I am envious,,I miss a good snowstorm. But I best get out now and pick my flowers and kumquats before it is time for julips on the porch with the fan on ,,,then some gumbo.
Know the area well. In fact I was just there today. My son has tutoring down at the Learning Center there near the Bickford's (Rte 2A). I also go there every now and then for my walks. I like hiking in the woods and ponds around there.
I remember pulling my small daughter on a sled,a block and 1/2 to buy milk (let me tell you,the wind off Lake Michigan made it almost impossible to walk and even a mink didn't stop the bone numbing cold!),since the milk man (yes,we got milk delivered back then,and eggs too)couldn't get through. Even the private schools (she went to Latin)closed;which was unheard of.
The media is actually making a big deal out of nothing. This same storm whipped through NE Montana two days ago. Montana is in "fly over country" and so even if I had to shovel ten feet of snow, you wouldn't hear about it, because the MSM don't give a damn about us in the red states.
We're supposed to get 30...count yourself lucky.
There's a place to go horseback riding up that rode. Actually not too bad.
Never shovel snow DURING the storm. :)
It's really cold here--I was just outside, 66 degrees. I had to bundle up to brave the cold. Brrrrrrrrr...
I lived on the South Side and had to go to work at U.S. Steel. Took the bus and it took me hours to get to work when normally it was a thirty minute ride. We stayed at the mill for 24 hours working. One guy was there for 40 hours straight.
Oh, how I miss good gumbo. It would be the perfect thing to put your body around after coming in on a blustery winter night.
You sound like my mom! LOL
Great, and I bet you're just happy to send it up the Turnpike. lol
"He referred to it as a snow hurricane..."
YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!!!
Not a snow tsunami???
LOL. Just saving you some grief. ;)
Guess everyone remembers the blizzard of Feb 1996 when we got 3 feet of snow here in the Philly area.
So we're stuck in the hotel room all weekend. I'm from Chicago, and things were better there this weekend.
NYC is going to get socked!!
Stay warm and safe, Chick.
I shoveled out the front door and a little walkway so Sophie could go out to pee. For some reason she hates rain but loves snow. That's all the shoveling I am doing today. My efforts at laying down across my bed and watching as much garbage on MTV and BET continues.
It's caused by a phenomenon called "Global Freezing Your A$$ Off" ;D
