Well rub it in why don’t you?? I wish we could get the snow y’all got up there. We never get crap here. I never listen to the weather anymore. They are always full of crap. It don’t take much to be a meteorologist in Oklahoma. All you do is lie and sensationalize a little and you’ve got it made.

February 1978. Six feet of snow. I was the last one to make it up my street and into my own driveway. A neighbor followed me, but couldn't make it past my driveway so he pulled in behind me. It snowed for two more days. When it was all over, all I could see of my car(had no garage at the time) was about a one foot circle of the top where the snow had drifted off.

I built a garage in the following spring and bought a snow blower the next fall in preparation for the coming winter. It surely came in handy but it never snowed like that all the rest of the time I was there. I moved to Oklahoma in 1989.

I don't need to see any more snow, but it doesn't bother me when it does snow. I have plenty of practice driving in it, but that black ice is another story!

I remember that snow. We cleared our road with our tractor and bucket and found a car. Thankfully there was no one in it.

Route 128 around Boston was a real mess. Buried cars all along it. They were probing the snow banks looking for cars as they went along with some big snowblowers to clear the highway. There was a ban on driving that lasted for about a week. I was exempted since I was an "essential worker." I worked at an airport.

Here, but occasionally There.
Ha! When the kids were little, they somehow got it in their heads that heels were undesirable. I didn't mind them at all (still don't), and especially toasted with butter for breakfast. So I started eating the heel(s) first whenever they were on the table.

Wasn't long before it was a grab race with the kids to even get one... :D

:drunk2:

Wife tells me that as a kid, she would eat the center out of the slice of bread and leave the crust.

Now, she eats any and all of it if she can.
