So sad and scarey,terrifying really.....it's seems to have been going on for far too long.Nature is really letting us know she's not to be messed with......9c and cloudy but no sign of threatened storms from the south west. (yet)
 
The way we are treating nature its of no surprise she is kicking back the way she does. Forest management here has been increasing the flammability of our forests by planting more conifers in areas that were once mixed forests. Conifers are full of highly combustible sap that are not present in our deciduous trees. Its an ugly cycle we have set up for ourselves.
-15 with increasing cloudiness.
 
Slightly c0oler today but they expect the reprieve to last only 24-48 hrs then back to high temps. The NSW water bombing fleet of aircraft was grounded yesterday when another chopper went down with power failure. They are not meant to operate under those conditions you would just about have to change filters every day, the engine on yesterdays chopper was on fire just prior to it going down. The pilot got out with minor injuries. New Zealand is not happy with us. The smoke from the fires is turning their glaciers red and causing them to melt quicker. Still no rain nor any likelihood of rain. It will not be a merry Christmas this year. Ron.
 
I know what you mean Ron.....it doesn't feel right to be jolly with all that's going on worldwide..I've always said that xmas isn't a happy time for everyone,and it's getting worse every year.For us it's just another day to get through unscathed.
Cold,showery and blustery today.
 
Had a really nice time at Stratford-upon-Avon yesterday. Went to the Victorian Xmas market with friends, bought a new Xmas hedgehog from the Xmas shop there. Weather was good, but not so good today. Expecting a lot of wind and rain this coming week.

Really wish i could send the rain to Aus. It's so bad out there at the moment. I know they are all used to wildfires but this must be some kind of record. So, very, very sad. Hadn't thought about the water turning to steam, Ron. But with that intensive firewall i suppose it would. Stay safe Ron, and use a face mask if necessary.
 
-7 gray. I changed the oil yesterday. I didn't fell like going out and laying down in the snow under the truck, but nobody else is going to do it and it saves me $50 if I do it myself. The thought of $50 motivated me knowing the deep freeze is coming, I better do it. Actually it was not so bad, with the engine warmed up it was quite comfortable under there. By tonight the temps are expected to drop close to -30 and not rising much during the day. Once it gets cold the only thing good to do is go cross country skiing or staying close to the wood furnace.
 
Sunny today, but rather windy again. Probably just spend the day having a tidy up.

Pleased you got the job done Buff. Sounds like you're going to have a winter just skiing or just keeping warm. Is all your food stuffs in? Or do you nip to the shop?
 
-19 with some snow. The cold is settling in now and the next few days will be the deep freeze. I keep the pantry well stocked in case I cannot get out due to bad weather or health. I also keep a lot of fuel on hand for the same reasons as well as buying in bulk when prices are low. I went for a good ride on the snowmobile yesterday, it sure beats me up, and I have to check to see that my colostomy bag remains attached, however a good short ride brings out the bit of youth that still resides in me. With the cold, skiing will be prefered as the excersise keeps one warm and one sees far more natural beauty up close than on the snowmobile.
 
Cloudless blue skies and breezy...…..2c- now at 5-30pm.Severe weather warning in the s.west….(,storm Atiya,Gift From God in Arabic ?) correct me if I'm wrong. But of course nothing like the cold in Canada or the hellish fires in Australia .Take good care of yourselves ..CHRIS where are you ????
 
Heat starting to build again, more unpleasant this time with humidity at 72 %. The fires are still burning in both states and the only thing likely to put them out Is significant rain. At present that is unlikely. More tragedy across the ditch in New Zealand with the eruption of the white island volcano. There was a group of tourists on a tour of the island at the time including several Australians. Of the 50 people on the island at the time five are confirmed dead some are injured and in hospital and some left the island with minutes to spare. There are 9 people believed to be still missing on the island. It is considered too dangerous to go ashore to look for them. Ron.
 
Smoke was so bad in Sydney this morning that they cancelled the harbour ferries. It is now being considered a severe health risk, as if I didn't know that. We were given further proof of how bad things are today when the SE coastal area of Queensland was declared a drought area along with 70% of the rest of the state. It is one of the longest running droughts in our history. We are getting 30c+ days and are night temps are around 24-5 c. It is very hard to get any sleep let alone a good nights sleep. There is a low hovering around the north of the state , that's the only area not drought declared. Ron.
 
