Everything is white......

....outside.

I'm sure those in the great northern frozen tundra will laugh at the following images but around here.....this is a big deal. One store open in our small town...people on ATV's riding around.....snowplows out......and a few 4wd trucks on the roads.

From the street in front of my house.....

I feel certain the driver's seat in said Subaru will  need a good steam cleaning now......  Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!  You need to Login or Register

We just ended the sub zero snap here Jackie.

I was having...ummmm....bowel issues yesterday, and the pipes at the office were frozen solid, meaning no water to the "throne room".  I ended up calling head office in Green Bay and came home where I was near a working throne.

Snow is snow.  Doesn't matter where you live.  It's pretty if you don't get it often, otherwise it's just a necessary evil - and a pain in the ass after the first snowfall.

Looks as if you have about the same amount on the ground that we have, Bill.  Doesn't usually snow a whole lot here in the valley. 

Best,

Yes Bill that's a lovely dusting....

Talk to me when you lose the power, heat, water and phones because of the stupid white stuff.  What's up with that shit anyway??

Coming from snow country, I think nothing of driving in a few inches of snow, anything under 2 feet is fair game, at least, it was til I discovered what the folks in Western NC think about it.... OOF.  Ice?  No prob, they think it's just another day, snow? they FREAK.

If I have ONE MORE MAN tell me that "you'll never make it up that hill in that mini van" I'll throttle him.  Not only did I make it up the hill (without his help mind you) but then passed him further down the road where he had gone in the ditch.  I waved and smiled and drove on.

I only wish someone had told me in advance of said storms that when you have a well system and the power goes out, your water stops too.  Fortunately the Dec 18th storm had enough snow to melt to flush toilets - oy.  Now I know to fill bathtubs if there's a snow or ice winter warning.  I'm all for living off the land and such, for a day maybe two....but FIVE days? NOT.  Next time, I go stay with someone who has running water and heat.

Keep your white stuff Bill, it's purtier there than here.  And it's damn near impossible to fix a jacked up computer and internet when your power keeps going out!

That did work well for a couple of folks for a couple of days....until of course they couldn't get any fuel for their generators.  No trucks with ANYTHING (including the damn trucks with the money) could get into the region. 

If I owned this place I would damn sure have a generator, and the 2 fireplaces would not be heatilator electric propane fireplaces.....I may have a chat with the owner on the fireplace issue anyway and have new inserts put in that don't require power to use them.  Something to do with the exhaust?  All new to me, never had septic, well, propane, none of this mountain folk stuff LOL.

But I learned my lesson Brew, now I prepare - we have the gas grill with 2 full propane tanks at all times, non-perishibles, stock of drinking/cooking water, lots of candles, even more LED flood/flash lights, and of course the campfire Smiley  And I fill the damn bathtubs!  Tactical baths ya just gotta get used to though.
