Well the roads aren't closed but still very windy and they say visibility is poor at times but I guess I'll brave it and head out to make my appointment

Happy Hump Day Mornin'all. Not a lot of snow here, but the winds are gusting up to 85kmh. Driving to work, I saw people putting out their garbage and recycling bin's. most of them have blown over or away. Have a great day guy's.

At -14 we've achieved our high for the day, only got about an inch of snow. The news says we're getting it easy and so it would appear, good thing I have long Johns

Good evening to all who lurk here.
People who don`t know enough to slow down and whiteouts are a dangerous combination!
We didn`t get a lot of snow here, mostly the wind piled it up in all the wrong places. Sunny and very little wind so a nice day here. I found some broken evergreen branches, it was windy.
-25° here too tonight, winter is back.

When ever the weather turns to crap I avoid going out into it, if I need to go somewhere I take the bus and let them get me there. One of the reasons that I moved into town was to make life easier and avoiding the need to drive to town did that pretty good.
Got a prop yesterday to recycle TV electronics on Ebay so the cats got evicted from their room and thats my electronics shop starting tomorrow. I'm heading down the alley tomorrow and picking up 25 - 30 flat screen TV's from Tom's electronics store. He doesn't have the time to get this up and running and has to much to do to babysit something like this. It also frees up his shop space and saves on his dumpster costs, anything thats metal goes in my metal bin and the rest can go into my blue bin. It's not a get rich quick but it could add another 30 - 50 a week to the house fund for about 4 hours of light effort a week. If it does better it won't increase my hours that much as most of the work is done already.

I always find hospital visits to be sad but it`s a fact of life.
Thanks for the condolences John, Grant and Gerry.
Blistering cold here too but very sunny.
