    Storm

    The only preparation required where I live (Georgia) will be an umbrella.

            Snow blowing

            Got up at 5 am to blow the driveway out so the wife and son in law could get out to work. Only had about five inches down over night but another 8-12 inches predicted over the day. My kids schools are all closed.

                It's really gonna be bad here in Central Texas, we'll never get above 80 degrees, but the wind is suppose to be 10 mph, so it'll really feel like 75.

                        second blow

                        Just finished blowing the driveway a second time, this time I threw about 8 inches of snow. Takes about an hour to do the whole thing.
                        Geez Mo, you have to take some time in the fall to service your equipment.