Higher winds here with some rain. Not exactly cold though. Can't believe we're one third of December already. Omg, the days are whizzing past.

I read today that the pollution from wildfires over Sydney is at an all time high now. sounds dreadful. Just seen on the news too that another person has died from the volcano erupting. So sad, and the ones in hospital have severe burns. Some holiday trip!

Sounds like you're about to start enjoying the real winter activities, Buff.
 
-27C under cobalt blue skies. The house is warm with the wood furnace running, in contrast I just stepped out to the outhouse and it felt very invigorating. I will go for a good long ski later on in the afternoon. The news coming out from down under is quite awful. They showed the pictures of the volcano that went up and the rescue helicopter buried in dust. Its a dire situation with the ongoing fires. Ron I don't think I could survive without a window airconditioner unit in those conditions you are enduring.
 
Cold and sparkley bright .Such really bad and sad news from N.Z. I don't know what to say really,it's just more awful news that the world can do without...…...Diane,how are you doing ? Have you finished the chemo ? Hope you're well,you sound cheerful but it could be a cover up.
 
-26 Sunny. Went for a long ski yesterday and made it nearly half way up the trail. We are just under 8 hours of daylight and it gets dark at 4Pm. I enjoy the early sunsets at this time of year for the long evenings. Its warm and cozy with the wood furnace a warm cat on my lap with a glass of Scotch. Winter is my favorite season and this is one my reasons for it.
 
The fire fight goes on in NSW and to a lesser degree in Qld. Wildlife researchers have said for native animals in the burnt zones it has been almost complete annihilation due the destruction of the under growth and the canopy, very sad. . Three more Australians passed away in hospital last night taking the Australian toll so far to nine with several others still missing. again very sad. Brisbane got thumped by a massive and unpredicted storm last night. Fortunately not a lot of damage but they received 100 mm in an hour. Possibly our turn tonight. I am getting no sleep from the heat. The neuropathy in my feet and legs is going into spasms all night with nerve pain. I feel like I am getting an electric shock every ten minutes. Ron.
 
-23 clear and calm. I went for a supply run and also to get some ointment for my ring worm rash around my stoma that is make it difficult to keep the bag glued to my body. I have to be careful not to pull the thing loose as colostomy supplies do not come cheap. I don't like making the long drive in these cold conditions, I keep the truck well maintained but still one can never know and I would not want to be stuck along the long remote roads when its in the -20's. Today I can go out and put in some time on the skis.
 
Another very warm day to day . They have retrieved all but two of the people missing on the White island volcano today. they think the last two may be in the water. Several Australians have been evacuated to speciality burn wards in hospitals here. They don't think that all will survive as several of the victims inhaled hot acid steam . Just about all of Australia is in the grip of a heat wave with temps over 40c. We had some super cells sweep up the coast again today. They missed us but hit Gympie with hail the size of oranges . I do my final three days at work next week and will finish up by cleaning out the workshop. Ron.
 
My GI doc called yesterday and wants to scope my rectal area early in the new year. The sense of urgency sends many thoughts through my mind, but I will deal with it when the outcome is. At least I am getting this thing checked out, as the rectal bleeding does not want to quit. Went for a ski, but its not the same when I am constantly aware of the bag wanting to come loose due to the rash. Ron, mentioning your last days on the job and cleaning out your work station brings back the memory of my last day on the job, I often wish I could go back, its bittersweet.
-15C and expecting a little snow.
 
Never look back,even happy memories bring a certain amount of sadness.Look forward with hope,you never know what good days are ahead.
5c here today and sunny.Off to the park to feed the ducks and little birds.We get our pleasure where we can and it doesn't take much.
Seems like Australia is still in trouble.Look after yourself Ron x
 
Two more of the volcano victims passed away in hospital today, many of those being treated in Australian hospitals are in critical condition. It was hot today and will get hotter over the next week. No sign of rain just wild storms. Ron.
 
Severe bushfires near Perth, fire fighters are credited with saving over 1000 homes when an out of control grassfire swept thru one of the outer suburbs. Fires burning out of control in remote areas of Victoria. Sydney is once again under a pall of smoke with blue mountain blazes re-intensifying. we need hundreds of mm's of rainto clear the air ,damp down the fires and refill dams. Ron . 32c here today, 34c tomorrow. Ron.
 
