The Blitten Shizzard hit about 4 p.m. yesterday afternoon, and it now 3:35 p.m. the following day and it's still snowing about an inch an hour. I fired up the snow blower at 11 this morning, and just walked in the door. The only time I stopped was to fill the snow blower's gas tank, and clean the spark plug, which was fouled because the first tank of gas was two years old and nasty.

In most locations of my 300-foot driveway the snow was about 18 to 24 inches deep, but there were a few drifts to 4 feet, which took quite a while to get through. Then the idiot running the county snow plow plowed 3 feet of snow into the top of my driveway just as I was finishing up, so I spend another 20 minutes clearing that mess.

I'm wet, cold, tired, and after I get some hot soup for lunch, I'm gonna fill a glass with Jim Bean Honey Bourbon and sit down in front of the gas log fireplace and relax.

Hey Donny - Tell me how much you enjoy the cold weather, NOW! How many jobs do you think will get canceled from this crap? If you were in the Florida Keys now you would be playing every night to hot babes in the restaurants and tiki bars. You can bet Eddie Shoemaker isn't shivering his butt off today.

Just one day closer to spring! C'mon April.

I just got back from a gig. It is a cool 70 degrees, but warming.

Only 46 in Ocala yes it's chilly but beats snow!! WESH-TV the Orlando NBC station reported snow flurries.

Charlie, always good to hear from you.

Hi Gary, things are different here in Hervey Bay, Queensland. It is hot, sticky and about 35C or 95F, whichever turns you on. I remember your conditions really well having lived in Fort McMurray, Alberta for 5 years. I don't miss the snow shovelling or winter tyres one little bit. Gotta go, the wife wants to go for a dip in the pool!

Cheers

Jim
