We have a goose down comforter from LL Bean that is amazing, but we haven’t taken it out of the linen closet in a few years. This may be the year that we bring it back.

Sometimes the neighbors help. They have tractors with plows. Our closest one has a bucket loader.

LOL!!!

My kitty climbs under the covers at night an puts her head on my pillow. If I roll over, she cries. She'll only lay on the outside edge of the bed and she wants me to face her.

The vent for the stove hood is "clapping". Very annoying!

Worcester, MA is a virtual white out

Looks like the 1895 one might be the one they were talking about, 24 inches around Lafayette.
We're to the east southeast of Lafayette about 70 miles or so.

[DJ MacWoW]

That sounds like a good idea.

I have a 18 year old comforter from WalMart, before their stuff got cheap. It's lightweight but thick and very warm.

I loved reading that list!

1864--FEBRUARY 18: Daniel Goos Jr., in the schooner Revenge, anchored at Calcasieu Pass, reported in his log, “Snowing in the morning — Very cold.”

How cool is that?!

1869--JANUARY 30: The Lafayette Advertiser reported: “On last Sunday we witnessed an event of rare occurrence in our section of the country: snow began falling at 7 p.m. and for several hours fell very thick; in the evening the snow fell again to the great amazement and merriment of the young urchins who plagued the elders with questions. Pa, one said, it’s very cold and look pa what’s that. -- That’s snow my son — I never seen that before, pa. — No, sonny, snow does not generally fall in our country. It falls in the North. — North? That’s where the Yankees live ain’t it pa? — That’s so, my son. — Well, pa, I wonder if its them confounded fellows brought that snow don here and if they don’t intend to change our climate.”

LOL!!!

When they sang One is the Loneliest Number on TV my Dad said at the time, 'No wonder, they are a homely bunch'. :)

[onyx]

Then take out the exclamation point.
I mistook it for a 1....LOL.

[The Cajun]

of the young urchins who plagued the elders with questions.

LOL, I usually don't call them "young urchins" when I catch them pulling wheelies on my farm land with their ATVs and dirt bikes.

[Jim Robinson]

Yup. And we all know how the hardcore totalitarians reward their useful idiots as soon as they gain total control. The useful idiots (and families) are always surprised to learn their fate.

Mr T estimates that we have 8 to 9 inches on the ground. We are not yet at the height of this storm.

[DJ MacWoW]

This one always made us laugh.

Mama Told Me

[onyx]

WOW - you’re right. The worst is yet to come.

[RedMDer]

It was meant to be a 1 but I must have been holding the uppercase shift button. LOL!

[trisham]

It’s all about layers.

[DJ MacWoW]

LOL!!! I get more descriptive at times too. ;-)

I had an older friend, she was 70 at the time, who was plagued by ATV's, snowmobilers etc. They ran right over her rock walls into her tree farm. I told her to drive nails at an angle in a board and lodge it on top of her rock walls. The left her alone after that.
