This thread is causing me some real serious issues. I love where I live. But, my Seasonal Affective Disorder becomes hyperactive this time of year when I read about warm weather and I see pictures of beautiful fish being caught.

These pictures were taken about 15 minutes ago:

My fish cleaning board -- with about 3 to 4 inches of snow on it.


My pond -- about 50-feet beyond the biggest snowflake.


As I write this, the front bumper of my wife's 4WD vehicle is thankfully resting (unfortunately downhill) at about a 12% grade against a tree stump -- where it went off our driveway -- where it didn't go over our bridge -- and where it didn't go into the creek. I'll pull the car out in the morning with the tractor, after I plow more snow. I plowed about 4-inches of snow off the driveway tonight, but it just keeps falling.

I'd really love it if I didn't have to go to work in the morning where they only got rain, and it is 20 degrees warmer. (They just don't understand!)

Like young Mr. Steelman, I may try kayaking tomorrow -- but, I'll be using my kayak to sled down the mountain to my pond! I doubt I'll do much fishing.

From the top of the mountain, our groundhog created nearly a 1/4-mile long shadow this morning. I think that means winter will last until Mother's day.

Send ZOLOFT. Lots of ZOLOFT. Moonshine will do if that is all you have.
