That's a good place to store it...
Upstate, Monroe, NY. About 5" so far with some wind less than 10 degrees . Headed out now with the Big Red Max blower to do deck, truck, and hard to get at places. Saves me a lot of shoveling work. Stay warm you guys/gals and somebody please send me some Global Warming.-----------------------------Ray
LSD, 150' dbl. driveway clear now but it is freezing. Almost "0" degrees three nights in a row. Please eat more beans. ☺️------------------------------Ray
I'm doing my part. I've been breaking warm wind all day. It must have been the taco salad we had last night. 😁

1/31/22-------At 6am was -5 degrees. At 1pm it is above freezing. Thanks you guys for the Global Warming.-------------------Ray
We got that much snow a while back. Didn't make the national news.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
A good friend of mine sent me a picture of the area around his place in Concord, MA. Glad I'm not there.
Midwest is about to get hammered Weds and Thurs
Yeah, I'm bringing a lot of firewood in. I think the only reason I stay in Indiana during the winter is stupidity.
I have a home just north of you. Got a man that mows it during the summer and cleans out the drive in the winter.
In recent years select-fire I find it hard to get anybody that wants to work. I'm no spring chicken anymore and have trouble keeping up with this place. Mowing, dead trees to drop, cut, split, and stack. Plus help finishing the interior of my shop - the list just goes on.
It looks like we will finally get a decent snowfall this week. We are supposed to get between 10-13" of snow on top of some ice. My tractor and I can hardly wait.
Joe
Woo hoo!!!! Chains?
I have R4 tires on my Kubota, and with 4 WD and an FEL, I have never gotten in a situation that I couldn't get out of, YET!!!
We had a blizzard a few years ago that dumped 26" on us. I didn't have any trouble cleaning up then, but we didn't get a prelude of ice then either.
Joe
You just haven't tried hard enough. Got my 4WD with FEL in Mud. The F250 pulled it out.
Up here in New York on the Vermont border. Ground has a dusting, been that way so far this winter, though it has been colder then a well diggers butt hole.
Please excuse my ignorance guys but what is FEL?
Yep, you got that right. Between two snowfalls 1.5 feet on the ground down here in Orange County. About mid-night and its 5 degrees outside. I guess about 4 days of this single digit weather.--------------------------Ray
coming here weds and thurs ...... got lots of propane and and cranked up the generator today ....4wd vehicles and choice of tractors.....it will get down around zero with wind...used to like winter but no more...stocked up on groceries with a home delivery in town to be picked up tomorrow morn for our country place.....seems everyone around here has some form of covid......mild to DOA...we got 2 shots with booster and a flu shot.....

FEL = Father En Law. He is the guy who comes out and puts the loader on your tractor. After all, he owes you big time for getting his cake-eating daughter out of his house.
I tried to post a picture of my Kubota, but the Body is 579450 bytes too long. Sorry
Joe
Getting nothing but dry cold fronts here in Utah, and we're desperate for snow. Got only 6 1/2" total in January, in three so-called storms.
Good lord, spelling has even changed snc I wnt to scul.🙃
Sounds like more than we have had!!! (S/W CO) Going to be a long dry summer... 😕

Back in 1978 here in Ohio blizzard hit hard national guard helicopters front in loaders theworks power out snowmobiles helping get supply and help to rural people no fun
As of now We're supposed to get 8 to 12 inches of snow a layer of ice and 40 mph winds
We have a old 8n tractor with out tire chains it's OK but with the tire chains it 90% better
Sad part I have the blade on but still need to put the tire chains on procrastinating bit me on this one
Still going on in the midwest.
