Groton CT here - we got at least 20 inches. I think I could dig a tunnel for the dogs.

I think that also makes the cactus an “irritating prick”.

When the snow and wind were at their fiercest, I saw a lone robin on a bush near a window.

Good morning
I have one tool that I love because it's super sharp. For the life of me, I just can't sharpening the others so they are as crisp as that one. I'd love the use the variety of blades but..
So.. Can someone help me figure out how to sharpen those tools so they CUT when I look at them. *giggle*
Yes, I have a Slip and Slop. I must not be using it correctly.

On the countdown widget, the part to delete or edit a countdown has disappeared. Does anyone else have this issue?

Yes we have nearly 3 feet in Plainville, My house is in a wind tunnel and I have 2 five foot plus drifts in my yard and on my deck. I probably won't see my deck floor till spring. This makes a challenge to feed the birds.
YAH lucky me.🎵😍 Time to take one of these✈️!!!!!!

We “only” ended up with 18.7” in my town (plus drifts). I feel for you folks who are south of me—you really got whacked! 😢
Looks like we’re getting 1-3” tomorrow and another 1-3” late Thursday. Not sure where the new snow will go! 😯

We second that! Schmidty and McSchmidty loved the event and all that went with it! We loved hiking at the state park, the Bingo was great too. We also attended the escape room organized by Kurious Jo.
Thanks Wisconsin Hiker & Martini man!

Here in Sebago (about 30 miles west of Portland) we only got about an inch. The wind did blow quite a bit. Portland was still "digging out" this morning with about 6-7." More predicted for tomorrow and Friday!!

I'm not great at sharpening but I use the above method and it surely helps.

As the newbie everyone was so welcoming and helpful! I appreciate the detailed and awesome bingo night, and the full day of letterboxing in the state park. It was great to join a crew and get all the stamps! Excellent event by Wisconsin Hiker and Martini Man! Thank you! ❤️

Thank you. I'll give it a try again and see what happens. Looks like I wasn't using the compound enough. Hmmm

Note: Phoenix Rizing (with a Z) is the one who sharpens blades .... the S person is someone else .... ;)
