The Paco Command Center got hit with about 10 inches of snow overnight. High winds caused drifts by the front and back doors. I used a super-high-powered leaf blower to blast the stuff from the screen door on the back porch so we could get outside.
I suppose we should have moved three or four hundred miles further south, but I heard it snowed in Florida, too. Can't wait for Trump to liberate Cuba; gonna get me a condo in Trump Tower - Havana.
Conversely, here on the western side of Puget Sound we're looking at the prospect of a snowless winter. I think I've experienced just one other since building my house here in '97.
ReplyDeleteI use my leaf blower on the lighter snow falls for the same reason, Paco, on the front & back porches. Works a charm. I have a full sized, carbon spewing, gas powered blower for the driveway ....
ReplyDeleteI wish offer you and Mrs. Paco a song to comfort you in these treacherous times ...

I love Vaughan Monroe, but that song makes me want to punch him in the nose.
DeleteI'm in Ohio, not far from lake Erie. I was planning on going to Kentucky to check out some places but a foot of snow and -degrees told me to stay inside. Plus, my Mustang no likee snow.
ReplyDeleteLake effect snow is the debil!- Mama Boucher.
I look at Tempe's temp every now and then. It's not a happy thing.
One 'good' thing though, I'm getting used to cold weather. 20 degrees seems almost warm.
I lived in Florida for over 13 years, and was never able to reacclimate myself to cold weather - although I keep telling myself that one more layer of clothes might just do the trick.
DeleteThat sounds like a good idea. Maybe I could get a condo next to yours, and we could sit on our balconies and express our (supposed) sympathy for the suckers still living in that thing called winter.
ReplyDeleteBeing outdoors, the smoke from your Cuban cigars would probably be diluted enough before it reached me. :-)
I gave up smoking over seven years ago, so that's not going to be a problem
DeleteGood. Happy to hear that.
DeleteI’d have more sympathy if we hadn’t
ReplyDeletealready been snowed in for a week. I live in Ohio, just forty minutes north of the Ohio River and the Kentucky border, and we got nearly two feet of snow, and below zero temps. And it’s fricken snowing again. I am not liking this winter.
