I'm gonna kill that fargin' groundhog!

Ah, yes, sledding. I remember that.

When I was in high school in the 60's, a local golf course with some awesome hills would allow kids to go sleigh riding down them for free. Heck, there was nobody there. Why should they care?

Well, that last question was answered in the early seventies.

Us kids were smart enough to avoid trouble and, even when our cojones got the best of us, our folks would bandage up our wounds and life would go on as before, only some were a bit wiser than before.

We readabout some parents suig the golf course because their wunderkind did a header into some trees. We ALL knew where the trees were and avoided them. It wasn't difficult. You just avoided this one hill. It doidn'ttake much thought to know that, just a little common sense and a touch of survival instinct.

...but not this genius. From what the newspapers said, he laid down on the sled, heat first, and took off rignbt into the thicket of trees even after the other kids (and there were many) told him not to.

Yep. You guessed it, Broken collarbone and arm. He's damg lucky he didn't bash his skull in. The kids parents got a pretty penny from that golf course's management and nobody was ever allowed in ther to sleigh rids again.

Dumb people and lawyers will be the death of this country.

BTW, we dodged a bullet here. We were suppposed to gat lots of snow and I only got a dusting. A compartiot in southern jersey only got a few inches. He can stillwear his sandals outside. No major storm as was predicted all last week.

I guess we got off easy today here in Maryland. Yesterday we had rain. Through the night and into today we had plenty of sleet and snow (7-9"). But we never had freezing rain or the power failures that come with it. Today was cold, never warmer than 20° as I shoveled out this afternoon.

At 9 pm its already dropped to 10°F, going down as low as 0° by sunrise.

And in Anchorage, Alaska its 32°. There's something wrong with this.

'“Across the U.S. we’re going to have a very snowy situation with at least three winter storms over the next week, and these are high-impact storms,” said Guy Walton, a forecaster with The Weather Channel. “There is a very active storm pattern across the country.”

Up to 8 inches of wet and heavy snow is expected to hit the greater New York City area only one day after the region enjoyed balmy weather for the Super Bowl in East Rutherford, N.J. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for the city, Long Island, and most of New Jersey from 5 a.m. through 7 p.m. Monday.'

Just want to say this was the craziest week I've seen in a long time. We still have snow melting around here.

We wish we had melting snow around here!

Tonight's low will be 11°.

I'm just glad we are getting a break here in the Northeast.

It always feels like we've turned the corner on winter when we change the clocks ahead.
Don't forget to do that tonight.
Five degrees when I started the truck this morning at 7am and by 10am it was 28 at the beach.

It looks like a corner might have been turned around here. Sunshine and temperatures in the 50s for the last 2 days . The ice on my front steps is finally GONE.

The forecast shows 10 days of temperatures never below freezing . That should melt all this ice and snow.
