Another day in paradise – State of Jefferson
Yeah… from a distance.
Very pretty! I always appreciate snow in pictures. 🙂
Katie,
Here is a picture of my journey pulling my garbage can out to the road this morning.

Not that I believe there is going to be any garbage truck this morning as the roads are not plowed, but just in case.
Not pretty, Katie, f#@$%&,@#$!-%&@**@#,%$#%&-%^*ing ugly! Not good, Katie, bad. Bad bad bad bad bad. Bad, Katie, bad!
By the way, it is 13 degrees here.
Bad, Katie, bad!
Sorry Henry, just trying to look at the bright side. Thinking this is just a test for what is to come. Had no power for two days now, making a pot of coffee on the wood stove now, had to go 36 miles round trip to get my generator yesterday, then physically drag it through the 2 1/2 feet of snow for 200 yards, the gas pumps here in town are down and I got enough gas for about 12 hrs. Freezers full of meat might have to have a cook a thon. I count my blessings because our first year here we had no heat and 4 feet of snow for two weeks. Maybe pretty wasn’t the best choice of words but I’m always up for a challenge, even more so now that I have found the trenches. Thanks Rick ( you know who you are, just over the mountain) for bringing me to the trenches.
Yeah, thanks Rick, over the mountain.
No apologies necessary. I was born in Florida but have no memories of such. I grew up about one mile from where I am sitting and snow is nothing new to me. I am geared for it. If it snowed me completely in, I’d walk out the door showered and shaved with clean clothes. When it receded, in fact, I could survive in the mountains for a month if I had to in this weather.
I just don’t like it.
Take your meat, put it in a plastic bag, and bury it in that 2 1/2 feet of snow. No cook-a-thon necessary.
You say you are low on gas. Seal off one room with blankets over the doors and windows and limit your heater use to that area until you can get more gas.
Right now I’m taking a break. One more rally and I’ll be dug out to the road. Think I’ll go to the store and get me some hot chocolate. It’s a day for it.
The main thing is don’t get exited. I don’t, I’m like a bear. It can get bad as it wants to and I will just retreat to a small warm spot and wait it out.
By the way, it is still snowing. 🙂
“Take your meat, put it in a plastic bag, and bury it in that 2 1/2 feet of snow. No cook-a-thon necessary.”
Same thing I was thinking, Henry.
Henry, from this day forward I pledge to NEVER say “very pretty.”
Snow is very, very, ugly, ugly and very, very, bad, bad!!
Henry I think you better move back to Florida.
Pretty indeed,what’s the temp ?
a steady 33 most all day
GREAT PLACES FOR BOOBY TRAPS…………. THANKS RICK FROM OVER THE MOUNTAIN!!!
THANX FOR THE PICS GUYS…. IF ANY FLURRIES WHERE IM AT, A LOAF OF BREAD OR A GALLON OF MILK CANT BE FOUND…………………… BEST PLACE TO BOOBY TRAP? THE BEER ISLE AT WALLY WERLD
Yes, it is pretty, and I never tire of looking at it. Henry may want to strangle me for this, but I like the winter. No bugs, no bears, and long visibility due to the lack of foliage.
Just bundle up and get out there.
