Feeling Happy

Good morning J- Landers,

We finally have SUN!!!!  This will really help as it will put a crust on the snow and then when the winds come up it will help prevent bad drifts. We have 28.3 degrees. Mike is out on the Big Bear cleaning up the driveway and where we park the cars and truck. Brandon is shoveling the snow away from the windows so we can see out. The good ole sun does wonders to a fellas attitude!!  After today only one day left of 2006, hope everybody has a safe weekend!  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Sue

Hi Everybody out there in JLand,

Won't write much as Deb keeps you all posted as what we have for weather but I'll put my 2 cents worth in. Right now we have 30.1 degrees and the fog has lifted and the snow has stopped for now. We got another 2 feet on top of the 25+ inches we had before. It's to the point now of where do you plow and of course when the wind comes up it's a real sweet mess. Oh well this will pass and hopefully the sun will come out and melt at least some of it. It's amazing how not to long ago we were all complaining about how dry we were!!!  Guess us humans will never be satisfied!!!! Tonight another storm will hit but it is suppose to be East of us. WHOOPIE!!!  We DO like to share. (HA,HA)   Wishing everyone a GREAT AND SAFE NEW YEAR!!!!

Sue

Hearing Lee Greenwood Christmas songs

Hi Everybody,

Well the storm has passed  leaving us with 15+ inches and VERY slick roads!! We live at an altitude of 8000 so we usually get dumped on good. The weatherman calls us the foothills. Hoping we don't get the wind as then we get the drifts. Right now temp is dropping and it is 13.5 degrees. We have a pellet stove which sure beats having to go chop the wood like we use too. It's nice and warm in our little log house!!  Have a good evening everybody.

Sue
