Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

Cold, cloudy, windy and oh...COLD!! Been out taking down Christmas decorations, did the inside yesterday, would have done the outside then too but 2" of rain kept me in the house.

No report from RJ..hmmmm,hope power still on and not snow in..
"I haven't installed my tire chains yet (buried under last week's snow). Guess I'll see how well turfs do without chains".

The Deere did quite well, thank you!
We didn't lose power either...not at home and only momentarily at work.
The drive to and from work was quite interesting...but just use some sense (and an all wheel drive Subaru) and I got there and back quite safely.

Is that BDD comparable to our Super Bowl parties or is it a dysfunctional family thing?

If a super bowl party isn't dysfunctional, it's probably not much fun???

Good morning! 26˚with about 8" of snow on the ground. The new atv does a great job plowing the drive. I really like having a winch to operate the plow rather than the manual lift I used to have. Have a good one!

Joe...I have used a winch on my Honda Foreman 450 to raise and lower the plow when moving snow for nine years now. Since I ONLY use the winch for that purpose, I only have a few feet of cable installed on the winch drum. Read someplace a long time ago that it can cause problems with the cable not spooling properly if you leave the entire length of the cable on the drum but only use a few feet of it.

Ya, I may have to do the same thing. The cable on my winch drum is looking like a birds nest.

Around 23 degrees and windy. Took the ashes out this morning and could smell the wood fire smoke! Today it is going to warm right up to 32 degrees F so they say.

20 degrees here now...quite balmy after a couple days ago (when it was 2 degrees at 0500). Should see the low 20's as a high today.
Snow is stil dusting, but the event is over for the most part.

29 and hazy??? I can see the full moon, but it has a slightly obscuring haze, and I can only see a couple stars, not a clear night sky, but I cannot see any clouds.

Yesterday I had a 4 hour drive home from the DC Beltway area ...

Be well all,
David
