What a nightmare driving this afternoon, roads closed due to flooding, some not closed but traffic stopped because it was deep. Electric lost, glad this Monday's over with, I usually stay in Mondays but couldn't today.
That red is just the type of tree it is, it's not a super hard wood so they break easily in high winds, terrible firewood. It's a box elder tree, they're all red like that inside.
It has been quite a while since we tracked a big storm for most of the area, we're way overdue. If we can get snow the first week in Jan and it stays and we can start building a pack, that would be sweet.
If you drove another 3-4 miles to the high spot in Charlton it would have been unreal, they got 36 inches of wind shipped snow, my sister couldn't get out her front door because the snow had drifted so high.
I lost power for 7 days, couldn't work so I lost money there and just hung out in front of my wood stove with my dogs. Took showers and ate at my brothers and restaurants. It sucked.
Wolfie, don't take this weather stuff so seriously, it's gonna do what it's gonna do no matter what we think or say, no reason to get upset with others.
I remember one year when I was in high school, maybe 76 or 77 we had a decent storm on the 21st or 22nd with a cold arctic air front moving in and blowing the snow around, just great timing that year for a white Christmas,
