Famous Last Words?
I want to post today, but it will have to wait until later (ergo my "famous last words"). There's a late-winter storm imminent that's supposed to dump 2-7" of wet snow on us. So (!), I need to get outside to get some things done this AM before that (if it) happens!
Your dad and I have been doing the same things this morning . . . battening down the hatches, putting away tools, filling the wood box . . . in preparation for the predicted "not nice" weather. I figure if we're all set and ready for it, we will get nary a snowflake. And right now, that's just fine with me!
CR, there is NOTHING I hate more than sweating. (Well, okay, biting insects & spiders.) Sweating is . . . just GROSS! Aaagh! HATE it! So, I looooooove cold and cool weather. Anything about 70 is too hot for me!!! ;)
Funny picture of spring cleaning, especially in light of the big snowstorm predicted. I see she's not wearing pearls, but I bet she's cleaning in high heels and nylons-with a seam up the back of her leg.
You've got that one right! Okay now, those of you old enough to remember . . . or have parents from this era . . . DID women actually dress like that - at HOME?!
Whew! Glad I'm here and not in your area! I went outside today and had to come in when it got too warm in the sun. Now it's cool enough in the house that I'm thinking about starting a fire. Good luck weathering this storm. Hope it's not too bad. ~~Lori
It wasn't (too bad). Of course. I only got about 3" here at Swamp River Ridge. BUT, I was late to work two mornings later because it had rained all night on the newly-packed-down snow on the main road . . . making it WORSE than an ice-skating rink!
Well,why you up north woods people watch for the flakes to fly tell your friend Elizabeth we might be in for a good one tonight ,if the weather man is to be believed.STAY WARM,HAVE ONE OF MOMMA'S HOT TODDY'S JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE.
I love it that you posted the radar map. When we're in for a good storm, or in the middle of one, I go to our local TV station's radar and take screen shots of the radar map. They are so awesome. Hope you're staying warm!
Mollie, I'm a *TOTAL* weather nerd! One of the gals I like best at work (a "young one" at 29 years old) is a total weather freak, too, so it's very fun. Although, the mixed-rain-and-snow that was falling 2 hours south of town (and 3 hours south of me here) last night never made it up this far. Nary a drip nor flurry.
If you are familiar with me and where I live, please respect my right to retain some anonymity by not referring to me by anything other than Chicken Mama nor mentioning city/town/villages by place names. Thanks!

DeleteSO JEALOUS! We did not get one good storm this year in Mpls.

Yeah, I *AM* thankful for the halfway decent winter I got here "up over the hill" even in comparison to the rest of the county!
