Here in Southern Ontario, it is clear, sunny and cold. They are talking close to zero F. every night into the first of next week. Yeah, spring is here too. Did see some robins and read wing blackbirds though, so that's a good sign. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

58° here Thursday and they're saying a high of 61° today. Partly sunny and light breeze.


Now,........... chances are very good we'll see more snow, ice, wind, etc.................. but probably not until the Friday we leave for VF! http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif Our worst-ever ice storm came on Good Friday in 1979.

Hope Mr. Ashton has been going to church this year. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

It was nice enough here on Tuesday for me to get my Camaro out for 70 miles of freeway excercise. I had forgotten how nice that car is crusing at freeway speeds for over an hour. L35 purred like a happy lion.

You may have a package arriving shortly in sunny Arizona so that you do not feel left out.....Lets just say they are in the shape of snowballs, about the same consistency as snow balls but are made from several organic items found on the ground and when digested they form a nice round object better known to us midwesterners as "road apples". http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif

Since I posted this, we have gotten at least another 3-4". I just snowplowed the driveway and it is about 9-12" deep! It was close to sixty just a couple of days ago. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/no.gif

I just got done clearing a 2 foot drift so I could get my truck up the drive. Somehow I thought this week I could open the garage up.

Look out Ohio I think its headed your way. I hear It's raining 60 miles south of here.

Left at 6 a.m. this morning with all the Kid's and Grandkids (13 people total).......going to Orlando for a week........when we left there was no snow.....when we arrived at the Milwaukee Airport (6:40 a.m.).......it was just starting to snow......our flight was supposed to leave at 8:40......got on the plane and sat for two hours (They closed the Airport) until they finally cancelled the flight....Had a week booked at Universal Studios.......after all the cancellations we were finally able to get seats on a Monday afternoon flight to Orlando.....Universal was pretty cool about everything and moved our room reservations from Today (Friday)to Monday at No Charge......Since everything was prepaid they could have charged us for Friday thru Monday as being no shows......I thought that was very nice $$$$$$..........anyhow, here are some "Exciting" pic's from today......LOL

Last night at this time I was putting the Nova on jack stands in the garage after a run into town to put some 93 octane in it to freshen up the fuel. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/headbang.gif
