Up to -2 it's actually getting warmer...... Was as low as-7 a little while ago.
Hope that trend keeps going.....

Oh heck no....I love driving in snowstorms.
We drove Escanaba last week......a good hour or so drive in blizzard conditions to go out to lunch and grocery shopping.
I can honestly say I'm great at that kinda driving..... But that's from driving to work (35 miles one way) for 35 years no matter what the weather was.... They didn't let me stay home cuz the roads were closed..... No I can say I never missed a day because of bad weather..... Can't say the same about good weather...

You can appreciate this:
When I worked for IBM we ran payroll for the entire division, and when the schedules jumped the rails it was bad. I knew there was a bad storm coming overnight, so I planned to leave home early the next morning. I fought my way the 30 miles to work through ice & several inches of snow (pretty major for around here), and was only a minute or so late, but still there alone. Pretty soon the phone rang; it was the Supervisor. He said he was still at home, couldn't get out, and wasn't coming in. He lived right there in the same town that IBM was in, and drove a VW bug! I'd just come 30 miles in a rear wheel drive vehicle, and he couldn't make it across town in a go-anywhere VW bug!
Never once, in 21 years of working there, did I ever let bad weather keep me from going to work.

See Whites, that is what is wrong with the current generation. Any excuse and they call off work. Ooh, i have the sniffles... staying in bed playing video games.

I should mention. .. maybe 2 or 3 years back..... I hired a guy to dig out my ditches. .. make them big and deep again. ... I was hoping some quality ditch work would keep the driveways from turning into swallowing soupy quicksand in the spring/break-up.

well..... ever since.... way more difficult to yank out the plow when I roll in.

Yeah.... money well spent

I remember one of your ditch stories long ago. I kept thinking "dang this woman is hardcore badazz!"

We got several inches of snow. Even blew a couple inches into the chicken pens. They are not happy. But i swept some space for them to find the ground. Thank goodness for deep litter.

Good morning pondcicles.

I guess i finally made it to the point where i can call off whenever i want to and stay home playing on BYC.
