Good evening gang.  I was offline all afternoon and I really missed being here.  I went to run some errands, drop our ballots by the election commission and get groceries and when I got home, the power went out and was out for about an hr. and I could not connect after that so Greg had to work his magic when he got home.  I made Cracker Barrel&#39;s hash brown casserole for dinner tonight - it was really good.  As with all recipes, I usually add something extra.  I put in a bit of garlic and sprinkled green onions on the top.  Next time I am going to add in some crumbled up bacon...didn&#39;t think of it until they were already cooked this time.  Greg is outside now, hooking his snow plow up to the ATV.  I don&#39;t think he will need it tomorrow morning as they are only calling for about an inch of snow, but he&#39;ll be ready when the big one does come.  I bought the stuff today so that Scotty and I can make Halloween cupcakes tomorrow afternoon, so I imagine I will be cleaning up a big mess afterward.<br /><br />Kevin, year before last, we had 3 back to back blizzards (we had snow over 4 ft. deep all over our yard) and had 63 straight days of measurable snow on the ground.  We did have a lot of snow last winter, but at least we had some breaks in between.  I hate it because I do not drive if it is bad out so I am stuck at home for days on end.  I hope it doesn&#39;t get too bad tomorrow as I am supposed to pick Scotty up at school.  If it is, his dad will have to take an hr. off work and go get him and bring him to me and then go back to work.  Did you guys get the heavy rain down south today?  We had lots of rain and thunder...
