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!

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.
