30. It's important because it connects us.

I love the political discourse here on DU but it is a community built on what makes us human...hence all of the forums and discussion groups from religion to weather to politics.

It blew like a banshee here in western MT all weekend. I didn’t bother shoveling until the wind stopped this morning and we had 3 foot drifts against every door! A 50 foot spruce fell on my neighbor’s house...it didn’t breach the interior of the house, thankfully but lots of other trees fell too and the arborists are BUSY! A huge pine fell in the yard across the street and took the power line down so all those folks across the street didn’t have power overnight...it was below zero without wind chill but everyone made it through ok. We were all in the street visiting about it this morning. I think the groundog that predicted an early spring is on crack.

I think it's wonderful! redwitch Feb 2019 #1
