Happy Valentine's Day !

This has been a most unique day... First, we've had ice storms for the last 2 days and I have had to work from home - except for part today when the cable (and therefore Internet)was out for 12 hours. I spent a total of about 6 hours chopping the ice from the driveway. Here's a picture at the start:

Looks like a skijump under construction. It ended at about 1" thick.

Here are some more pictures:







The roads were too slippery so we had to cancel our dinner plans and stay home. I made a Chicken Stir-Fry (what else do Jews eat on holidays?) and I don't know what Peggy had. We're going to have our Valentine's next Tuesday when she returns from visiting her parents and daughter in Florida. Next year HAS to be better!

It Snowed Today ...


OK, that's just a bit of an understatement.

Maybe I should say that IT SNOWED! Not as much as places like Chicago or Denver but pretty much for Southwestern Ohio.

I measured the snow on the driveway as I was clearing it and it measured 8". Not bad for 7 hours. They sent most of us away to work from home so I have to use the laptop and phone until 6 but at least I could sit and stare at the fireplace in between calls.



I guess Peggy was right ...
If you go to bed with your jammmies on inside-out the night before, you will get a "snow day".


Now I'm off to the living room for a Mudslide and a "date"
with my recliner and neck massager :)
