Well, I am heading out to meet my friends for coffee and then shopping.

No driving in the snow for me! LOL 😆

Enjoy your evening, everyone!

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! 🔥

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!

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.

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).

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;-)

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.

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.

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.

Glad,

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

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

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!

Glad.

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

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.

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.

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!

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

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.

cw,

I want the transporter too! I loved watching Star Trek as a kid.

I always wanted to be able to twitch my nose like Samantha on Bewitched! Or blink like Genie did on I Dream of Genie! LOL

I also wanted to have a nanny like Mary Poppins! I loved reading the book as a child and seeing the movie. The scene where she tidied up Jane and Michael’s room with her magic was so cute. I wanted her to come help me clean up my room! LOL 😆

Sounds stressful!

I hope they are able to remain on schedule and that the construction work will be completed as soon as possible.

Ha! my angry post must have nudged the fates because shortly after posting I got a visit from a man in a white hard hat. They are going to bring in a load of gravel so I can get my car out because surprise (not!) once they pour the sidewalks it would be another week before I could cross them. They are also cutting back my driveway so they can decrease the slope and will pour that next spring. I can't help but wonder if any of that would have happened if I hadn't asked for a supervisor to come by.

I sitting here ruminating about the road construction and getting increasingly angry because it looks like they flat out lied to me about when I would be able to get my car out of my driveway. They've lowered the level of the street by almost a foot which leaves my concrete driveway hanging, plus they are prepping now to lay sidewalks. I asked for a visit from a site manager but it seems nobody is working but the drones, who of course can only do what they are told.
I really need a distraction before I give myself a stroke ....... Grrrrrr 😡😡😡

Blizzard watch was actually a winter storm watch. However, the prediction has now become a blizzard warnimg. Sounds like we will be severely pounded!I

I love these storms when I don't have to get out in them.

Went to Wally World got another Dutch oven. Now get to store for chili ingredients. Hope I can remember the recipe, books are packed. Make sure I have necessary storage containers and utensils to make it an serve it. Oh, and crud, a soup mug too!
