Dec 2016:

Our first substantial snowstorm yesterday. We got 6" and our temps this morning were -3°, bbrrrrrrr

Got out the snow blower and cleared the 2" off the drive so spoiled daughter can drive in and park in garage. Yes, my vehicles are both parked outside.

How is your Chicago suburbs daughter doing?

I'm happy to report that I no longer have to deal with this much snow (normally) or the below zero temperatures. PTL
On another note, I will be having a pacemaker installed (I hope it's chrome plated..) after the first of the year.

Prayers uplifted for a successful surgery. I wonder: will a chrome plated pacemaker set off the metal detectors in city halls and airports?

Mine moved out a year or so ago. She is living in N Indiana right now.
