Tim, the older you get the less used to it you become. === Absolutely right. I really think you'd be happier in south Florida, at least in the wintertime. |

Our "event" turned out to be just a dusting that has already melted. It's hovering around 34, but will hit 20 tonite. By next Wed. it's 65, and next weekend back to the low 70's. Buddy (the black Lab) is happy because he gets to come inside when it's below 40. |

Supposed to peak this evening then slowly ease up, ending at about 9 tomorrow morning. One *good* thing is that it is only in the mid 20's, so the snow will be more of the light, fluffy type rather than the heavy wet stuff. Tonight the temp is forcast to drop to about 5 degrees (F for our Canadian friend). |

Tonight the temp is forcast to drop to about 5 degrees (F for our Canadian friend). i just got back from a grocery store run. At the moment we have 6" of powdery snow on the ground, and the temp is 20F. Our driveway, our street and the two state roads that lead to the main highway around here have not been plowed. The main highway has, and it is slushy. Used the 4WD (High mode) in my truck for the first time and that, combined with its high clearance, aggressive all season tires, and manual transmission, made the trip easy. |
