The wind chill factor that year made it 60 below!

And I am so grateful you were able to get to the store. Bad times like that have by passed me mostly..but not always, and we've only had maybe 10-15 really really bad deep snows that kept us weather bound up top of our hill. <br />Take care dear Twin.<br />xoxRamblingonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00796934980023316493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344902957315839144.post-33587216786806415452011-02-05T11:15:05.607-06:002011-02-05T11:15:05.607-06:00That sounds like the kind of snow I've seen in...That sounds like the kind of snow I've seen in Cook City, Montana. We spent some time snowmobiling up there and the cabin we stayed in could only be entered via a long tunnel of snow! We have virtually no snow left and it's already 36...I think that part of the country is taking all the horrible weather for us.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05244049379186734864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344902957315839144.post-53295660692272048802011-02-05T08:36:58.968-06:002011-02-05T08:36:58.968-06:00Funny the mail ran here the next day despite the f...Funny the mail ran here the next day despite the foot we got with drifts too. All cars were off our streets though and they plowed through the night. Garbage DID NOT run though and so it was piled high on top of those mounds everywhere. Nothing like getting a can stuck in a snowbank covered in 6 inches of snow thrown from a plow! YUCK! Got my supplies two days ahead of time.. Sure glad I did!! Take care stay well and warm Sis!CAROLDEEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14509849444702821756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344902957315839144.post-425109867032479542011-02-05T07:10:26.750-06:002011-02-05T07:10:26.750-06:00Glad to hear you managed to get to the store Beth,...Glad to hear you managed to get to the store Beth, and all stocked up.

Even if you hadn't planned on going anywhere it's just nice knowing you can.<br />I remember a couple blizzards from when we lived in the country at Windsor. One the kids were kept at school. And Garry was stranded in another town as they wouldn't let anyone out of town. The other one was when a neighbor nearly froze just a short distance beyond our driveway. When it got daylight and his wife hadn't heard from him she started calling neighbors along the route he took. We couldn't see a thing...Garry walked to the end of the drive, thought he saw a dark spot through the snow. Sure enough it was him...took a bit to rouse him, then Garry helped him back to our house to thaw him out. So there was a happy ending that time. I'm sure one of those times was '78, just don't know which.Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07889385786262311973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344902957315839144.post-24857303021138952042011-02-04T19:43:26.018-06:002011-02-04T19:43:26.018-06:00We're supposed to get a little freezing rain, ...We're supposed to get a little freezing rain, sleet or light snow this evening but I'm hoping that's all we get. We dodged the bullet on the storm that hammered the Midwest and Northeast. Be careful excavating the car. There was a story n tonight's news about the annual jump in back and shoulder injuries as well as those from falls on slick surfaces and heart problems,all because of over exertion when shoveling snow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08812329358511747697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344902957315839144.post-33513573956517183592011-02-04T18:18:15.932-06:002011-02-04T18:18:15.932-06:00Holy smoke, she never came in to warm up even once...Holy smoke, she never came in to warm up even once? When you 2 got to the store, could she even put her fingers around the handle of the cart? Wow, she is tenacious! <br />We had 70 degrees on Wednesday, 38 on Thursday and 40 today. It was calling for rain which started late this afternoon, but it turned to sleet. Now they're calling for snow. Will wonders never cease, lol.<br />Wish you were next door, Beth. We could bake the daylights of all of this shut-in time :D<br />XOXOXOJennyDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14329171741191991379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-344902957315839144.post-81731130292807175162011-02-04T17:28:04.462-06:002011-02-04T17:28:04.462-06:00Our little southern storm gave me a great deal of ...Our little southern storm gave me a great deal of respect for you hearty yankees!

Scotland now has winds of 100 miles per hour and some lives have been lost I believe. It is very windy and blustery here, but nothing compared to what Scotland and other places are having. Not a touch on what has and is happening in Australia either of course. Stay safe and warm, glad you are well stocked up.
