Thank you very much and God bless you.
It’s all fun and games with 9” of snow, then the “wintry mix” begins. Things are going south quickly in the mid Ohio River Valley. I’m likely to get a foot total which is a ten year snow storm around here.

I am dedicated to keeping my husband’s beer fridge (a regular fridge in the garage) well-stocked with at least 6 different beers to choose from on any given day. Any given day. Call me Mrs. Claus.
(There’s also champagne and a couple bottles of wine out there at any point. It works for us.)
