Dig It!

So, we got a bit of snow yesterday. My camera is not working right now, so here's a link to the Rockford Register Star that has a few pictures.

I'm told here in THE Valley we're lookin' at between 14" and 16" with a couple more expected today, with a couple more expected tomorrow.

Then.....Sunday the high should be.....11. 11 degrees. Which will feel pretty balmy compared to the high of 4 that is expected on Monday.

Today......I shovel. Shovel, shovel, shovel. I can pretty well guarantee it's gonna take AT LEAST all day. Mainly because I'm a wuss. But also, I do have to work during the day also.

That damned ground hog. 6 more weeks of this shit?!?!?! Shoot 'em. Shoot all them damned bastards!!

And just for the record....I called this this past fall. I told folks the squirrels were too fat and too busy. I told folks it was gonna be a rough winter.

They laughed at me.

Daddy taught me how to predict winter weather by watching the squirrels, and my Daddy was a very wise man.

Plus, he was a farmer. He knew of what he spoke.

So......I'm off to finish another cup of coffee, get bundled up and start the digging out process.

Next year? Come hell or high water....I'm gettin' a damned snow blower!!!

I trust the farmers almanac.

They are always spot on. They predicted that Michigan would have a very wet winter. Wet doesn't even begin to describe this winter so far.

This hasn't been a rough winter. It's been very inconsistant, but not rough. With the temps going from unseasonably warm to really cold and back in a weeks time, it's causing other problems.

In my 30 years of memory, this winter doesn't even rank in the the top 10 for the worst. The year we had to shovel the snow off the ruffs of the houses so they didn't callapse under the weight of the snow was the worst.

I think we all need to go in and buy you a snow blower. Forget all that shoveling crap.

As I fisher... person, I was pissed at the holy rodent as well. Now, if I was an ice fishin' person... That'd be a different story, but I'm not, so I need to ask my "hunter" buddies, if they can the shorty short out. I mean, make him disappear. That's what I meant... Really. Shoot the danged hog... No shadow, no problem...
