At work I have maybe 25'-30', about 12'-15' on each side (I'm on a corner)
and that walk has to be shoveled ihn front of the retail store - but I won't be around until Monday, I'm sure. Definitely won't be able to open tomorrow, and I'm a one-man operation. So I'll be digging out the vehicles @ home on Sunday and then the store, at work, on Monday. I am not looking forward to it.
At 65, & with emphysema (sp?) and PN- its slow, hard work.

Maybe you DO need one of those big blowers! Push button start! Sweet.

South of where i am is getting nailed this year compared to us. Usually winters are milder for virginia and north carolina than here. WE had one 25" snowfall in December but its been pretty quiet since. This storm may leave us with only a dusting. Its a nice change of pace.

Echoes.........Go ahead.......gloat !!
I shut the shop down, closed up - and headed for the homestead.
Stopped off, and picked up some brewski, & now I'm snug as a bug
and don't want to even look out the window for the next day or so.
Think I'll rustle up a crock-pot of Beef Stew, Chili,
or a Jambalaya, and settle back til this is over.
Mebbe set up some biscuits or cornbread too.

Ode to Bob.

"Oh the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful
So since you've got no place to go,
Let it snow. Let is snow. Let is snow!"

Hum, Hum, Hum. La, La, La.....

For a change, the temp is above freezing here and the sun is peeking thru a cloudy sky. (It won't last, don't worry.)

Bah ! ~~ Humbug !!

OK, so I can't carry a tune....I tried.

I hear you Bob, we are having quite a winter this year. I don't think we have had this much snow for years... 24" - everything in our area will be paralyzed for sure - I am in the Annapolis area.

You can sit by the fire or the TV, drink hot chocolate and eat crumpets or what ever is eaten on the east coast....lol. Yes, you do have good and cheap lobster and other seafood....we have brats, lol.

Oh, don't forget the blankies, mittens, hat, and warm booties....Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Not much else you can do when Mother Nature lets loose. At least it is Friday nite. Don't go anywhere!

Here just below Dee of Cee? The word is 'Snopocolypse'! It's gonna rank in the top five EVER in this area and this is a rating that goes back to something like 1890? ME? I just wanna hibernate. AND HOPE like heck that the power doesn't go out! W/ My PN? I turn blue too readily!

As for the Groundhog - IF I remember right and could not find reference? The IF he saw his shadow X days were to ensue, and if not? X weeks ensued..Much to my 9th grade disillusion was the calculation of the 'days'.. About one or two? Depending on leap years... Sad but also silly reflection of 'THE DAY'!

I Say 'THE DAY'? As I chose it as my wedding day... [HARD TO FORGET?] Then to please parents got re-married in the 'church' on April Fools... It IS a day of absurdity, and is FUN! Please one and all keep that in mind? Don't forget that this years' 'Phil' certainly didn't look starved or deprived... Just woken up abruptly... Hey-I don't look that bright waking up! I'm gonna sit this crud out, and hope for a minor miracle or three.
Hugs and hope to all and maybe some FUN! We can't have a snowball fight on this board, can we? 's - j
