It's Snowing, It's Snowing

I'm in Upstate NY and we got about 2 inches so far. Not enough to plow but it is still snowing. I guess they are getting clobbered south by NYC and Penn. They have all the airports closed and my Neice is supposed to be flying into Newark airport after her tour in Iraq. I don't know what she will do other than sit in an airport somewhere and wait. I guess she is just plain happy to be back in the USA regardless of the inconvenience. She is a good kid. God bless her.

Over a foot now and counting. The Junkman must be up to his butthole by now in this white crap. NYC has 2 feet of snow according to the news at 12pm. Your neice will probably land in Bangor. Jersy is closed and Philly has a 275 minute delay. The snow is getting deeper. A lot of it is blowing out of my driveway, which is good for me.

Back in the 1930's when Mayor LaGuardia ran New York City, he was overheard to say "G-d put it there.... let G-d take it away..." when asked when the streets would be plowed.
Actually we have about a foot of snow near the house where it has been blowing around. I have no idea of how much is on the driveway out to the main road. I am not a believer in the saying "plow with the storm" because when I do, I usually get stuck and have to walk back to the house. If I wait till it stops, then I can better see where I am going and I don't get stuck. I haven't gotten stuck in better than 10 years now for that reason and also because I put studded snow tires on the truck. I used to have these wide snow tires with chains, and I was always getting stuck. Now I have narrow 8 ply studded tires and no problems. The last storm, I didn't even use the truck, since I wanted to know if the Kubota snow blower could handle it. Did a great job, but it did take a lot longer. I usually do the edges with the snow blower after I plow. That keeps the road open and no snow banks to fight with the next storm. My cab is installed and it is a delight to use. This spring when it gets warmer, I will install the heater for next snow season. Junk...

Gone But Not Forgotten
You guys talk about snowing and lovin it. I went out ice fishing with a body today. Man can't beat the weather for Minnesota this time of year. I am told by the DNR that they won't be taking ice measurements on Lake Pepin this year. You can see why in the pic. Barges may come up pretty early this year.
