Only satisfaction may be seeing all the hot-air politicians being stuck in DC and get a full dose of how wonderfully their big Gov’t. programs work with 30” of snow. HeHe...<<<

Please keep it there and do not send to me.

I have rain and it is about cold enough already tonight.

LOL, I thought that I could twist it to show that God did it on the superbowl weekend to stamp out the hours spent in front of the tv on Sunday, LOL, then remembered that if he sent the snow, he must have meant you to stay indoors and be warm, with the tv.

LOL, nope I am not a sports fan.

Stay warm and be safe.

LOL, we are doing a pretty good job of keeping it here... 27” here - beat the 22.5” record set in 1922. Plus, temperature now at 9:23 am is only 18, up from the 15 degrees overnight.

Wife is camped out at work in the hospital (took her grab bag, sleeping bag and necessities for a week), son-in-law has been at work since Friday (National Guard Emergency Center Coordinator) They have been really really busy - having to send deuce and a half trucks out in teams of 2 or 3 as even they are getting stuck trying to get through some bad drifts as they ferry people to shelters and break trails for fire and ambulance trucks and electric coop repair crews. (power was off for up to 70,000 homes at one point - but now down to about 4,500 homes)

Looks like we are going to get some (1/4-1/2”)icing for our snow cake tomorrow afternoon, changing to snow again as two low pressure areas converge over our area. So far, they are only calling for about 6” more snow, but they caution that that may be revised upward if they track just a few miles further South (North of us they are calling for additional accumulations of 12-18”).

Our road did get plowed yesterday, and with the help of a neighbor and his articulated 4WD dual wheeled tractor with a huge blade, driveway is open and I have been out to take one neighbor to the drug store. (It was just a bit much for my Jeep without that tractor help - 4’ drifts of heavy snow - higher than the hood)

But, all is well, supplies abundant and have not had to go to secondary resources.

So, good day to go through seeds and line them up - see if there is anything new in the catalogs that I want to try and think of nice warm weather in the garden. (Hmmm, wonder if I will have to plow the snow off the garden to plant this spring..... Maybe I will have to order some Siberian garden seeds) Any suggestions?
