    Snowing !!

    The snow is here in Maine! It has been snowing since before 3:30 AM.Depending on who you listen to we are expecting from 12 inches to 30 inches !!!!
    The good thing is I can just sit inside and watch it. It is GREAT being retired !!!!!

    We only got about five or six inches here (Milwaukee area). Then they said you guys on the right coast were going to get hit pretty hard.

    I sort of like snow days. I just down a bunch of coffee and play around in the shop.

    Stay safe. 12" + of snow is nothing to sneeze at!

    In Toronto, the storm has hit, and I had to drive to work.

    I despise you retired types!

    Ok, I admit it, I'm jealous of you retired types............Regards, Rod.

    The weather cast here in the DFW metro said you all could get as much as 2 1/2' of the white fluffy stuff. Everyone be safe! Jim.

    Jealous!

    We had a single 4" event, plus a few dustings up to maybe an inch. Not enough to get the plow out and play except for that one event.

    I went skeet shooting in Walnut Ridge, Arkansas yesterday afternoon, 63 degrees. It is nice to be retired.

    It started snowing here a couple of hours ago. We filled up the bird feeders and will watch it snow. Retired life is good.

    Okay, now that's just mean!
    I'm running around filling propane tanks, gas tanks, stacking and covering wood, getting the plow on the tractor, and all other such nonsense, because I was at work yesterday , and wishing I could be skeet shooting.
    Gotta a spare room? I'll bring the shotguns. Beer too.

    Snow. I've heard of that. It's that white stuff up on the mountain, right?

    Around here, it's supposed to snow down as low as 2500' tonight, and my grandaughter has to drive over a 3700+' pass to get to work on Saturday. She lives in the high desert where the elevation is 3000' Our place is right at the base of the 10,000'mountain, at 1800'. It's nice to look up at the snow, but glad we don't live there.

    Over here on the left coast the weather person last night was a bit surprised that we are in the second week of February without snow.

    Sun is shining outside today.

    Back in '72, when we lived WY, I had to dig down through 3' of snow to grease the windmill.

    We had 10 inches on the ground this morning here in Mid Michigan on top of the 4 or so inches already on the ground. Sure glad I plowed my 300 foot driveway yesterday so I only had to deal with the extra 10 inches. The sky was bright blue and the Sun was shining as I was plowing.
