    I agree Wild Bill, if it’s gonna be this cold; we need something to show for it at least… I went out the other morning and our swimming pool was frozen solid on top, actually frozen so much that I sat my hot coffee cup on top and took a photo, and it didn’t even fall through… (lol)

    After dealing with all this cold weather, the least Mother Nature could do is give us a little snow to play in. Come on Mother Nature, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow………..
