Subject: RE: BS: Blizzard comming to DC area?
Yeah, and I am purdy pissed off about it...

We just had 22 inches in Decemeber and it took me three intense days of tractor duty to dig out... The problem with where we are is that we are on the western side of the Blue Ridge at 1700 feet and when these things come in from the west we get hammered... The other problem is that our drive way is close to a half a mile long and narrow whyich means having to remove large depths of snow one front loader bucket at a time and backing up the hill and dumping the snow in the few places where it can be stashed... It amounts to hundreds and hundreds of buckets of snow... And my Kabota has no cab so it's cold and the snow just covers me and the tractor... But...

...I got beer and a little moonshine left... I got lots of firewood stacked up safe in the mudroom... Hopefully we won't lose electricity but I'll be fillin' the bath tub in the mornin' just in case we gotta have water for flushin' toilets, etc...

Worst part about all this is that I am supposed to close on the sale of the spec house I built down below a week from today... Ol' hillbilly really needs that to happen...

But, I guess we are ready... I've been thru these before... 31 inches back in the mountains of Wes Ginny...

But if it wants to go somewhere else that would suit me fine...
