Well, off to transfer 4"-6" of snow from the driveway to the lawn and woods with "Miss Junkie 1". AccuWeather says another 1"-3" Monday.    .....Hippy

latest for CT calling for 12-18 inches snow Sunday into Monday with 35 mph winds!! might classify as a blizzard. I could deal with the blizzard of '78 ;; younger (not as wise) . push snow with a TD20  dozer for days. going on 75 without the TD20 only a snow shovel === sucks.

Same here in central jersey, current forecast is 17-18 inches between 7 am Sunday to 7 pm monday.

Well it's meant to rain here, well at the moment actually 

Any  still is meant to be raining

Pretty crappy amd muggy at the moment 

 

We have just clay soil here and if there's any more than a 1/4 of a inch of rain we can't move 

So loaded the Mack for another run 

Still a good old bucket of bolts

Just got a message about another load today, Princess will not be happy ha ha ha

don't get to lost in the snow there

Yeah, it does apparently get cold in aome parts of the world

Stay warm and dry, if all else fails, drink Bourbon 

Have discovered the brand of Basil Hayden Bourbon

Not a bad drop and sure to help keep you warm

And I hope you don't end up with 50 strand Hereford steers after the storm
