(72,300 posts)I watched our maintenance crew pass over the street with a front-end loader scraping the road six times but it isn't clear. It's a mess out there.
Just after dawn this morning, as I sat watching Lefty (the 3 footed squirrel) eating dried corn kernels, I remembered my first winters living up here ... I enjoyed sledding a hill nearby.

The spiked hot chocolate seem to give me a stronger buzz than the same amount of spirits. Perhaps the sugar and heat helps it into my blood.
I also make it with half coffee and half chocolate.
