    Yeppers, just got done updating my credit union web site (from home) for tomorrow's closure. Somehow we've managed to maintain power.

    This is a MAJOR event for Oklahoma.

    I had a huge drift at the back door that I had to dig thru just to get the dogs out to p.......,well, you know. Had to fish one of the dogs out of the pool as she tried to 'cut' across and avoid the drifts. Ice was too thin. Got her in and warmed, and she is doing fine.

    Not looking forward to the cold temps.

    Now to tick you all off. I am in the foothills, 1800 Ft. eval. of Northern CA. For the past week we have had sunny days in the 60's. Had one night of rain, sunday night and back to sunny days and blue skies. That one rainy night was the storm that went though here and headed East to dump all that snow.

    Our snow pack in the higher mountains is well above average and will give us plenty of water in the coming spring and summer. We might just sell some of it to Southern CA..

    It's 22 below zero right now here in central Wyoming, but at least there's no wind. When the wind finally comes, it will warm up. Just glad to be inside right now!

    This has been one strange winter! I live in far northern Maine where we are just about begging for snow and we're going to miss this big one too! All of the big storms have been south of us and there's just barely enough snow for snowmobiling and skiiing. Bangor, Maine is 2 feet above their snowfall average for this time of year and Caribou is 2 feet below normal. We have two world cup biathlon events, one in Presque Isle this week-end and the other in Fort Kent next week-end, pretty big deals for Aroostook County, Maine, and they've had to make snow for those events. We'll probably get ours in March and April.

    Snow? Pfffft! I woke one morning to 46" of "partly cloudy"!!!

    Everything is shut down here, the cowards. I'll be in the woods today, assuming I'm not flat on my back in a snowdrift fixing something. It's winter, nothing new.

    i'm not sure where the brite side is but out here on the open plains ( and yup in the blizzard (which is/was a small one by most standards ...) most our snow blows to parts further south but that blowin part is unrelenting and cuts rite thru ya no matter how many layers one wears , i think the brite side is also the downside , it's cold enough not to melt and it was a dry snow so even tho i dug some out i'll have to redig it out again later , they state that the winds should taper of to a breeze later this evening ( BTW ? around here a breeze is about 20-25 MPH - it's not a wind until it gets to about 35+ and that's what we had yesterday ) ya'll stay safe ! my pup seems to waste no time smellin' stuff in this stuff taking care of biz is a record breaking proposition for her ( and i cant say i blame the poor shorthaired old girl )

    Those of you impacted by this storm have my sincere sympathy and best wishes. We had a somewhat bad day here in Southern Calif, it only got up to 61 deg and will not get back to the mid 70s until friday.But all that aside please stay safe we are all in this together.

    Man! Around here this morning it feels like winter in a place where they actually have winter. 28 degrees and 20 mph winds. That's downright chilly for "The Valley Of The Sun". I actually used the heated seats in my truck this morning. Oh, well. It'll be back to normal in a few days.

    Regards,

    True global warming, not the political hype, is happening and it causes changes in weather and extreme weather, not everybody getting warm.

    It's going north of us, gonna be in the 70's here today and in the 40's tomorrow!
