Hello folks....hope you are all staying warm and indoors, as the roads are...

[Ma Betty in MO]

really bad and snow-covered where the snow plows haven't been able to do a good job or haven't been as yet! Right now it is -5 but the reel feel is -27 degrees with wind out of the W at 15 mph! Ma is inside and this is where she will stay for awhile! Sure hope my main furnace doesn't quit working, as my basement furnace is shut off for a new capacitor or blower, whichever is bad and needs repaired! There has to be a lot of cars not starting or with dead batteries and homes without no heat! I pray that God will have mercy upon us all and help us to have cars that start and homes with heat or shelters close by with help to get there to stay warm and not be freezing and enough food supplies until the weather gets better! Amen! Ma

Roads are a sheet of ice and the semi trucks are still going the speed limit. Saw one semi blow through a red light going at least 40 mph because he couldn't stop. Very scary. I'm just glad no one pulled out in front of him. Stay safe everyone!

I was just in GH Pete...you are right, very slick, nobody needs to be out in this mess..the Lake effect snow machine is really crankin' today. It for some reason doesn't feel as cold as they or the temp at the bank are saying...maybe its a dry cold? Would not be fun to spend the night outside in this, unless a fellow got dug down into the backside of a dune, or out of the wind, Thank the Lord for houses and heat..

I try to get out before the sun melts the snow and it gets heavy. Better to push light snow than actually shovel and lift wet snow. I take breaks as well...usually stopping to look around at God's creatures and winter artistry.
