Loving wife just asked,"Was that thunder"?

"No", says I.

Then one bright flash and a house rattling thunder clap later, I stood corrected.

Iowa is so much fun!

We had that one time that I remember in 1993. That was our "blizzard". It was something like 10 or 12 inches over about 24 hrs

We need to gang up on Shameless and show him how to adjust that machine proper. Drove to Chaska Mn for training last weekend in fog. Cooled and snowed all day every day messin up traffic. Kept us locked down in hotel all week. Come home Friday in patchy ice to all ice at home.
