9 inches so far, snows starting to pick up (Big deal) but my concern is the 4-5 ft drifts were looking at. How the h*ll am I going to get to the wood pile?
Yes, neighbors are great. You can count on them. Near or far, gotta have good neighbors.
Whoa, talk about a memory-jog! I remember a friend in boarding school doing the exact same thing in the fall of 1975. The down was in clear, plastic bags. He'd load the down and sew the chambers shut. We all thought he was nuts but 2 years later they were the-rage and we all had our store-bought ones!
"I sewed it all myself and loaded the down into it from plastic bags."
WOW! I'm pretty sure my brother didn't do THAT! Although, if his mom and grandma had anything to say about it he COULD have done.
They are SO warm, my down coat is still the warmest.
Snowmobilers up in northern MN are having a ball. Lots of new snow, ontop of what we already had. About 8" new yesterday.
"I'm always okay;supply wise"
You sound like me and cigarettes!
"Told my 'grown up' son to either begin to pin things to his clothing as I used to do with mittens or carry a purse."
ROFLMAO!!!! I tell hubby the same thing, if he keeps losing his glasses, etc. he's going to get a "man bag" next Christmas. It doesn't go over well.
Daughter lost her wallet, with driver's license the DAY she had to drive back to school. That was a panic.
Teenagers = Exhausting
We have Pickerel here in freshwater (Maryland)

Maybe that's the problem, fishing in Maryland.
EH?
Freshwater fish taste just fine.
That's EXACTLY what I said!!! 5.5 feet of snow.
"But of course I am no meteorologist, Madam.
(I had to sneak that salutation in somewhere.)"
It's always a good thing to say. Years ago I addressed some woman as "Madam" on the phone, I was doing my financial aid work study make work at college, manning (womanning?) the phone in the U's history dept. So, presumably the woman who phoned was not a complete dope. Nevertheless she said to me "No one's ever called me that before."
I think it was right about then that I gave up.
I have many cartons of cigs in my pantry. :-)
For emergencies like this right?
Do you even have a calculator, nopardons?

Twelve goes into 20 one time,20 - 12 = 8,bring down the 0.Twelve into 80 is 6,12 x 6 =72.Eighty -72 = 8. SIXTEEN FEET,EIGHT INCHES! Go sue your first grade teacher and the school you went to.
