Its 6am Saturday and im watching the weather. I think your snow blower will be justified. Southern Jersey thru the Poconos in PA  is going to get slammed. Some are comparing it to the 1996 storm. They are calling for a foot to 20"

I put the plow on the truck last night, and while doing so, lost a very important cotter pin. Needless to say after about 30 minutes of panic, a couple..........well alot , of 4 letter words and a thrown wrench or two, i realized i put it in my pocket. I proudly accept the dumbazz award!!

Well, off to change the oil in the 4 wheelers and fire up the snowmobiles  :x

Wifee gonna be baking Xmas cookies and making homemade fudge all day.  I dont think it gets any better than this!!!

Safe travels everyone.

We're going to get hit late Saturday night.  Not looking forward to working tonight.  Any type of precipitation brings out the crazies.

yep. 8.30 right now, and it's kinda weird. in my neighborhood, only 8 miles from my shop, there's only an inch or 2 so far. at the shop, i'm seeing from four to six in the parking lot.
 visibility is less than 1/4 mile on the freeway, and pretty much everywhere. there's been salt trucks out, but i've yet to see a single govt. agency with a plow touching blacktop.

 wasn't the 96 storm somewhere around 3 feet?

i did that once or twice when i used to plow. after a couple of times, i got into the habit of always mounting the plow at the mere mention of snow. no panic hooking it up through bleary eyes in the little hours of the morning that way.
careful out there.

One storm in my hometown a year and a half ago. Almost all this snow fell in a matter of days. And it happens at least once a year.

just heard on b101......ours is supposed to continue into tomorrow.

funny thing.....we aren't grinding to a halt, although i did have a guy in front of me on the way here that was afraid to go over 10mph. i think this makes him as dangerous as the guys that think they can do 50 mph in this stuff. mostly because driving THAT slow means he's afraid, and has 0 confidence....and will be guaranteed to be making a mistake

Some shots i captured this week, driving and listening the news about Hopenhagen and global warming









.. near Edmonton,AB ,this cattles must be cloned with polar bear, they live outdoors day and night without any shelter in this brutal low temperature, you can eat Canadian beef with confidence, no virus or bacteria survives here.


...i would bring those heretics Global Warming  protesters here ,take their clothes off, and baptize them  in the  boiling Bow River ,Calgary .


 my global warmer froze Monday morning,around Red Deer ,Alberta was about -42 Celsius :furious
