92. My wife is a nurse and we live too close to her work

Sun Jan 5, 2014, 07:32 AM

Jan 2014

so when it snows there'll be call-ins so she'll have to go work to top it all off.
Before I was a married man I used to love the snow, couldn't wait to get out in it but as I age and with kids and wife to worry with I no longer like it a bit. Like where your mother lives most times our snows are only here for a few days at most, sometimes it'll snow at night and by evening the next day it'll be gone. Don't think thats going to happen this time though as it looks like the cold will be with us a few days at least.

I think your mother is in for more of this snow than we are. Hope she stays in a stays safe and warm.
