As irritating as it can be at times, I like Missouri, where we get all four seasons, sometimes in the same weekend . . .
Kinda like that here Two Bit..10 miles away they only got 10 inches. Get over the border into Mt..they only got 3 inches. I am only 10 miles from Montana with a high valley pass next to the Pryor Mountains. left here the other day to go to Billings to see the doctari..snow/ice covered roads from a previous storm and 20 degrees. Got to Bridger Mt(35 mi) and it was 2 below..Snowing lightly in Billings all day and zero. We did all of momma's shopping done and came home. From Bridger south the roads were clear and the temps were below zero here at home...again. Started snowing and we ended up with another 2 ft. As far as Jackson Hole..first time I was there it was a nice but sleepy little town(late 60's) when I came back from S E Asia the first time. Last time I was there we went out to see my sister about 3 years ago. She was living over in Pinedale. That town had turned all yuppie...and nothing like most places here in Wy. Whole buncha Kalipornia people . Course Cody is gettin the same way.. That idiot Simpson and the mayor of Cody finally got barely enough votes to raise the sales tax in Park county from 4% to 5%...with the idea that the touristas will be paying that extra tax...duh!Yeah, amazing distribution from the storm. Lander, 30 miles north, got nothing!
That's a shame about Ellicott City. It was a sweet little town in the early 70s. Guess that's what happens to sweet little towns -- look at Jackson Hole. Disgraceful.
Well here in N.W. Indiana aint got no snow ,but we have had ICE on the ground since Monday and every night we get another fresh covering of drizzle and freeze . It's so bad my prancing Collie is waiting each time he go's out to have his paw anti slip chains put on so he can make it back to the house.,He sure looks strange walking stiff legged to keep from slipping.
...would have loved to see some pictures with it.

Are you sure not the same day???
You are where the warm wet air meets cold dryer and then the game begins throughout the year!!! But a beautiful area in the rural!
I hear ya'. I grew up in Fremont County so we were in Jackson a couple times a year when I was a kid. I loved the place: the true West. I drove by Teton Village last year for the first time since January '70. You'd think they'd held the Olympics there; nothing but condos as tall and as far as you could see. Absolutely destroyed what was. I'll hang on to my memories from the 50s and 60s and try to get short-term amnesia.
Yeah, I love Cody, but....
Greed is what drives those "tax the tourists" types, like that ninny from Jackson several years ago who proposed a 10% statewide lodging tax. About 40% of the hotel, motel, and B&B trade in Fremont County comes from Wyomingites. Wyomingites ain't tourists anywhere in Wyoming ('cept maybe in Jackson, and not many of us go there! I was only there for a doc's appointment) so we're gouging our own. I could write a book.
Trying to book a trip to a nice horse ranch this summer in Wyoming. I just found out how much more expensive It would be than my ranch trip to Arizona was. The extra taxes were also a wake up call. Really would like to see Wyoming and Yellowstone once in my lifetime but not sure i can swing it.
We might try Montana to see if its more affordable.
