Oooohhhhhhh, the weather ouside is......?

Yup, been snowing here since before 8am. Started with the big fat flakes that get you instantly wet. Two hours later and the flakes are getting smaller and it looks like it's falling faster. The grass has about an inch of snow. Not sticking to the roads at all....yet. Boy am I glad I got all the racks at the house filled up yesterday. Gator is backed into the garage with a bed full of splits.

Just sitting out in the sun room with a cup of coffee watching the birds go nuts at the feeder. Sure is a warm fuzzy feeling when you know you prepared.

we got about an inch here too. started around 6am with fine flakes falling fast (say that three times fast) then changed to big flakes falling slow.

Raining as usual here. I had to laugh as i just Tossed another 15 pound chunk of red oak heartwood into the stove. I could clearly see the mark that my wedge had made in the wood& bounced out before i had just chopped it into stove sized chunks with the MS390.. I learned a long time ago that an efficient maul splitter never engages in a wedge fight with firewood. You just saw up the unsplittable stuff.

It is snowing to beat the band.

BTW, what does that really mean? "Beat the Band?"

We had a mini hail storm for a couple of minutes yesterday but nothing other than that. Hail was half the size of a ladybug and came down furiously, covered the ground, and then quit and melted away. Weird

Just started snowing here in Orange County NY, was out this morning putting tarps on the rest of my stacks, loading garage with wood and gasing and firing up my new Husky snowblower, now I'll go out and try to buck some logs before the snow builds up.

Like usual we got threatened with snow 2-5 inches and got yup nada. Now we get 60mph wind today. Any extra snow send it my way please.

To beat the band originally meant that you sang or played or shouted louder than the band(not an easy thing to do!). So it has come to mean anything exceptional or big.

Just cloudy here at the west end of Lake Erie...

 

[audible fart]

Not even raining here anymore. Just breezy.

Thanks, Stumpy.

Not snowing to Beat the Band anymore, but still coming down with a purpose.

And to think how all my neighbors in New Jersey laughed @ me when I told them I was moving to Canada. "Why would you want to move up there, all is does is snow all the time......................."

 

[Jaberwky]

Pretty awesome actually

NE North Dakota/NW Minnesota (border communities) - high 40s and low 50s this weekend. Mostly sunny, relatively calm winds, no real precipitation in a very long time. I'm sitting in a stupid waterpark with my kids for a birthday party and wishing I would be outside cutting. We are very lucky to have such good weather.

 

[jcl]

[thenorth]
