Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

32 and about 3 or 4 inches of snow on the ground...forecast calls for 1 to 3 more. The ground never froze, so slowly melting as it falls.

Plans today call for hiking in the snow to track the animals that roamed around last night, then hitting the gym, keeping the wood stove hot, and decorating the tree. Coco got an early present - a new glow in the dark Frisbee, so we'll probably fire that up and go out and play in a few minutes, after I finish my coffee.

Last night I finally got to watch those You-tubes of drilling with cloth and using a rubber band - quite ingenious.

Good morning all, 32 this morning going to 34 with an 80% chance of snow. 80% during the night but none yet. NWS id now saying 2 to 4 in, was saying less than 1". Took a load of stuff out of the garage to the storage unit and got the snow blower going, just in case. Electric start and it fired right up so no big deal.

Buckeye, praying for you this morning, might need to get out and play in the snow.

Top, still praying for you brother. Glad you are safe.

Have a great day. Ed

Got some time to play with the Tormek and I love it. Sharpened a set if chisels and they leave a finish like glass. :thumbsup:

Ed, is it true you can always tell when someone gets a Tormek by the hairs missing from places they wouldn't normally shave ?

25 right now...low 30's as the high and maybe some snow showers today or tonight.

Only chores are a dump run this morning...look at a walk-behind snow blower for the walks and I've got a guy coming over to look at a pair of tractor snow chains I had for my 4400 Deere.
After that, we'll see what goes

Very little additional snow last night some more today

Looking into crystal ball to January look for moderating temperatures but wild swings from very cold to mild thrown in very little precipitation for SE and MidAtlantic

Good morning, the sleet battle here is over and snow has won out. Forecast for more today and Sunday too.

Don, you've got me obsessed with rubber bands, everything I see these last couple of days makes me think of them. For example, a friend came yesterday with a flat bed trailer to collect a few bales of silage for his cattle. As he tightened the straps the bales started to slide, the pressure making an almost friction less contact between the plastic wrapping and the compacted sleet on the bed. How many rubber bands would it take to fix that ? Far too many he guessed, so he will be back today with a sided trailer.

Then the funny farm sheep balls - removed nowadays by a tight rubber band.

Newbury, not seen those laundry balls before, do they work ? I gave the sheep a snowball for breakfast

Toppop glad you made it out of a bad situation

Buckeyefarmer still praying for you

Riptides still praying for you keep positive thoughts

Just started snowing here. Will see what comes.

Eric, not here, I just checked them out skimming some wood off of a scrap of plywood. When it skims wood of easy with just hand pressure and leaves a slick surface it is good for me.

Have a great day. Ed

Poured first cup of coffee. 22° with light snow this morning. Heading to 31° with light snow. Snow from yesterday melted any place the sun shined. No sun today. Get to sweep walkway again today. Got 4 totes of Christmas decorations in house. Wife has been going thru them. Today's project will probably be helping her put them up.
Buckeye, hope you are feeling better soon.
Eric, wife uses the wool balls in dryer. Helps to keep items from clumping together.
Good Morning All.
