This time of year it's called climate change. We only have global warming in the summer! Laughing

I have a 4th grader. He keeps me up to date on these things.

Some years ago we made our first visit to Gilbert in late July. Geez it was hot...in the evenings we would sit on the front porch (@ Gilbert House) and melt. I don't think Yampol minded the global warming after having a cold beverage
(or 2, or 3)! cheers

neither one of us lost 10 lbs though. Rolling Eyes

We got round 1 last night 6-8" snow. Now freezing rain/sleet. Then another 1-3" tonight and 1-3" tomorrow. From the local news tonight looks like Tumbleweed is going to get hammered. Course this storm didn't make the CBS news till 6:50 tonight. Now if it was NYC it would have been the first story of the night. I guess NYC snow is alot worse than midwest snow.

we got a 1/4" of freezing rain-ice last night. Then nothing after daylight until 3 pm and the freezing rain is back. trees are drooping over branches breaking.
Power outages coming later tonight probably.

I wouldn't mind it so much if we could just get enough of it to cancel work. Winters fury... 69235

Work decided to ship my Kokomo load out 5 hours early. So I just bounce around in the city. No big deal to me.
Got the plow mounted and I'll prolly plow a bit after work around midnight. Then again around 06:00. I go around the block twice to clear everyone's sidewalk. Gives me an excuse to ride!!!
