Dear Barbara,
I like the pictures. Keep finding stuff to keep yourself occupied.



Dear Steve,
Does the snow and the knowledge that more might be on the way contribute to your anxiety load? I hope that you are finding ways to manage.

It just stoped snowing,and sleeting. So far the electricity hasn't gone out for to long. It's went out,and turned back on about 25 times.

I have just shoveled alot of snow. I have removed alot of snow from the car,but I can't,and don't want to drive it yet. It's got a layer of Ice all over it from the sleet,and freezing rain last night.

Yesterday morning I went to two hardware stores to get the supplies that I needed,because they didn't have what I needed the day before,or the day before that. I also went to Walmart,and Lowes.

I turned on one hill, on the way to the second hardware store,and my car started spinning wheels. I put it into low geer,and turned the wheels in what ever direction that wound bring me foreward in my lane. I slowly made it up the road. I drove about ten miles in the snow both ways.

I went to the gas station to fill up my tank. Then I drove away,and my car fish tailed,and I was crossing both lanes. No cars where coming. So I turned the wheel in the direction that I came from,put it in low geer,and was able to right my car,and drive in the other direction. Then I found a even surface area,and turned down that road,and turned to head back to where I was going. I made it up one last hill,and went home.

I'm careful when I stop a car in the snow,or ice. You must softly tap the brakes way before you want to came to a stop,and give the car in front of you plenty of space.

I was then ready for the snow storm. Mari. I'm ready for the tuesday snow too. I hope. If the electricity goes out,I'll be OK.

The heater that I use is called the Coleman Procat. The thing really works. Forgive me for my spelling errors. BF

PS I have gained more experience in driving in the snow. I had foregotten about that hill,because I haven't been that way to many times. That road leaving the service station had a sudden drastic change in the angle of the road. I'll be extra careful the next time there also.

Barbara I'm glad that you still have electricity. Have a nice evening. BF

You all be careful out there and if you decide to venture out and make snow angels get pics! I always have the urge to drop in the snow and make angels. Last time I did that my dog pounced on me and messed it all up. But it was fun!!!

welcome to the world of Upper Michigan weather.. snow snow snow... then what more snow... not so much this year but usually... take care all, sarah

Yes. I've watched the weather of the Great Lakes turn very snowy on the Noaa Website. Those conditions incubate those storms.

Our President called this storm that we just got Snowmageddon. LOL BF

Hunker down and stay sfae and warm!!!!!
