Winter Wonderland my Butt!!

Sorry you had such a lousy day, but thanks for the reminder to put the tow strap and other emergency gear I carry back in my truck. It was parked for a while, have to re-stock the kit.

Speaking of which, REMEMBER!

ALways carry a blanket, water, and some non-perishable food in the car when you're driving in lousy weather, especially in rural areas. You never know where you're going to get stuck, or how long you're going to be there.

Uhhh that sounds awful!

We have had a snow blizard over here, we are supposed to have 70 mph + wind and get 6 more inches of snow tonight. To bad I still have to work. Dogs don't let themselfs out and poop doesn't get scooped itself. Wish I could get out of it.

You reminded me of the earthquake supply kit and those bars that look and taste like particle board!

LOL,
You can taste the fat and sugar in them--ewwwww!

Also a cell phone.

A couple of years ago I took my cat Priscilla to the vet school hospital at Michigan State University in East Lansing (about 70 miles from Ann Arbor). Right around the time we were leaving, a snowstorm started up. 10 miles or so along on I-96, midway between a couple of exits several miles apart, I had a flat tire! By then, the snow was really coming down and the visibility was poor. I rolled over to the shoulder and turned on the flashers.

I don't use a cell phone in everyday life, but I have a TracFone (prepaid cell phone) for out-of-town and emergency use.. just for something like this, for example!.

I called Triple-A, and before long I was on my way again without a lot of trouble. I shudder to think of what things might have been like if I hadn't had it. (The late, great) Priscilla and I might still be stranded on I-96!

Bless all of your hearts.. I feel for you in the cold & wet & snow.. Try to stay warm & at home for sure.. Hey could you send just a wittle bit of snow to Tx please..

Well, a few more inches are due to arrive tonight and tomorrow. I would be delighted to FedEx it to you!.. if I only could, sigh...

And, Kimmy, we're getting more snow right now! Aren't you excited?!

The snow and I have a love/hate relationship as well.

LOL!! Well, I'm home, so it can snow all it wants!

It's really starting to come down tonight. Supposed to get 1-3 inches tonight and another 2-4 tomorrow night.

I really feel for all of you.

The weather here can't make up it's mind. One day it's in the lower 30's, the next, upper 60's, a couple of days ago I was able to go outside without a jacket and in short sleeves, and it was warm! The next day there was ice on everything.

Getting a mixture of some junk tomorrow, maybe a real snowstorm Christmas Eve. Oh joy. Ick.

Loved it when I was a kid but my office never closed no matter how bad it got. One boss even paid for hotel rooms. Clients before personnel, thank you very much.

Even the slightest flurry causes Philadelphians to panic and either drive too fast or too slow or too stupidly. I don't mind driving in the snow, but when it turns to sheets of deadly ice, furgitaboutit.
Now my fear is injuring my already screwed up spine and hips. But, then doesn't everyone want to splat on the ice? Like, duh.
