Default Left Coast

California Coast
Santa Barbara County
Carpinteria Beach.

We spend our weekends in a cozy loft 100 steps from the shore.
No snow in the forecast.

All you guys on the east coast, be safe and as someone else said use horsepower and not your back to move that snow..... Non of us are getting any younger...

We had freezing rain all night last night here in Southern Kentucky, and then the snow started at 6:00 AM today. It fell unabated on 1/4" of solid ice all day, and still continues as of now. I was very proud of our farm team here (basically my daughter and I are the team!). We have plenty of food stored up, the wine cellar is stocked, and there is plenty of good bourbon. Gas tanks are full and plenty of diesel on hand. Several good books to pick up. The dogs love it, but the horses aren't quite sure! We have two 4WD trucks and the New Holland TN-65, so we won't be confined, but man, this is a big storm here in southern Kentucky. In fact, this storm would challenge storm-ready cities like Detroit or Buffalo!

All in all, a nice time to relax in the shop with a good book and admire over few guns, while sipping a fine Kentucky bourbon.....

Dave

Just took Molly (my Walker Coon Hound) out, the snow was up to her belly, she didn't like it much. I am only a couple hundred yards from the Chesapeake Bay. Northeastwind , the erosion will likely be bad but maby it will turn to rain, who knows. Not much you can do about the weather. Carvel

Gary and everyone else living in snow country,

On a serious note, everyone stay safe, warm, and use horsepower to move wet heavy snow. To all my friends in Alaska, I wish with all my heart you were getting this snow fall instead of the east coast.

And now, for a less-serious statement:

Today the wind blew off of the ocean and we had intermittent rain with high temps around 60 degrees F. Rough stuff for here in pelosiland. But hey, everyone knows that those of us who live in the Bay area are tough hombres. We can take the rough weather!

It's 60 degrees here in Vegas. I saw several parker people at the show.
I had forgotten how good a show this is.

If you guys would have come to the winter Antique & Sporting Arms Show in Las Vegas you wouldn't have these problems. Of course you might not get home from here any time soon!!
