Wow it sure did get quiet in here.

We can't all be working that hard/much are we?

I am about covered up with the annual pre bad weather crunch.

Yes I am enjoying the good weather. My father-in-law was actually baling hay yesterday. That is almost unheard of this time of year. I need to work on my car but I don't think the weather will hold out long enough for me to work on it outside. I saw the news where South Dakota was getting pounded by snow at 3 inches an hour and they have a total of 4'. I-90 was closed from Mitchell to 50 miles past Wyoming state line. I was out there this summer and that is about 400 miles of interstate. They can keep it up north.

Well for me it WAS a combination of the job and the elections (ain't gonna go there!) that kept me away.

BUT that was then and this is now!

Election, I hope I am very wrong.

My nephew is in Afghanistan, I am worried.
I am in WV, I am worried.


I guess no one watches the national news here.
Housing is in the toilet in 95% of the country, housing glut, falling prices.
They are building them here as fast as they can.

I guess we really are behind the rest of the country, we have not reached the housing saturation point yet.

How much snow did everyone get? We ended up with about 4 inches on the ground. I think alot more than that fell but the ground was pretty warm and it was melting as fast as it was falling for a while. I heard Snowshoe got 15".

I had to drive to Charlottesville, VA Tuesday evening and it was a little dicey until I got outta WV. Gas was $1.82 in Staunton!

No snow to speak of, maybe a dusting, but gas at Sams in Parkersburg was $1.759 for regular.

We had an inch this morning, went out south of town and a small blizzard came through about 11 AM and dumped three more inches.

Crazy weather, I think we got up to 20 today, but the wind had the wind chill below zero.

Just a dusting here in Pipestem...regular is down to 1.99 in town and diesel is down to 2.89 in Princeton! I haven't made a VA trip lately for fuel but it's gotta be even lower across the border!
