Greenland called, wants weather back

SNO.M.G.

Mother Nature's little snowball stand is once again having a great big giveaway. I bagged work today to wait out the resulting carmageddon on the roads and to dig out once again. This time the crystal deth is being accompanied by a bit of constant wind that is swaying the trees a bit, hopefully this will keep accumulations off the trees somewhat, I don't want any more taking a tumble or losing branches.

Since when did I move to Minnesota? I have the sudden urge to go ice fishing.

84th

Today would have been Mom's 84th birthday. I'm trying my best not to be overcome with sadness that she's gone. Being buoyed by good memories, and keeping warm wearing her favorite sweater (it's only a little tight, actually, it was generously hand-knit) helps.

Happy Birthday, Mom.
