    I’m getting hit hard here Yorkshire, but you look like you’re in a globall warming blizzard.

    We’re well past a foot and going for two.

    Yorkshire, you’re supposed to turn the thrower away from you, ya knucklehead. And wipe that smile off your face, this is serious business. (There, did that sound like something a father would say?)

    LOL, that was my wife behind the blower. Her first try. I don’t think it would work well with me driving it from a wheelchair. I think it would eat my other leg. :-)

    I snoveled the show a little bit ago; we’ve only got two inches of global warming in Jim Thorpe, at least so far, light, powdery stuff.

    I just checked, our little snow machine has been working 24 hours+ giving us at least 20 inches. At least it produced a few pictures. The best investment of the year paid for iself tonight. One neighbor moved this summmer and had a yard sale. She had a $900 snow blower for $350. My neighbor spotted it and we both paid half. Nice wide machine. Electric start. Self propelled.

    After the cat was tossed in the snow, he wanted back in the house right a way.

    The storm is over, and I finished digging Elaine’s car out so that she could go to work. :( Well, I guess that they can’t close hospitals just because of the weather.

    We had 2½ inches of light, powdery snow at the Official Jim Thorpe Snow Measuring Station: the roof of my truck. At 0500 in the morning, I wouldn’t have used the snow blower unless it was necessary, and it sure wasn’t today. The borough has been out plowing the roads, and the side streets are a bit slick, but passable, Fortunately, there are only a couple of side streets to negotiate before Elaine gets on the main roads to work.

    Pluto keeps wanting to go out, but she doesn’t stay long.

    You’re lucky in Jim Thorpe. I was blessed with 20″ of pure crap. I have a snow guy coming (I hope). I certainly am not shoveling anything. I’ll stay in all week before I shovel. I closed the restaurant yesterday and today so my employees can dig out theselves and their families. Plus I don’t want them driving in this crap and getting into a problem just to serve a few lunches or dinners. I hope to be able to open tomorrow. The main roads are okay but my street is bad. The real bad part is clearing the sidewalk. I’m on a corner so I have about 200 feet of sidewalk on each side. I just got a cell call from a buddy. He told me to keep my COPD butt inside he’s coming over with his kid to dig us out. I better start the hot chocolate and Irish coffee going.
