  About 35 miles north of Buffalo. Been snowing here most of the day too. I did get out about 7 this morning before it started and picked up all the tree branches the wind blew down yesterday.

Come on down to Texas....heck, we can't shoot here because of the smoke from all the fires!  Not only that, but it is in the 80's right now and supposed to be 90's tomorrow and possibly all week!   8)  Every summer I vow to move to a cooler climate, but after 70 years, guess I'm rooted now and would have to be dug up like an ole' mesquite tree!!   ::)

So far nobody is reporting here that they got done in, but if they did how would we know?
Here in WI they are predicting 3-5" snow through tomorrow. Guess I better get the range shovel back out.........

 crazy weather here in utah rain snows now we are having a lot of flooding we got a lot of snow in the high country left going to get worse raining now.but didn't need to shovel snow only twice. i go shoot at an indoor range once every couple of weeks to keep from being board. don't like indoor ranges much but its cheaper than going way out on the desert.

Here on Da U.P. we had better weather a month ago.  Now it's been snow, rain, freezing rain and always wind.  Yesterday I had a poor robin trying to find something under the snow and ice.

As of 5:31 AM it is 77 degrees here in San Angelo,Texas. The high Temp yesterday was 101 and hotter today.
As of early this morning the fire around us has consumed 215 square miles (137975 acres) and still burning!
 A snow storm would be real nice  here. The fire came within 2 miles of my place. Not a good feeling watching flames hundreds of feet  in the air coming to your home.
Please pray for rain in West Texas.

In S.E. Ohio we had bluebird weather yesterday and the day before.  Woke up at 4:00 this morning to thunder, lightning flashes lighting up the bedroom and pouring rain.  One clap of thunder was simultaneous with the lightning flash and about shook the windows in.  Around 7:00 it changed to just rain, it's still raining.  I believe we will have some flooding over the road before the day is done!

Spend 2-1/2 month in AZ. On our way home to Canada we ran into an 8" snow storm from Butte to Great Falls Montana. Now back home in Canada it snowed more than 16" in
two weeks. I know I need exerzise but not snow shoveling nearly every day. I need to get my income tax in by the end of April otherwise I still be in Yuma. 14F this morning.

Not only that but we have a Fed. election again, and you have to listen to all the diatribe of
the no good politicians.
