Ken I feel for you, we were dumped 20" of snow yesterday. All highways into this area were closed down. I had drifts 3 to 4' high, and like you my dogs looked at it and said NO WAY. I had to make a path for them to get out. Today I got the tractor out and bladed the drive, then took the step daughter to work. While I was out a neighbor with a road grader bladed the road. tractor out again to get the snow ridge out of the drive. temp has been a high of 11 today, and expected to get -11 tonight. Now just so you know I an in south west Missouri. We get some temperatures below 32, but not staying below for long. As for snow, ok we get one good load each year, and it begins melting the next day.

Eddie,

It's been a while, "1964" I spent a a January and February about 135 mile North/East of you
in the frozen red Missouri mud at a little touch of Heaven called Fort Leonard Wood,
it had some really Rustic accommodations as I recall.

I'm close , up by Warrensburg. We got around 18" with 35 mph wind. They closed the manufacturing plant I work at last 2 days. Univercities are closed , I-70 from K.C. to St. Louis was closed for about 12 hr. We haven't had it this bad since '62.

Well, getten to spend a lot of tiime in the shop. Machine too loud for carving, got what needed done. As you can see got 21" of the white stuff yesterday. Just think 3 days prior went to Springfield, Missouri and it was 65 degrees. Tomorrow morning will be around -10 below. Sometimes it is really nice being retired and stuck at home out in the country. Gotta love Missouri weather. Changes so quickly!

Ken you would not reconize Fort Leonard Wood now. You know all the luxuries of modern life.

Dan I sent it your way, same for smoken D, hope you guys like the snow. Now come get this stuff that was left here, it is free for the taken.

Smoken d living in the country is the only way to go now days.

I am in Newton county about 25 miles south of Joplin.

IKE hush, shame on you rubbing salt in our wounds. We will remember this when the fires and mud slides start up in CA again. (smile)

Ah gee I was just trying to help! BTW, the mudslides and fires were in Southern Ca.! I am in Northern Ca in the mountains!. 4 hours from Oregon and 1 hour to Nevada! I am just amazed we usually have 4 feet of snow this time of year!
