You know as well as I do that the weather can change in a heartbeat. Slide off the road somewhere and you might not be found until spring. We wound up with a bit over 6 inches of snow. I won't be going out any time soon to measure it, though! :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-49831287486574410102015-12-29T10:12:49.679-06:002015-12-29T10:12:49.679-06:00Our snow total was a bust, 1.0".

Its winter in MN. I see folks out without coats and wonder if they even have them in the car. While I don't travel around here like I will get stuck, I still run the risk of walking. <br /><br />When we go back to CAP next week I will pack some extra clothes and a shovel. just incase, and some snack food.Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800149852939042454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-60105591146346134672015-12-28T23:49:18.945-06:002015-12-28T23:49:18.945-06:00Fern...I have been hearing about the wet weather o...Fern...I have been hearing about the wet weather others have been experiencing. I think I would rather deal with our snow than with all the water. It is approaching midnight and it looks like we have maybe 6 inches of snow on the ground so far, but it seems to be letting up some. I am not a big fan of winter, either. This is where having a well stocked larder is nice. While others are having to go out in the snow and cold to pick up needed items at the grocery, I just get what I need from the pantry. Years ago I lived in a house that had an old fashioned pot-bellied wood stove. I really miss that! The turkey and dumplings were delicious. :)Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09409645438732452330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-75353017686109782302015-12-28T20:29:54.083-06:002015-12-28T20:29:54.083-06:00Our 12"+ rain has finally ended, much to our ...Our 12"+ rain has finally ended, much to our appreciation. On top of our mud bog we had a few minutes of light snow flurries this afternoon. I guess it might have been pretty, but I just grumbled at it to go away. We're in the 40's during the day and 20's at night now. It won't be bad if the wind calms down and we have a little sunshine to go with it. I know winter is here, but honestly, I'm really not looking forward to cold weather. I hope you fair well and enjoy your dumplings.<br /><br />FernFrank and Fernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15570058990887565563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6292915201767940326.post-2433592740179958682015-12-28T16:58:49.954-06:002015-12-28T16:58:49.954-06:00Gorges...I think winter has arrived here.

It stayed in the forties today, and I left work hunched over like an old beggar with arthritis. <br /><br />Thank goodness for hot water, and a nip of scotch.
