If you listen to the news it is armageddon and nobody can move. If you actually go outside there is about 4 inches and doesn't even slow things down.

2 weeks ago, they were predicting 4 feet(1.2M) of snow, and -30F temps, every station and weather alert was calling for the end of the world, stock up on supplies, call your loved ones, huddle in the corner.

it was -2, -18 after factoring wind chill, and we got 3".

Well, talking about Xmas presents, I am at my in-laws, sister-in-law's kids overloaded with presents.. Crazy amounts for a 4 and 2.5yr old... Over consumption and over dosing to the extreme.. the kids don't know where to look or where to start...

Today I learned that the British no longer have a desire to polish their shoes... Kiwi Polish have withdrawn from the UK market...

Today you will learn that I love polishing my footwear.. the whole ritual is so satisfying, calming and therapeutic!
