Almost Enough Snow
Father and son sleds:
Here's Raymond having a good time:
Bob also did a little riding. Here he is heading outside:
Bob rode his snowmobile a short distance, but decided he would rather ride with me.
While the kids were in school and Cranky was at work, I went for a ride out on the trails. They were in somewhat bad condition, but I got to HAUL ASS across the pond near our house. I also cruised down to the lake, but it was very windy, resulting in drifting snow and bare ice spots, which is not all that fun. Especially when the temperature is -9 F with the wind chill factor.
In other news: Mary and I went to Atlanta this weekend to bring our guest dog, Toby, back home. Everyone was sad to see him go, but he was so happy to see his family again! We had a nice visit with our friends and got home in plenty of time for the Super Bowl...
This afternoon, Mary and I had a cooking lesson at King Arthur's Flour Company in Norwich Vermont. We made stromboli and apple crisp, as well as a tasty salad to bring home for dinner. The class was a Christmas gift from Cranky. We both had a fun time.
Busy, busy, busy! Now if I could just find a good snow dance...

You know, if you gotta have winter, you have to find a way to love it. Otherwise you just bitch about it and that's no fun!
Way to go Mom, zipping away in your snowmobile while the kids are at school!!
I want snow!!!
and I want stromboli!!!
Did it ever snow here when you lived in Atlanta????
what a great life you're leading.
yeharr
Was in Finland and it was -23C during the day.
OUCH! TOO DAMN COLD!
Colleen: It snowed once a year during our 6 years in Atlanta, usually about 3 inches tops and it melted by the end of the day. The great ice storm in Feb 2000 was notable, but we lost power for a couple of days and couldn't really get in the spirit.
BP: I like to leave out the bad stuff like the smoke filling the house this morning when I stoked up the woodstove. Looks like we have a problem with our chimney...
Daniel: That's too frickin' cold!
stromboli and apple crisp? and you did not invite me over? GRRRRRR *L*
We are way short of snow too. Arctic Cat and Polaris are having a tough time selling snow mobiles this year. Simplicity, TORO and Ariens have a huge inventory of snow blowers. Looks like a tough year to be in the snow business
I want to be a snowmobile family. That looks like so much fun.
