Welcome back Gita. So pleased you decided to leave early. It is snowing hard now ... and it is very cold .... I expect very hazardous driving conditions ... most of the roadways will be very icy. I hope a kind neighbor will do the shoveling for you.

I found a site that provides info on bronchitis (a little scary) and 14 home remedies.

We are expecting over a foot of the white stuff .... but I do not have to do any shoveling ... I have a 22 yr old grandson living with me .... he is thrilled over all the forecoming snow ... hoping to make money clearing the snow of others.

I told him when the snow started to fall to move the snow thrower from the shed behind my detach garage to the garage and try to start it. He was not successful in starting it last winter. This summer my daughter's snificant other looked at it and found the only problem was no fuel. So he filled it with the prescribed mixture of gas and oil and after a few attemps got it started .... ran it for a bit ... boy did it smoke a lot a first ... he let it run until it stopped smoking and put it in the garage. I discovered it had a slow fuel leak and had grandson move it to the shed .... it is one with an electric start option. ... I did show grandson this morning where I placed the key to the snow thrower ... I sure hope he can get it started.

Radio just reported a lot of accidents in Newark, NJ area. And many roadways are sheets of ice. Thousands of flights canceled ... Eagles game in Philly postpone until Tue evening.

I took this picture about an hour ago. (view of back of house)
