Well, I for one have had it with winter. Sunday it started snowing, got 6
inches and the temp went south, been in the single digits for days. Had it
all figured out to get out of here today (I am snow-bound with my truck at
one inch because of my driveway), Ed was going to put my truck at the end
of the drive because the road was plowed and I could get out. He woke me up
at 5:30 and announced we got a surprise 3 inches over night. *sigh* And
more on the way accompanied by ice. Then more on Friday. I NEED OUT OF THIS
HOUSE!!!!! LOL Can you tell I am reaching my limit?
