They sure got it wrong this year!! I really enjoyed seeing all the pictures. I lived in Ohio snow for 23 years and as I looked at the pictures I could feel the 'feel' of snow and temps. Good memories. COLD memories too! :-) I wonder what all our summers will be like?

Would appreciate very much any comparative insights your family has about these two popular cookstoves.<br /><br />Comment: In following up on your remarks about canning bacon strips wrapped in paper, I learned that "masking paper" is used primarily in construction and is probably not food grade. Would suggest that you might want to amend your blog on whole strip bacon canning to note that food grade parchment paper is what should be used.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-61281337275744953232017-03-02T00:30:51.479-08:002017-03-02T00:30:51.479-08:00Very mild winter here ( Kentucky) though there hav...

A little warmer and stormier than usual, but not off the scale.<br /> I've rode my bike to work in 8 inches of snow. As long as you're in snow, you' re fine.

We're coming from Texas, where we might get an inch of snow once every few years if we're lucky. I show your snow photos to my boys (10 and 5y/o) who are absolutely THRILLED to be moving to a place where it snows like this. Keep posting.

Very unusual for our metro area and just enough to make a big old mess of things. And more snow coming over the weekend.

It's that type thinking and sooo far out of touch with reality which is why they predominantly vote along liberal. And live in the city. <br /> Just think, it was not that many years ago what you're having was considered a "Normal" winter. And consider how lucky you are to have a tractor to push snow around with as opposed to moving it by hand, harness horses and struggle to pull sleds through it or simply wait till it melts. The beauty of snow it that you don't really have to shovel it cause it will melt eventually. Unlike dirt and rocks.....
