It is Friday, might as well take it off. Have a long weekend and the plows might have things sorted by Monday.
speaking of plowing, I've got to do some of that myself.

Not much snow here...

Before this storm they announced a 48 hour overnight parking ban to help with the clean up. Nobody is happy about that.

Wife is talking about going to work at noon. I'll be taking her, but I will have to see a plow first.

Hopin' the plowman cometh! This is why I was glad to escape Minnesota in '69. Our driveway was the distance in your photo to the vehicle and there were no snow-blowers and you had to do a path to the rear porch for the milkman and the front stoop for the newsboy who still put it 'twixt the storm door and front door...:down:boy am I dating myself. We used to string resistance (heat) wire on the eave-ends (zig-zig) of the roof to prevent death-by-icicle:timeout: My truckin' to Duluth days and recent trip to Pennsylvania during the (so-called) blizzard-of-the-century have refreshed my recollections of the wintry gulag! Hats off to you guys!:salute:

Taken today, Feb. 6. I guess I'm not cutting the lawn any time soon.:O:

It will be all gone by labour day.:up::D:haha:

It'll take a whole lot of 'labour' to get rid of that :hmmm:

I shall let nature take its course. :D

I'm gonna go out and blow the 6" of snow we got yesterday and last night.

Yes, I found this by Betonov:

Whoa, mamma! It's cold in South Dakota. Thank god there is no rain or snow for tomorrow.

It is going to -24F tonite. Now that is a little cool. The high tomorrow is gonna be 0F. I might have to put on my winter coat.

-27 Celsius with the wind chill :-o

+5°C, rain, ruining my ice :/\\!!

It didn't get quite as nippy as was forecast last night. -26F or -36C but there is a wind chill factor, I'm not going outside to check that out.

Reservoirs are full in Napa officially so the summer drought is alleviated after three days and 6 inches of rain. Sunny in the high 60's today so off to sail on the bay with brand new Dacron sails and a new auto-furler 150% sized jib. so my job just got easy. Winds are a tepid 5 knots though so we'll probably just be motoring against a wicked outtide in the Carquinez Strait. Lunch is on the captain today!:arrgh!:

Temperature at the moment...
0°F and a wind chill of -16° F.

I'll stay in the house.:timeout:

That is a little frosty for P.A.

I'm not going anywhere today. No snow to blow until maybe tomorrow and the grub was bought yesterday. I just looked at our temp. -20F a good excuse to stay in.

You don't need to tell me.:haha:
