winter is indeed here , 

its not that cold here yet but coming tomorrow , its in the very low +20s now but the wind is whistling creating a near below zero windchill ,  

6" of snow yesterday and 4" the day before meant removal this morning , cleared the steps , walks , and front deck first , took an hour and a half , could not feel my toes and fingers so in to warm for an hour , back out for another hour blowing out the drive and clearing the snow plows drift at the street , in again still cannot feel my toes but the tingling in the fingers has subsided and the pink color is back , 


overnight the house creaked and popped , some loud as a rifle shot , -16f here right now , sunny but wont get very far from zero , but ......

we have it easy compared to those on that texas to pennsylvania corridor [actually all the way up east coast ] they are getting hit with a belt of ice that is taking out power , and cancelling flights , bad part is there is a second storm following the first ,

I just got some pics of the ice storm in Arkansas. Nasty looking! We, meanwhile have light rain & 46 degrees (for now).

We missed out on the snow here, A_square. We had about 3" and that was it but we did get a nasty layer of freezing rain first. Temps here are the same, get ready for tomorrow morning though. Our straight temp in the morning is forecasted to be -25F.

Supposed to be the town Christmas parade tonight. Temps dropping & rain increasing. I bet they wish they'd set a rain date now!

Whats all that white stuff ????  Dont think I seen any of the real stuff since I lived in Germany, We had some one time when My Wife was 5 months Prego with my Son . and he is 20 now ...We did get some a few years ago , just enough to build a 8 inch snowman !!! with the snow left on the cars !!!
It is supposed to get cold tomorrow , will be good for our Deer hunt ....But would be sweet if it did snow !! any one ever sat in a cypress swamp the same time it snows ???  I will bring my camera and take pics just in case !!!!
