Last night we got a half ince of Ice and two inches of snow over that. The morning drive was interesting to say the least. Tomorrow we might get snow then again a day or two before Christmas.

Hey Lug....remember you told me the clear sky was coming.....it's been raining again for the last couple of hours.

On the other hand....it's 58 out at 11 pm.

I'm about to go out and dig out the wife's car, and mine, out of the parking lot at the apartment complex.  Half a pot of coffee got me ready.  The snow's pretty light, so it shouldn't take long . . . And to think we're forecast for 6"-8" more tomorrow night--and maybe a bunch for Christmas Eve.

Yep--we got at least a foot here as well, and it's still coming down.  Time to warm up the coffee, put on the heavy socks, and plow out the driveway.  Thank goodness for 4WD.

We had about 1/2 inch of solid ice on the ground early Friday morning when I got out of work (just after midnight), and it sucks working in phone repair. The storm is spread nationwide and we've had some outages in Indiana, Ohio, Nevada, and Washington because of it.

Today it's supposed to get down to a windchill of -20. FUn.

2-6 inches of snow inbound and strong winds that are going to drop the windchills to 25-30 below.

I just popped a load of beef and porta bella mushrooms into the mini crock pot for dinner later. 

It's quiet.

It's... too quiet.

I have a new movie called "Zombie Diaries" (British flick) that I am going to watch and I will probably order the Michal Rapaport movie "Special" on pay per view later. It looks fantastic.  It's about a guy who trys this experimental depression drug that he thinks gives him super powers.

I hate to work in the yard....I like to shop.


This morning at 7:45 ....I was outside planting pansies. That led to cleaning out a couple of flower beds and trimming branches off of the crepe myrtle trees. The other half came home from early morning Mass....told me he thought he was going to have a heart attack seeing me work out in the yard! ( :hammer:)....worked out there until 10:15.  Thank you very much! :bow:

Went to the Mall, Target and the grocery store this afternoon in the rain. A gazillion rude people out there.  :censored:

Should have stayed home and worked in the yard.....  :banghead:

It was 58 at 7:30 this morning.....high tomorrow is supposed to be 32....all these puddles are gonna freeze.... :(

Looks like my parents are going out of town for the rest of the holiday.  I'll be speding Christmas alone.  I'm fine with that... I wasn't really looking forward to dragging my butt over there on Christmas morning.

Dinner might be interesting.