Sunny today. Yesterday was wet and very windy. The cold was biting too. Had to go to hospital for bloods and will again tomorrow and Tuesday for onc appt and chemo no. 6. I'm thinking i will hibernate after that.

You'll not know what to do with yourself after next week Ron. Good luck with the retirement. You thoroughly deserve it. Enjoy.
 
I'm mainly in survival mode at the moment Di. to many Christmas shoppers around for my liking and tomorrow they are predicting 39c . The hot weather makes sleeping very difficult specially without air con. Good luck with the next round of chemo ,hugs Ron.
 
Yeah, i love the whole thought of Christmas shopping, but then i hit the crowds and think "sod this, i'm too old and poorly", lol.

I decided to buy a real Xmas tree this year, despite already buying an artificial one. I think the planet needs more trees, so in the garden it will go. Whether i will get to see it grow i have no idea. It is however, one extra tree on the planet. I will prob manage to kill it before i plant it lol.
 
Perth still under threat from a large fire. It is shaping up for a really hot day today. They are predicting 39c for us and the western suburbs of Brisbane will reach 43c. The heat is knocking me about. They are still saying there is no rain in sight. It has been a difficult year. Ron.
 
The temp in Nambour reached 41.2c today with quite a bit of smoke. it was almost impossible to breathe out in the sunshine. Fire fighters are still trying to put out a large fire threatening Sydney. Unfortunately their efforts to back burn went badly wrong and it is believed up to twenty homes may have been lost. A new fire has started just south of Bundaberg and is racing thru acres of macadamia trees in a huge plantation. On the heat scale map the centre of Australia is purple. Oodnadatta in the middle of the purple is expecting a week of 48c temps. Our stupid pollies are standing up in front of the world and telling them we are doing more that most countries in regard to climate change. For goodness sakes , wake up and smell the bushfires you idiots. Rant over Ron.
 
Overcast with a cold breeze. Been to the hospital today, that one's out the way, going for chemo no.6 tomorrow.

Australia has an awful situation. It's so sad that people cannot gain control of the devastation sweeping their lands. those temps will turn Australia to ashes the way things are going. Not much into Summer either. I really hate to think how the next 2.5 months will pan out over there, but stay safe Ron.

This isn't a brag, but we're getting more of the wet stuff this week. Roll on Summer, lol.
 
-15 Sunny. Miserable last couple of days dealing with a blockage in my stricture of the resection. Been on a liquid diet and introduced solid food this morning for breakfast. Still soar, and am taking it slow and easy. Nothing else to say, just in survival mode. I understand Ron, the problem is in our country the governments have turned climate change in to a profitable scam. They take our money from the carbon tax and none of it has gone into any kind of plan to help solve the problem, rather they are only making it worse.
 
Today is better, or perhaps a temporary break. When the pain comes on it becomes more than indescribable, and makes one wonder how much pain the body can take before breaking down. I wouldn't wish this kind of pain upon anybody, the GI apt cannot come soon enough.
-18 with a flurry
 
Sorry you are in so much pain Buff, I really feel for you. I have had several bouts of uric acid kidney stones and one acute bout of pancreatitis when gall stones blocked off my pancreatic duct. Nothing touches the pain and it is impossible to describe. I wish you a quick resolution. Ron
109 fires still burning in NSW and 69 in Qld. some serious fire weather heading towards the east coast with some record high temps and no rain. Ron
 
A severe fire broke out (or was started) at Perigian springs just to the north of me and another started at Noosa. A lot of residents had to be evacuated and quite a few homes were at risk. Australia suffered temps in a lot of areas that were the highest ever recorded resulting in catastrophic fire danger. It is to be hoped that those on Christmas holidays camping in the bush heed the total fire bans . Ron.
 
Lovely weather here aside from the cold, but not Buff's type of cold, lol. Nice and sunny until the howling wind and driving rain turns up for a few days. Fog was really bad driving home from hospital last night. It was really bad.

I've just read about Australia in the papers. The fire maps look horrendous. Sincerely hope that the fire doesn't reach you Ron. Just awful to think that someone might ignite a fire, omg!

Buff, hope your health holds out until you get your appointment.
 
A bit of a setback after making some progress. I was going to try some chicken yesterday but was talked out of it and perhaps for good reason. Pains during the night and feel poor this morning. Going to stay on the soft food liquid diet. Two more people I know are in the obituaries today, I hope that is not a bad omen. -30 under blue cobalt skies, the house did not cool off since I was constantly getting up during the night due to the discomfort feeding wood to the furnace. Its expected to warm up.
 
