Good Morning, Brothers & Sisters Thread

I got a laugh when I read this as it was 8 degrees here this morning. 8 C so in your temps it would be 46 F It is rather warm even for us at this time of year.

 

It's still flurrying but I went out and cleared the driveway. Spread some rocksalt where one is likely to walk.





Time to sit in front of the fire and have a cup of coffee with a glug or three of Fireball.

 

Morning all. Sky is clearing this morning. When we headed out for breakfast, I could see the sliver of moon still in the sky. It could be a nice day today.

I have to adjust the timers on my outdoor Christmas lights. It is darker sooner in the evening and later in the morning that what I set it for. Our street has a lot of houses lit up at night. I will try to get pics of the downtown lights tonight. We have a logging truck decorated as Santa's sled and a feller buncher decorated cutting down a decorated tree. Only in a logging community!

Bookkeeping, house cleaning and hopefully some Christmas baking today. Not putting up the Christmas tree quite yet. Maybe later this week. I have a church council meeting for tonight so the bookkeeping comes first.

Everyone have a great day.

 

The 1st snow is nice to look at.

 

Curious what you're using for a snowblower on the deck. I've been toying with the idea of getting a second snowblower just for the deck (large wraparound on two sides of the house). I currently use a sleigh shovel, and I have three sections of railing that are pinned so I can remove them and just push the snow off the deck (it's one story up due to the raised basement). I'm probably going to rule out most electric snowblowers due to the amount of snow that comes of the front roof onto the deck and is compacted (whoever designed this house was probably NOT from NH...who designs a roof in NH that dumps the snow on the deck? ).

Have you ever had an issue with the snowblower damaging the deck?

 

It's a Troy-bilt 2410. It used to be my dad's.

It's a backup to my larger Troy-bilt 2810.

It's handy on the deck. Now real damage. Maybe a scratch on a 40yr deck. Not going to bother me.

It'll get used twice a storm. The 2nd time is when I pull snow off the roof. We have a tendency for ice dams.

I've also used a 14" electric plug in, single stage on the deck. Still better than shoveling.
