Good morning!!!!

Good Morning! 10 degrees but clear and sunny. Spent the day yesterday at the outdoor equipment auction. I felt fine all day cause I dressed right. It may be odd but I enjoyed being to deal with the weather. I have been staying in since Christmas. Yesterday reminded me that I can get out and enjoy some of these nice cold winter afternoons.

Roy, When you moved to Vermont did you have to make improvements to your vehicles? My recollections of visiting winter Vermont is that some of the back roads aren't the very best.

Being carful may not be enough. There is a travel warning - Mexico is not Canada.

Good Morning! 53˚ heading to 73˚. Sunny and foggy.

Went to a neighbors funeral yesterday. He had a very bad day about a year ago. It started with a dog attack, that caused a broken ankle and a stroke, and then infection, loss leg,.....etc. May he RIP.

Sorry to hear of it and it all started from a dog attack, so sad. The last year must have been very tough for him, his family and friends.

Rain and (compared to other parts of North America) a balmy 4C/39F today.
Did my farm sitter training late yesterday afternoon and came home with a pregnant goat. :goat:
All I got to say is the wife is happy, enough said.

I don't think it was a pit bull because the breed not specifically mentioned. All that was said was that their dogs were familiar with him and he never had a problem with them before. He was fixing fence on someone else's land that he leased.

62F and raining. Costco run today. For us that is a 160 mile round trip. Don't go too often, plan around buying dog food. Will pickup 6 of the 40 pound bags today. Stop at Mickey D's for coffee and a bite on way over, shop, lunch in Waimea, likely at the Chinese buffet, then home to unload/unpack. A full day and big check.

Well, the roads here are a lot like West Virginia, but less curves...

There's a lot of frost heaving. Most of the side roads are dirt or gravel. I think living on a paved road is a real luxury in Vermont!

Wait until mud season comes RJ,than the fun really begins.

So I hear...what kind of muck boots do you have?

Thomas · Jan 23, 2013

Chippewa highs logging thread for that extra grip inside the boot theres a warning label..Maybe Harmful to your HEALTH if worn on Mrs. clean floor.

WayneB · Jan 23, 2013

Thomas is so right about mud season. It keeps with our 4-season theme in New England. They are early winter (snow) Lots of Snow, More Snow and finally Mud Season (that brings along the black flies and mosquitos) Oh just can't wait until mud season comes along. Heading toward 12 below tonight and we might hit 10 above tomorrow!!

Guess we don't have to worry about mud season today!!
It's currently -17 degrees and clear. Fortunately, no wind! The predicted high is 6 degrees and sunny...meaning it'll stay cold.

My wife tells me we're supposed to get a storm Friday or Saturday. Not according to the Weather Channel.com Anyone hearing different?

Roy---MINUS 17 DEGREES !!!??? It's a toasty 3 above zero here right now and we got two inches of new powder snow last night. Finally got the issue of the deed resolved so the place is in my name now, when I built on and remodeled I purchased Schlage locks for the doors in part because they can be rekeyed with a simple $14 kit that will do six locks. Did that yesterday upon learning deed transfer had been completed.

Glad I don't have to go anyplace today, enjoy your Thursday everyone.
