Great pic of a serene, wint'ry clime, Jafo! Makes me long for Alaska!

Here in central Illinois we've had small snows of 2-5 inches since just before Thanksgiving...

We also got that goofy ice storm yesterday that plagued the whole heartland region. Greatly affected driving. Also par for the course- downed powerlines, ravaged trees/limbs/branches, etc. Plus the resulting slush as it warmed and melted clogged all the sewer & drain lines so the water pooled deeply on streets and roads. YUCH! Our hope now is that all the standing water has a chance to properly disappear before tomorrow night when the forecast calls for ONE degree! Otherwise it's gonna be skating-rink city!

about 4 or 5 inches and 2 sick kids cooped up in the house:eek:

got a couple feet - no mercury in the thermometer - it went south where it's warmer - now its the calm before the storm - over another foot tonight

grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Howdy rikkib...

...and WELCOME! What a pleasure to have new folks stop by! We're a fine bunch that always enjoys meeting new people and making new friends. I think you'll find we're a diverse bunch- with varied backgrounds and multiple interests. C'mon in, let us take your coat- help yourself to a cuppa hot chocolate and make yourself at home!

We have gotten at least another foot of snow since last night.. Boys are shoveling like crazy lol.

Mama, we must not be far apart lol. I am about 30 miles N of Utica..
