25 degrees now and a high of 28 expected.
It's snowing now...the prediction is for 1-3 more inches. It's going to be a fun drive to work.
Boy, the drive home yesterday wasn't too bad until I got off I-89 at Randolph. Secondary road Rt 12 was quite slick...but the worst is when I turned into my street. Maybe I got complacent or cocky...but about halfway down my road (a cul-de-sac about 1/8th mile long) and no more then 150 yards from my house, I slid into a snowbank. Tried pulling it out with the Deere to no avail (the snow is slick and I did not have my chains on...also, the road hadn't been plowed and there was a good 5-6 inches on it). Anyway, cleaned the area behind the truck and used a shovel to dig out as much as I could behind the front a rear tires. With some rocking back and forth, the F-150 got itself out.
My neighbor came out to help...very nice of him but wasn't necessary. He did clean up my drive with his big (42") walk-behind snow blower. Reckon he'll clean up the drives again today (he does live for this) and I'll do the last cleanup on Saturday.

38 this morning wind really working the wind chimes, high of 42 later then clipper snow this evening thru tomorrow. Happy sweetie day to all those who have them. Still got more and more snow to clean too deep for blade fel only way and that's slow for me. Intestional flu again left for one day now back and another no sleep night. At first light will try to go back to work on the snow if I can. Gotta get out today payroll checks to deliver

33F and bright moonlight a little while ago reflecting off the snow. Buppies, with your 2 feet of snow, can't imagine the roads are all cleared, so be wary going out.

Got stuck in the driveway yesterday so was forced to start the tractor to pull the truck out. While I was at it I figured I should finally plow the 300 ft driveway after suffering through it for around a month. That act of defeat on my part pretty much guarantees a big warmup soon that will have melted the snow anyway. That's how my luck goes so get ready for warmer weather.

I got up, looked out the window, saw another mound of snow, and went back to bed. Just could not deal with it.
Now the coffee is brewing and I can no longer hide...
probably heavy and wet; am amazed our power is still going. Looks like another four or so inches out there; that makes about 14 for
us total. that's a lot for around here...

Well, headed out at 0530 and turned around about a mile or so up Rt 12...
I guess the snow plow trucks are on the interstates....they sure aren't on the secondary roads. Too slick and too risky for a 50 mile run into worse conditions.
I'll try later...
Cleared a path for the dog to do her morning toilet...cup of coffee and I'm going to lay back down for a couple hours.

Since it is Valentine's Day...
VERY BRAVE MAN JOKES
1 -How do you turn a fox into an elephant?
Marry It!
2 -What is the difference between a battery and a woman?
A battery has a positive side.
3 - Why is the space between a woman's breasts and her hips called a waist?
Because you could easily fit another pair of **** in there..
4 - How do you make 5 pounds of fat look good?
Put a nipple on it.
5 - Why do women fake orgasms?
Because they think men care.
6 - What do you say to a woman with 2 black eyes?
Nothing, she's been told twice already.
7 - If your wife keeps coming out of the kitchen to nag at you, what have you done wrong?
Made her chain too long.
8 - Why is a laundromat a really bad place to pick up a woman?
Because a woman who can't even afford a washing machine will probably never be able to support you.
9 - Why do women have smaller feet than men?
It's one of those 'evolutionary things' that allows them to stand closer to the kitchen sink.
10 - Why do men pass gas more than women?
Because women can't shut up long enough to build up the required pressure.
11 - If your dog is barking at the back door and your wife is yelling at the front door, who do you let in first?
The dog, of course. He'll shut up once you let him in.
12 - Scientists have discovered a food that diminishes a woman's sex drive by 90%...
It's called a Wedding Cake.
13 - Why do men die before their wives?
Because they want to.
Send this to a few good men who need a laugh and to the select few women who don't own a gun.

28*F with some fine snow in the air. Too dark to tell yet what is really going on, looks sort of foggy. Weather station in the area reported 11+ inches. That looks about right. I don't think it snowed much after 11pm.
I'll get the tractor out later this morning. The temps are supposed to hang around 30*F most of the day and maybe another inch of snow.
Be careful digging out and on the roads.