NSW bushfires are beyond belief .A major flare s/w of Sydney over ran a fire truck. Five firies in hospital , three with serious burns. 20 more homes lost . their south coast fires are totally out of control with no chance of containment. Heat wave conditions for the whole east coast for the next week. NSW asked for a team from Qld but our situation is not much better. The average temp from 89 places across Australia today was 41.9c. The Prime minister has gone on holidays. Useless clown. I really don't know how much worse things can get . Ron.
 
Just seen this on the BBC 1o/c news. Looks awful. So sad for the firemen involved. Sounds dreadful. Stay safe and out of the smoke.

Dull out. Tonnes of mud and water over the lanes. A couple of vehicles have come off the road and hit the hedges/verges. They've forgotten to allow for the winter weather i assume. We all need to slow down when the lanes/roads are that bad. Serves them right i suppose. but hope no one was hurt.

Just seen on the weather, Ron. Australia should cool down over the next few days. Not cool by our standards though. Good luck for the summer, Ron. Am thinking of you.

Last day at work, it has finally arrived. Has anyone heard from Mack? Hang in there Buff. Ron.

Very best wishes Ron.I hope your days are so full you won't know how you had time to go to work.That's if you want busy days of course.Me,I'm happy just faffing about.....10c here with a couple of light showers.... Chris has shown up today on the Joke thread. Just as a "like" but at least he's around.

Staying the course, I tried solid food last night but couldn't get more than a few fork fulls down before giving in and returning to the liquid diet. The whole world is watching the fires in Australia. Ugly looking, stay safe Ron. I hope Chris comes around to visit us on this thread. -12 with sunshine, it feels tropical outside compared to the last few days.
 
More grief for the volunteer fire fighters last night. In the same area that three of them were hospitalised with burns after fire engulfed their truck another truck was hit by a falling tree with two dead and three injured. The report said that dozens of homes had been lost in the same fire. To me it is not un expected, these men and women have been fighting fires non stop since early spring. The Prime Minister gave an apology for going on leave under the current circumstances and is cutting his holiday short. The heat and fires are having a major impact on food. Some prices have jncreased dramatically and a lot of fruit and veges supplies are poor. SA and Victoria are expecting high temps today. Over in Perth an advice has been given for a toxic algal bloom in the swan river. It is believed to have been caused by consistently high temps. The advice is not to eat any sea food (fish, shellfish, prawns or crabs ) from the river. 29-30c here today and gradually increasing over the next week. Ron.
 
There are continual updates in our papers and on our news Ron. People are wondering just how bad it will get as the summer is nowhere near ending. We'll just have to pray for rain.

bucketing down here. No sign of any blue sky, in fact the clouds are so low it's almost depressing. Not that it's a problem compared to Australia.
 
Forgive me,but I thought that this thread referred primarily was about. or not, what has been happening in one's local vicinity.. Politics has no part in this discussion.People, animals and properties in that order are to the fore.. Come what may, we will survive, grieve our dead and regroup. That is the Australian way. And . for those of you that are young enough to remember Britain after the ww2 wil know what I allude to.. The glass, invariably, tends to be half full.

Not too bad out. Not that i've been out at all. The 6th chemo has made me pukey. Even the anti-sickness meds are coming up. Feeling like crap.

Looking horrendous still in Aus. Stay safe, the worlds volunteer firepeople should go and help. I would if i could. Even if it saved some wildlife. Guess their habitats will take a few years to recover. That's if some wildlife lives. Poor sods. There are videos of the flames up the mountains. Just pleased it doesn't happen here.
 
Why do i suspect you're all doing Xmas shopping lol. I was the last one yesterday and no one today.

Australia still looks bad. However, another sunny day here. Again, cold wind so chilly out. I have the tips of my Spring flowers through. Really excited. Got lots of small birds singing in the trees (from my neighbour and the roots are under our bungalows) and the flock of raucous jackdaws have virtually gone.

Shortest day over. I normally celebrate the day, but too pukey, just looking forwards to Spring now. Stay safe Ron, we all want you enjoying your retirement. All you got is smoke. I bet you have to stay indoors.
 
No xmas shopping for me D,. there was no-one around so thought I'd have some time off.....I have bought another jacket though,4th this winter,and some PJs.Not a bad day here.Wonder if we're going to have bad weather Jan _ Feb.?..Hope you feel better over the festivities and have better health next year.That goes for all the weather whingers of course.
 
