And I suppose you'd been planning to send all of that our way, huh? I have a better idea. Send it to Canada. They like it.

I saw it on the Internet. It MUST be true...

Yes we have over 2 inches in Cornville, AZ more is falling. At lease they staged snow plows at different locations including just road graders in Sedona. I didn't sign up for shoveling snow. Just tried that and 5 minutes later it was covered again. It will just have to get deeper.

They are saying we might get between 27-36 inches.  Already have about 3.

Lin, Nope, turns out we couldn't afford to do what we wanted to do and had already sold the bus and 3 vehicles so we came back up to Strawberry, where we living when we bought the bus, and bought a house.  2+ft. of snow so far and hasn't let up a bit.

The snow continues until the steel and aluminium tariffs come off...

We also have heat, plague, locusts fire and flood available.

Happy coaching!
