Happy New Year from one of the two armpits of America!

Hopefully 2019 will bring good things to us all.

Just read in the news that 2018 was one of the quietest tornado years on record.  Maybe God is happy that someone who follows his word is running the country?

Yeah, washington post had that tornado report claiming it was the first year of no deaths from Tornados.  I guess they missed the recent one in Taylorville, IL where several died a couple months ago.

Why wasn't it reported on I wonder?  I wasn't aware of it either. 

What would be the left's motive for keeping it quiet?

Guess those "city slickers" don't know nor care what happens in hooterville. Our weather up here in the northeast will pester the hell out of you but it won't kill you. Frank C.

Wish the best to all y'all and your families in 2019 !!  May each have a safe, healthy and prosperous year !   ;)

What would make my 2019 happier ??   A little less rain and drier/frozen ground conditions.  We've been dealing with this sloppy mess since late Oct. 2017   >:(

Pretty bad when it's to muddy to even cut brush.  As for logs... t'ain't happenin'   :(

last night I was trying to leave the adult beverage establishment. It is on the shore of Honeoye lake. the driveway is pretty long, slight uphill grade all blacktop. I start up the hill and immediately begin fish tailing. figure no biggie, I will just ride it out and have some fun. Halfway up I get the dreaded zing from the lost traction. I needed 4wd just to get out of the parking lot. Freaking ice storms are brutal.

I am really starting to want to put a hit out on mother nature. This weather is complete crap. Its winter. Give me snow!!!!!!

I lived in AZ for 10 years. I went to snow every chance I got. Sure would have loved to be out there during the latest storm that made the news out there.

You sure you ain't fell down and bumped your coco?  ;) ;D

I think my intense hatred for winter comes from dairy farming up here for many years.  There are sooooooooo many things that go wrong in the cold on a farm I could write a book about all the stories I have about it, from silos freezing up, but only on the north side so the silage inside creates a ramp eventually so high that the unloader can't climb it anymore to tractors being plugged in, inside the haymow with doors shut and cows under for heat, and starting right up in the morning but oil light not going out because the oil was frozen in the bottom of the pan!  I had to lie on my back under the pan with a heat gun for 10 minutes or so to thaw it out so it'd draw oil up the pickup!  Then every day after milking (2x a day) the cows would need letting in from the barnyard, so half the barn would freeze and you have 50 cows going crazy because they're really thirsty after milking and the watering buckets' buttons are all froze up, so at the end of chores morning and night you got to go along with a bucket of hot water and a cup to thaw them out.  Added 15 to 45 minutes to choretime twice a day.

How about broken barn cleaner chains because the paddles are frozen in the gutter?  And frozen manure spreaders that won't open the door to spread?  And huge frozen chunks of brewer's grain and haylage that needs breaking up before it can be used for TMR?  On and on it goes.

I think I hate winter because I very rarely ever got to play in it - it was always work - hard work - and it wasn't any fun.

Ahhhh, the not so good old days...  but it was kinda fun taking a trip down memory lane and remembering back when times were much simpler and there was a lot better "feel" to my home areas.