Merry Christmas. Life is great. The LOL upstairs asked me to feed her cat last night. I went out to feed it and the door slammed shut locking me out . I had to jimmy one of the casement windows to get in (my dinner was cooking on the stove). Today will be spent repairing the damage I did,HO HO HO ,Ron.
 
Nice to see you Chris.....6c and sunny over here.Going over to the park to feed the birds / ducks,then back home to try and get over this day
with a smile.I'm very unhappy on Xmas day.I do have a good book so that's a plus......Ron,seems like you're determined to keep yourself busy hahaha.All of you,have the best day you can and look forward to next year with hope.
 
We had some rain today. They said to expect around 70 mm. We received just under 9mm. I didn't even get damp fixing my window. Millions of people on holidays. It was a silly time to retire, lots of things I want to do but not with all of that boat and jet-ski traffic. Plus there is nowhere to park with all the traffic. I guess I have to wait till they all go back to work. Have started with my dec -jan bouts of vertigo. Thank goodness for stemetil. Ron.
 
Aw, Ron. That's typically my luck too. I bet you've gone off cats truly. That really isn't the sort of rain Australia needs.

Lovely sunny day here. Like a few of you i'm spending it at home on my own. I got myself a turkey portion. Just notice it's smothered in pepper! Not sure if my cats like pepper. Will prob wash it off, lol.

Great to have you back with us Chris.

Sounds lovely to sit in the park on such a sunny day, Carol.


MERRY CHRISTMAS, EVERYONE HERE.
 
Merry Christmas to all, feeling better after a long nasty spell of it. Going to have roast chicken which I have not had for a long time. Staying off the snowmobile as I was badly beaten up by it last week going to the cabin, we could use more snow as its been a dry season leaving the trails rough. The ski trail is a bit thin too, but enough to go.
 
The rain and gloom are back. Australia really could have done with this amount of rain lately, not to mention cloud cover. They are experiencing the wrong type of gloom there. Bet you can't wait to go and disturb those fish, Ron, lol.

Be safe out there, buff. Yeah, tis good to have you back, Chris. Wondered if you'd had an accident on the bike or skis or something.
 
It doesn't happen that often thankfully, but we are getting rain and its just above the freezing mark. After several good winters in a row this one appears to have become a dud. With my health the way it is, one upside has been very little snow shoveling to deal with and less firewood to handle, but I'd rather have the dry arctic cold than this dampness.
 
Well , another one hits the dust! A major Aussie supermarkets is , as of today selling Easter Hot Cross Buns. Now that is why that you may assume that I am not a fan of what Christmas has become. What ever happened to'Peace on Earth......? Never mind,soldier on with the equipment that you have ans keep your powder. May 2020, be as happy and healthy for you as it possibly can. With love. M
 
Omg, hot cross buns?! The eggs will follow, lol. I agree. Put it back where it belongs, and stop ruining the festivities by dragging them out to the level of extreme boredom.

Was lovely and sunny this morning. I can see two snowdrop heads nice and white waiting to grow upwards, but felt tired so went and laid down and now it's nearly dark. Oh, well. These are very short days, especially some. Let see what tomorrow brings.
 
Had a good day yesterday, but my heart gave me that reminder not all is good down below in the boileroom, but at least the lights are on. Greed is the norm for marketers these days. I hate it when I am looking for things I need in winter, but the stores are already moving winter gear out of the way for garden equipment and other summer goods while we are thigh deep in snow with months to go.
 
Total fire bans in the southern states. Victoria still has 3 large fires burning in remote areas of Gippsland and are expecting 43c today. A lot of people holidaying in the area have been told to evacuate immediately. Bad in SA with high temps ,storms and dry lightning predicted. Ok at the moment in Qld with most fires contained and temps in the low 30.s and high 20's. My ex went over to Fiji for a Christmas break only to have the islands hit by a cyclone. It was a bumpy plane ride home yesterday.Ron.
 
