Just and update on my dog's condition....he is starting to come back around. He has become more alert, and is starting to be more of his pesky, nosey, little **** a$$ self. It took three baby asprins over a 72 hour period, but he seems to be doing much better at the moment. Currenty he is barking at all the downed trees in his backyard domain...as they are not supposed to be there, so he thinks someone or something is invading his territory. Thanks to all whom were concerned and came to his / my aid. It was really touch and go there for awhile.

Stay in tune....

Glad to hear he's doing better. Sounds like he is coming around. !

I'll give it away and help load it on your truck. Sounds like we have another storm coming in Tuesday night into Wednesday also. Significant amount is what they are saying. Great.

Hey Gordo.....this is real, authentic, date coded VIRGIN SNOW! Its 2010 Blizzard White....a very rare color....maybe 1 of 1. So, it has to be worth something? Please.... this is very, very rare! It may even Top Flight...the possibilities are endless.

As for the next round on Tues. eve into Wed.....I have just thrown my hands up at this point. I have a full size 4X4 GMC that I can not get out as no snow plow has been here and the snow is just to high. I could go through it...but I fear the damage that I would do is simply not worth it!

Stay in tune....

You should add that each flake is unique. No two are supposedly alike. Making each flake 1 of 1.

How's the pup doing today? Hopefully back to his normal self.

Nah its not a blizzard until it toutches the roof of your house, then you can open the front door and use it as a refrigerator. just stuff your beer into the snow!

WOW!!! I thought we only get snowfalls like that up here in Canada. I hope you have a snowblower to handle all that snow. Hopefully the Vette under the cover is surviving. Take care!!!
P.S. My wife loves your house.

Hi Guy's & Gal's....

Thanks so much to those asking about my Brittny...he is pretty much back up to being pretty much himself....but just to be cautious, I am keeping him quiet and only letting him out to do his #1 & #2 and right back in...Hell... he / we... can't go anywhere!

Below are the last photo's I will post and they were taken @ 10:30 a.m. this morning. If, a plow doesn't come soon....I may be stuck up here for a few more days. My house is the one to the left of the center house of the court. Now they are calling for an additional 8-10" Tues into Wed evening...this could get real interesting! One last note....as I stated before all my neighbors are all either elderly or sickly...so the two houses to the right of me and the one house to the left of me are yet to be done....by yours truely! Stay safe...at least we can watch the Super Bowl later on today....thats if I don't lose power again???

Stay in tune....

The Obama Administration is now officially calling it "Climate Change" because they can't the counter fact that the earth has be cooling for the past 11 years. It's all a money grab (Cap&Trade, etc.), and they've been forced to change their story: Check out this video of his press secretary two-stepping the issue. This is an illustration of how he's running our country -sad, very sad:

For you fellas in the Northeast, me included......guess what....more of the white stuff is coming Tuesday night into Wednesday night. Early forecasts call for 12" and possibly up to 24".....don't blame me, I'm just the messenger.

Happy shoveling.....

Steve
