We're under a crazy blizzard warning. Wasn't sure it would happen after last week's "dud", but dang if it isn't nasty out. So icy this morning, I backed out of the garage and immediately went sideways. Now we've got about 6 inches of snow and high wind. Sounds like a fireplace and book kind of night, followed by some small car racing.

And shoveling...

David! You had a bunch of surgery recently, didn't you? Don't go shovelling and screwing that up. For a while, you get to have the rules they put on me this year... "Fat men don't shovel". Of course, they didn't shovel for me, they just didn't want me to do it.

Looks like that storm system will be here Friday or so. You guys take all the starch out of it, and we'll finish it off before it goes into the Atlantic, okay?

Wehave some kind of t-storm watch going on here too. Idiots blew the sirens twice last night and it didn't even sprinkle. If something is really happening blow the sirens, if not leave them alone. It's kind of like the little boy who cried wolf, if they keep it up noone will pay any attention if something does happen. :roll:

No funnel clouds sighted or anything? That's a big screwup.

Getting hit by t-storms right now and expected to go through 2AM. Just rain in the morning and t-storms return late tomorrow afternoon. Worse thing is I'm supposed to pick the "Household Manager" up at Indy airport at 4:00 Friday afternoon....just when they're supposed to get t-storms. Guess she'll have a bumpy ride or the flight will be delayed.....probably better bring a book with me.

My job sent me home when there was a break in the weather today - safety first! I'm also working from home tomorrow. I LOVE this job!

Harry, I see you didn't get a pic of me with the hearing or eye protectors on...

Right now clear and sun is out, stiff breeze...supposed to make it into the high 70s today. Weather is supposed to start to rock and roll again about 1:00PM and last into the wee hours of tomorrow. Anywhere you put a foot on the place goes "squish" :roll:

Big storms here, and "squishy" too.

I am sorry Dave. That is a bad example. Always wear hearing and eye protection when operating that machine.
