What about Central IL? It snowing like cats and dogs and it doesn't look like the ice that could take the power lines down is up here, just snow. I might see what happens when I let the dog play ball in the snow.
Yeah, now it's mostly just snow. Earlier today there was a mix, but now its all snow. Still, it's kinda freaky after taking a nap and waking up and looking out the window to a white out.
A nap? A NAP??? You are too young to get naps sir. I guess you're going sledding tonight, good luck with that.
Bah, I'm just making up for lost time as a little kid when I hated taking naps. One of the follies of being a little kid, not appreciating having extra sleep. Though you are right, there is a huge hill not far from my house that I might have to take advantage of later.

Of course it's been a few years down here but I've got a 3 block long sled run that starts on my side street one block up. You have to have a spotter for turn one, blind corner but fast. When it's icy we have to bank off the neighbors yard, she doesn't mind as long as we fix it in the spring.

Well he's a westie I don't believe there is ever a time in which they are cold or tired of the snow, unless it's up in the nether regions then they're not too happy.

Yep, dog, I got olives. When I dismounted the tractor at the grocery and went in the check out girl just shook her head. When I put 2 jars of olives and a large bag of birdseed on the counter she told me congratulations I won the grand prize for fool of the day!

Yep, sgb it is as peaceful as it looks. I am so fortunate to be able to wake up in this valley every morning. Being in the valley is keeping me from getting a lot of the wind that is raising Cain up the hill. I took more pics but that is like someone saying "let me show you pics from our vacation!" but here is one more. It is a picture of Lake roy form the dam.

NC, haven't seen Oz since the "rash" incident but mom is out splitting wood right now. She loves her 12 lb splitting maul.

The '82 blizzard brings about fond memories. I was splitting time between the Lou and Indy and was moving full time to the Lou. Lease was up in Indy and I was having a blowout bye-bye party. Invited 4 pals from KC. I was in Stl in my RX7 when the blizzard hit. Tried to drive to Indy. Got about a mile and a half. Abandoned car. Called cab. Waited over 2 hours for cab to Lambert. Flight I happened to get on was same one 4 buds from KC were on! Party huge success. Damage deposit inadequate!!

Them was the days!

I noticed today that Decatur's snow trucks were white. That's just plain dumb, in a white out like right now you won't be able to see them.

City of Springfield, IL has officially closed down. Only emergency trucks are allowed on the roads. Now seems like the perfect time for me for my bottle of Jack to get to know each other a little better.

Sorry I'm not trying to be....... oh I don't know. Roy your place reminds me of my friends 40 in E.Wa. Maybe I can find a way to vist when I visit

Uh-uh keep talking Seattle. We may be freezing, covered in snow, sleet and whatever else mother nature throws at us this week, but we are close to STL and Busch. That's a thought that'll always keep me warm. :P
