Cabin fever is rampant in Nebraska



Here's what's happening in my neck of the woods. The kids still haven't gone back to school since Christmas break because of blizzard conditions, winter storm warnings and 20 below temperatures.

Streets are plowed, but there's nowhere for all the snow to go. Parking lots are filled with snow - good luck parking to get groceries - and should you park, I dare you to tackle pushing a grocery cart to your car.

Most businesses can't afford to pay for bobcats to load snow into dump trucks and carry it away, so...

But daughter Kristin works for a snow removal (and lawn care) company and they are smiling all the way to the bank.

Cabin fever is rampant in Nebraska.

  3. Gee, we had 1/2 inch and the closed the schools here on Thursday and Friday. Just the mention of the possibility of snow is enough to shut everything down here in TN. Wonder what we'd do if we actually had an accumulation.
