Fortunately, today's job was early enough to dodge the oncoming blizzard, but tomorrow night's job was rescheduled for the 20th. And, next week, NOAA weather is calling for snow again on Tuesday. Damned it's cold up here. Gotta' mix up a fresh batch of Kickapoo Joy Juice for the Super Bowl.

Cheers,

Sunny and dry for the next week or so...

I'd stay of the kickapoo joy juice if you want to see the second half (the one where the Saints come from behind to win!). That one you mixed for me had quite a kick...

You really know how to hurt a guy, don't you. Just finished the driveway for the third time. It finally stopped snowing, the sun peeked out for a few minutes, and hopefully, Mother Nature will take care of the remaining snow, which measures just under three feet.

And yes, I wish DonM and the all the other wonderful folks down south could enjoy this as well. My wife no longer says she likes the change of seasons. When you get to our age, 70 to 80 degrees is all the change you want to enjoy. And, when you have a tall Margaretta and sitting beneath the sailboat's Bimini top, 90 ain't all that bad either.

Cheers,

C'mon down. I have some great ski trails behind the house where you could get in some cross country skiing. A week earlier they were called deer trails.

Today, before the football game, the car has to be dug out. Gotta' go back to work Monday, and the weatherman is calling for a 40 percent chance of snow again on Tuesday. Diki is probably cracking up reading this, and I'll bet he's playing outdoors in a Tiki Bar tonight.

Just another fun day in Paradise,

Nighttime in the 30-40 range, daytimes in the 50-60's. But what do you expect with the Saints in the Superbowl?! Even Satan now has a cross country skiing trail outside his back door...

I guess the tough part is not being able to get to those jobs where I'm scheduled for the remainder of the week. The snow plow finally arrived yesterday evening about 5:00 and pushed a 3-foot pile of snow in front of my driveway. Spent another hour getting rid of it with the snow blower, then cleared some for the neighbors until game time.

Steve, I have a pretty good slope from the top of my lawn down to the creek, about 700 feet, but no chair lift to bring you back up the hill, which is fairly steep. And, if you don't stop on the flats on this side of the creek, well, that water is colder than a tall glass of Kickapoo Joy Juice.

I'm going out with the camera and shoot some photos, then try to figure a way to post them.

Cheers,

HEADLINE: Al Gore's Blizzard 2010 buries mid-Atlantic region in 2 to 3 feet of snow--more to come.

Belly deep ain't fun, even for the deer.
