I'm getting the firewood stacked by the house tonight - so I don't have to get out in the mess tomorrow (or as little as possible).

The firewood is necessary in case the power goes out. We are supposed to get 2-4" inches of snow followed by a few hours of freezing rain. The freezing rain usually takes out the power - especially following snow.

OF COURSE the weather people could be wrong......

Can't say for Lynn on how much ice he still has but it has been 2 1/2 weeks since the ice storm hit SEK and we still have ice on the ground. Maybe 3/4 inch left from three weeks ago this coming Friday. Now, there is snow falling. Maybe up to 4 inchs which isn't much, but with the Ice already on the ground. Not fun. Temp around 20 degrees.
There are some people in NEOK who are still with out power. Prayers lift them up. I pray y'll in North Georgia Mt don't get hit as hard.

We have received about 4 inches of flurries my neighbor said. He came over and cleaned off the driveway right after lunch and it's covered again he said. Still have 2 in ice under that too. They said it was all going south toward Kenny's area and we would just have flurries with little or no accumulation.

Been snowing here all day. Don't mind it at all, got twogenerators down at the shop just waiting to be put back in line and the snow is hiding all the downed limbs. It's actually pretty outside for a change.

Global warming.....ain't it great? Thanks AL!

Now that's the attitude Lynn! I agree lynn on it being pretty, Staying in today, and making a nuisance of myself since I threw away the little bride's club.
Yep, cleaned the walk and driveway off twice and it is an inch thick again.
Ron, you could have kept it up there and not share it for sure.
