It’s been raining pitchforks and naked babies here for days, and all of it is heading East into all of that cold air.

I heard right before Thanksgiving that the Teton Mountains already had 100 inches of base snowfall. This will be a good winter for recharging a whole bunch of watersheds.

The myth of “global warming” strikes again. It’s abundantly clear that those pushing this junk “science” have an anti-American agenda.

It’s deadly outside here in Iowa tonight. One of the wickedest blizzards we’ve seen in awhile.

We live in the Twin cities area in ‘91 when that big blizzard went through on Halloween. The next morning there was about four to five feet of drifted snow in my driveway.
It was no problem for the eight horse snow blower we owned at the time. The driveway was cleared in an hour but when I got to the street, only the snow mobiles were out and about.
