Good morning!!!!

I'm just not sure the somewhat flimsy Harbor Freight winch mount will hold up to dragging trees or self rescuing the tractor should the need arise.

Yeah. I'm not an engineer but I could see a little more structure if you were going to do any heavy pulling.

Got up early this morning to a couple inches of snow and 9° for a temp.

Walked Gypsy, let the truck warm up and drove my wife to work this morning in the truck. Dropped my wife off and then went into the shop.

Just as I pulled up to the gate this morning at work, my boss calls and cancels work today

Took care of a couple things there. We had a hot shot driver waiting at the gate to drop off some equipment. And set up a couple pickups for one of our customers.

Then took the slow drive home in white out conditions.

We got another 6 to 8" of snow from around 5:40 this morning when I left the house to 10:00am when I got back home.

Saw quite a few cars getting belly hung and losing traction this morning. So unless they actually plow the secondary roads this week, my wife will be riding with me this week to get to work.

Supposed to have a similar storm come through on Wednesday. If we get the same totals as today, that will put us up to around 20" of snow for the week.

Thats world ending snow levels for our area

Bet the news will be calling it snowageddon or snowpocolipse, or something just as stupid this week

Heres the road out in front of the neighborhood this morning

Buckeye, my son ended up with my Mini Drone. He has been flying it in the house from one to the other and up and down stairs. He has not shared any video with me yet. Both videos you post were good.

Mostly, got 2 large boxes of purses and wallets. Took me couple of hours to make sure there was nothing in any of them of importance. Some of the purses must have had 20 pockets in them.
l.

Thanks, watching my brother crash his made me want to fly mine. I sat on my side porch swing, flew it higher and further than I’ve flown it before. No leaves on trees made a big difference, usually I get weak signal warning going to back of property.

I think my wife left her Subaru key in old purse when she threw it out. When I saw it in trash can, I knew I should have gone thru it.

65°F and no rain

Shot reaction seems to have passed, feeling good so far this morning.

All this talk of taxes, mine await.

Zoom Happy Hour this afternoon.

Hope everyone is being extra cautious with the challenging weather.

Prayers for all
Be safe
Have a great day

Our miserably cold weather is forecast to only get worse tonight and tomorrow, and not much better for a week or so. And I've figured we'd be OK as long as the electricity doesn't go off. BUT the TV news says the power company, Ercot, has started their "rolling blackouts" 15 to 45 minutes at a time. However, the news lady reporting such says where she is, the power has already been off for 2 hours. It ain't easy for an old man to get to the back of our washing machine in the garage, but I managed and turned off the water a few minutes ago.

At least if LOOKED cold outside this morning, BUT now the sun has come out and looking out the window, it appears to be a beautiful sunny day. But the temperature outside is still 5 degrees.:confused3:

+1°F and snowing this morning, going up to 9° today. We are expecting significant snow here, anywhere from 5-10" they say. We got about 2" overnight. Second wave started about 9am.

Overnight lows of 0°F (iThingie said "-0°") and a brisk wind all weekend made those morning walks to and from the chicken coop seem much longer. The regular metal water dispenser froze up, so we switched to a plastic crock. It's been freezing up around the top as well, so I switched it out for another one this morning. That little heater plate under the water only puts out so much heat, and it's not keeping up with this weather. Looks like we get back up above freezing next weekend, with more snow later this week.

Oldest stepson sent a picture to his mother this morning, looking out their front door in San Marcos. It's 10°F and they have about 2-3" of snow on the ground there. Looks like Canada came to visit south Texas.
Edit: He went out and measured, and it's 5".

I thought he meant like Bill or Betsy.

I wondered that too, I have called it the bumble bee.

 

[buckeyefarmer]

I believe we have had over 100" of snow in the last 9 days.

Wow, better you than me

 

[buckeyefarmer]

That's the EE coming out in you. LOL.

Yea, we make similar products. We just put a satellite up on the spacex launch a week or so ago.
