    Not bad
    A fine small flake, a little dense , not powder .

    But Yea, it's a dry snow

    It won't stick if I let the plow get cold before it touches the snow
    I usually wipe oil (have a rag soaked with used oil & keep it in a can by the plow) on the blade before use, helps a lot.

    About 2", still snowing. 25°

    LOL

    Well expecting, no, but hoping yes :)
    Gotta dream.

    Was enjoying the high 30° stuff in November.
    Much better to have snow than rain though.

    Bummer is the short days for 2 more months,
    Beginning's of cabin fever symtoms.

    Now that it's here,
    I hope to get enough to get the sled out & do some riding.

    Get that plow on Dave, its time! ( I received my plow setup and installed it 1 day before the last storm.)

    We've had around 10" between 2 storms already. I think we will have a VERY cold & snowy winter again this year.

    Try some cooking spray, just make sure you swipe it when the wife isn't looking.

    I would have to spend a lot of time in front of a happy light if I were there. Daylight is too short. Doesn't help with depression.

    The low sun angel don't warm anything up. Mts block the sun till about 11:30 & its setting about 3:40 pm.

    Just think,
