(17,997 posts)We're supposed to get some snow, but not much, thankfully. Even better, coming off of two days with intermittent -20 and-30 below windchill, we're going to have a high of 32 today! Yay! A heat wave! Only going to last a day but I'll take it.
Stay warm and safe

(32,975 posts)maybe around 9, I'll go dig out the fire hydrant next door (please mistress /master of the universe may no one need this amen). I gotta thing about clearing a path for the mail carrier....she/he works hard enough, no extra grief from me, then the sidewalk, then a place for the princess peanut, then the driveway I will do this in stages, I'm too aware of the risks to try to do this in one pass. Big bottle of ibuprofen and I think I'll make a pot of meatball veggie soup first. Yeah winter!

(17,997 posts)A friend of mine, way back when we were in our 20s, was shoveling and it collapsed her lung. She almost died, lying out there in the cold, unable to breathe. I think a neighbor saw her and called 911. She was a healthy 20 something that exercised regularly. So yeah, be careful. Hope it stops soon.

(32,975 posts)sounds silly till you watch a fire crew digging desperately to find one so they can fight a fire. The guy next door to me is 90, he can't do it so I will.
