Default SNOW AND MORE SNOW

Well it started about 5:00 AM, snowing heavy, forecast for 24-36 in have to start scraping every 2-3 hrs do not have a 4 wheel drive tractor need to get one for this steep driveway, should start blowing late today and tomorrow winds 40- plus probably will blow the stuff everywhere, but it sure is pretty! At least we got back late last night from Carolina before the storm started, A little trouble but life is good, will try to get some photos for you guys later as the storm continues, thank goodness for a 20KW generator!

Yes Gary, you guys are really in for it on this one, stay safe. Here I sit in Central NH with barely 4" of old snow on the ground and "south of the Mason/Dixon line you are getting hammered, go figure

As Steve said I feel sorry for you guys. Here in S. Michigan we have cold temps but less then a few inches of snow and a dusting coming down now. Yesterday I just moved the snowblower from the garage to the barn as it wasn't being used. Again be safe Gary and all of the others that are getting hit with this storm....

We are going to miss the brunt of the storm, expecting only 4" here in the northern panhandle of WV, but southern WV is going to get hammered big time. I had the generators out and fired them up just in case, and filled the gas cans. Going to make an apple pie tonight and plan on spending Sat with a good upland book. I have a half dozen here not read yet including That's Ruff, A Fall of Woodcock, GBE's Hunting the Blacwater-Cannan, Partridge Shorten', a Charlie Waterman book, and a few more. Hope you all ride this storm out safely.

A great weekend for reading by the fire in these parts. Here in central Maryland we expect to get hammered pretty good too. Stay safe and warm everyone...

Harold- curl up in that cabin and wait for the thaw

i agree - start with That's Ruff

although i find it mind boggling there are GBE titles in the not read yet list
