We are dug out

2 snow days from school and DH stayed home too.

I was silly and watched "Breaking Away" with the family yesterday.

Spring seems sooooo far away!

Well, here goes round 3, or 4, or wherever we are. Accuweather alerted my phone, that there's at least 2 hours' of snow coming at us soon, plus the scattered snow that was still on for tomorrow. Why Ohio? Just because I'm here? :-(

This next one has me concerned - it's less than 48 hours out and as of this morning, the weatherman still had no idea what we're likely to get - anything from no snow to a foot of snow.
Freakin' winter - saving the worst weather till the last week before Spring.

The last fall got a coat of ice on it that I still haven't been able to break through to clear off on the walk and drive. If we get more tomorrow night we'll just hunker down till it thaws I guess

It was close to 40 F earlier, so I rode the Trek out to Packard Park. I stopped at another park, not sure the name, and a lot of birds are blaming me for the weird weather, lol, especially the geese. 🙃

Small world, I'm technically Spring Hill too, closer to Union though!

Well if you happen to see a house with frames and tires by the curb on trash day you can take a fair guess!

came across my video the other day. I think it all began at the end of January. if I remember correctly there was nothing on the ground before "Juno" hit then this happened. little did we know what would follow

Yep, that was one for the record books. It was around 45F & sunny today here, and supposed to be in the 60s for awhile starting tomorrow. 😎 I rode over to Packard Park again today, and got mugged by a couple squirrels. Turned out they just wanted some bread, from my sub. 😁
