30 inches of snow and still falling
Power went out at 5:30 AM Now our plow truck has crapped out in the driveway so no one can get in or out. Remind me why we live here in Northern Minnesota.

1. I know why...
cause it is so beautiful and placid?

I do hope you stay warm and have enough supplies to last until you can get out.

Wishing you well from Minneapolis where we had flurries this AM.

3. Luckily we hauled in wood
for the wood stove and filled the bathtub with water. We can stay warm and flush the can. What more do we need?

7. Mr. Avabea made two passes with the plow before it crapped out.
We'll have to wait to get it going again. Freezer is full so food is not a problem. Thanks for your concern though.:hi:

2. Because once the snow melts, the hovercraft sized
mosquitos will fly you away to the boundary waters?

I am SO SORRY about your truck - that really sucks.

:hug:

5. Hopefully it's just a bad battery cable
We are waiting for a neighbor to come and try to jump it. Why would you ever think our mosquitoes are that small. They are at least blimp size.:toast:
