It's 22° and cloudy in the backyard this morning. The sky was a brilliant red when I first looked out the front windows this morning, but snow showers are now clouding up the skies. We're in the 18-24" snow band forecast now - we'll see if that really materializes.
lorando - I went to the supermarket yesterday and it was packed! I guess everyone was prepping for the impending snow. I just called Geisinger to see if I can get in before my scheduled appointment at 11 and the answer was "no". Figure I'll still leave home at 10 and get there about 20 minutes early, hoping to get in the office early and back on the road before it starts to really snow at noon.
munchkinsmom - it is amazing how time flies - wait until you get to be my age and you won't believe how fast it goes by. Hey, didn't you have a dog named Body? If so, how is he doing?
johnmori - good morning John.
Have a great day everyone!

Hi niaw, well this was a rough year. Bode was diagnosed with lymphoma while Mark was in Boston (back in Feb). By the time Mark got home Bode had died (October). In August I had spoken with a friend (who has a rescue) and she had a black GSD who had been shot and she was looking to home him. So, his name is Caleb and he is now with us and 1 year old. Mark is getting the COVID vaccine today. I'll let you know how it goes. And right now it's snowing like crazy outside (we're predicted about 6-9 inches and it's 29 degrees). Oh, and my car died the end of July and Story just got her first car. What a year! So catch me up!

It's 25° and partly sunny in the backyard this morning. According to EyeWitness News, Mville got 22" of snow last night. I measured in multiple places 23/almost 24" of a fluffy snow. Too deep to plow the driveway, so I put the Jeep in 4WD and made a path to the road where a 3' pile of snow met me. After the neighbor pulled me out of it with his truck and made the path a little wider, but I still can't get the tractor to plow - guess it will have to melt.
wb6yyz - I know you got at least as much as we did, if not more. Hope you get out ok.
munchkinsmom - sorry to hear about Bode. I think I remember when you got him. Well, now you have Caleb! Please tell Mark "good luck" for me. We went camping 2½ times this Summer - our club met a few times, but we stayed away. The ½ time was because my better ½ did something to her foot and couldn't walk, so we went home the next morning (vs a week later). No grandkids to see this year due to COVID, but we're planning on driving out to see them (in Eugene) and our #2 son (in Portland) if COVID has calmed down.
lorando - I got out of Geisinger at 11:30 and headed west on I-80. Light snow started about 11:45, but it was really coming down by the time I got home to M'ville. Later in the afternoon I read that there was a 30 - 60 car pile up on I-80 about 20 miles west of where I get off (2 fatalities). From what I hear I-80 is still closed in that section. Jeep is still alive and well (86000+ miles).
Have a great day everyone and stay warm!

Hi wain,
Nice to see you back, sabob was asking about you. He's in Florida. It's 28 in Clarion and we got about 10 inches of snow. It was very easy to shovel as it was light and fluffy. I was shoveling today with no jacket, just a tee shirt and gloves, no hat. The sun was shining brightly with little wind and I didn't have the slightest chilly feeling. I even went for a couple of short walks to check things out.