10c+ again and a nice day.We had a pleasant walk down to the river mouth.Lots of people about with dogs and kids on new bikes and scooters (not the dogs) and queues for seats at the fish resteraunts.I don't care how hungry I was I wouldn't queue...….
and of course,when we walk down to the river we have to walk back up the bank hanging onto each other pretending it's not a problem...I used to RUN up the banks with the dogs. what seems like only a few years ago....I would give up chocolate if only I could run again
 
Really quite mild again today. Had to go and have a CT done today. Was really nice out. I actually stopped at a couple of shops in town and bought a new diary and calendar. Also got some new slippers in the sale. My old ones are tatty (prob due to venturing into the garden in them trying to spot hedgies). Must say they're nice and comfortable.
 
Another young firefighter was lost overnight when a fire generated tornado flipped their fire truck. dangerous conditions at Mallacoota in Gippsland have forced some residents to take to the water to avoid the flames. Again properties have been lost.
We have just had a heavy rain shower this morning in Nambour. At least it has cleared the air. Ron.
 
Wow, Ron, rain! That sounds like it might be as rare as gold dust falling from the sky. Really drab outside, but not raining. I heard about the fireman who lost his life. I'm sure this is going to be one of Australia's worst Spring/Summer on record. Stay safe, Ron.

So, how many of us are off out for the knees up and bun fight tonight? I'll watch fireworks on the BBC lol. I mean that's if i'm awake.
 
It was a pretty terrible day in the southern states two possibly three dead in NSW. Five unaccounted for in Victoria. NSW is on fire from 150 kliks south of Sydney to the Vic border. Homes are being lost all over. People who left it too late to evacuate have taken to the beaches and water in boats to escape the fires. Across the border at Mallacoota They said that thousands of people had taken to the water and beaches . They could hear loud explosions coming from the town ,believed to be lpg tanks going off. The Victorian govt has asked the federal govt to send in choppers and ships to evacuate those trapped on beaches and boats. Most have no supplies. Not a great new years eve. Ron.
 
It doesn't feel right wishing you a Happy New Year Ron,but I do.....The fires are so tragic there's nothing to say that will make it better.
Very best to all of you in 2020,and Di,. no I'm not having a knees up as the paramedics will be busy enough without me adding to their quota.But Oh,those were the days...…..
 
5c. clear blue sky and sunshine...….A workmate of Scott has been stranded at a remote roadhouse in Norseman with his road train, since before xmas.He was just too late before the road was closed. He's still getting his salary though,bless him, BUT there are 250 folk also stranded and they've run out of toilet paper and beer !!!

A really drab new years day here. mild though and i appreciate that, my bones do too. I look forward to the day we hear that the fires in Aus are all contained. At the moment that doesn't look like happening.

Would love to see that snow falling down in Canada. sounds so Christmassy. Mind, that's all over tomorrow. Looking forwards to September when they start this Festive stuff all over again. Must say i feel for kids these days having to wait 3 months of the year all excited for Xmas, the novelty wears off. Next for me to look forwards to is the spring flowers and slightly lighter evenings.

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE. MAY 2020 BE HEALTHY FOR ALL OF US.
 
Bad conditions returning to southern NSW and Victoria for Friday and Saturday. Assessment teams are unable to enter a lot of areas with roads closed by fallen trees. What they have confirmed in southern NSW since new years eve is that 382 homes have been lost and seven people have been killed. In Victoria with almost no assessments possible , over fifty homes have been lost and one person dead. Several people are un accounted for. As people are trying to leave the fire areas before the next round, fuel and food shortages are causing major problems(not the wisest thing to do ,driving fuel tankers thru what has been happening.) for those with fuel the roads are very slow with regular grid lock. A navy ship has reached Mallacoota and is evacuating stranded people. It will be weeks before there will be road access to Mallacoota. Catastrophic fire warnings and extreme temps in the goldfield and sw coast of WA. Fires burning out of control around Perth. Fires and Heat in SA. A large fire burning out of control in northern Tasmania. Fires still burning in QLD. Canberra this morning recorded the worst air quality of any city in the world with smoke pollution 28 time safe levels. Many areas in NSW and Vic have no power , no communications (mobile or landline) . The only comm is by sat phone. Food and safe water are running out(no fresh food or water due to no power) tinned food and bottled water are the only options. No rain in sight. Ron.
 
Thanks Mack, I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. We will never know how much wildlife has been destroyed. Ron.
 
-4C Very mild for the time of year. I took a day off from cleaning up from the previous snowfall, today I will use the snow rake to clear one of my sheds. Going slow and easy, it doesn't take much to make my heart pound and then I have to rest. Chris, its going to be your turn to dig out, and it sounds like more than we received.
