Mitch
Hey @M. Mitchell Marmel, Mickie Mantle mailed me TWO and they just arrived! Normally, I thumb through it and look at every photo, but then I get less joy turning the page every 28-31 days, so I'm going to try really hard to take this year one month at a time.
It's a shame that an O-Gauge version of that #70 isn't currently circling my layout in celebration. Hopefully A&MRR didn't miss the boat completely and we'll soon see her and her sister #71 in the catalog again.
Mitch and John, I got a kick out of railfanning the Arkansas and Missouri when my in-laws lived in Fort Smith back in the late '80s and early '90s! Looks like a great calendar!!
John, How are you doing in Lansdale weather wise? Here in Butler, we have had only an inch of snow a day, but brutal temperatures and wind! I understand we will be getting a heat wave next week. Bring out the short sleeves and sun block!
Mark,
I'm in Bethlehem (for about 2 years now). We got about 3" of snow Thursday. We got a dusting Christmas Eve. We have not seen temps above 30 since Christmas Eve. We might hit 35 Monday and 48 by the end of next week!
It's been so cold that even after driving on the snow in the driveway for three days, it still just brushes right away. Highs have been in the 10s for several days in a row.
