check - that looks like my place exccept for the help.

we've had it snow for the past week, with snow in the forecast for the next week yet. my guess is that i'm walking on a foot of snow, and also walking through a foot of snow ... all in the past 3 weeks. the cold, the wind, blowing snow, and the windchill are the real challenges though. chickena and dogs are not fans of this either.

when the buildup in a snowfall is 4-6 inches my little kubota manages fine. at this point i'm running out of places to push it all, and the driveway is getting smaller. An inverted snowblower is the only type that I am interested in, but too pricey for me currently.

next year, some upgrades for the tractor ... 1) front snow blade 2) tire chains 3) wheel spacers 4) weights

i plowed for about 4.5 - 5 hrs today ... divided between 2 efforts. way too cold at -20C (-5F approx) and wind, for any extended time. i wanted it done today, because there will be more snow overnight, and i am hoping to get a ride to the Christmas Service at Church in the morning. Access to the property is essential ... we had 26 cms (about 10 inches) of snow yesterday alone.

Merry Christmas !!! (can't find any Christmas emojis)

If you need a good DIY tooth anaesthetic, try cloves. Clove oil used to be used by dentists as a local topical anaesthetic.

large quantities of rum can help, but remember: it doesn’t stop the pain, you just stop caring about the pain. . .

Thanks mate. I just asked Lesley if we have any and she said, yes we do. Thanks for the reminder.

Pigs can be pretty aggressive when attacked:

Wife happened on some during her walk

They like when I mow.

Poured first cup of hot coffee. 14° with light snow this morning. Heading to 17° with more light snow. Looks like 4" of snow fell overnight. Did not get tractor out and plow snow yesterday. Took snow shovel to walkways. May do the same today. Had a good dinner and opened gifts at sons yesterday evening. Going to spend today calling a long list of family and friends.

Sassy and I want to wish everyone a
Very Merry Christmas.

​

Good Morning All.

Merry Christmas all!
Temperature is 7 and the high going to 14°F. Wind W 15 gusting to 22 mph. 40% chance of flurries. We got an inch since I plowed.

I am sure glad I don't live down around Cobourg or Port Hope, ON. They had b i g trees down all over the place and zero power. I would be surprised if they had power today.
401 AND 402 were closed in both directions for a time yesterday and Friday from London to Windsor (401) and from Talbot Rd. (Hwy 4) to Sarnia on the 402. Between accidents and whiteouts and the way people down there drive it is little wonder they get into accidents. Going he77 bent for election and tailgating. A few injuries and hurt pride, that is all I know of so far.

Happy Birthday Mrs. BEF and FD1952, now we know what the numbers signify.

check, you got a lot more snow than we did, but you ARE in the snow belt whereas I am north of it. My total for this storm is about 8". We didn't get the wind, thankfully.

Everybody have a safe and Merry Christmas.
