Ye gads, is all I can say this morning. After rolling out of bed and looking out my window, all I see is a DEEP blanket of white. There is probably a foot of heavy wet snow out there. Hard to tell for sure cause the wind is blowing it all over. Actually had to shovel a path on my deck for the girls to get out and that was almost knee deep. I woke up around 1 a.m. and thought I would look out and see what was going on. A wall of white out there and I saw on the weather reports from out local TV station, that about 4 miles north of me here, snow was reported coming down at the rate of 4 inches an hour. I don't doubt it as similiar reports are coming in elsewhere. Where there isn't snow, its icing and bringing down power lines. And "thundersnow" is occuring south of me. Indeed winter's "last hurrah". 125 schools are closed as well as our County Busssing System. Everything is pretty well ground to a halt.
As for me, I'm not sure which way this day is going. I do have an appt. with my financial advisor this afternoon, but more snow is coming in and I will probably wind up cancelling out, as my drive is drifted and the storm warning continues into this evening. I can't even tell where my drive is except for the markers along each side. And Tessa just went out to go potty and poor dog wound up wallowing in snow up to her tummy. Definitely deep, no question about it.
My stove hunt is over. Found the one I wanted and will be here on Saturday. Just got one with the electrical elements. Decided against the flat top ones. Just liked the looks and features of the GE I bought. Had been eyeing it for a while so said that's it. Funny thing was, when I went to ABC Warehouse to look at it again, it was gone
. Aw nuts. But while I was standng there, the guy came wheeling anothre one out from in back. He checekd the model number I had and yep, same stove. I said SOLD 
. So last night I made the last dinner in the oven of the old one. Lots of memories from that stove. All the meals fixed, the cakes, pizzas, cookies etc. we baked, the good times at the home on the lake etc.. Both my parents were still living then. I can still picture dad making his famous breakfasts for company and friends in the morning. And mom canning in the fall and the house smelling of tomato spices etc. Another chapter in my iife written and gone.So am going to run the vacum around here and work on my camping sign. Need to attach my nameplate to it. Put one more coat of poly on my little remote control holder and then who knows from there. Probably go out and clear an area for the girls to do "business" as they are going to have a heck of a time out there. Oh well, it's March.
So have a wonderful day all. If you are on the road, travel safe. If you are in the path of this storm, be ready.
