Good morning!!!!

[wngsprd]

8 going to 24...stayed pretty windy all night.

Been too cold to melt any snow. Did some good animal tracking yesterday and confirmed the red fox is still using the old den.

May try to get into town today to go to the gym, and BEF has me wanting some 5 Guys...maybe if I do extra cardio.

Mostly, cool weather station, but not sure you'll ever register any precip like it is.

Ed, hope you can get a nap today...or at least some quiet time in your shop.

BEF, glad you don't need the surgery...and hoping it stays that way.

Riptides, I bet you're counting the hours down to get home...hope it is a good trip.

Ed, praying for you and yours buddy!

12 feels like -3, but shooting up to 19 today, -3 tonight 18 tomorrow. Near 60 next week, bring it on!

Call from nursing home to tell me I might have been exposed to type A influenza Wednesday when I went to visit mom. I did wear a mask because of my own upper respiratory stuff going on. Gotta call doc to see if I should get Tamiflu prophylactically.

Indeed outstanding good news BEF. :thumbsup:

WOW! That is a fair bit of snow for MD. I think I would hire a kid to shovel it.

-20 and going to warm up to -9. Wind NW 17 mph. 30% chance of flurries, but no accumulation.

I don't think I have anything on my plate for today. At least nothing I am going to do.

Stay safe all and NO snow shoveling. Remember, the good Lord giveth and the good Lord taketh away. It will be gone by June.

7 degrees and the temp keeps dropping.
Not motivated to go out in this and it's going to get colder tonight.

Still a little sore from shoveling for two hours yesterday.
This was not a light and fluffy storm, even with drifts. Each shovel had some weight and it all adds up.

Still wondering how to deal with this in the future. Best implement on my paved driveway would be a forward rotating brush but have no other use for it. Geez I thought I'd never have to walk behind a snowblower again....
My initial idea of using my pull behind blower was a joke, axles are too low, would have gotten jammed up in snow.
I won't get my back blade anywhere near that pavement; don't trust my abilities not to wreck things.

New official snow total is 12.5”.

On asphalt I turn the blade around so it won’t dig in. I don’t have asphalt here just shells and pavers, but old place was pavement and concrete.

and it's not melting...go slow with that Randy. Little bit at a time.
Where are the bands of teenagers all holding up shovels and looking for work?

forecast for tonight and tomorrow? Pipebusting weather. 1 degree tomorrow night. Very, very cold for this area.
Going to light a fire today and just let it run, have lots of wood to burn and this is the time.

now that's a fine idea. Still don't want to do it.
