What do you guys think, should we send some of this ice down to Jim in Texas so he will have something to go with that 3 inches of snow he's pushing? /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif

Thanks for the nice compliments Tom and Don. I'm awfully fond of my place and constantly surprised at all the natural beauty and wildlife I'm so lucky to have. I like your picture too, Don. The contrast of the cactus in the snow is an accurate icon for Texas weather. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
To all the guys who want to ship us some of their ice storm, I just want to say, "No thanks!." I think ice storms are the most destructive types of winter storms. They normally cover a much larger area than even tornados. Three years ago, there were thousands of old trees destroyed here when we had an ice storm so bad that all the limbs collapsed around the trunks of the trees. I drove around with tears in my eyes just seeing so many stately old trees that had to be cut down. I hate ice storms and all the guys experiencing them have my sympathy.

Frank, I didn't just have fun, I had lots of fun. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif Of course, if I had to repeat the process, tomorrow, and the next day, and on and on... I might get tired of it pretty quickly. For one day though, it was great fun. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Frank, it's just 35 right now, supposed to get into the 50s today, and the high for the next three days is forecast to be in the high 60s. My brother sent me an e-mail to say we've got tee times of 10 a.m. Wednesday. /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

That's right Bird, rub it in. Those guys laugh at us when we're working outside in 100 degree weather during the summer or, what's worse, when I'm in that old Massey with a cab and no air conditioner. I swear that mobile greenhouse is 130 degrees for most of the summer.

Now that's a bad combination. My hay farmer neighbor who had 3 air-conditioned tractors told me there were just two problems with owning cab tractors: (1) it seemed so bad when he had to get out of that air-conditioned cab to work on the haybine, baler, or whatever, and (2) when the air-conditioner quit, he had to quit, too. He said even with the doors open, no way he could stay in there with the sun shining through that glass.
