    Chooch away, eh?

    There's this video on YouTube, and it just kind of snowballed. My wife even uses the term. It's not an air control , it's the"choocher valve"

    If Horkn is a Canadian it could be. It's one his ... I am merely a word poacher... But I like it. It's vaguely train/coal fire sounding!

    Meh. It's been snowing since 4:30 and all we have is about a half inch of very fine snow. Dog likes it... Kids are pizzed because it's not enough for sledding or the snowmobile. Made my son help me put some of the big rounds I had on the driveway in wood shed. He was really concerned that they would be 'hidden' in the deep snow.

    We'd need some of that deutsch schnee to bury these monsters:thumbs:

    Suposed to get upwards of 20” tomorrow not Sunday. Been some time since we got that amount of snow.

    I filled the inside wood rack and gave the snowblower a once-over

    Let the flakes fly

    Mega surprise this morning. Snow!

    5, maybe 6 inches of very dry fine snow. A lot of drifting ... Which is awesome. Did some snowblowing at my folks, neighbors kid blew out my drive, and the Drolet was loaded with some dry locust and pumping heat at around 700 degrees when I got home. Having some breakfast before I take the kids sledding. Perfect morning.

    Yeah, I think it was that guy.

    As to our snowpocalypse, we've gotten about 2" so far. There might be more later tonight. I'm off to start the snowblower.
