Hammered!!

2006 is winding down in every way except the weather.....let it snow, let it snow, let it damn-it, enough is enough! Last week we received about 26" of snow here in the area popularly known as the "Palmer Divide", or Monument, Colorado. This week we are in the middle of yet another storm...we have gotten 12" so far and another 12" or so is still forecast to arrive before the weekend is over. I would be O.K. with all of this if we weren't trying to head out on Monday morning to visit our children in Texas. The streets might not be plowed in time to get out of here!! The other bitch I have is related to our 2 Golden Retrievers...it's kinda hard to Dukey when the snow is up above your rumpus!

This winter the Palmer Divide area has received record snowfall to date......great for the trees- we needed moisture.......not so great for those, like me, who hate shoveling snow!
