Tell us what's new!

Holy Smokes Aerwin!!! For you 3 inches in really something!! Is that the most you ever had where you live? Is Colin home?

Yes he's home . Asleep of course. My sister went to Myrtle Beach , SC to run in a marathon and they got so much snow there it had to be called off.

Well I am so glad that Colin got home safe and sound! That's the most important thing!

What a bummer for your sister. So frustrating to travel for an event and then it gets canceled

This is just the oddest winter ever! Clearly Mother Nature is mad at us!

Though not as mad at us in Sugar Grove, IL as other parts of the country We have had it way better than a lot of areas. Today is sunny, calm winds and upper 20s so that's a good day! Glad because we are going out for most of the day!

My sister called me from SC yesterday, just so excited because they had 3" of snow. Weird.

Yesterday there was snow in 49 of the 50 states!

49 of the 50 states????

Yes, somewhere in 49 of the 50 states there was snow. Some students are even doing a report on it.

Wow. That is really something. Kind of hard to believe.

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day to you too Aerwin! And to all here!

We are going to get more snow tonight. I cannot believe it.

Yikes, this is so unusual for you isn't it? Do you still have the snow you got the other day?

Yes we still have some. Yep pretty unusual. I mean we normally get some ice and sleet but we have had quite a bit this year.

We are going back to the Ice Age!

So much for Global warming, huh?

That's what we keep saying here with all the snow and ice and wind

However, this weekend has been really nice! Only in the upper 20s - but very sunny, calm and dry!

I have been trying all night to compose a letter to my neighbor whose tree broke my fence and also branches came into my yard and nearly killed my dog and husband. They are using this poor teacher who sweeps snow from their driveway as a middleman to give my husband and me messages! They are assuming no responsibility when clearly they are liable! I am so mad, but my husband is not, saying they will pay for the fence that is broken and the branches that are in our yard. I am so mad at them, those two old creeps

You have every right to be so upset. It's too bad that they won't even speak with you and try to work things out. I hope you get them to settle up and get things fixed the way it should be.

When I heard the neighbors response to the pictures we sent them, I was so upset that I had a panic attack I was awake the whole night stewing. It is a good thing that my husband remains calm during emergencies because I immediately get upset. The law is on our side, so I really should not be worried,

AIH I'm sorry your neighbors are being such jerks about things. That's just terrible.

They are very rich old geezers!!!

Sometimes, that's the kind of people that are the hardest to deal with on things like this. Take deep breaths and hang on for the ride. You'll get the outcome you want.

Thanks, Sky
