funny said blown sideways, one time i was cleaning a house on the lake(ontario), the wind took the ladder sideways, there i was hanging on like a flag waving in the wind, one time i wish i had my camera for someone to take a picture of a 130 pound young guy waving in the wind lol.

edit: thank god for good window frames

Darren I was thinking the same thing about the sand in your last thread lol. Too bad he could not give it to me it would help me out big time instead of him putting it in his intake, and I got a laugh out of your last comment about mike lol that was funny in a way though, I do not let him tell me when he has to be in the lift anymore or using more than 41/2 sections of his latter's I am always worrying about him on the latter's lol.

I feel for you Melissa, but I am sure Mike takes all the necessary precautions.

Too bad we didn't have a white Christmas. It made travel better, but I still would have preferred to have snow at Christmas.

We had a inch or two of fresh snow Christmas Eve and it made everything look nice.

Neil - glad you got some snow. At least someone had a white Christmas.

Not sure how much snow you have had so far down in the Southern tier but right here in my neck of the woods I have had about 3' of snow total so far. We had two seperate storms that dumped about 15" each and the rest arrived here and there. I can see grass in some areas due to the melt over last weekend but I still have other areas that are snow covered.

Good Morning, here we don't have much snow left because of the rain that we have been getting, this morning Mike has to work downtown Buffalo where the ball is going to be dropped the company he works for has to clean the windows there and going to be up in the lift and he going to have high winds there so hopefully he is not going to be flapping in the wind like a flag lol. I told him, yo had to tell me that you are going to be up in the lift in the winds today didn't you and he said yeah and laughed. I will let you all know how things went when he gets home. Well hope things don't fly away with the winds or are frozen to bad .

yeah after awhile the water does freeze on Mike that's if he don't pt alot of alcohol in the water and I know today he did not put any in the water here so I have a feeling that being downtown Buffalo he is going to have a hard time cleaning the windows I do not understand why some people wold want their windows done in the winter time don't some people have common sense about how water reacts in the winter time, I can see wanting the windows done downtown where the ball is going to be dropped so it looks good and shinny but common people water and Cold weather don't mix to well even if they do have the alcohol in the water sometimes it don't work if it is very cold out side.

Well we have no snow left here other than a few odd snowplow mounds. I can see pretty much everyone's lawns.

Melissa - that sucks that Mike has to be out washing windows. Even though it is somewhat mild out today it is not that warm that I would like to be working with water up in the air. Let us know that he got home safe.

Thanks for the concern about Mike working in the lift and with the water.
