    10 deg here this morn. Gotta snowblow my moms car out, then roof rake my dads place then try and shovel out the jobsite. We just had 22" in last weeks blizzard and another 12" yesterday, lots of time getting taken up with snow in the last 2 weeks. Time for a warm vacation

    The routine is beginning to feel routine. Last week I lost 2 days on the snow just falling then a day to clean up. Yesterday was the same thing and cleanup is today. I'm just pizzy because I'm making no money with all the snow.

    I couldn't really tell how much snow we got yesterday because it was blown around so much. The wind was nasty cold yesterday here. When I plowed out last night after work there was 5 inches in some places and 12 inches in other places. I think we ended up with about 7 -8 inches maybe. Very light stuff!

    Look at it this way, the faster you get it cleaned up, the faster you can get back to work and make some $. No matter what, not making $ just plain sucks.
    Anyone help you do the jobsite?

    About the same here. Spend 2 1/2 hours snowblowing and shoveling yesterday, woke up to 6 more inches this morning at 5F and had to go out and do it all again. Spent an hour to get the driveways open but now I dont have enough time before my morning meetings start to drive in so it will be another WFH day. I feel for you guys that have to go in no matter what.

    At least the kids are back to school.

    This afternoon I probably have another hour or more of work to do to get the mailbox cleared out and shovel the drifts away from the house.

    The snow really makes a lot of work. I wonder if this year will be like last year when the cold stuck around for the month of March. It was just like we were a month behind normal. Fall was very mild this season. A month behind again?

    Rotti, it wasn't quite that cold here last night. -10f when I shut the boob toob off and -5f this a.m. when I turned it back on. Must've had a heat wave during the night....
    I hear ya about the bugs though. Bring some "winter weight" bug dope with you today on your bus runs.
    Hope you're not letting the passengers get to ya!!

    A clear and cool 36, no rain, no snow and that's okay by me.

    This past November was much cooler than normal, only reason I remember is I was digging into the shoulder stacks more than normal.
    I might have to take a peek at the farmers almanac for March, we got 3' of snow to melt, gonna be mudsville here this spring

    Right where I want to be.
    I never took a test, and people tell me I cause trouble all the time.
    Or, is this something different?
    Just kiddin'.
    Glad you passed the testing. Will you get a promotion/raise for your trouble?
