[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 134806, member: 84"] I wish we were down to flurries. We still have snow. Heather, the boys are gonna learn a valuable lesson. Believe me. I was about 12 or 13 when we had a major blizzard hit in central Illinios. Two and a half feet of snow not counting the drifts. Mom was out of something or other. Having a major bout of cabin fever, I volunteer to walk the two (largish) blocks down the road to get the stuff for her. I get al bundled up....fleece lined coat, fur lined boots, gloves, hat, scarf. Two blocks. No hoo hoo. Trudging thru the snow was exhausting. I made it a half a block and needed to sit and rest. I wound up sitting in a drift. If I remember I had to sit 2 or 3 times each way. Took forever to get to the store. Once there the cashier wouldn't let me leave til she gave me a snack and a cup of cocoa. Then berated Mom for letting a child out in such weather. lol Of course, the windchill was also 30 below zero, which we didn't know til later. I NEVER volunteered to do that again. But I did have to walk 8 blocks in a later blizzard to get to work at the hospital because so few employees could make it in. I didn't leave until roads were clear enough to pick me up. lol I just checked weather bug, windchill is 5 degrees. Yep, he'll be freezing, exhausted, and wet. Odds are he's had his fill of such "adventures". [/QUOTE]
