    Yup, this one may be the biggest pain in the azz. So slow moving there will be numerous car cleanings, walk shovelings, snow blowings......:mad:

    Any heavy wind predicted in this event Ray? I don't mind the snow too much, but moving it in the winds is just plain ridiculous. It is getting old. A few more weeks and we will turn the corner and get some warmth, I hope.

    I try not to watch the weather hype until just before the storm. Just give me what I need to know.

    My old trusty snowblower ran and started fine last time so I should be OK.. Will bring in firewood before the snow hits the fan..

    I have to dig some wood out of the pile. Wind-driven snow encased it all.:mad:

    My friend reports older, heavier sleds are having trouble getting stuck in deeper snow if they are not on a packed trail. Newer, lighter sleds with higher horsepower and taller paddles are getting through ok.

    C'mon up here Scotty, the groomer just went past the house here about a half hour ago. Lots of traffic movin on the trails here this a.m. We got another couple of inches last night. Supposed to get another 6" by tomorrow night.

    On top of that, one U.S. Dollar is currently worth $1.21 Canadian.

    I wish we would get a little of that cold weather you guys back east are getting, this 55-60 degree thing in February is ridiculous! I haven't had the stove lit all week. I woke up to go to work the other day and it was 55 degrees at 5AM

    We have another 6-10 maybe 10-16 inches coming in, even though I plowed some trails to the wood, I might use the snowmobile with the cargo snow sled to bring the wood in.

    Our forecast started with 3-6" but now has dwindled to less than a half inch and a little bit of rain. The low tonight of 35 (presently 34) is the high for tomorrow with temperatures falling tomorrow. Then it is back to reality again with cold temperatures.

    My wife told me we were just upgraded to 14" to 20" of snow. I thought upgrades were something good.

    Exactly Ray. I am running out of places to put this crap. The snow banks in front of the house at the road are approaching 8' high where I throw the snow. A couple more feet and I can hang laundry off the lowest telephone wires on the poles out front. :whistle:
