Here on the east coast, it’s been pouring for two days and it’s still raining.  I’m glad all this rain isn’t snow.  If it had been, we’d be under several feet of the white fluffy stuff by now.  It has commonly happened to us here in the past.  I’m happy that so far this winter I haven’t had to go out and shovel snow.

     Over the years, I’ve taken pictures of the pathways we had to dig through the deep snow in our yard so the dogs could go out.  Our dogs aren’t little guys.  There was one year when Dear Hubby’s (four-wheel drive, extended cab) Chevy pick-up truck couldn’t make it out of our driveway because the snow was up to the top of the hood.

     I heard that Louisiana and Mississippi got snow.  Some areas even had a significant amount of snow, eight inches.  Therefore, to those of you in Mississippi and Louisiana I say drive carefully that white stuff is slippery.  In areas that get snow on a regular basis, gong under the speed limit when there’s snow on the ground is normal.  We learn this early. 

     Another snow tip: If you spray your shovel and snow blower chutes with cooking spray the snow slides off easily.
