It's snowing here big time!

[Northland]

Check out the snow at my house so far today (12" in spots) and it's still snowing hard! Maybe 30" by the time it's done.

It caught me off guard and i didn't have my rear blade or chains on the back tires. I ordered front tire chains last night from tirechain.com.

Fortuntealy the wife has a Subaru w/winter tires so she was able to get out of the driveway and to work.

I fired up the tractor and used my FEL for awhile until I broke down and installed the rear blade. I may end up buying a 3pt snow blower if this keeps up.

I'm guessing that will be the storm that hits us here Sun / Mon ! I hope not, as i have parts on order at the Kubota dealer to repair my snowblower, and they won't be in till the end of next week. I sure hate the thought of going back to shoveling !!

I really dislike snow, keep it up there Northland. They are calling for some here on Sunday, also ice and freezing rain!!!

Ho, ho, ho....dashing through the snow!

Syracuse, to the East, set to get hit this weekend. To the west, Buffalo much the same. Fortunately, in a little niche that seldom gets hit hard...but can't bank on it.

Frankly the snow doesn't bother me nearly as much as the winter heating bills. Got enough wood to get one house through the winter, but the other's strictly oil. Global Warming?....Bring it ON!

The planting is easy, the growing may be more difficult.

I don't mind the snow the least little bit, what bugs me the most is when it comes and the ground isn't froze, so plowing is usually snow along with any ground cover that comes along for the ride. Shoes on a plow help somewhat, but if the ground is wet and soft they just dig in and are useless. You guys can have your warm climates all year round, if it gets that warm up here I'll move farther north.
