We woke up to a ton of snow yesterday. Wow! Our area does this once every ten years or so on an average. It has been fifteen years since the last time it snowed like this. I hope the weather does not make up for missing the schedule. My hubby fell on his back in a water puddle in the hall at a business down town. He is limping and every muscle in his body hurts. We are lucky he did not break his hip. He has done that three times already. When he falls he does not bounce.

Hope your husband feels better soon, Jimmie... and that he's really careful next time!

Who would'a known that a puddle could be so dangerous?

WOW on the snow in your area. We are having rain but this is pretty typical for us here on the coast. The ice is really bad though. Hope your hubby will be ok. I hate falling too.

Hope your hubby feels better. I am really wondering what this winter is going to be like. We haven't had this much snow this soon in a loooong time also.

Oh my gosh, mom of 3. Sound like your hubby and mine are related. My hubby just passed a test and received a certificate of safety using ladders when he fell off a ladder and broke his second hip. We were lucky. If he had fallen a few inches over he would have gone through my glass display case. Could have killed himself. I told him I would kick butt if he did that again. lol while crying

Thank you. The medics said it was his boots. Good for any terrain but wet. They work like ice skates on wet floors. My baby need new boots.

No snow in Alaska? How did you do that? I thought Alaska was the snow capitol of the world.

Sounds like you are from our area. If you are then you know how good our weather usually treats us. Except once in a while we get this

I live about 1 hr. drive from you. The drifts around here are 3 ft. deep. No school today. :-D

I would love some snow. Hope your hubby is doing better. I think Santa needs to bring him some new boots.

Hi,

We have lots of snow here in Sweden tonight. It is the first snow this year. And it is very windy too. Many lorries and busses have been blowing off the road today. And in some parts where there is no snow there is raining nad the some roads are so wet that you canīt drive with on them

Hi from Central Oregon. We woke up to over a foot of snow this morning. Temperatures are suppose to be subzero tonight. So the snow is not going away any time soon. Sorry about your husband. It is really dangerous getting snow on your boots then walking inside. Slick as ice.

Have a Happy Thanksgiving.

My son drives a truck from the Port of Pasco to the port of Seattle or Tacoma and back. He hauls containers of hay cubes or onions. He and his fellow drivers had to chain up to go over the pass coming home and the safest speed was 20 to 25 miles per hour the snow being that bad. Then, there was the trucker (unknown who he was) must have been doing 60 when he passed the convoy blinding every one with snow. My son being the last in line radioed ahead warning every one they were going to over taken by a speeder. Good thing they were not on a curve.

When they haul onions they have to remove the metal doors off the containers and put plywood half doors on or the gases emitting from the onions can explode. Wow! The things we do not know.

Snow would be wonderful if it would stay off the sidewalks and roads. Love to play in it with the grandkids.

It's looking like a cold hard winter this year. Be sure to get your hubby into a hot tub of water with epsom salts! We're waiting to see what tonights weather brings -- supposed to be worse!

amma 11-23-2010 02:52 PM

Isn't this crazy?
I guess we were due :roll: and they say this is just the beginning of a very memorable winter :shock:

Hope hubby recovers soon and quickly.

Jimmiw 11-23-2010 03:28 PM

Oh! My! O.K. This is a good time to get in to quilting in a really big way. Wish my pantry had more in it. Driving to the store is not my most favorite thing to do in the snow.

Jimmiw 11-23-2010 03:31 PM

Thank you.

Jimmiw 12-03-2010 03:13 PM

We keep getting reports of new storm fronts coming in but, we do not get too much snow, sleet or rain. The weather seems to go around us. How is it in your area? Just one hour away does make a difference.

Cyn 12-03-2010 03:15 PM

Hope your hubby is better and gets new boots.

MY DGD's love the snow. Unfortunately, they live in Miami, FL. Maybe they'll get to visit me sometime. I usually go there from Ohio. It costs too much for 4 people to fly.
