Ha, this AM I used two shovels to take care of the 1" or 2" lake effect snow we had overnight. From what I hear tonight the weatherman seems to thing Saturday night into Sunday a major snow storm may effect our area upstate, humn them maybe I'll have to get the big boy out to do a little snow removal.

The great lake effect snow machine is keeping most Michigan members too busy to post!
60-70 inches since Wednesday here and I'm sure some in the U P have it worse.
Have fun out there!

The weather folks in Roanoke Va have their tighties in a knot because weather models are predicting 15" to 28" of snow beginning Thurs. night into Sat. If the models are correct anywhere in that range will surely cripple this area. Much like other areas this winter has been unseasonably warm with average temps for Dec. was 48 deg. with plenty of days into the 60's to low 70's. Though being equipped to handle said amounts of snow I would be just tickled to not have any of that snow here at our mini farm. Chicken will have to remain cooped up as they tend to have issues getting back to the hen house after any measure of that fluffy white stuff. Anyways I will keep you posted as what really happens as the event unfolds.

Too soon to tell here. The doom & gloom guys aren't even fully revved up yet.

I hear that southern Ontario around Lake Ontario got some nasty weather, but up here in Northern Ontario all we got was cold. -16F yesterday morning and again this morning.

The last snow (about 1/2") blew away during the night. It's 20F right now and we're forcast the first snow storm of this winter. Possible accumulation from Fri nite to Saturday nite is 5-11" with temps between 19-26F. NO big deal.

Nothing too bad so far. Hoping we might melt a bit off this week. Im finding my little vermeer works great pushing snow. The weight of the machine, foamed tires, and good chains gives me lots of traction and the 6 way blade is really handy.

Well.......after a warm start to the season, old man winter dropped by, and he was TICKED!! Northern Virginia has been nearly tropical until late last week, thrilled that it MAY get to freezing for a high today!

They're now calling for a blizzard Friday into Sunday morning with a possible 2' accumulation! I think I might put the chains on the tractor.

Quick, bread, milk, toilet paper! It's, it's, it's..........SNOWMAGEDDON! See you guys if I survive, if not....remember me well, and NO, you cannot offer my widow 1/2 price for my tractor!

I have been in Va. and NC. during some significant snow storms. You won't have to worry too much about it. Even if you do clean your driveway out it will be several days before the roads are driveable so you won't be able to get any farther than the end of your driveway..

It's great fun to get out with a plow in 4" of snow. 5-7" of snow is just fun. Then 18-24+" is Work!! Once I get into it though I like to help out neighbors and family
