Re: Mid-winter thaw?
You believe this? A week ago we had anywhere from 8-10 inches or more on the ground throughout the whole area. Yesterday we talked severe weather. I LOVE Northeast Ohio!

It's sooo windy here right now. So bad that it seems that last night several drain gutter things came off - I lost those little 'elbow' ones!  Found 6 of the smaller 'straight' ones, but not the 'elbows'.
Also, across the street, up the block, a tree had to be cut down - not an old one - maybe 5yrs old. With all the snow and rain, 3/4 of the roots were 'up'...making the tree lean towards other trees by the corner house. City crew - Asplunkh(sp?) was here. Watched the cherrypicker guy saw some of the upper small limbs. He then moved down about 3' - gave a shove to the trunk - entire tree went down on the lawn - just missing the corner tree (which should be removed also cuz the limbs are really ugly and are stretching across the street! - but the city won't do it ). Anyway, those roots have a diameter of about 3'. Crew chainsawed the trunk into pieces...they left...leaving the damned roots on the tree lawn!  Now why didn't they take that thing? Allied (BFI) won't take it on p/u day. They also didn't take the sawdust from the trunk - 12' worth of sawdust in a line. Half-a**ed job...again!
It's too cold for me to even go anywhere and too windy...I want to be safe. My little '99 Hyundai Accent doesn't like that wind, so I'll just stay inside and be warm and comfortable.

When I was a Nun |
said by LadyL  :It's sooo windy here right now. My little '99 Hyundai Accent doesn't like that wind, so I'll just stay inside and be warm and comfortable. Since all our snow and ice melted, I've been doing my 4.25 mile round trip walk route outside again, rather than on to boring treadmill in the basement.
With the winds fighting me, it's been pretty tough for me to push my 153 pounds on the return trip back home. If I had been a different kind of Nun, I'd be flying!  |

I did go out anyway. My CPA died on 1/31 (a shock to everyone - he was only 55)...family members called all customers to come and get all their old copies of tax returns - or else we could let them shred them. I decided to venture out. If my Hyundai was a Catamaran, it would have broken all the sailing records - gusts were really bad. At times the little green car was being moved to the berm - all by itself! Got there and back ok - but it was kind of scary/interesting to watch the semis doing the same 'dance' as me.
Just finished shredding returns going back to 1982 - that's equal to 1-1/2 reams of paper!
Now to relax and watch a few dvds.
