Groundhog Day?
The poor little critter, Phil. All that shouting, fanfare in Pennsylvania. Aren't they almost blind?

I briefly saw the video, but it may not have been this year's video Feb. 2nd.
Was it 6 weeks more of winter?

In California, we've got sun, snow-capped mountains, miles and miles of beaches, redwood forests-all the good stuff!

I can predict 6 more weeks of winter too without tormenting a ground hog to do it. Stupid humans.

"Tips for driving in the snow:
1. Install winter tires
2. Drive south
3. Continue until you see palm trees
4. Apply brakes & sunscreen"

We have mostly skipped winter this year, unfortunately the trade off for these milder winters seems to be an iffy spring and a slow start to summer.

Bundle,

I feel colder just hearing you describe the snow! You sound like my daughter who loves the snow. I am not fond of cold weather.

My daughter fell in love with the snow when she moved to Colorado. She moved back to Louisiana and misses the snow. She is going to take her vacation in Colorado to visit with her friends and ski in March.

The snow is beautiful. My daughter learned how to layer her clothing in Colorado. Geeeeeez, we barely need a coat during our winter season here in New Orleans.

I really hope Samara Joy, the young woman from the Bronx will win a Grammy for her Jazz performances. She is phenomenal!

I hope she shows up at our jazz festival one day. I will be there if she comes here. I’ve seen many great performances in the jazz tent.

The crime is getting crazy in our city! Now we are seeing ATM’s being stolen. It’s wild!

Stealing ATMs is old news around NHWM. Now they are driving through the closed mall to rob one of the stores

I saw that on the news Willie. They steal a car and then drive through the mall. At least they knew which store they were targeting. :)

Speaking of which - got a call from my youngest grandson to see if I could drive him to his first job interview. It has snowed a lot recently and his mum got her car stuck in their driveway. So supernan to the rescue lol.👵 Got him to his interview, did a bunch of errands and some chores at my home, went back and picked him up and took him to his home, He got the job. Yay!!! So thankful for a larger car which behaves better than a small one on snowy roads. ❄❄❄

What kind of larger car, Golden? I would think that there are many 4-wheel drives up there. There are certainly plenty here. I have a 4wd 4Runner. Love it! Especially this year. We have another storm coming in midweek, it has the attention of the meteorologists and all those that either love or hate the snow; and of course all the kids they love their snow days!

Snow days have been a topic for discussion in many school districts. With Covid tech advances some districts had gone to remote learning on snow days. Now many districts have gone back to calling snow days because of the psychological benefit of them, which I totally understand! 😁😁

Just a Buick. It's fine as long as you take it easy. Yes, lots of 4 wheel drives and half tons, and 3/4 tons here, We don't have snow days. Kids here go to school regardless.

Hoping the city's snow clearing equipment will be out full force today. The snow angels cleared my driveway last night. 😊

Being rural we get school bus cancellations whenever the weather looks iffy, on foggy mornings too. I think everyone in authority is still haunted by the memory of those epic snow storms we used to get back in the 70's when kids were trapped at school for days.

There is Colorado history about one of its epic spring blizzards that remains much talked about. It occurred about 100 miles south of here. An absolutely tragic story.

When I was in first grade my mom sent me to school on a snow day. I got to school and.nobody was there so I turned around and walked the 3-4 blocks home. Of course I am crying when I finally get there! Mom grew up in Wisconsin and said they never had snow days. Of course she felt terrible. That was in the days when kids used to be able to walk to school. Too many weirdos out there now.

My MIL had a Buick, oldie probably early 70's something. She used to call it Queen Mary. Here we have so many Buicks you would think there was a 2fer sale on them!

That looks like an interesting read Glad. I used to enjoy picking up accounts like that back when all the biographies were shelved together at the library, since the powers that be decided to hide them among the appropriate subject shelves I never even see them any more.

gladimhere, back in the day my uncle had an Olds 98 (1970?). We referred to it as either The Barge or the QM. It was massive.

Glad,

I walked or rode my bicycle to school too.

No snow days here! 🤣 We have days off for hurricanes and Mardi Gras parades!

Parades are rolling now until Fat Tuesday!

My grandpa had one of those large Cadillacs that had wings! All of those old cars were tanks! The large Olds and Buicks, oh and the Lincoln Continental cars were huge too!

We have time off school for rodeo week. It is a big deal here.

It is a sad world where kids have to be driven to the bus stop 10 houses down the street from home. We have tons of kids in our neighborhood and you never see them or hear them playing. I wonder how they will grow up.
I can't imagine never riding your bike around without constant supervision. They don't have problem solving abilities because adults are always involved. What has this world come too?
