Ross, I'd be elated if some of this would melt but I guess we're in for a bit of real winter weather.

Heaviest wet snow I've seen in a long time Ross. No school today, kids played in it for 4 hours straight while I cleared enough to keep the milk truck driver happy.

Raining hard now, maybe I might still get the last 35 acres of corn off before spring.

glad we left the snow down! if it turns too freezing rain got some way of busting it up! had a big deere come by for assistance getting his three point down so he can hook up too the blower, said the roads was some slick! needed a loader tractor too push down on the arms as they was stuck in the up position! guess i have to travel over and give him a hand getting the duals off though they may be usefull if this all turns to mud! 16th dec last year got a melt that took all the snow away and left roads awash!

WR may ya get a chinook too clear out some room for more snow! (and lots of snow and cold for the Olympics!)

Nope, we're not going to see any Chinooks for a while. We finally got up to -11 today and we're going to get considerably colder before it warms up.

I feel better, 14 degrees yesterday (cold for PNW by Hood Canal)... No snow, yet. We usually only get a few snows, which normally melt. Not sure what to expect this year and no one I know has a snow blower. Last year (record snow Winter), all the neighbors with heavy equipment were out clearing driveways

If we could switch the hot air and fertilizer on and off they might come in handy.
Hard to find a use for something that spews from both ends constantly......
