Troubadour has a countdown indicator marking the days until Spring.<br /><br />I grew up on a farm in Michigan and there was much more time to play in the winter than in the other seasons. I still get excited about winter but I tire of it much quicker. I am quite ready for spring.<br /><br />~kKeith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-54608962335915549322011-02-05T18:21:33.033-06:002011-02-05T18:21:33.033-06:00Dear Keith:

But those days are behind me now, and the the winters of my youth just keep me from riding. We have ice and freezing rain today, with another storm predicted for Tuesday. We've had the driveway plowed four times in the last month, and the snow is piled over six feet at the back fence. There are just 43 days until spring. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-84797555614965136322011-02-04T18:44:49.639-06:002011-02-04T18:44:49.639-06:00Gotta be on the lookout for sure!

But, that was the beauty of it: Hardly anyone was out on the main arteries and on the side streets nothing was moving. It was a near perfect situation.

There is a decent chance I'll never see that much again. Oh well, it was incredible yesterday, but by today it had turned as hard as concrete and while not as slippery as ice one still had to watch ones step.<br /><br />Here everyone is talking about how the forecasters goofed up, but actually they were spot on just West of here. We got lucky here because of some unexpected warm Gulf air turning our snow into sleet. 3" of sleet translates to 10" of snow.Keith - Circle Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11992667666539622569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8081254330907008604.post-50742297662663907022011-02-02T19:07:40.865-06:002011-02-02T19:07:40.865-06:00I always like what ice does to the trees and shrub...I always like what ice does to the trees and shrubs, but I'd give it up for warm and dry.
