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. 😊

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! 😁😁

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. ❄❄❄

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. :)

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

TN, agreed. As I started to read your post I started to wonder about the boys. Happy they are doing well, we hadn't heard about them for awhile.

I'm sick to my stomach! A child was kept in a windowless box trailer (usually 6'x10') with a bucket toliet and a space heater; taken outside to a hot tub for a weekly bath, fed poptarts and spaghetti. When CPS found him, he had frostbite on both feet; one was infected and had to be amputated below the knee!

On the other hand, more than 40 dogs were well cared for.

The mom's boyfriend didn't want the kid in the house.

How does anyone treat their child this way?

A few weeks back when we had some rolling power outages my heat pump would trip the breaker and not restart when the power was restored (until I replaced a bad breaker). My house dropped to 56 one night. The boys put a couple of extra quilts on the bed and slept through. The next night I placed a ceramic heater in their room and kept the temperature in the upper 60s in spite of the house dropping lower. I worried about them staying warm in a well insulated house. How does anyone let their child suffer frostbite while they sleep in a nearby warm house? Not even let them inside for a bath or a meal?

She and the boyfriend sit in a warm jail (no one is bailing them out) getting 3 meals a day. I wish we could lock them in the trailer they kept the boy in for about 20 years!

OMG! The excitement here this morning! And I am sure we will see some of that from Hoda this morning too! Maybe she will now become a Broncos fan?

Glad,

Hoda lived here and was a local broadcaster at one time. She married a UNO professor here. They divorced years ago.

Yeah, I like Hoda too. She is a huge Saints fan.

I am familiar with the Saints and their accomplishments because Hoda Kotb loves them so. I think she was born there. She was so proud and just absolutely loves Drew! She was so fun to watch on the Today Show, she sure talks them up!

Glad,

I love Payton. Broncos are fortunate to get him.

Geaux Saints! 2010 Super Bowl! Our entire city rejoiced. After Katrina, we needed that game to cheer us up! Payton and Drew were our
heroes!

I took my kids to the championship parade afterwards and it was more crowded than our Mardi Gras parades!

My youngest daughter caught beads from Drew and was thrilled to death! He and Sean were bombed, but Drew still had great aim! LOL 😆 He pointed to my daughter and threw a ton of beads straight at her.

I don’t think any player on the floats were sober! Our city celebrated for a long time!

I remember when our team was really bad. We jokingly called them the ‘Ain’ts’ and wore paper bags over our heads due to being embarrassed! Hahaha…Sean whipped them into shape!

Benson at one time had a voodoo priestess come in before a game to perform a ritual. That was hilarious. We are die hard fans though and show up for the games. Saints fans cheer louder than any other team.

When they named their team, The New Orleans Saints, they asked our archbishop if he felt the name was offensive to the church. The archbishop said, “No, it’s not offensive, but just remember that the saints have gone through many trials and tribulations before they overcame.” That was certainly true for our football team!

Broncos management sure took their sweet time about it! Relieved that they finally made up their minds and will have a positive impact next season!

It was such an important news item here, as soon as it happened there was a crawler across the bottom of the tv screen.
