    It was around 2 degrees this morning so I plugged the radiator hose inline heater in and then used the rhino to put in two loads of regular firewood and a partial load of Ironwood in.

    After we did the above, I grabbed a shovel and cleared some snow away from certain areas around the house. After I was done shoveling , I went inside for a travel mug full of coffee and then more plowing with the 4540. Plowing on the northside was nice because of the sun but back in the woods with a touch of wind and no sun made it feel colder quick.

    Yup. Needed sunglasses yesterday while pushing some snow. Lots of glare damaging the old eyes even further.

    I'm glad you don't have any symptoms and I hope you get closer to home soon.

    The driveway was/is all ice so I put ashes on it first and then a bunch sand, even if it doesn't need sand tomorrow, the 3 point sander will go on. The driveway looks like picture 0065.

    What a skating rink that is.
    That has a slip and fall written all over it. Proceed with caution.

    You might be better off with a Zamboni?

    Mother Nature is our Zamboni. We received five inches of snow so all the ashes and sand that I put down is underneath but the snow has added great traction so the boss said leave it.

    Some people in our town lost power, I'm not sure if they actually received more ice before the snow or they just had more wind but our power stayed on so that's good.

    We'll get more snow from this next system but it looks like the wind might stay south of us.

    Yes, we both do. The rain and snow with the freezing weather that followed created what I call, snice which has some great traction.

    Snice = rain and snow frozen up.
