    Looks like the forecast has been changed to snow all night, 34 in the AM (in Kingston, so maybe still snow here at that point?) then maybe rain most of the day and flurries again late afternoon and night??? Fabulous weather. I wish it would just get to below freezing and stay there. Find this 90% humidity. 50* 9* seesaw very uncomfortable....I can dress for cold.

    New plan.. Just took the big trailer down with the tractor and will leave there till full, which will save a whack of driving on the 4 wheeler and little trailer.Will take the camera in a bit.:yes:
