Everyone doing okay?
I know some of you are close to the midwest area.
Have a girl friend outside of Syracuse and she's already shoveled 13" of snow off her roof.
We've been very mild and even have some melting going on today.
Weather peeps saying 2-5" of snow coming. Haven't seen anything yet. Maybe it hasn't gotten here. LOL

Been on my feet most of the day. Baking, cleaning, washing now cooking dinner.

Have a good one.

I'm enduring two straight days of steady rain. Somebody east of me will feel the effects in a couple more days.

Good hunting. El Bee

We went from 18 last week to around 68 today. I no this Oklahoma and the weather changes every few hours but this winter has been a strange one. Looks like we got more rain this winter than we got all last spring, could be some flooding this spring if it's a wet one. No place for the water to go. I feel for you guys up north and east you been through hell this winter. Stay safe there's better days coming just got to get there.

When GLOBAL WARMING buries the propane tank, that's some scary shit! And some people scoff! Look around, it's real, folks!

They no longer have to prove anything, it's taken for granted. Everybody knows Climate Change exists! Now, AOC has a plan, something about a New Green Deal. No more gas or coal, all solar and wind power.

And, this chick is criminally stupid. You know; "JUST PAY IT" Educated at a major university and she's virtually illiterate, economically. The scary part is that so many people think she knows what she is talking about! Okay, I admit it, I'd do her.

Good hunting. El Bee

Sorry Leonard. Paul didn't get the memo [Wink]

Rained I think all night, last night. Earthwalker's mountain is white again.

Oh great. Means water for grass which means big fire hazard for later this summer.

The storm(s) so far has stayed south of us. We had a little tiny about of rain/sprinkles hit yesterday morning before daylight then nothing all day.

We are getting this snow later this afternoon I hate mud did I mention I hate mud !

Yes, he pretends he didn't get the memo, and I was this close to firing his ass! But he's so cute and since "they" have outlawed straws, I have pity. Imagine enjoying his steak shakes without a straw! I noticed they sell a four pack of steel straws at Walmart for a hundred dollars. Think of it as an investment, environmentalists are in charge!

Whatever, LB

Leonard is that straw deal done ? I noticed in our "hokie-doke" newspaper out of Ontario-Oregon. That, Oreygone is considering the same ?

I noticed also some (rep) or whatever mentioned are we looking out for Portland or following California ?

It's getting 'Bizzare'

Well a $800 fine, 2nd offense sounds pretty serious?

El Bee 🐝

edit: I think robbing a bank, the fine is less than that, especially if you are Hispanic.

The flow has slowly moved eastward and we're getting the snow now.
Got less than a half inch last night.
All the webcams on the roads is showing snow falling with very slick roads right now.

Of course we need to go down to the valley early tomorrow morning. We'll see what happens this afternoon. Got a hunch Avalanche Alley will get closed. Other half lost a filling and needs to get to the dentist. The local dentist has shoulder surgery and won't be in until the middle of the month and then it's a 3 week wait for a crown. He needs to be in the valley before March and not waiting for a crown. Our old dentist can have a crown in a week or so and by being back down it's no problem to run into town to see him. No snow for over a month and now we're getting it.

Cancelled the drive down tomorrow to the valley.
Might be able to plow by late this afternoon.

Well hasn't exactly been the Bahama's in Montana this past week. We all knew temperatures were going to plummet last Saturday afternoon. It was a 67 degree drop in temperature from Saturday to Sunday. High's most of this week are below zero. So being consistent in the kind of luck I seem to have, my furnace decided to quit working some time around noon on Saturday. Thank goodness we have a wood burning stove in the basement or we would have been in serious trouble. The stove didn't keep the house toasty warm, but what it did do is keep all my water pipes from freezing, and kept the interior of the entire house at around 60 degrees as opposed to the outside temperature of -25 degrees. Of course the repairmen couldn't make it out until yesterday, so it was a couple of pretty cold days in my house. However the repairman was able to quickly fix the furnace yesterday and all is well again. Well inside the house anyway, it's still friggen cold outside, and more snow is falling outside my window as I type this. Plus there is more snow and sub zero temperatures for the rest of the week in the forecast. I don't really mind though, as it keeps a lot of people from moving here, and I'm okay with wide open spaces where there is more deer, antelope, and elk than people. Not to mention the coyote hunting doesn't exactly suck when the weather gets like this. Carry on.
