We had snow two nights back. Booooh

 

[302BOB]

TMS.......Snow is a four letter word I don't touch with a ..........anything anymore.........It looks so nice falling, but shoveling it is something I can't do anymore......Kids, now-a-days are too lazy to offer to shovel your place................I made my spending money back in the day mowing lawns in the summer and shoveling snow in the winter.........There were no video games back then.........

 

[TMSBOSS]

Bob

This will be my first winter since 05-06. We shall see how well I make it through our “Winter Wonderland”.

 

[302BOB]

TMS...Good luck...........It's not like when we were kids anymore........I found out the hard way last year...........It sure is pretty watching it snow............from inside, tho................

We had snow two nights back. Booooh

We had snow 2 days ago - first 2” melted off the grass and cars as the sun came but not the next 2” - stuck around till yesterday

 

[302BOB]

Dragoon..I know you like the changing seasons in WI as much as me in Ct...............winter is not why I stay here as I get older............no argument from Hon, either...........I'll never forget the blizzard of February 1978....I went to work that morning because nothing was going on at 5AM.........back then , you didn't have all the warnings and other things you have now.The snow started after 9:30 and by 11 it was coming down bad...... That's when I left work and went to my Parent's house to put chains on my rear tires to get home.The heaviest snow I ever seen was falling!!!!!!!!!....Me and Dad got the chains on and I left a little after 12 to make it home.......a usual 15 minute ride..................Driving conditions got much worse as I drove on.....the windshield wipers couldn't keep up with the heavy snow.........I felt brave with the chains on, but I was getting scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!............I finally got off the exit on the highway.........after 2 hrs!!!!!!!!!....only to be in a line of cars waiting to go up a hilly street I needed to travel on.....................chains on your car don't matter if nobody else has them on theirs!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........I finally made it home an hour later, just barely!!!!!!!!!.......and the state was closed down soon after that........Man, I wouldn't wish that ordeal on my worse enemy...........but then again............just so you know......my car that saved me that day was a 1965 Plymouth Fury 3 .....318CU.....Thank God for that car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........over 18" of snow fell with that storm.............. drifts 4-5 ft.. https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/connecticut/blizzard-of-1978-ct/

 

[302BOB]

Still shivering from memories of that 78 blizzard!!!!!!!!..........hindsight ( which is 20/20).....I would have NEVER left the house that day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!............I enjoyed having the Boys over yesterday!!! They enjoyed grumpy grandpa as much as I enjoyed them!!!!!!!!!!...........a day I will cherish!!!!!!!!!!!!............Animals are A LOT smarter than us dumb humans give them credit for...........even my squirrels (Skippys) in the back yard.........I even have a red cardinal who answers my call.........for a peanut...............

 

[302BOB]

TGIF for all you folks that ain't retired yet.....that's a blessing I've been enjoying for 8 plus yrs..........." A Permanent paid vacation"......a blessing many will never see either by death or simply not being able to afford leaving their job...........OH Boy I enjoy every moment I have of being retired......it's a gift from God that I cherish EVERY day.....The Boss is just a bonus that I get to enjoy along the way....................Lord Jesus rides with me ................He lets me drive.......................
