It wimped out - err

The snow storm from Wednesday morning was too much for the Tool Cat.

I almost got stuck just trying to get out of the shed and going down hill.

18" with 36" drifts of wet snow requires a payloader to remove.

We had lots of hours of 40-50 mph winds afterwards. I am thinking that should have dried out the moisture, and we can try to move mountains once again.

It took me 55 min. to drive 15 miles from work with my 4x4 pickup at 2am. Did not want to get stuck at that hour of the morning.

Thomas,
I would rather they get it then us !
This winter stuff is for the young and foolish. I had 4 degrees when I left for coffee at 5:15 AM and 2 degrees when I drove home at 6:30 and the power was out, but only for maybe 30 minutes.
Still beats dealing with an 18" storm.

I'd rather have the snow then the rain. I also like a couple of feet on the ground during winter, helps insulate. We are below 0 this morning and only had about 3" of snow last night. Might have 5-6" all together IMO opinion not enough for these temps.

Too ashamed to take pictures.

The sustained 40-50 mph winds for a couple of days took away lots of the moisture and weight - quite the wind chill though.

Thomas,
Indeed it was. When I left for coffee at 5:15 AM it was -2. I would dearly love to trade my extra hot coffee in for a Pina Colada and a climate that better suits my aging bones.
