So I consider myself lucky to be just "grazed" by the storm.

I didn’t notice the white caps until you mentioned how rough it is.  It looks like they would rock you.  But as I sit here on my non rocking coach I miss the cruise balcony.  I love the view.

Now that is real noticeable!  The swells are getting big.

The vet now thinks something got lodged in there, which is causing the swelling.

This weekend, we continue our “pre cruise hunker” and not going anywhere exciting (sigh).  Our goal is to get all packed up, since we depart for Ft Lauderdale Saturday.  Can’t wait to step onboard Odyssey.  I know all ya’ll say it’s cold down there, but it’s better than this…

It seems like we always have a rocking ship whenever we sail up or down the coast.  Don’t know if that is normal, but we have had it sailing both the east coast and the west coast.  Maybe it has just been our luck.

 

Hope it smooths out for you soon.

[aussielozzie18]

All the best to those of you battling snowstorms and I hope none of you lose power.

I love rough seas but I hope they calm soon for you @DaniDanielle

Is it unusual for you to see wolves so close to your property @Sea Dog? Three is a worry.  
We have heated seats in our Subaru. Only time they were used were the day we brought it home from the showroom when the kids were curious.  Cooling seats would be neat though.

😳That looks a bit rough for my taste. Where are you? Off the coast of North Carolina, Virginia?

So my Daughter is running around Los Angeles, staying In a Hotel room with her friends who she doesn’t live with. She’s there to see 3 concerts, Which has sold out. I am not worried for her because she’s healthy and she’s had all of her shots plus her booster.

Me I have two different types of Auto immune disorders.

 

I’ve got my cruise on March 6, so I’m currently building her an isolation room.

I have not had a vacation in five years and seeing Harry styles in concert is not a vacation.

she going to be surprise when I meet her at the door with a mask on And direct her to sanitize 

Sure knows that I’m going to Covid test her .

 

I’m going on the cruise.

My daughter is currently in isolation and just bought tickets to Harry Styles and Elton John at Wembley.  It’s a nostalgia thing for her as it’s been 10 years since she first saw HS in concert.  She knows there is a chance the trip won’t happen and selling her tickets won’t be an issue if it doesn’t. She invited me along but it’s too soon for me to consider overseas travel atm.  Hope you stay well for your cruise.

Still snowing and blowing here. Here is what I posted earlier, two hours later and now. 

 

 

 

Where the stone wall is now almost buried, four rails from the street, is about a 3 foot tall stone wall. Lots of deep drifts.

Is there an Animal Control Center that you can call for advice ?

 

Good idea.

We've had them off and on for years. Recently there must be a new litter born. We can hear them yelping and howling at night. The wooded area back behind us is a hill full of rock formations. A easy place for them to build a den.

Beautiful but worrisome if you need to get out. Sounds like a good day to make your chili.

More snow and the winds stay Up, you will have some big snow drifts.  Wind was very strong here yesterday.  Knocked out Kenzie’s electric for awhile.  Good it’s hitting on the weekend.

Stopped snowing between 2 and 3 pm in my area.    We have snow blowed our driveway and our neighbor that cat sits for us.     She brought out a thermos of spiked hot chocolate for us as we shoveled her front porch, etc.    Yummy!     

Wind has been howling around all day but seems to have slowed down in the last hour.   

We definitely had some snow drifts.    I had shoveled our back patio and 2 hours later it was all covered again and big snow drift at the back door.    

It does look pretty but I hope we are done with it.    

I am making/simmering a pot of homemade Chilli and will make some fish tacos for dinner.     Eric loves Chilli but his stomach usually doesn't.    I am going to mahi mahi tacos that hopefully he will enjoy as much as I will enjoy the Chilli.   

How is everyone else in storm area doing?

Not worrisome because you simply relent to the fact that you can't get out.

Today was one of those where an enclosed solarium would have been nice. The wind and clouds made it cold. It wasn't bad when the sun broke though but that was not frequent and it was short lived. Just got to the cabin and had to turn the temp up. Tomorrow is going to be a shocker. 😯

 

If I were retired I would be down at Next Cruise finding a cabin for next week.😐

@Ocean BoyMike will be in the D lounge at 6:00 for a drink. He will leave the card with Christian if he doesn’t see you there.
