With few exceptions, this has been the rule, to date.

At least 7 inches already and the damn wind blowing 45 mph. Christ.

Knoxville is way out there. Just checked the map. Small town. looks peaceful. is it?

Yes.. how? How did I end up here? I asked myself that very question many times today.

I don’t live as far south as Scooter.

Do you like it there? Do you work still or retired? Meaning do you have to commute up to the city for work?

I've been thinking for a long time moving to somewhere like this. But maybe in Iowa since taxes are less than Illinois. Seems like simple living which is fine by me. As long as I have internet connection and the mailman delivers packages there it'll work. Just the weather in winter will suck.

Poured buckets for a while here in Orland, changed over to snow about 20-30min ago. Wind was really whipping around earlier, but actually seems to have subsided a bit. Got the firewood rack stacked and ready just in case of a loss of power.

Trashy white ones are abundant, however.

I dont know why we don't use weather technology. I think it's banned by the UN but i say time to unban it. Trump is the kind of guy who could do that. Weve had it for the last 30 years.

Think about the fires up in California. Create some rain in those parts and it would have helped. Heat up the chicago area maybe 10 degrees and you only have rain instead of snow.

Very nice little town. Grew up here. My wife is from Maquon about 15 miles southeast of here.

Don’t ever change.

I farm so, although there are days I wish I was, I am not retired. My commute will be 100 yards to the feed yard tomorrow to push snow so the ground will freeze so I can bring semis in later this week. I’m also assuming my hired hand won’t make it so then I will have to figure out now I’m going to feed the cattle. It should be a blast. Can’t wait.

interesting. you dont really hear someone from the city turning into a farmer. how did you learn to farm? just by yourself? did you have a previous career before farming?

He took a correspondence course.

I just let the dog out. It is positively miserable outside.

It’s snowing. Neato. Can’t wait for 4:30 to come so I can run the snowblower and drag my happy ass to work tomorrow.

this will sound crazy but i miss those blizzard days where you just snuggle up at home and wait it out. Ya It must stuck if you have to go to work the next morning but I thought these days people work from home a lot during weather emergencies?

Sounds like a typical Dwight Howard night.
