I start at stage 3. Just sit back with a cup of coffee at the computor, turn on the selective hearing and let the wife rattle on. I am just thankful that she doesn't

This winter, in Minnesota, has been "Mickey Mouse". Not too much cold and and not much snow. I think I've only had the winter coat out a half dozen times. But I know that for some, especially on the right coast of the US, it's been nasty.

 

So if you are living though it here are a couple of tips.

• dress in layers, a lot of them. Wool is a very good insulator. Don't for get a hat.
• even though clearing the snow off the roof can be important, it's really dangerous. Better to hire a pro.
• if you have dangerously cold temps and there is any chance of water pipes freezing, let your water run at a trickle. Moving water is much less likely to freeze
• have issues driving your car, the best thing is radial chains. They really work both to get going and stopping - but if your stuck-  kitty litter under the tires can help and gently rock the car moving the gear shift from drive to reverse - the rocking motion should increase with each change and get high school kids to push

Remember Spring is only 31 days away so you are almost there.

I guess I'm stuck at stage 1. I'm waiting for the big one. I doubt that we will get 10 inches or more but if we do it will probably be in March.

 

Hey, just for the record, spring training has started.
