WOW.....talk about the hot old west, and that snow joke!!! Here in the mountains of East Tennessee, took my granddaughter to Dollywood Saturday evening, though only 5 1/2, she loves the Christmas musicals..It had rained earlier, but was clear and 70 at 5:45. However, it cooled off clear down to 58 when we left at 9:30pm!!! O'course it was only 19 degrees at my place in Alaska, but NO snow.
Rex, I remember the 'blizzard' of 1960.. there must have been 5 or 6 inches of snow. Helped my little brother build a snowman in the front yard. It started leaning over, so I drove a piece of 1 inch pipe down through it into the ground. That evening, a couple of my hooligan friends drove by and thought it would be fun to knock it down. One of them jumped out and threw a tackle on it. The next day it was leaning a little more but still up, and the tackler was complaining of a sore neck and shoulder!
The big thing then, none of my folks cars would ever start when it got cold, even when you poured a kettle of boiling water on the intake manifold! Later, living in Alaska I learned that original equipment batteries don't last forever, and you have to buy one once in awhile.
Well, merry shoveling to all, and a happy new year!
Mack, if you can't get them out, there are several recipes from Jeffery Dahmer's cookbook that are easy, Sloppy Joe, beans and Frank, etc.
