So you're not allowed upstairs when the wife's home unless you're building snow forts or buying lunch.....got it!

You've got it figured out about as well as I do.

Regardless, she don't come in my basement. I brew my own beer and usually have 3-5 kegs on tap. I have a 10' x 8' projector screen with a HD projector, xbox, ps3 and pc hooked up. 5.1ch surround sound in a heavily insulated room.

On the other end of the basement I have my reloading "room" (area) and another computer over there for load spreadsheets/ looking up starting points.

Then I have the cleaning area for my brewing setup. Double basin laundry tub and a multitude of attachments, old dishwasher for bottle sanitization, bottle racks for drying, cork press, cappers, etc.

I love my basement. it's the full size of the house, and it's all mine.

I'd say we have 4 to 5 in south Lake County, shoveled a path for the dogs and I doubt we got 6" (yet) but its still falling.

Our school system (Lowell/Tri-Creek) called a 2 hour delay, ditto Hanover and Crown Point. As did a few others. Looks like Lake Central Schools is closed for the day, that is the only school closing of which I am currently aware.

Need one ... or two.

Those are an awesome concept. Hide in plane sight.

I had a pretty good night bowling.

Missed a few. Should have had a few more beers. Do you use full length gutter bumpers or just the short ones that start about 1/2 way down the lane?

Wow, a positive response to a self defense shooting. And at a school. Who'd have thought???

The 834 is my high series now. Beat the 814 I bowled when I was much younger.

Geez. I am so tired of the media b;owing stuff out of proportion. You would think we had gotten 20+ inches of snow they way they are covering this.

5 inches is an "impressive" amount. Really?

Guessing the reporter's wife is impressed with 5"

Quote from the article
"I don't think it's such a great idea. I mean, school's supposed to be a safe place," said student Michael Grayson.

Well if it is such a safe place then how much someone was getting the beat down.

 

[gunbunnies]

No place is safe Jedi..... just saying....

well I don't think we got that much snow up here in Hammond it just looks like the wind picked up what we had and redistributed it... It is still snowing though... If someone would have put some salt on cline they probably wouldn't have those accidents all over it...

Anybody out in valpo or between griffith and valpo that can shed some light on road and snow conditions it would be appreciated....

In valpo now roads are crappy. Lots of drifting. I drove 49 this morning couldn't tell where the lanes were. Snow still lightly coming down and windy.

@gb
it's safe in heaven

as for the no salt its cause you did not pay enough in lake county taxes so they ran out of salt.
how many accidents on cline? this am at 4am it was empty just jedi and one other car.

I just heard that parts of I65 and the toll road are closed. I can check into it more.

Ok, INDOT page does not verify that. One lane of 80/94 WB is shut down.

While I was out on the tractor I was listening to WXRT and they announced that I65 had been closed for a short time, but was reopened.

Snow is pretty much done over here on the state line, very light flurries and some light blowing/drifting. Final tally, probably just over 6", but not by much.

From what I gathered quite a few of the school systems that were on 2 hour delays have shifted over to CLOSED for the day. Sister-in-law came out of the guest house to tell me that school was closed and I didn't need to clear the driveway. I continued as I had just looked at the weather radar 15 minutes earlier and it appeared the snow was close to finished. Then another 15 minutes later, wife came out, walked over to the guest house driveway to tell me to get off the tractor because school was closed. I don't always understand women. Don't we still need to clear the driveways regardless of if kids are in class or not? I continued on with my work. Got both of my drives done, did two neighbors that I help out too.

My real estate guy wants me to go up to Toronto with him to invest in some properties. I told him we can go IN THE SUMMER.

So far, the great snubbie shoot off is still on. 1 PM, or when you can get there. I think I'm going to try to leave a little early, to get lunch at Schoops nearby.
