My countdown widget is functioning properly on my phone and desktop. What device are you using?

Thanks. I figured it out. I just have too many so I needed to make my view smaller.

Yes we have nearly 3 feet in Plainville, My house is in a wind tunnel and I have 2 five foot plus drifts in my yard and on my deck. I probably won't see my deck floor till spring. This makes a challenge to feed the birds.
YAH lucky me.🎵😍 Time to take one of these✈️!!!!!!

We “only” ended up with 18.7” in my town (plus drifts). I feel for you folks who are south of me—you really got whacked! 😢
Looks like we’re getting 1-3” tomorrow and another 1-3” late Thursday. Not sure where the new snow will go! 😯

We "only" ended up with 6". Plenty of drifting though.

We second that! Schmidty and McSchmidty loved the event and all that went with it! We loved hiking at the state park, the Bingo was great too. We also attended the escape room organized by Kurious Jo.
Thanks Wisconsin Hiker & Martini man!

Here in Sebago (about 30 miles west of Portland) we only got about an inch. The wind did blow quite a bit. Portland was still "digging out" this morning with about 6-7." More predicted for tomorrow and Friday!!

I'm not great at sharpening but I use the above method and it surely helps.

Icons

There really needs to be an icon for the LTCs/Postals/other (mail stuff). We don't have traditionals where we live, except the ones we have planted. For that reason, we make LTCs, Postals, Zines (Other) and anything fun and US Postal related. Our icon status never changes and it would be nice to be able to look forward to a surprise change to that icon.
Just sayin'. Lol

They do change in your grand tally of letterboxing-related THINGS you've done, but the three that are displayed [PFX numbers] reflect the base qualities and definition of the hobby.
All those other things are fun extras that have evolved over time but are just that ... added "related" things to keep people's creative juices flowing or give extra creative outlets.
I hear what you're saying about being in a box poor area .... it's a bummer for sure!

I think she’s referring to the ribbon icon on our profile. PFX do apply to everything and increase but the ribbon icon never changes unless you find traditionals!

Hello,

Thanks Frozen Flame Quest for sharing this!! I actually think I might use these for my travel postcards! I think I’m going to start getting too many LTC postcards to do something like this.

It’s great for me because then I can keep them with my LTC binders so when I need inspiration or am just feeling blue I can pull down a binder and flip through all the love. It really helps!!
