Looks like we have snow heading this way as well. I better get the sled ready! Nothing better than coming in worn out from sledding to a good deer roast!

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I got full faith and confidence in B. Ya'll get talking about a snowblower and he'll build one in his garage out of an old washing machine motor and a radio flyer.

I was hoping for the snow here but it shifted north. I have a hill in the back to sleigh ride on, the dogs would love playing in it and so would I.

I'm really disappointed that the snow is missing us. Looks like a bunch of ice, fun stuff.

All this talk of snow - took the family to Fairmont Hot Springs today and spent the day in the outdoor pool/hot tubs getting a sun burn (on my face, anyway). Still waiting for the next blast of winter I know is coming - keeps life interesting...

Now,...Steelhead is gonna jump in and tell me that the only reason it bothers me is because I'm a borin' fugger. I won't even argue the point. I don't givva chit. I may be borin',...I dunno,...I don't care,..but this damn North Pole chit has done drove me crazy.
I don't know how you fuggin' yankees get by,....I really don't. They got liquor joints bigger than football stadiums!!

At 5:30 a.m. here it's -22°F (-30°C). Sunday the high temp for the day was -4°F (-20°C). That's close to a record low for this time of year.

Bought a used snowblower this weekend. 8hp, electric start and about 4000 lbs.
Sorta figure I've just made sure it never snows in WI again.  Compared to last winter this one has been a piece of cake.. Maybe 3" of snow on the grounds, dry roads, sunshine now most days, and even January was rather balmy.. I don't think I've used 2 gallons of diesel to clear the driveway to date.. Last year I hadda fill up the TANK about 3 times... 'Nother 6 weeks and I may be able to roll out one of the Harleys.. Yeeehaaaa!

It's been a rather snowless winter here. I have a feeling we are in for one more, big and bad storm...I hope I am wrong. Climate change is a hoax but the patterns have definitely changed. As a kid we'd have to wade through the snow and get up to a week off from school frequently. Now the storms circumvent us but it's no gift. We still get single digits with strong winds pushing the WCF to -20s frequently. So it's frigid brown-grey winter -- enough to throw one into a depression after a couple of months. Plus I can't hunt the wild dogs the way I'd like.
