Events and Happenings.
Smoke on the horizon.

The old Windsor Antique Inn burns down.
Filling tankers on south Main.
At 2 degrees above zero one has to be careful afoot.
Saved by Culy from Winchester
The 2nd of back to back water main breaks, frost line 16 inches deep,
water tower at 3 feet of water, 10 degrees, wind chill -15.
The 1st we fixed during the 60 mph wind gusts and blowing snow "blizzard" 11pm previous night.
The tower was found to still be not filling and the surfacing of the 2nd leak at dawn was the reason.
Culy's fix on this 2nd break solved the tower filling problem.
Pulling onto the highway was a little hazardous this day.
It all started day before and intensified.
Sunny calm and peaceful before the storm.
Nice warmup and melt with little rain this time.
Roads, alleys, clear and arctic outerwear not needed.
The warmup begins...saw 47 at 1pm.

Waiting by the dinner bell for lunch to fly by.
Darkness brought fog as temps stayed steady with melting all night.












Before
After
The Wymans, husband and wife teaming up
One plowing the way, the other bringing the ambulance.
Not so great way to start the year.

Now this scares the @#! out of me.
A great time to hit the lottery tho.
A great way to start

O yes, the following morning started at 6 below zero and sunny.
