Green Grin! Arlyn!

I got over the 'little' factor long ago; about the only problem with it is that everybody expects us to go into those little crooks and crannies that nobody else can get into, like the little bitty crawl space beneath my house when there's the possibility of a leak.

But I'd for sure get lost in 3 feet of snow.

What a mess. Just heard on the news that already 20 inches snow on the ground in Suffolk County. Our major East to West road the Long Island Expressway is closed in Suffolk. Don't know exactly how much is on the ground here but more snow on the north shore of Long Island, which is where I am, than on the south shore. And the snow is still to continue all night long.

Lucy, very good that your power stayed on. Mine did also. Looks to be about 18 inches here. The news is showing pictures all around and it is quite a sight. Don't know when we have ever seen so much snow.

We evidently did lose some power overnight, blinking stove light said so. John has cleared the car, but the person who plows the driveway has not had a chance to come around. Traffic allowed agin after 4pm, but people are not going to hurry out. Very smart!

Back up the thread there was a ref. to height and weight ratio.
If those charts are right and reading in reverse,I should be around 8 feet tall.

Polly I used to be 5'7 as I grew older I shrank I think it was 5'5"
the last visit.

I am so glad a few extra pounds is acceptable now days.
New Jersy gov. might be the posterchild for O K Obesity.
