Good morning

Good Morning, Steve and everyone. My this year is flying by!. And, the joke is on me, since I said good morning on tomorrow's page before this one. My eyes don't always work like they should, oops. Have a good day you all.

Good morning, Steve and Marianne. Rainy, dreary morning down my way, with a forecast for freezing rain tomorrow. Oh, the woes of Winter.

The Houghton-Hancock area is supposed to get blitzed today and tonight, with heavy snow and high winds (gusts to 50 mph). John Dee should be happy. The Houghton police are asking people to stay off the roadways, and pedestrians to stay in, not to mention all of the schools (other than Tech and Finlandia) being closed in Houghton, Keweenaw, and Baraga counties today. My youngest son walked from his apartment to Tech (about a mile) in that. He has an exam at 6 pm. When he gets older and eventually gets married and has a family, he can tell his children about walking to school in a blizzard, LOL. Stay warm and dry you all!

I think I could handle the snow, Marianne, it's the freezing rain/ice that causes me to become 'unhinged'.:<
Hope your son was bundled up good!

Check this out Yoopers!

Marianne...your son should also mention that he had to walk uphill...both ways. :-)

Totally love the ski trail and Sturgeon River pics. Dan's is good, also!

Marianne and Alex, also add 5 miles both ways to that tale!

As a kid my friends and I walked to school in winter often. Sometimes we got to school a bit late. Had some fun on those walks.

Me too, Janie. When our Mama purchased our clothes for the school season she usually bought new boots for us ~ for walking to school in snow. Very few 'snow days' back then because there were no schoolbuses to worry about.

In re: your profile pic, Janie ~~ 'Little girl frozen in time'. So cute!!

Shirley, mom said I was upset as it was time to come in.

lol! How times have changed, Janie ~ now I get 'upset' if I 'have to go out'.;]
