Good morning Chrissy. Made it to work in Black this morning. I forgot to plug her in last night, so she was a little cranky at me this morning!

Morning everyone... what's all this talk about cold and snow? It's 80 degrees and sunny here!

Or, maybe I'm still in my little dream world since I froze my brain when I was snowblowing the 2 foot drift off the driveway for the second time... stupid wind. It might be a perfect winter day if it wasn't blowing so hard.

They closed everything down here, even the mall... the poor kids have nowhere to go since schools are closed too. I think we had nine inches of snow, but with all the blowing, I'm not sure how they measure that.

Morning Rob, everything is closed down here also. Luckily, the teen ager says he wants to snow blow the driveway. Who am I to keep him from doing what he wants.....

I need to get one of those "teen ager" things... Well, maybe not, I've heard they can be expensive to feed!

At least the snow is light and fluffy, doesn't take much to run the snow blower through the drifts.

We'll be lucky to see a plow by tomorrow on our street. When we were still Elkhorn, and not Omaha, I had never woken up to an unplowed street.

you guys are lucky, I just went home and shoveled what was 8" of fluffy snow this morning, which is now wet heavy, slushy, mush. If I don't do it now by tomorrow we would have frozen solid chucks of ice, and tonight until late tomorrow a high wind advisory. The temps aren't going to be above freezing for I don't know how long. The forecast modeling only goes to next Tuesday.

I still love winter!!!!!
