    Winters arent usually this bad though. Theres snow and all but not this much. And never the winds that are around at the moment making some areas blizzard like and making huge snow drifts that are several feet deep. Lol.
    Yep, we got an entire winter's worth of snow in about 3 weeks I'm tired of it--it snowed again last night, and I still have about 2 feet in the yard, and about 4-5 feet of snow piled either side of the driveway. Seriously, this crap isn't melting but keeps coming. When it does melt, the weight of the snow causes it to pack into ice.

    But, the worst storm I remember, was back in the early 1990s. 1990-91 was hard. That year, some of us were up in the mountains. There was already 3 feet of snow up there. That weekend, the blizzard hit. Ever see a minivan get buried in a 7-foot drift? Took all day to dig that thing out...and a trip home that normally would have taken less than 2 hours...took well over 3. Most roads were empty and littered with stuck cars. Once home, we didn't leave our street for a week! Trust me, trying to deliver newspapers in that sucked.

    Also remembered, was one in '79. That one sticks out, because it wasn't supposed to snow as much as it did. Late storm, meant that Mom's VW station wagon (a proper one, with the engine in the tail ) didn't have snow tires. Not wanting to risk an accident, she left the car at home, and picked me up at nursery school...with a sled

      Ask Bella about the time I called her a couple of years ago to tell her it was snowing.

      I think she might've forgiven me by now.

      I remember that. It was when Milwaukee had that record snowfall season.

      I...guess...I've forgiven you.

      Oh, and your tool box called...you got out again.
