Good Morning EV1..
Lou(Taz)
Thanks for starting the daily blog!

Not much snow here down river... Maybe 4 or 5 inches overnight... Nothing to brag about.. Sounds like everyone else got a chit load...

All total I would say we maybe have 8 to 10 on the ground... I'm fortunate though... This has been a good time for me..I don't have to do any shoveling etc... My neighbors have that covered... The girl next door has a nice big one with a steel auger and 5 hp motor on it along with its self propelled. (Forward and Reverse)

3 doors down my neighbor Bud I can count on every year he just does it automatically... He is like I use to be.... I use to enjoy shoveling snow and takeing care of the lawn during the summer months... He's a good man.

Thanks Bud and Jennifer!

Lizzy and I are going to venture out and go down to the corner coney island for breakfast..

Devin:
Great Pic of that funnel cloud over lake Michigan...

Mike (Chibi)
Hope you feel better soon..colds/flu is no fun anytime you get one..But its especially worse IMO to be sick during the winter Months...
Feel better soon Mike!

Have a Great Snowy Day Ev1 !!! Be safe out there!

Haha. I can only dream of the sixties. I think I'm going to grill and have some beers on the deck this weekend when it gets up to thirty. LOL It looks like Florida is going to get some "cold" weather in a couple days. I can mail you a jacket if you need one.
