Snowed all night and all today--blizzard like at times. TV weather said it was over about 1PM,-- not here it snowed til dark! Mid-day it got into the 30s, snow got heavy and slushie. Then it rained. After dark it dropped into the teens. Little 10 HP mower with a blade on it is really getting a workout this winter. Snowbanks here like "up nort"
Don't know where to push all this snow anymore. Lots got pushed right onto the pond. Was supposed to be painting rooms this winter but all I'm doing is pushing, shoveling, chopping ice & snow plus cutting, splitting wood day after day! Getting to be just like the story of "The Diary of a Snow shoveler" (some of you have read the story and know what I mean! LOL ) Maybe I should move to Southern California out by my brother where we once lived. Nothing to worry about but smog, traffic, congestion, and sleazy Hollywood Liberals, or maybe down to Tennessee where all you got to worry about is being thrown in jail with "the good ol' boys"!
In todays mail got our Edison bill and in it was printed "Imagine how you would feel if you couldn't afford to heat your home"---Almost put this in the "Jokes" column cause for some of us it is! HA HA, but you don't see me laughing at all. Thank goodness for us we have the wood stove besides the regular $$$propane furnace!
Well Dave H. ---you asked!

What a difference a day makes! After my 7:25 am post above we left out for Dentist way over in Oak Ridge. It was misty, foggy and it poured rain as we got there. Sun came out and the temp rose to 64. At dark it started to get cold and snow came. This morning the ground is covered in white, pretty.
Tom Wright got my vote for having the worst weather day.No snow to ski, when you had it the day before and want to do some more. Now that's a sad story.
It was a year ago when the good ole boys threw me in Union County jail. What a experience that was! Now they all know me by name and say howdy when they see me. The Sheriff, Junior Loyd who I voted for his first term will get my vote again. I liked that shirt I had on that night until it got all bloody. All charges were dropped for violence and wire tapping, which was a joke. So you all remember when you talk on cordless phones. What goes in the air can be heard by other's then the person your talking to.
