I know you folks on the east coast have been hammered by snow. My in-laws live in so. Vermont, and they've gotten a lot, but I believe NYC has gotten more.Big Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713190395281794960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-49902918347574585952011-02-14T08:27:45.403-08:002011-02-14T08:27:45.403-08:00SM: I hope you feel better and that your street, ...SM: I hope you feel better and that your street, if it's not cleared, at least looks like a tobaggan run. At least you can ride that with studded tires!<br /><br />Big Oak: I know we haven't been alone in having a harsher-than-normal winter. But I'd rather hear about it from people like you who are experiencing it than from official reports!Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-61024594420102223782011-02-14T03:41:43.013-08:002011-02-14T03:41:43.013-08:00I'm from northeast corner of Indiana, just nor...I'm from northeast corner of Indiana, just north of Fort Wayne.Big Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713190395281794960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-33441777386648081212011-02-13T16:07:46.998-08:002011-02-13T16:07:46.998-08:00Nice that you got out for a spin.

We had some fierce cold wind here too.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12235831374184428641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-22381729843331717822011-02-13T08:57:38.372-08:002011-02-13T08:57:38.372-08:00Big Oak (I love that name!): There must be some c...Big Oak (I love that name!): There must be some corollary to Murphy's Law regarding batteries in cameras!<br /><br />Whatever gives us life also gives us whatever comes with life, whether it's hot or cold weather, or sun or snow. When I think of it that way, it makes sense that the wind would give us life. Maybe I'm really a Lakota manque.<br /><br />Where are you, anyway? This week, we've had our first above-freezing temperatures since at least Christmas.Justine Valinottihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10852069587181432102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8908461644259659419.post-87191212651059010962011-02-13T05:48:27.374-08:002011-02-13T05:48:27.374-08:00Why is it the camera battery is dead when you need...Why is it the camera battery is dead when you need it most? Especially frustrating after you've carried it along, waiting for that special shot, then nothing.<br /><br />I like the Lakota saying you quoted. Not only did it give us life, it is giving us warmth today, as a moderate southwesterly has brought the temp above 32F for the first time in a long time!
