You call that miserable ? We got up to snow on the ground and low 20's ,
snowed all night and all morning and the roads are covered and more of the
same coming our way later this evening , I told the wife to call in to work
... I grew up driving on snowy roads , but the roads in this area get icy at
a glance and a slide off the road up here could end up slidin' off a
mountain .
My seedlings are doing great , 'maters over 6" tall now . As soon as we
get a break in the weather I'll be bustin' butt to get my hot
box/mini-greenhouse built . I have a growing problem grin .

Only if the holocaust came in the night and I had to run for a cold area
or die would I ever spend a winter where it freezes more than once. I
learned that I don't like cold at all many, many years ago up along the
Arctic ice in the North Atlantic. I was fifty odd years younger then and
the old me still doesn't like it.

I should have run off to Belize when I came back from Saudi in 1986 and
the wife said we had to live close to the kids. Land in Belize back then
was fairly cheap and I would still be living where it never gets cold,
seldom has hurricanes, and the fishing is great.

We are supposed to be getting up to about 80F this coming week and I
hope, for once, that the weather heads are right.
