He's a surveyor, he doesn't know, but it's ok, he's a surveyor!

Raining here.

That's a good place for it....:-P

I see on the NOAA Weather site that Northern Minnesota will be getting a hard freeze tonight. At least it'll kill all the bugs....

She just made it in, she is so excited being from Texas, I told her to let me know how it she likes it about March:-)

Her backyard about daybreak:

And no there was no snow before midnight!!

This is all coming down now, in town it's melting as it hits but she is a few hundred feet higher

95 in Kandahar:-D Right now I'm over near Iran and the wind has been blowing every afternoon like I was in Wyoming, except it's dust not snow.
Hope the horses had time to put a fuzz on, they'll need it.

Just be careful out there

you might want to share this one with her, then again, it might make her move back to Texas....


December 6 - 6:00 PM

It started to snow.
The first snow of the season and the wife and I took our cocktails and sat for hours by the window watching the huge soft flakes drift down from heaven.
It looked like a Grandma Moses Print.
So romantic we felt like newlyweds again.
I love snow!

December 9

We woke to a beautiful blanket of crystal white snow covering every inch of the landscape.

What a fantastic sight!

Can there be a lovelier place in the whole world?
Moving here was the best idea I've ever had!
Shoveled for the first time in years and felt like a boy again.
I did both our driveway and the sidewalks.
This afternoon the snowplow came along and covered up the sidewalks and closed in the driveway, so I got to shovel again.

What a perfect life!

December 12

The sun has melted all our lovely snow.

Such a disappointment!

My neighbor tells me not to worry- we'll definitely have a white Christmas.

No snow on Christmas would be awful!

Bob says we'll have so much snow by the end of winter, that I'll never want to see snow again I don't think that's possible.

Bob is such a nice man, I'm glad he's our neighbor.

December 14

Snow, lovely snow! 8 inches last night.

The temperature dropped to -20.

The cold makes everything sparkle so.

The wind took my breath away, but I warmed up by shoveling the driveway and sidewalks.
This is the life!

The snowplow came back this afternoon and buried everything again.

I didn't realize I would have to do quite this much shoveling, but I'll certainly get back in shape this way. I wish l wouldn't huff and puff so.

December 15

20 inches forecast.

Sold my van and bought a 4x4 Blazer.

Bought snow tires for the wife's car and 2 extra shovels.

Stocked the freezer.

The wife wants a wood stove in case the electricity goes out. I think that's silly.
We aren't in Alaska, after all.

December 16

Ice storm this morning.
Fell on my *** on the ice in the driveway putting down salt.
Hurt like hell.
The wife laughed for an hour, which I think was very cruel.


December 17

Still way below freezing.
Roads are too icy to go anywhere.
Electricity was off for 5 hours.
I had to pile the blankets on to stay warm.
Nothing to do but stare at the wife and try not to irritate her.
Guess I should've bought a wood stove, but won't admit it to her.
Gosh I hate it when she's right.
I can't believe I'm freezing to death in my own living room.

December 20

Electricity's back on, but had another 14 inches of the **** stuff last night.
More shoveling!
Took all day.
The **** snowplow came by twice.
Tried to find a neighbor kid to shovel, but they said they're too busy playing hockey.
I think they're lying.
Called the only hardware store around to see about buying a snow blower and they're out.
Might have another shipment in March.
I think they're lying.
Bob says I have to shovel or the city will have it done and bill me.
I think he's lying.

December 22

Bob was right about a white Christmas because 13 more inches of the white stuff fell today, and it's so cold, it probably won't melt till August.

Took me 45 minutes to get all dressed up to go out to shovel and then I had to pee.
By the time I got undressed, peed and dressed again. I was too tired to shovel.

Tried to hire Bob who has a plow on his truck for the rest of the winter, but he says he's too busy. I think the jerk is lying.

December 23

Only 2 inches of snow today
And it warmed up to 0.
The wife wanted me to decorate the front of the house this morning.
What is she, nuts?!!
Why didn't she tell me to do that a month ago?
She says she did but I think she's lying.


December 24

6 inches - Snow packed so hard by snowplow, l broke the shovel.
Thought I was having a heart attack.
If I ever catch the son of a gun who drives that snow plow, I'll drag him through the snow by his balls and beat him to death with my broken shovel.
I know he hides around the corner and waits for me to finish shoveling and then he comes down the street at a 100 miles an hour and throws snow all over where I've just been!
Tonight the wife wanted me to sing Christmas carols with her and open our presents, but I was too busy watching for the **** snowplow.


December 25

Merry freaking Christmas!
20 more inches of the **** slop tonight - Snowed in.
The idea of shoveling makes my blood boil.
****, I hate the snow!
Then the snowplow driver came by asking for a donation and I hit him over the head with my shovel.
The wife says I have a bad attitude.
I think she's an idiot.
If I have to watch "It's A Wonderful Life" one more time, I'm going to stuff her into the microwave.

December 26

Still snowed in.
Why the hell did I ever move here?
It was all HER idea.
She's really getting on my nerves.

December 27

Temperature dropped to -30 and the pipes froze; plumber came after 14 hours of waiting for him, he only charged me $1,400 to replace all my pipes.

December 28

Warmed up to above -20.
Still snowed in.
The witch is driving me crazy!!!

December 29

10 more inches.
Bob says I have to shovel the roof or it could cave in.
That's the silliest thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?

December 30

Roof caved in.
I beat up the snow plow driver, and now he is suing me for a million dollars, not only the beating I gave him, but also for trying to shove the broken snow shovel up you know where.
The wife went home to her mother.
Nine more inches predicted.

December 31

I set fire to what's left of the house.
No more shoveling.

January 27

Feel so good.
I just love those little white pills they keep giving me.
Why am I tied to the bed?

Y'all can keep that white stuff. The only "white stuff" I love is beach sand. 😉

NEW SMYRNA BEACH, FL.

Those are the biggest dogs I've ever seen. Kinda ugly though, almost look like horses. Long legs and snow are good evolutionary skills. 😉

Ain't seen snow in Sept since I lived in 'da UP of MI in mid 70's, before global warming.

Dang! In Miss'ippi, it is still in the nineties and hotter than......you-know-where. I downed almost a gallon of water and gatoraide yesterday and sweat was pouring off my shirt. I was wet down past my knees and the brim of my cap was steady dripping on my field controller.

We usually get our first frost around the end of October, and MAYBE a little snow in January or February. Otherwise, we work outside year around if it is not raining. Right now, I think I would make a good Yankee! I am ready for cooler weather!:-D
