Not much to do with a blizzard raging out side all night, into this morning. 8" of new snow, and 50 mph winds have the visibility down to maybe a hundred yards or so. The Wind is predicted to blow like this all day today, till around sun down..

Once the wind lies down the clean up will begin. I have a feeling the 9' 4wd diesel snow blower in my back yard will get a work out, something it has not done in several years.

The weather forecasters did not over state this storm as they have so many times before. So for them, it is about time they got it right...…

Regards, Kirk

We didn't get the snow overnight they were predicting. It is very windy here. There's still a chance that we'll get snow snow today. Like we really need more.

Canadian eh!!!

I didn't go to mass today.
Either I drive and risk a tree or debris hitting my car, or I walk arriving looking like someone drug me through a bush backwards.

Very windy here to. Thankfully no more precip for the next few days. Wind should help dry things out. Taking the UTV out for a ride on the back trails this afternoon.

I was just out last week checking on my utv. It's still in winter hibernation under that grey tarp.

Sitting here listening to the wind gust and howl. Hoping that the power doesn't go out. Thinking about a foster Parent I used to work with that passed away this morning from complications to a liver surgery he had 2 days ago. They found a tumor on his liver and attempted to remove it along with part of his liver.

That could have been me when my liver was nearly cut in half.

Yay. No appointments for two days in a row. What will I ever do with myself? On today's agenda is to clear the driveway which should be a lovely mess as it rained Saturday night forming a nice layer of slush before it snowed. Now it's -21 with a windchill of -37. Oh well. The lawn won't need mowing till the end of June.

I'm meeting with the company I bought my car from. I complained about a torque converter while it was under warranty but they blew me off. Now it's getting worse and not under warranty. They want to keep my business, so they are kind enough to sit down and try and make it right with me. We'll see.

Didn't do a whole lot today. But stayed busy. I had a craving for fresh walleye this morning so I took a drive to the reservation to get cheap gas and a breakfast of eggs and walleye. Yummy. Went for coffee with friends from the gym. Came home and prepared chicken, macaroni salad and ceasar salad for my sons birthday.

Spent the morning moving snow from yesterday's blizzard. Not a ton of snow, but deep drifts. Temps were single digits above zero with a steady 20 mph wind down from yesterdays 50mph.

Yes, I did freeze my friggin; ass off. :yum:

Woke up this morning and it was misty/damp/wet. Didn't do much. It broke just after noon, the clouds broke and I headed in to John Deere for a new battery for the Gator. While I was there I ate lunch. Stopped at Ace Hardware on the way home. It started to drizzle again just as I arrived. Changed in to work clothes and went outside to install new battery. Whoever designed this Gator should be shot. I changed the oil and filter on it once and swore that I would never do it again. Removing the old battery and installing the new wasn't that bad but it sure was awkward. Shit, they don't make anything easy.

After that I shut things down for the day. It's back to misty/damp/wet. I'm so tired of this weather.

Busy day today. I had a foster parent training session this morning followed shortly after by physio. One ended at 12:30 and the other started at 12:40 at the other end of the city. This afternoon my lovely wife and I had physicals with our family doctor for the adoption. That was the final thing we had to do to start the adoption process. Now it's a mandatory 6 month probation period followed by all the legal stuff in court to finalize things.

Oh. And the day started out with yet another bomb threat at the high school down the street. That's the third time in February. They still don't know who is making the threats so they have to take it seriously. Our kids schools went on lockdown again.

Spent the morning shopping around for various assistive devices for me. I'm looking for a wheelchair for days when I can barely stand because of lack of circulation in my legs and feet. Also a heated vest and blanket as my circulation sucks now. My legs and feet are always freezing. The heated vest is for my back. I spent the afternoon bundled up in front of the electric fireplace trying to warm up.

Picked up the truck on Friday. Not too bad a shape for age and miles, which were less than advertised. Some good some bad. More in the truck forum 2B posted tomorrow.

Got to the house Friday night to find the power turned off and the Oil tank empty. House was 35 %F. His backup generator had not been test run for two years and would not start. Ran to LOWES and bought a 7500 Watt Generator and some oil filled electric heaters. Got the house to 55%F by about 4:00 AM Saturday morning.

Power came on Monday. But the oil and Propane did not arrive until Tuesday when we finally got to take a hot shower.

Everything in the Fridge and Freezer was ruined. The place was a mess and we spent most of Saturday and Sunday on kitchen cleanup and stripping the floors of carpet, pad, and staples. It's ready for him to lay down underlayment plywood and laminate wood floors.

Loaded up the box trailer with furniture, appliances and lawn equipment. Also on Tuesday we picked up the boat at the marina (four flat tires) and brought it back behind his new truck.

We bugged out Wednesday at noon for the long trip home. A 24 hour journey with it's own set of challenges including, an incredibly surly cop in Pennsylvania, bad trailer lights and a blow out in Ohio at 1:30 in the morning on I-70. No spare on the boat trailer (stolen at the Marina along with the license plate. Seized lug nuts as well. All at temperatures in the low 20's

Quite and adventure but, we made it home to St. Louis and it's ice storm Thursday morning about 8:00.

I took a nap until about 4:00 today. Busy day Friday at work so we will unload on Saturday.
