Things are looking bleak for that picnic today...

Bleak? What a wonderful day for a picnic - albeit indoors. Perfect day for snuggling with the wife by the fireplace, a cup of hot chocolate, and watch the snow fall - turning the world crisp, clean, and pristine white.

I do hate shoveling, but the white is absolutely gorgeous.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Got to drive through all of that crap to get to work this morning. Yeehah.

Agreed. Looks like we've fizzled for a bit. Cleared a spot so the mailman can deliver my empty boxes. :-)

We are having a campfire tonight. Probably have to shovel a path to the fire pit. Have a litre of cheap brandy ready for hot brandy's by the fire. Superb winter activity. :-)

EDIT: just looked outside. We haven't had a bit of snow today. But it's rather chilly. 2 right now, and dropping. WEatherman says low of -17 tonight. Guess I'm building a bigger fire than I thought.

It's snowing to beat heck here in the Twin Cities. I've rarely seen it snow so hard for so long. Our church had a men's breakfast schdeduled for this morning, which got cancelled. So, I got in a nap this morning. :-)

Now to dig out the Xmas decorations and merry up the house. :-)

It's just a Dusting...


er.. Flesh wound.......



Nothing to see here. Was out and about and it was annoying, but fine.... note to self.. if you drive a little speck car, and you haven't seen any other vehicles out except 4 wheel drives, you should stay home.

The wifes lil' cute ute is a blast to drive in this stuff.

Down here in the southwest, we've had a bit of sleet and freezing rain to dampen the fun. Still, about 8 inches so far and it's still going to snow for a while.

My summer car rarely sees snow. Lowered 2" from stock makes it rather difficult. I do have my stock wheels with winter tires, and installed a limited slip diff to help though. Lincoln LS:

Holy buckets, I think it's even snowing harder now. I can't recall that I've ever seen it snow like this.
[Reply]

Still nothing up here today. I'm bummed. :-)

They don't close MSP very often.

Blew off the driveway a few hours ago for the first shot. Only took 2 hours. Shouldn't take as long the second time around. We've gotten about 13 inches so far. Doesn't look like it'll stop for a while, either. If I did outdoor winter activities, it'd be better, but I don't, so I hate this crap. :-)
[Reply]

Yeah we've had 13" or so as well. Still snowing like crazy. Ran out to the store quick to get a couple things, otherwise it's pretty lousy out there. Heating up some shortning for an early dinner of fried fish. We plan to watch a Christmas movie tonight, White Christmas, Miracle on 34th Street, or something along those lines.

Here's a picture from my bedroom window for you Southerners. :-)

We're supposed to get 6-9" or 8-14", depending on which weather forecast you watch. Were supposed to have about 5" by now. I figure 2" at best since this morning, but it is blowing.

I am wondering if they'll cancel church in the morning (elders and trustees make that decision). Have already had a couple calls about it. I told one person, "Look at how much snow you have outside. Now look at whether it is snowing or not. At present, I'd say it isn't a question. Of course, if it snows hard between now and tomorrow morning, that may all change.

It is good to see the white though.

Peace of the Lord be with you.
