    I didn't find it amusing either.
    In fact, I had to stop watching.

    Back to snow

    Supposed to snow again tomorrow night. 1-4". All our roads are clear, 1-2 inches on the grass, but it is bitter cold. Predicting -6F on Thursday night. That's frikkin cold in my neck of the woods! I went and bought replacement weather stripping for all my doors tonight. It was cold work; hope it makes a difference. Even replaced the doggie door, since the magnet has broken off and wind just blows the flap open.

    That's another thing...40 mph sustained winds predicted. This is not a typical Arkansas winter. Lots of people will have a rough go of it. Both my next-door neighbors had different HVAC companies working on their furnaces ALL day (sounds expensive). One of the technicians is a friend of mine, so I texted him that I was going to go change the filter in my furnace, to keep them at bay. It would not be good to have furnace trouble this week.

    I got my mom Yak Trax for Christmas. She says they work great on ice. I'm going to get some for myself. Too bad they don't make them for pooches! It's like having studded shoes.

    I found my studded tires in my storage shed. Unfortunately, I no longer have the mountain bike that they were on, though.

    This sounds like a great excuse to buy a new one.

    My Mom has Yak Trax too and loves them when she's shoveling her hilly driveway. Wouldn't mind having a pair myself right now. The sidewalks in the city might as well be skating rinks!

    A really silly trick but it works: put old socks over your shoes.

    Yes that does sound silly, but I'm willing to try anything at this point to stay upright. It's a bit scary out there!
