Fine looking boys!
Spring flowers are on the way!
That looks very nice. A nice koi pond would fit in quite nicely.
I lived in the LA area for 26 years, then moved to Tennessee, ou have no idea what represive heat is until you live in the South. But, then I promised that I wouldn't whine about the dampness here anymore after what you all went through a few weeks ago.
My son finally showed up to snowblow us out and he's having a grand old time. The wind's really howling and the snows really blowing but he loves to actually get a chance to use his snowblower! He's off to Grandmas now!
Hot and dry is nice. I lived in China for 7 years so believe me, I know what hot and humid is all about (99 degrees and 100 percent humid).
On the Koi, I have my hands full with the gardening around here.
I tried to go out there and the snow is blowing back in my face *lol*
More birds to pick them off out there too
This was a really good thread.
Thanks for starting it....enjoy your football!
Heck no. I'm not going out there either! My son really seems to be enjoying himself. So am I. Reading the Sunday papers, having coffee and checking FR! Life is good :)
hey you forgot the mailbox!! Gonna shovel that out??
Here in West/central MA we got at least 18 inches, again hard to tell with the drifting and blowing of the snow.
I made my second half hearted attempt, and I think I'm going out much later *lol* I rather sit here drink some coffee and read the news, maybe make fun of Katie Kouric's dress one more time.
late last night, it was clear that the cape and coastal mass, conn, ri, was going to get the worst of it. NYC and most of long island missed the big punch from the coastal low, it stayed south and east before it hooked north. I wonder if that 30" prediction for the cape is going to hold up, I think it is.
yup, there are pockets on the north and south shore that got 30+ inches. the bad news is that it's going to be here for a while. Tonights windchill is expected to be -20 to -30.
This was a fun thread, a joy to see how things were going across the country. Thanks for starting it.
Yep, I remember the '77 Blizzard. It was definitely worse than '78 or '93. At noon at work in Newark, NY we were told a blizzard had hit Rochester and was heading our way at 50 mph. We were told to leave at once, unless we lived more than 15 min. away. I had to stay. The power and heat went off as soon as the blizzard hit. There was zero visibility.
Around 6 p.m. there was slight visibility. A co-worker who lived 1/2 mi. from work took me home with her. After we got in her car there was zero visibility again. It took us nearly an hour to get to her house. To contact my husband, I had to walk to her next door neighbor's to use the phone. Again, I lost visibility part way there. I can see how people can freeze to death in their own front yards. That night the house shook, and somehow it snowed through the walls.
Ever since, when I hear the word "Blizzard," I respect it completely. And Buffalo got it way worse than we did. Many deaths of people trapped inside cars, weren't there?
Lucky Dog! Speaking of Dogs, mine won't even go out to relieve herself! It's so cold out that the snow is crying!
(Wags finger at Renee for enraging "Mr. Snow.")
-good times, G.J.P.(Jr.)
