SNOW!? What in the world is that???

Yesterday, it was 78 degrees F and today 75 degrees and yet tomorrow it is to be 77 degrees. Talk about squashing the Christmas feeling. :( My daffodils are eight inches tall and the cherry, forsythias and dogwoods are budding out. Sheesh.... (makes sme wonder what we are doing to this good earth <_< )

I live just a few hours from Momma Goose and we're having the same weather. *sigh* My plants are trying to sprout up, too. :unsure:

We watched Christmas movies in shorts yesterday afternoon!

I HATE snow!!!!!!!! Too bad that's all I see out my window!!!!!!! School's are all closed, roads nearly impassable... My husband is out in it, he is a service rep so he goes where they call him. This snow-every-three-days thing better quit by next Wednesday, we're flying to Tampa to meet our daughter coming from NYC for Christmas!!!!! If I can't get out of here I'm not going to be too pleased. :angry:

WE have about a foot here! Snowing on and off today. Thankfully next week is supposed to be cold but no snow. I'll be waking up to neg. numbers on sat!

I'm glad we didn't get this massive ice storm...be safe to all who did get it!

We keep having rain/snow ice here every few days....but I must admit the dreary weather is dampening the holiday spirits.

No snow here but lots of rain/ice. They closed schools here too, but I don't know why! :huh: The weathermen all said that the temps will drop and everything will ice over - but that didn't happen. <_< It's "supposed" to snow tonight - which I'd rather see than this ice - but I'll believe it when I see it!

Snow here in Wisconsin, but that's what it's supposed to do! We made a snowman and shoveled the driveway, but you couldn't tell that part!

I live for snow days! I'm a teacher (:

The weather is strange anymore....when I was little it would get cold by the end of October and stay snowy and ugly until April....now it is still fairly warm until Jan. The last few New Years I remember wearing a light sweater.

Glad those who have the snow like it. I'd move in Momma Goose's area in a snap if I could.

Here in NJ (I am in city area, north eastern side of state - 45 minutes away from NYC) snow grinds everything to a halt. There's no where to put it when it's over a foot..every square foot of land here is a building...no empty spaces to dump snow. It creates multitudes of accidents because people here still have to go to work in it ....I only remember once the Governor declared a "snow emergency" after a blizzard in 1996.

Employers expect you to get to work at your normal time after 6 inches of snow....schools have delayed openings and if you have little ones employers in NJ don't realize that you can't leave for work until the school opens and you're kids are in school. That could be 11 AM. I've seen people get in trouble at work for this (a very very large, worldwide bank that prides itself on being good to their employees - PM me privately if you want to know their name). I never worked for a company that declared a "snow day." Jeez, they barely let you go home early if there's several inches of snow on the roads...I have co workers who have a normal half hour drive to go home and the employers wait so long to let you out that one of them took almost 4 hours to get home; the plows couldn't keep up with the rate of snowfall on the Garden State Parkway. I had a 15 minute drive turn into an hour that same day.

Anyway, I and my husband can no longer shovel snow -- so any accumulation is problemic for us....

This weather is starting to worry me. I am supposed to be going to get my mom to spend the weekend with us, now this winter weather tomorrow and again calling for it this weekend might cancel my plans...so disappointing...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get...

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      I was undiagnosed for decades. My ferritin when checked in 2003 was 3. It never went above 10 in the next 20 years. I was just told to "take iron". I finally requested the TTgIgA test in 2023 when I was well and truly done with the chronic fatigue and feeling awful. My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel. they offered me an endoscopic biopsy ...

      Is it gluten?

      Scott, I agree with everything you said except the term "false negative". It should be a "true negative" just plain negative. I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test...

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      I realized it is actually important to get an official diagnosis because then insurance can cover bone density testing and other lab work to see if any further damage has been done because of it. Also, if hospitalized for whatever reason, I have the right to gluten-free food if I am officially celiac. I guess it gives me some legal protections. Plus, I have...

      Scott, I am mostly asymptomatic. I was diagnosed based on high antibodies, low ferritin (3) and low vitamin D (10). I wasn't able to get in for the biopsy until 3 months after the blood test came back. I was supposed to keep eating gluten during this time. Well why would I continue doing something that I know to be harmful for 3 more months to just get this test? So I did quit gluten and had the biopsy. It was negative for celiacs. I continued gluten free with iron supps and my ferritin came back up to a reasonable, but not great level of around 30-35.  Could there be something else going on? Is there any reason why my antibodies would be high (>80) with a negative biopsy? could me intestines have healed that quickly (3 months)?  I'm having a hard time staying gluten free because I am asymptomatic and i'm wondering about that biopsy. I do have the celiacs gene, and all of the antibody tests have always come back high. I recently had them tested again. Still very high. I am gluten free mostly, but not totally. I will occasionally eat something with gluten, but try to keep to a minimum. It's really hard when the immediate consequences are nil.  with high antibodies, the gene, but a negative biopsy (after 3 months strict gluten-free), do i really have celiacs? please say no. lol. i think i know the answer.  Asa

      I have had a long year of testing unfortunately still not diagnosed , although one thing they definitely agree I'm gluten intolerant, the thing for me I have severe back troubles they wouldnt perform the tests and I couldn't have a full MRI because I'm allergic to the solution , we tryed believe me  I tryed lol , another was to have another blood test after consuming gluten but it makes me so bad I tryed it for only a week, and because I have a trapped sciatic nerve when I get bad bowels it sets that off terribly so I just take it on myself now , I eat a gluten free diet , I'm the best I've ever been , and if I slip I know it so for me i have my own diagnosis  and I act accordingly, sometimes it's not so straight forward for some of us , for the first time in years I can plan to go out , and I have been absorbing my food better , running to the toilet has become occasionally now instead of all the time , i hope you find a solution 🤗

My numbers were off the charts on the whole panel.  they offered me an endoscopic biopsy 3 months later, but that i would need to continue eating gluten for it to be accurate. so i quit eating gluten and my intestine had healed by the time i had the biopsy (i'm guessing??). Why else would my TTgIgA be so high if not celiacs? Anyway, your ferritin will rise as your intestine heals and take HEME iron (brand 4 arrows). I took 20mg of this with vitamin c and lactoferrin and my ferritin went up, now sits around 35.  you will feel dramatically better getting your ferritin up, and you can do it orally with the right supplements. I wouldn't get an infusion, you will get as good or better results taking heme iron/vc/lf.

I actually looked up true/false negative/positive as it pertains to testing. The term "false negative" would be correct if you are positive (have anti-bodies) and the test did not pick them up. That would be a problem with the "test" itself. If you were gluten-free and got tested, you more than likely would test "true" negative or just negative. This means that the gluten-free diet is working and no anti-bodies should be present. I know it sounds confusing and if you don't agree feel free to respond.

If I really do have it then they may have increased risk.
