Ready for snow

Have taken care of the snow in KS this winter---In addition to the snow blower, ice melt broadcaster, heavy duty outside electrical cord, cord reel---also have added a new car window ice scraper, Rainex window cleaner/water repellent spray, new snow shovel (16" blade), and 20 lbs of snow melt----have two ways of looking at this---1) Will be ready when it snows...2) Will provide amusement to all of you when there is no snow this winter and I have a garage full of new and unused snow equipment. Also have 2 ricks of firewood. Now, I ask myself---Have I missed winter?---where is it?---It is still warm here. I just want to be self sufficient and prepared and plead--please dear God bring some winter so I can use all this stuff. Should be an interesting winter here on the farm.

Father Jerome is attending a 2 day conference so am going to Mass at the Cathedral today and tomorrow. Love the quietness of the Cathedral. Plan to stop by St Pat's to volunteer at the rectory, come home--spread more leaves, then work in the garage trying to find storage places for all of the snow equipment.
Please stay healthy, safe, and keep in touch.
Love,
Mom

Careful what you wish for. I remember someone getting off the plane in Minnesota and saying "I hope it snows".

Halloween night, 1991, 34 inches of the white stuff! (Thanks Vicki!)

I'm armed with my snow removal contract for November through March--and it hardly takes up any room in my garage. Over 2" of snow and it is miraculously gone from sidewalks, steps and driveway by morning. Only negative...I pay per month whether it snows or not. Some years I win big, some years :(

Oh Mom don't worry if it dosen't snow this winter - we will get some in this spring. If no snow then - Gore was right GLOBAL WARMING is here!
