Not current but interesting to see what elevated roads were like

Helena went back to her reporter days there. Hope she's elected mayor.

It was. (New build in Covington)
Not as large as a Winn Dixie footprint, but large enough. Stays busy.

Maybe that’s why it’s my least favorite of the 4 (I think) ones I’ve been to down here
I like when they’re like hermit crabs just moving into whatever shell is available

My favorite was the first I went to in Chattanooga- it had more clearly branded German stuff
Not sure if that was a previous business model or just that Chatta has lots of Germans there

Where? (As mentioned, I like to take note of all of them)

Sat morning and still have patches in front lawn. Roof facing north still has some snow left as well.

I was happy to see a little satsuma-sized patch still on my front lawn. Of the areas not in shadow, that's it.

The houses across the street from us still have enough snow to do small snowmen and stuff. It "iced up" overnight, though -- harder to work with in your hands.

Noodling around on Maps it seems interstate is still not open

Today it will be close to full sun and high reaching the high 50s in the NOLA metro area. Overnight lows in the mid.40s.

Tomorrow, slightly cloudier but still a bright day, with both the highs and lows about 10 degrees warmer.

Monday, still highs in the 60s with morning rain. That really, really should finish off the ice on the major roadways.

EDIT: I take it you didn't make it to Natchitoches?

Nope
I spent about an hour drinking around the East and could never find access to 11 - there was some ?? On Chef after the 310 bypass

Good to know. Thanks for the tip. Been looking for a new locale with less digging required.

Half of our backyard is still well covered as it doesn't really get full sun.

Same, part of my backyard receives no sun this time of year. I think it's going to take the monday rain to
finish it off.

I'll add it to my list.

At the top of my above-mentioned list are 3 unused family burial plots. Gma and Gpa bought 2 extras for my uncle and father. Uncle lives in NYC and aunt has said over her dead body is he getting buried in Pennsylvania. That's one extra. Daddy wanted his own for him and mom and bought his own 2 plots in the same cemetery. So that's 2. Mom wanted to be cremated, not buried, so she's on top of daddy's plot and hers is unused so that's 3.

Now, the problem is, as you say, the digging. Also that they're 1,200 miles away from where I live which poses a logistical problem.

Yes, I have given thought to this before.

1200 miles sure, but it's mostly downhill, right?
