I wonder how hard it is to work with...you know, it seems like it would be sort of stiff. But people are doing it so I guess it's not impossible. <br /><br />And sure. Of course, it wouldn't make sense to spend a lot of money on snow removal equipment in places that don't have to deal with it all the time. Just like the rare week here where temps stay in the 90s and kids/teachers about die in the schools because they aren't air-conditioned. Gotta use that money where it makes the most sense, right?Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240481481686573344.post-86347820962641031372010-02-07T10:38:30.659-05:002010-02-07T10:38:30.659-05:00Debi,

As for snow, since we get this much only rarely, our public works people don't have the same level of equipment that yours do; hence, it takes longer to get ready and, then, recover.Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551547836073871713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240481481686573344.post-63998896081495648092010-02-07T09:04:00.466-05:002010-02-07T09:04:00.466-05:00Newspaper yarn...wow...I never heard of that.

Wonder if you can find directions somewhere else. <br /><br />LOL...what a difference one's "norm" can make. Nothing would ever be closed here over 15" of snow...and once winter's started all snow is on top of inches of snow already on the ground. But then, I'll bet Charlottesville doesn't put up freeze warning signs all over town when the temps are forecasted to drop below freezing...yes, they seriously did that in Memphis!Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240481481686573344.post-47372965512847152062010-02-06T19:52:41.266-05:002010-02-06T19:52:41.266-05:00Debi,

Lots of stuff will still be canceled or closed tomorrow, but we should be back to normal Monday in time for Tuesday's snow or "wintry mix." <br /><br />"Plarn" is what the book calls it. They also have a picture frame knitted out of newspaper; unfortunately, they don't give instructions for making the newspaper "yarn" but rather tell you where to buy it. I wanna make my own!!!!!<br /><br />JeanJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00551547836073871713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240481481686573344.post-83223922741727585672010-02-06T19:33:11.095-05:002010-02-06T19:33:11.095-05:00So how much snow did you get this time?

I hope it brings in a pile of dough. <br /><br />And I have to admit I laughed out loud at your crocheting project...I haven't crocheted plastic bags in many a year. I never heard it called plarn before. :)Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15429881953804634592noreply@blogger.com
