No power outage here. That is the fantastic news. The really really good news is at my age I can only share so much body heat. No pictures.

RKD was kind enough to drop by in his Rover to smash down the drifts in front of my driveway and to take me on a BEER-RUN!

Thanks Richard!

This is a picture of the front foyer at my office building. The manager came in just to do payroll. Now that is a manager to be happy about. That is the snow blown inside the door. The drifts in front of the building are three feet high. No vehichle has yet to make it down the road in front of our building.



I will post some other snow photos soon.

Here are some photos of my SNOWMAGADDON!


Next to my storage building.





That is a 4 ft tall fence. That is the house across the street.



In the west part of the yard.

I took a bottle of beer outside with me to shovel the snow. The beer did not help shovel at all.

I shoveled for 45 minutes and my mustache kept freezing. Ouch!

The beer started to freeze after a few minutes. I was forced to drink it before it froze up.

I am ready for March!!!

That's OK, the next time there is a flood, earthquake, mud slide, fire, etc... in Travis' area, we'll gently remind him of that post!

No need for google, I've been told this before. lol

I do feel for you guys though, and I hope everyone stays warm and safe. Mudslides and earthquakes don't scare me as much as the politicians, massive debt, nazi-like restrictions on everything, illegal immigration and ever-increasing taxes. Weather is the only thing CA has going for it.

Howdy nynor.

How cold is it ?

It's so cold that chickens are rushing into Kentucky Fried Chicken and begging to use the cooker!

not so bad. i think it was more like 6F this morning, rather than the predicted -3. the wind stopped blowing, that made a huge difference. it did only get to about 20F this afternoon, but it is supposed to warm up again to the mid 30's during the day.
