I remember the milkman, bread man, dry cleaners, Dr. would all come to your house. My dad would too. He worked as a debt life ins salesman for Prudential Ins.

When I was very young, we took a family outing to the tallest skyscraper in Chicago. It was the Prudential building. It was kind of shrimpy compared to the John Hanccck and Sears Tower that were to come in the mid 70's. My Dad took the family to see the "New Prudential Building". I was impess w/ being in a skyscraper for the first time. I also got a big kick out of watching the WGN studios working there.

It is too bad we cannot ship the snow, to those places that need water.

The central part of CA could use it. They used to ship lettuce and other perishables using ice to keep them fresh. Every once in a while, the train would stop at special places for workers to get on top of the cars and continue to fill them w/ ice. Thus we have "Iceburg" Lettuce.

With this cold weather, I don't need a driveway that is picture perfect. We can get out and get in. Usually, I would clean it off more for Dogzilla, but he doesn't get to go out in this COLD weather. It affects his lil lungs.

usually this type of winter is superseded by more bad winters to follow...they come in groups, at least it was like this in the 70s

My Labs just loved the Winter here. We would walk the alley every day. Good for them. Good for me.

More yet today, and nasty cold weather still in the forecast. This winter came early and stayed winter all Winter long this year. I am READY for Spring this year. Looks like DQ opened. I think we will wait it out a while. It's not feeling even a little bit like Spring yet, not even a few days above freezing. You're not the only one tired of it MM..

They only have one 2-4 incher for this coming Saturday in the forecast . The other two to 4 snow events coming now will not even hit an inch or less for our area until Saturday that is a 2-4 incher.

sounds like clipper systems, very common, but maybe when some come from the south or west we'll get a big one?
