Took about 2.5 hrs with the cops there and all. They hadn’t stolen anything yet and all of my posted signs have been torn down so there was no charge other than the 200 that the tow truck charged him. Two cops thought he was on meth and one thought it was crack. What a morning.

Thats Sad that they couldn't get a trespassing charge just because its not posted.

It won’t be long before they have contact with him again besides the sermon I missed this morning was all about forgiving. Nothing stolen yet and no damage other than a five foot long rut to fill in. All is forgiven far as I’m concerned

Meh , this is not bad , condolences to those with a snowfall of 1' to 2' . It's a PIA for sure. But could be worse. I've lived through this :
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeastern_United_States_blizzard_of_1978
We got almost 4' in a 24 hour period. Our governor at the time , Ella Grasso shut down the state for 3 days , no traffic on the roads at all.
Once you have lived through something like this , you learn to rely on yourself instead of relying on the government. They just don't have enough resources. This was long way before 'preppers' was a thing. If you live in the snow belt , you need to be prepared. Have food , fuel for heat (especially if the power goes out) I have multiple sources of heat for when the power going out , you need to survive.
Ya learn through tough times. Just like my ancestors learned from the depression , don't rely on the government for help.

We got about 6 or 8 inches here, a glaze of ice at the bottom, then heavy and wet on top. Turned cold, dried out, then blew all over with 30-40 mph winds. Roads drifted and glazed, pretty nasty until yesterday mid day.

We got about 6" where I live. But, the blowing and drifting made it seem like a lot more.


The difference between animals and humans is that animals would never let the dumbest ones lead the pack.

We got ice Saturday morning changing to snow good for about 4 inches. Then it turned to rain Saturday night for about 3 hrs. Temperature dropped and everything iced up and got another 4 inches of snow Sunday morning. Lake band sat up over us on Sunday and we got another 3 inches . Oh did I mention wind with 35 to 45 mph gusts! Second weekend in a row with wind and and ice. Next weekend looks like more icing Saturday and Sunday! Unreal.

It's not the snow that is the problem as it was 5 inches of powder. It is always the wind at 60 mph gusts, and we were 20 below for 2 nights and below zero in the days, for ground blizzards. All the rich farmers here leave nothing on the fields, so my 5 inches is 10 inches blowed in, and it packs in like concrete. Had a calf die, a chicken die and a cat die, even with shelter, but that is the toll. The turkeys and pheasants will be melting out in those that died in the storm.

My entertainment was watching the lumber guy driving around to his parents house, with a brand new pickup and blade. He had more trouble keeping it on the road with that front loaded weight than he should have. Also I heard this Indy race car VAROOM on the road as this blizzard was going on, and figured some idiot got stuck. Walked out to the corner today and some dolt had plowed a 40 foot trail in 3 feet of snow in the ditch. Someone pulled them out, but the intelligence of people is in question in driving that fast on ice in a storm on back roads, and then hung up in concrete snow, gunning an engine to almost blowing it up. As I drive old things, I enjoy watching 40,000 vehicles being destroyed by their retard owners.

2-3 inches.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

We got close to 4 or 5 inches but 35 mph winds out of SE for 12 hrs and then switched out of NW winds for another 20 hrs.
