Good Morning fellow PA friends,

What a messy day we have to look forward to. I got a call at 6:15 this morning saying not to come in on time if I was going to venture out at all. It had iced all night so half our windows you cannot see out of, they are glazed over.

John still went to work, I could not sink it into his head that it was not worth it to go out on those roads. He did make it although it was a mess and there were accidents.

Now I am thinking about the things I am going to do today, maybe a big jigsaw puzzle, maybe organize my cupboard which have gone messy. I am hoping to find a good book to curl up with too. Aww possiblities.

Patti, how's the ice out your way? How far away are you from us?

Hi Angie :D

I'm just seeing this this morning.

We only have an inch or two of snow--but have had freezing rain/sleet since last night. It's still coming down--and I can hear it hitting the house. The roads are bad--ours hasn't been treated yet, although the main ones have.

All our schools and some businesses are closed, although my husband and son went to work.

It's supposed to stop this afternoon.

We're probably 3 hours from you--2 1/2 from Lancaster.

Stay warm, and no walking on the ice for you! :)

Judy, Amanda, zansu (and everyone)--take care!

I'm so glad everyone's safe. You know, the New Yorkers and northerners are probably laughing like crazy reading this thread. :) You would think we got feet of snow! :) It is pretty bad here though. My husband made it up the driveway with the snowblower, but he said it barely cut through with the ice crust being as thick as it is. Our mailbox is gone thanks to the snow plows. I'm just happy we haven't lost power. Our windows are old and crummy, some are only single pane, and we freeze when the power goes out. Heck, we freeze sometimes even when we have power. We have to get around to fixing these windows this summer if we ever want to sell this house.

Wow, Patti, you're pretty close to us then! Where in Jersey are you located? Are you anywhere near Sesame Place? I think that takes us about 2-1/2 hours on the turnpikes.

Amanda, how much snow did we actually get? 6-8 inches??? It looks like quite a lot, especially since it rained all night. I didn't think we'd have much snow left at all after all of that. I certainly was surprised when I took the dog out this morning.

Yea--not too far away! I live just over the Burlington-Bristol bridge in Burlington Twp.

Sesame Place is in Langhorne which is not far at all. Funny thing is, years ago while we still lived in Syracuse (our hometown), we took our boys to Sesame Place! My youngest loved Sesame Street. This was back in the 80's. At the time, I never dreamed I'd end up living here :D

The sleet has all but stopped now--hopefully that's the end of it.

I know what you mean about people in upstate NY and other locations that normally get a lot of snow laughing at us! My dad gets a kick out of our schools closing for a few inches. :lol:

Angie-I am not sure how much we got, it looks like a lot though. I just saw a news update and it says it is going to start snowing again soon, and we could get a few more inches. It looks like rain out there right now but you can hear it hitting the house as ice.

Here in Bucks Cty, we only got an inch or two of snow, but lots of freezing rain all night - through at least 8AM this morning.

School is closed, and this teacher is VERY happy to have a day to regroup!

The students have been so anxious for a snow day - they've been bonkers for weeks!!

It's not doing anything outside now, but it IS windy!!! We have an exterior door in our bedroom that wasn't locked, and this AM a huge gust of wind opened the door and one of the hinges broke!!!

Fortunately, we could pull the door into the door jam and lock it in place.

Looks COLD out there. BRRRRRR.

Enjoy the winter wonderland!

YEA, snow!!!

Patti, you're less than an hour from where I used to race!!! There's a track in Bridgeport, NJ, Bridgeport Speedway. I used to race micros there a few years ago. It's a great little track. Don and I both raced there. That's the only track I ever won at, I even set a record there. I was the first female to ever win a feature on the 1/4 mile track. Don and I were also the only married couple to win features in the same night there. :)

I hope it keeps snowing today. We already have so much of it, we might as well get some more. So long as we don't go over a foot or so of snow, I'm cool.

So John made it home ok, and he brought me flowers. Sweetie! We then started to dig my Sante Fe out, that is a lot of ice and snow and it took us an hour! They are now plowing out our parking lot with a bulldozer but it is a big complex so it is taking some time.

I offered my shovel to a girl who was digging her car out with a small scraper. She said there were many men who shoveled out their cars and didn't even offer to help....rude. This is a time when we should help each other.

Happy Valentines Day from snowy PA!

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
