Happy 10th Birthday to Christopher today!!!

I got most of his cake made yesterday.
Got it in the freezer filled with ice cream
All I need to do now if frost and put candles on it.

For his birthday supper I decided to make
macaroni and cheese pizza like they have at Ci Ci's Pizza.
Red Barron pizza was on sale at Meijer for $2.99
so picked up 2 four cheese pizzas.
Then got a box of Kraft Delux macaroni and cheese to
put on top of the pizza.
Weird I know but it was pretty good at Ci Ci's.
But hey if the kids like it, it's all good.

Today I stopped in Meijer to get things for
my upcoming cookie baking. I have about 4-5 ideas
so far for the Betty Crocker Cookie Contest.
I don't reveal my recipes til after the contest over.
But I can post photos of what I make.

Christopher's 10TH Birthday








--------------------------------

FORECAST FOR TOMORROW FROM CHANNEL 10's JIM GAHNAL...

CENTRAL OHIO An Alberta Clipper is on track to come through Ohio.

These are consistent compact little storms that always bring gusty winds, especially in the wake of the storm.

I expect us to top out at 30 mph NW winds Friday into the weekend.

Temperatures always go up a bit ahead of them, even at night, then fall afterward—dramatically.

Clippers move quickly, but the effects of this one will exceed 24 hours.

Snow has been falling for 11 straight days in Central Ohio, and with the cold this will be another fluffy snowfall that will allow for considerable blowing and drifting afterward.

Solid 4 inches of snow tomorrow all day, some may areas hit 6 inches. Another inch on Friday coming off the lakes again.

Wind chills will be near -10 by Friday night as lows drop to 0. Record low for today though is -20 here.

Snow starts at the end of the morning rush Thursday morning then tapers to snow showers after midnight. This will put us 2/3s of the way to a normal winter snow season total with about 100 potential snow days left in the winter.
