It's all white here! I do hate snow!
Jane

Here in North New Jersey, we haven't seen a flake of snow. My son, down the parkway an hour has over a foot of snow. NJ is a long state and lately most of the snow has stayed from the middle to the very south. Atlantic City is getting lots of snow.

Nancy, we're more than willing to share. Here in Central Maryland we already have 20" with up to 10" more to come.

I'm hoping for lots of pictures of the deep snowfall. I love snow, but I see it only in photos. No shoveling or clean-up required. No scraping icy windshields or navigating slick roads. I do miss it though. I know some of you would gladly send me your snow.

Here in Michigan, we didn't get any more snow at all, but it's really windy and cold. Today we have the bluest, prettiest sky I've seen in a long time.

We have 12" for you Nancy! Phil took one picture, but I wasn't able to download it. Think the camera needs new batteries.
Jane

Somebody on my GPSA site offered a picture of her yard several days after the snowfall, piles of dog poop showing through and contrasting with the green of the fake salt her city uses to melt snow. That gave a touch of reality for me. I do remember the black slush of a few days after. Six years in St. Louis gave me a taste of real winter, even if it didn't last as long as Chicago or Milwaukee. My souvenir of St. Louis is a broken ankle from slipping on an icy parking lot. Be careful out there!

Hi Debi--

Hope you're having a great birthday!

Cathy

Hi, all. Well, we never even saw one snowflake in Northern NJ. It was all south of us. At least we didn't have to worry about shoveling.

Debi has posted some reduced prices and more salts on my "sell" site.

Hope you all are safe and warm today. Enjoy the SuperBowl.

Hi: I guess no one got to the auction in Camp Hill. I emailed them to make sure they had it, and it was not postponed. They said they did have it, and it went quite well.
Jane

I sent in an absentee bid on six different salts and won five of them. The people were quite helpful and had sent me much larger pictures so I could see what the items were.

Debi

We are supposed to get up to a foot of snow between Tuesday and Wednesday. Certainly not unexpected for this time year around here, so no big deal.

(Thank you, Cathy.)

Debi

Congratulations for your auction success, Debi. I wonder if bad weather held bids down.
Nancy V

Until I get the salts I won't know if I got any bargains or not. Hard to tell from the pictures what anything really is. I got 5 salts for just over $90 including the 10% premium, 3% credit card use, and sales tax. Shipping will be about another $20. When I get them, I'll share through pictures.

Debi

Jim and I were there.....and had to come home in that snowstorm on Friday...roads were very hazardous. Debi, now I know who the absentee bidder was !!!! And yes....we bought almost the entire collection...

Good morning, everyone! I must correct a serious error on my part in the OSCAR newsletter that just "hit the airwaves". I neglected to thank and give proper credit to Fay Crossley and Al Diamond for all of their wonderful photos. Without those, the newsletter wouldn't be nearly as appealing to the eye. So thank you, gentlemen!!
