HEY NEW YEAR'S 2009

Ball Drop

HOW ARE YOU DOING WITH MAKING YOUR




NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS?

We haven't had any terrible storms ... just
some terrible weather. It normally snows a bit every day, just to
freshen up ... but ... this winter, it is often several inches at a
time ... just enough to have to plow again. On the CLICK HERE: Marquette T.V. station,
they announced that they are anticipating the 21st straight day of
snow. This is a wonderful website; it's a great source of U. P.
information.


We've had several days of "warm" (high 30's)
weather ... not the freezing rain/thawing predicted. My
family members in Wisconsin & Lower Michigan got that ... &
lots of thawing.

I made a trip to Crystal Falls for several errands ... plus down to
Alpha &+ was pleasantly surprised to find out that I could buy some
deer-corn at the new General Store in Alpha at a reasonable price, plus
save myself 20 miles of driving.

For snow removal on the main street of Crystal Falls ... the procedure
is to first move the snow into a big windrow down the center of the
street. Then, in the next few days, when there is more time &
available equipment ... they scoop this snow from the middle of the
street into dump trucks.

Reading
I did go to the Library ... resuming my winter reading project of going thru the many books on history of the Upper Peninsula.

Happy New Year Lois. Hope all is well with you.

My New Year resolution is to lose weight.. same resolution I make every year. At the end of the year I am always a few pounds heavier. My life is a constant unsuccessful diet.

Winter seems like it's been here forever.
