Good Morning Everyone. Cold morning here, only 24 degrees. Got hit with a snow storm this past weekend. Got to the point sometimes where you couldn't even see out the windows of the house. Hopefully soon it will warm on up and we will get rid of this white stuff they call snow. Hope you all have a Great Day.

:wave:Have A Safe & Wonderful Day Everyone.:wave:

Up in Maine, I was lead to believe that they had two seasons, winter, and the Fourth of July.
Here in the midwest, I got used to two seasons..winter, and summer.
Well, surprise, this year spring and summer lasted about 11 hours....there's a pile of snow on the ground, and more's a fallin'.
So much for Global WARMING!!!!! bounce7

I just signed up for home milk delivery. :) Go figure a small dairy near Ebensburg Pa still does this. No more late trips to the C-store.

I hope the weather keeps going bad I plan on getting some more work completed on my layout.

Hi sumpter250 :wave:

Talk about global warming- it's still raining here in Johannesburg and we are starting to enter into winter, when it's suppose to be our dry season!

In Cape Town winter means their rainy season but the are going through a drought, the dams are also only about 40% full.
