You're "so done with Winter", (I feel your pain and cold feet too); but I don't think Winters done with You yet-
It's been a long brutal winter up there....
There was a day, decades actually when no amount of cold seemed to slow me down (to much), or get to me. Now, with metal in the lumbars, rh shoulder too, when temps drop below 50 degrees; I become a human popsicle shaped thermometer.... as much as I long for the northwest or northeast, it's never gonna' happen... My last trip to the snow, pic below:....
the Mts all around us got blanketed with snow this weekend, today: sunny, not a cloud in sight, no wind!!!! 68 degrees....

I got a couple of Indian and other Shamans together; and we climbed the highest Mt. We built a big bonfire, sent some smoke signals to the Gods; and ordered the Sunshine to head your way. I could of swore I heard a loud booming, but distant voice say: "Ok, but by the time we get there, and pick up steam along the way, we will be ice crystal snow clouds by the time we get there".....
Rob you are crazy.

Rob you are crazy.
My Mom dropped me on my head at birth....lol. Actually, I just feel laughter is a gift, and the best medicine possible. I need all the laughter right now I can get.
I'm going in this Friday for gallbladder removal, its not only full of gallstones, its severely diseased. 20 days later, a 3rd and last surgery; it's gonna' be a long long month. So yep, laugh if you can, as often, as much as possible....
Feel better Rob..... Everything will work out.

Down here in Jersey I estimate 8-12 inches, of which sucks..........I Fell on my ass four times while using the snow thrower. I was smart enough to take 3 Acetaminophen before attempting this mission. Whacked the right elbow on the sidewalk too.
I see there is a State of Emergency in New Jersey right now, Stay inside Stamp.

I literally just saw that. More snow and/or heavy rain. No doubt going to drop more powder in some areas. Those streets of NY/NJ, Philly, et al, have got to be crazy this time of year, especially since the snow bombs have been one after another....
My heads spinning trying to keep up with the consistency of N.E. cyclone bombs and or bomb threats... and now freaking Thunder Snow, wtf-, Vic's back at it-
This Vic just put up Yesterday (Wed 3/07)-

Be careful out there brother, seriously. My Detroit buddies wife; just days prior to Xmas in upstate youpers of Mich., her Sisters Husband went outside to snow blow the drive and sidewalk. To make a long story short, the Wife heard the blower, and noticed after awhile there was no movement, not out of the blower; not out of her Husband who was dead on the ground, literally a stiff, pun intended wth. She tells me, you'd be surprised how many elder men go out to blow snow, and either have a massive coronary, or fall and break their legs, hips, arms, et al.
My Grandma at age 95, a frail brittle elder, slipped on Ice under Snow in western Ks. Broke her Fibula; was told by Hospital, her hearts to bad to operate & put a plate in, hold t/bones together.
But- she wasn't to bad off to have her leg amputated at the knee, once her foot, ankle, and calf was gangrene. 2 wks later, her heart was strong enough to take the leg off at the hipbone, she survived that by a week; then died of gangrene/septic blood. Had they off done the right thing first time, she would of never developed life ending gangrene....
Take a look at these Snow Warrior Suits; tho' I'd recomend Option #2**. You will be able to survive doomsday, or a bomb cyclone, Zeus Lightning, Zombie attacks. Tho' I'd recomend Option #2**-
A- Full Body Armor Snow Warrior and Zombie Destroyer (Flame-thrower sold seperately) EMP Hardened
Option: GPS Guidance White Out Proof Telemetry Vision.
B- For the Missus, or Snow Huntress .... (Not Zombie Proof) Non-EMP Hardened
C- (Newark/Philly stay inside Bro's), The Full Body Commando Bling Bitch, dipped in Pennzoil, for brother Isaac ... (Feathers optional)
OPTION 2- Recomended with or without Suits....

geezus, will the snow and/or inclimate weather ever stop...
4th Nor-Easter in 3 weeks; several areas looking at record snowfall(s) in a season.
https://www.wunderground.com/cat6/fourth-noreaster-row-throws-shade-second-day-spring
Seem's like the Hurricanes of last season were never ending, now spring's upon us and 75 million in harms way with power outages to come. Never ending...
Out here, flash flood warnings; and landslide warnings are awaiting. Will that hill stay put or not....

Do You recall any year NY got this much snow-??? Anyone else-???
Our Winter was the mildest on record; didn't even drop to freezing until early March. Now the rains never ending, very badly needed in Caly; yet creating a shit load of nasty/deadly mudslides after a state record of Wildfires.
The Sierra Nevada Mt range, have regained their snow pack for the 2nd yr in a row. After a decade of serious droughts, which devastated many farmers, even local residentials quit watering their yards 2 yrs ago. The outcome pure shit for yards.
This yr Mammoth Mt has had 43** feet of snow overall. This St relies on the SNV Mt range, to provide water to the entire St. We're at 200% of the norm this yr alone. 90% last winter. Largest snow pack since 83. Yet the local San Gabriels, (those Mts you see in the backdrop of the Rose Parade and Rose Bowl), just got their 1st snow 2 weeks ago. So go figure, it's impossible for anyone to predict weather out here...
I used to snow-ski at Mammoth, and can recall years where the snowpack was 68 feet or more...
In 2006... The Snow didn't melt until May.

The Winter of 97 saw Atlanta get more snow than NYC, hard to believe but true. Kim's parents flew in from JFK to Hotlanta, and had to wait several days to get a flight out of Atlanta. Next yr if I'm not mistaken NYC got hit real hard, as if to make up for a lesser snowfall t/prior yr.
That's correct good memory Rob.
We are getting 3-5 inches of Snow again on Monday I should of stayed in Florida.
I hate the cold weather

Holy cow again times 5. No specific names attached to this one like a bomb cyclone,?? That's been one Relentless winter up there... It will be 80 plus degrees out here in the Mojave for the next week or two... when it rains it snows, I mean pores.
Don't forget the bread and milk!! Or the tortillas and wine!!
