had some wet sticky snow last week, and it made for some
good pictures.. wish i had a better camera and skills, but
some are pretty cool anyway.

Are you starting to get the feeling that summer's pretty much over ???? Nice pics, glad it's at your house & not mine yet. MikeD74T

yea,, we've been in winter mode for 3 weeks,
that's not counting the 16" we got in October!

this weekend we hit 30 for the first time in a week,
supposed to be mid 40's tomorrow.. then monday
they are talking high of 20 again... so here we go...

but,
it is december. so i guess we can't complain any more.

The heavy wet snow usually reaps havoc with the tree branches. It's times like those when you hear the creaking and then the Snap.... Good excuse to buy a wood chipper................

Thanks JB and LBrown,

John, it also creates the need for a generator

that storm in october was heaveir, very wet
snow,, and knocked our power out for about 10-11
hrs or so...
we're still in winter here, ground has a good base of
snow... and the rain sunday and milder temps today (mid 30's)
won't really eat away at much base, so with the cold and
maybe more snow coming, hopefully by the time the snowmobile
trails open in 2 weeks we can ride..
but, by then,, we'll probably go back up to 60 again!

Good Mornin Dutch,
So far only a couple of small snows, just a few inches, and that was it ! It looks like western ny and parts of lakes region has gotten some significant snow so far, lake effect. Im thinking any day now, in fact its going to get quite cold friday so we could get a big dump anytime !

Glad your coal stove is working well, they allways run much better in that cold weather !

My wife and I are leaving for Nashville tommorrow morning, so I guess some warmer weather is in my future !

 

[Dutch445]

have fun in Nashville! surely has to be warmer there than
it will be up north this weekend..

I found out this week that in February, I get to
go to a getaway down in Cabo! (sales achievement award)
so we're going to get a nice mid winter break!

 

[scott_vt]

Good Mornin Dutch,
Cabo, very nice, and very warm ! Your sales must have been very good to get a nice trip like that !

Id love to chat but gotta catch a plane to Nashville ! Im hoping to get a chance to go to Lane Motor Museumdown there!

Hopefully I will get some pics also !

Might get some snow in the top of Virginia tonight.
