What to Watch Today
- Bridge lifts & horn salutes: listen for the three-long, two-short Ambassador Salute when ships greet the bridge.
- Ship IDs: look for hull color, self-unloader booms, and crane count to tell Lakers from salties.
- Wind & waves: easterlies kick up waves at the canal — dramatic entries & spray.


Good morning all ! Have a good day…😘 cold, brrrrrr
Good morning Stasia 💚
Good morning Tea !….What’s the situation with you?..have a good day..😘
👍
😅
Good morning!
Hello Angelin !!!😀
Hi Stasia
Hello Ardy !
TEA, hope your weather is calming down.
Guess ours is over, gusty winds coming in tonight
as a cold front passes. Will be quite chilly but back
in the 70’s and possibly 80 later in the week.
All aboard the weather roller coaster!
Weather was a bit wild last night.
Happy to say no damage in our area.
Very happy to hear that, TEA!!
Kathy, if you peek in, be safe in these storms.
Your area already had a tornado warning right?
SIL’s workplace, people went into the building’s
basement. Glad schools are closed today here
and there. Happy grandson is home today.
Thank you ❤️ Yes there was a tornado warning but it was North of us near the university campus of the Charlotte 49ers. It’s 1:40 PM now and all watches and warnings have expired for Charlotte. We did get some heavy rain and strong winds but not enough to cause any damage (as best we can tell). I hope you remain safe. I noticed your tornado watch was extended until 8:00 PM.
Good news your storm warnings have expired.
Ours have just started.
Thanks ❤️ Prayers for you to be kept safe 🙏🏻
💗
Hang tight, TEA! Hopefully, the storms rolling through
your area will soon be over.
💗
🙏🏻..Stay safe
💗
Happy to hear it’s much calmer in your area. Know exactly
where you described, beautiful campus.
DH Craig does sports announcing (as his second job) on the collegiate level (a variety of sports from Fall through Spring). His first priority is for the Queens Royals but he also announces for the Charlotte 49ers. We are so proud of Queens Men’s Basketball for winning the Division 1 Atlantic Sun (ASUN) Conference which moved the Royals on to March Madness in their first year of eligibility. Four years ago they were still Division 2.
That’s wonderful for the school! Cool what your hubby does!
👍
Be safe Angelin. 🙏
Good morning everyone ! Have a nice week ! 🧡🧡
Good morning Stasia💚
Hope you are feeling better. 🤗
Hello Tea ! Today I’ fine, still coughing…Have a good day ! And how do you feel?
Good morning, Stasia. Sorry to hear you are feeling yucky.
Continued improvement wishes for you!
Thank you Angie !💕
Doing okay 👍
Super//🤗
Like the pattern! Still haven’t been able to find a rose
tea cup, only big mugs with silly sayings. :)
But we needed extra forks so did find a good set of those
at a thrift. Are you the same, always losing forks? They must
join the lost socks somewhere. 😀
i don’t lose my forks😅
You are a responsible fork owner, Stasia. 😊
😄
Me either but i do lose Ricks socks…..lol
Hi Ardy !😅
I have never lost a fork….have one I use from over 60 years ago. 😉
TEA, that’s impressive. 😀
That ice is not even moving.
🙄
Good morning Ardyth 😊
Sure looks cold.
Goodness, winter will not let go.
Good morning Angelin💚
Have a good day. ♥
Good morning, TEA! We are having bad weather today.
Storms with heavy rains and high winds. Tornadoes
are possible so the weather alert radio is in case we
lose power we’ll know what’s happening.
The bad storms will reach us later today into the evening.
Be safe……..Take care ♥
These storms are covering a lot of land mass, right?
Stay alert, my friend. Update: Wow, just saw 60 million
folks on alert with these storms!
😧
Good morning everyone 😊
Canal is full of strange shaped ice shapes.
Have a beautiful Sunday.
🥰
Good morning TEA 😊
Wishing you a blessed and beautiful Sunday 😇
Thank you Kathy 😘
