That storm hit us yesterday. I have 5" of new snow on the ground.

There's another system following. We're expecting another 3-6".

Looks like I will be giving my snow blower a workout, too.

I use Aqua Net, spraying it like I would when using aerosol cans.

The recent round of storms has missed us, going to the south. I haven't used my snow blower in a week.

Ya, heard that, Wed afternoon.

I don't buy too much from them, mostly CA and hardware.

If they don't come out of bankruptcy, I'll need to find a new supplier for those items.

My son, who lives in Phoenix, called today. He spent most of the conversation in trying to get us to move to that area.
