Snow

Here are some photos from Wednesday morning. They are predicting another foot on Friday. The first is from 10th St. in front of our house. We have enjoyed the winter so far, but we haven't gotten much use from our front yard bench. The potted camellia has been incredibly hardy. We just shake off the snow, and the blossoms come back.

Great pictures. I waited for the sun to shine on Sunday so I didn't have to shovel as much snow. Are you getting tired of shoveling yet? Get ready for another one this weekend.

Thanks for the pics Jeff. We've had some snow but not enough to go skiing or anything. We've also had some pretty cold days with night down to 0. Some said that it was the mid-Atlantic and not us, that was going to get hit this weekend. Get ready to shake the snow off the blooms.

And the weekend update? over 2 feet of snow? Wish we were there with our skis!

The winter scenes from your yard and nearby streets are certainly beautiful, but I imagine it must be a burden to you when you have to get out and around. I find it interesting to see you post on February 4th that you haven't minded the winter so far. We come back for a report in March.

It's over, Kev! Almost all of the snow is gone. And at least in Pittsburgh there was not any significant flooding in spite of the snowpack and the days of rain. Spring is just around the corner! :-)

Family Contacts

 Carey called me and asked if I could find the listing of contacts for our family that he created years ago.  I did have a file copy and Carey and I updated it.  I have attached this here in Word and Pages that can be edited for new entries and updates.  There is also a PDF copy.  I added sections for Aunts & Uncles and Cousins.  These sections are missing people and dates, but perhaps I can work with Kristin to fill in some of this.

 When watching the evening news today, I saw an image of coal barges lined up at the docks at the USS Mon Valley Steel Plant.  Of course the news segment was about the White House blocking the sale of USS to Nippon Steel.  My mind wandered to to dad's career at the Robena Prep Plant.  I didn't think that it was still in operation but I searched for more information.  I found that the Robena deep mines closed in 1983, but plant continued to operate until 2017 processing coal from surface mining for Consol Mining.  It seems that reclamation of the site began many years before 2017, most likely mandated by local concerns about environmental damage from seepage from the three large slurry ponds and other surface contamination.  Dad took me out one Sunday afternoon to inspect the dikes and berms around the ponds.  We had to hop into one of the big company trucks to traverse the dirt roads around the site. I read a couple of articles about the ongoing l...
