Sorry you didn't get to see your niece Jack. Guess your sister in law thought the little one would hamper her dad's clearing out.

We must have gotten the 4inches predicted last night. Nice amount of snow around when I went out.

On my way back there was a nice little stream of melted snow water going down the road on the hill I walk up.

Yeah... Yesterday they both left so he could get some work done and that's when he did it all. They would have been home today if it wasn't for the washing machine busting and her having to go to her mom's to do all that laundry. I'm going with my old man down to see my other brother for a few days next weekend, so hopefully we can all get together the following week now that I have some more days off.

Sorry to hear about the snow by you. I think we might be pretty much done here. The forecast for the next two weeks by me shows highs from the 40's to the 60's so any snowing we get should only be incidental and melt really quickly. Winter's almost over :)

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Well, that was probably a good thing. And things break and you have to make other arrangements to get things done. I hope you do Jack.

Next week's weather for around me calls for some more snow then sun with highs at over 30F then some rain. So maybe by next weekend things will be better. We shall see.

Hey Brenda

I checked it out. You really DID lose all of your posts. Dang.

I'm glad that the snow is melting ... again.

I've been checking out the weather because it's been in the news. This is for Jack "Record Atmospheric Moisture Feeding Central U.S. Flooding - The most significant flooding thus far has been in Southwest Michigan, Northwest Indiana, and Northeast Illinois, where the heavy rains fell on a snowpack that completely melted, releasing meltwater equivalent to another ½" – 1” of rain".

Meanwhile, here it's been dry, dry, dry as a bone.

So anyway ... anyone up for a rational, fact-based, and civil discussion about the topic?

Hi Kiki,

Yes, I did. With a new story in the works I have to go back to an older one to check on something. It's a good thing that I have a habit of doing things long hand.

So am I. Maybe this week I can get some stuff done without worrying about falling but we shall see. Suppose to be dry here tomorrow.

Well... NW Indiana here and NE Illinois, most of the rest of my family. :(

My backyard was a marsh for about 2 days, but since my power didn't go out and my sump still works I was fine. Just got a few gallons of loose water on what would be the living area if my basement was finished. I don't think it would have gotten in there if I had installed my gutters already. It's on my spring to-do list. :)

That was really messed up for my bro though. The house was designed without a well or a pump because it's not low at all. The house has been up over 30 years and that's never happened before (so he says). I told him that if he wants to I'll help him dig a well and we'll put a pump in there with a long hose that he can pull out and put out of one of the windows in case this ever happens again. He's not set up at all for a proper sump system, but at least if he's home or somebody has the keys if they're on a vacation when this happens next time somebody can go down and get the pump going.

Do Right, Be Right. :)

Suppose to rain tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday. That will hopefully if it happens clear out what is left of the snow again.

The homeless guy we have been hiring is no longer homeless. YAY! He's fully settled in to his new (temporary) home. Was working at our place again over the weekend, so I got him a radio-clock-alarm and one of those clip-on LED lights for personal use.

I know it's very hard for formerly homeless to adapt back to home-based life. Apparently, the house has something of a "den mother" who cooks b'fast and dinner. But one of the things (let me call him "AL") said was that SHE said ... "I'm turning on the heat in the evening, you guys better shut your windows"

I hope AL can make it thru this transition. Next week I'm going to get him a personalized mug, and the week after that reading glasses, since his eyes aren't so good. I hope that will motivate him to stick with it: It's been really cold (for CA) the past week-plus; NOBODY should be out in the cold like that!
