I only saw the very first Star Wars movie. I was always more of a Star Trek fan.

Remember the futuristic books that we read in our youth? So many of those things came to pass.

I remember when we saw man walking on the moon in our classroom. That was thrilling for us to see as children.

My grandfather thought it was a hoax! LOL He didn’t believe it. I got upset but my mom told me not to try to convince him that astronauts landed on the moon because it was beyond his comprehension.

I liked any kind of adventure shows as a kid. We only get one childhood and it should be magical!

As a young kid we only got two channels so TV viewing was limited. Adventure shows I remember - Batman (the one with Adam West), Lassie, The Forrest Rangers, Littlest Hobo. Flipper. Lost In Space (but even as a kid I thought it was dorky). Bonanza and Gunsmoke. I hated Green Acres, Gilligan's Island and Beverly Hillbillies, but of course watched them anyway because... two channels 🤣
I forgot Zorro!

cwille,

Only 2 channels? Wow!

We had 5. CBS, ABC, NBC, PBS and WGNO.

I watched most of the shows that you stated.

I don’t know Forest Rangers or the Hobo show. I hated Lost In Space. I thought it was super boring. The rest I liked.

We had a black and white television for a long time.

Our neighbors got a color television before us. My neighbor invited me to see Batman in color because I was dying to know what color Robin’s cape was.

The wind has started, no snow expected until about midnight. Should wake up to a winter wonderland and maybe no electricity which happens often with these storms. Chili is made, not quite right, not sure what is missing. But it tastes good anyway.

I hope you don’t lose power. Glad that you will have yummy chili to eat. Sounds delicious!

cw,

Remember how we had to get up and change the channel? No remote back then.

Technology changed our lives in so many ways. We adjusted to it.

Our children grew up in a world that always had technology. They have never been intimidated. I constantly see toddlers who know how it works!

Snow is so pretty! We rarely see a few flakes.

Everything shuts down because we don’t know how to drive in the snow! 😆

A lot of people here don't know how to drive in the snow here either 🙄
To be fair southerners don't have plows, salters and sanders and they aren't driving with winter tires. And that heavy wet snow you get when the temperature is close to freezing is absolutely the slipperiest thing to drive on.

TV is acting up, through-the-air internet and streaming not great during these storms. Not much snow yet, but, lots of wind!

There is no fiber here. Some neighbors have century link over their land lines. My builder did not bring the cable up from the street.

I have to laugh about all the "can't drive" in snow. We are known as a Snowbird destination state and we joke that they can't drive in the sunshine December - February.

Bundle, come u r welcome. Tucson has the southern most ski resort in the USA. It just doesn't get enough snow now a days to be open much but, it is 45 minutes from my house.

We can sun bathe in the am and ski in the afternoon, if there is snow. :-) perfect set up, IMO.

This is our outdoor season and we are having winter weather, it's sad but, a nice change of pace. Rain and cold temps, brrrrrr! for the next 3 days. I don't know how we will survive;-)

When reading local news I saw that a woman had been arrested with a home made stun gun. What?!! So I went to google and sure enough there was no shortage of directions in how to make one, there's even a collection on Pinterest 🤯
(I don't know about where you all live but these are prohibited weapons here).

Still snowing. If the drift in front of a neighbor's garage, oriented about the same as mine, I probably have a four foot drift in front of my garage door. Very interesting drifts in the gardens that I can see from the windows. Electricity has remained on. All roads in this country and several neighboring ones are closed. All interstates still closed.

Glad,

As you know it is very rare for it to snow here.

I was young when one time it did snow a good bit for us. We were super excited about it! It was fun for us to see snow as children.

Daddy taught us how to build a snowman. It was the only snowman that I have ever built in my life!

Mmm - 4 ft drift. That's a lot of snow and wind. Happy your electricity is on. We haven't had an electricity outage for quite a while. Hope yours stays on. Keep warm and safe! 🔥

Blizzard warning cancelled, but winter storm still in effect. The wind is howling, we may still get another couple inches of snow. City offices already announced closure for tomorrow. Just a mess in general and will take time to clean up.

Very interesting drifting! Front yard looks like ocean waves!

Special Weather Statement has issued here, they predict we will be in the rain zone with just a few hours of freezing rain but they've been know to be wrong so I'm worried about ice followed by snow, the sky was a brilliant red this morning. And of course I (she who never goes out or does anything) have somewhere to be on Friday (nephew #3 has invited us to meet up for his birthday)

I do have a man with a skid steer that comes to push snow off my driveway. The subdivision gets someone to come plow the streets which happened last night. But with the wind overnight, he might just have to do it again. The winds are still blowing, it is still.dark, so I cannot see what happened overnight yet.

Interstate is still closed

CW ask that nephew to have someone pick you up.

The blizzard still is having major impacts. Interstate still closed, last I heard. Schools will still be closed for day 3 tomorrow. People in some areas had ten foot drifts to deal with.

Snow is still in the forecast and continuing winds. As soon as you get something cleared off, the wind will cover it up again.

So far, so good, for my driveway. My snow guy showed up early this morning. He was hoping to get out of town today. I guess he wasn't able to do that.
