Ugh is right. We have only had one instance where we got snow of 21” and that was in the early 1980s. It appears that this storm will be East and South of us. Praise Be!

Can’t complain-it’s been pretty moderate for Missouri. Heating bill is 30% under last year’s Jan. use. Still, the older I get, the colder I get, and the more my bones ache in the winter.

Have been experiencing quite a lot of hip pain the last 2 days, so am going to have to avoid laying on that side for a while-that usually helps to clear it up. Might need to get a new mattress - have been thinking that might help.

Just got in from a quick trip outside. The lawn tractor is under a shed roof & the snow is blowing so bad, that it was getting under the roof and several inches deep on the tractor already. I got my last tarp from the garden & got as much snow off the tractor as I could, then covered it & tried to weigh down the edges so it won’t blow off .... fingers crossed.

I think there is sleet mixed in with the snow. I’d say we have 4-6 inches on the ground already. I have knee high boots with neoprene tops from Southern States .... big splurge at the time I bought them, but I am really glad to have them now.

Hope your hip feels better ... cold doesn’t help anyone’s “older” bones either (mine included).
