Checking in on you Steve. Glad the mix was a minimal for you, has the snow slowed at all? We are in a lull with another 6-8" after super courtesy of Steve's system. We have 8" so far....but also no ice so the power is okay so far. Tonight the change to heavy coastal winds and heavy blowing snow. Dh has work at midnight, ds at 4:00am.

I'm in for the next two days.

Bizi, I see a warm up headed for you next week with above norm temps. I hope it doesn't rain with all this snow cover up here.

We have received about 10,to 11 inches of snow,and sleet. My car is stuck. I have a Pontiac that is low in the front end for arrow dynamics in the wind from the factory. It has some kind of wind shields in front of the tires,and motor. It doesn't work in the snow. I love my Grand Am though. I have what I need though. A snow plow has left a wall of snow in my driveway. Oh well. It's no big deal. BF

I am so far out in the country that if there is a life threatening emergency,they send a helicopter. I heard sirens,and fire engines going down the road that I live on Monday night. It turned out that there was a single car accident down my road,and I heard the helicopter fly in. It takes about a half an hour driving,to 45 minutes depending on the traffic to get to the closest hospital. You cannot drive to fast also because there are allot of dear crossing the roads out here. They cause most of the accidents. Some people don't have a half an hour,to 45 minutes. It takes some time for the emergency crews to arrive at the scene of a accident also. BF

Steve,

A half an hour to the hospital? Wow.
It is good to hear that helicopters are sent out.

Hi,

On Wednesday, My aunt and uncle's house burned down to the ground in a four alarm fire (from basement to attic).
They are safe and staying at my cousin's house.

Their pipes froze so my uncle tried to unfreeze the pipes by using a blowtorch.

The house had been built about one hundred thirty years ago so it had no separation between the walls (like houses now a days do) and so the fire moved quickly.
