    Default Old Man Winter

    Old Man Winter is alive and living in my front yard. I don't think he plans on moving anytime soon

    I would tell you, "I feel your pain", but I don't really. There is a reason I have never lived north of Memphis and winter is a big part of the reason. We have had two little episodes and are currently over it, although I expect another slap or two before Spring truly arrives. So as the natives say in Georgia "Hunker Down" and stay warm.

    Default Cold Weather Will Not Leave Minnesota Anytime Soon

    Currently I have 3 feet of snow on my property in White Bear Lake MN. The last snow fall from noon on Thursday thru noon on Friday dropped another 9 inches of snow. All weekend people in eastern Minnesota and western Wisconsin, were top speed on the highways and byways was 40 mph...driving in 2nd gear, and when coming to a stop sign, drop the transmission into 1st gear.

    Today is Monday, and overnight into Tuesday more snow is on it way...

    Looks like another Late Spring in Minnesota, last year Spring did not arrive until the 2nd week in May!

    PS: As things stand from "I Feel Down & I Can't Get-UP" article in "Sound-Off" Section, I still have a injured "Left Shoulder & Left Clavical" having a slow recovering, I am schedule to see my Doctor again on March 7th, I still have a long way to full recovery, if I can get that far!

    I'm heading to Florida early Wednesday morning. Daytime temperatures are forecast in the high 70's to low 80's. I hope to suffer through it for a week before heading back north to some fresh, clean, cold air. This old man loves winter.

    My wife says, "Don't go north of I-10 in the winter."
    I flyfish the salt because the voices in my head tell me to...
