Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

I moved down to Kokomo Indiana in 1972 and that winter we got 10 inches of snow overnight. That day after shoveling out and driving to work only to find out it was closed, I was driving around amused about why everyone was having so much trouble and freaking out when I came across the cities only 3 "snowplows" which had become irreversibly stuck trying to help the first stuck plow. Had a good laugh. City was closed for 2 days,
-8 F this morning. Going to 20 F today. Full sun out now.

Coffee in the John Deere mug.

I'm contemplating studded snow tires or just snow tires for next year. "The northeast is tough on vehicles" so my neighbor says. He owns a used car business. He would know. I'm leaning towards studded snows as the tractors do so much better with chains when they need the extra traction from time to time. When you need the studs in the tires, you need them, any other time they just make lots of noise.

No big plans for the day. I hope you enjoy yours.

for once, the forecasters hit it on the button .... 28 degrees right now with 3.5" of snow .... largest measurable snow in January here since 2004 .... our kids and their kids are all out playing in the snow .... with the forecasted sub freezing temps over the next three days, icy roads will be with us for a while

Oh boy Jim, you got smacked! While those are some pretty pictures I’m sure you’re not loving it.

Another boring day forecast, woke up to 28 with a high of 34 expected. Yesterday we had some sun breaks which were appreciated. My poor neighbor just landed in Arizona on his snowbird trip and send me a pic of the snow that fell. Just a trace but snow is snow especially when you’re trying to escape it. :!:

Have not been able to use studded tires around here for at least 20 years. Too much road damage.

Fair -6°F -21°C
Dewpoint -9°F (-23°C)

Folgers and Cheerios.
Up early, couldn't sleep. Oh well, I'll take a nice shower and get ready for church.
Got some more snow last night. Not much to talk about. As you can see we're still in the
deep freeze. Not much going on so I guess I'll watch a little football this afternoon.
My cousin survived the bypass surgery and is recovering now. :D
