I've got 2 years worth split and stacked in the barn, plenty of water, chow, and ammo. Had surgery this AM (see Chainsaw Elbow thread) so the gal and I are set to weather this one in a warm safe house out here in Hooterville. Forecasters are saying anywhere between 7-15 inches! Close the roads, kill the power, let 'er rip, I don't care, let it snow!
PS
I might be shade low on Copenhagen though.
And typing with one hand is painfully SLOW!

Nah!!
Had to turn 'em loose. They are the last Deer left in this corner of the state.
It seems our DNR and that Horror film reject Grandmole, kinda miscounted our deer herd by a Million or so in favor of the insurance companys and the Beef industry.
Crappy ain't the way to put it, but the auto censor would delete the truth for all the cussing.
Muzzleloading season is a flop as well, even with the Corn finally off.
We all thought they were in the corn... Nope.
Just a completely decimated deer herd after 10 years of unlimited doe tags.
I hope the ####ing "quality deer management" #######s, and insurance jackoffs are happy. They both got what they wanted.
Now if we get a long cold winter it will be back to an early 70's sized herd down here.
Ya really know how to wind a guy up yooper!
I held on half a dozen does and a couple fork horns....
I ain't been buckless since gawd knows when.
Stay safe!

Good luck on the healing!
12" on the ground now, forecasters say another 4" coming. The wind is starting to pick up a bit so it will be drifting soon. High tomorrow of 11 with 35-45 mph wind.
Filled the wood cribs and treated the diesel fuel in the tractor and Bobcat. Parked the Bobcat in the shop tonight so the wood stove will keep it nice and warm until morning when it will be cleaning the driveway. The cat is in the shop, dog is on the porch, wife is in bed and as of yesterday at 5 pm all of the crop is in the bins.
You guys complaining about a lack of deer, how many 'ya want? You can't sling a dead cat in any direction without hitting at least 7 here in Iowa. A friend stopped by today with 5 bucks in his pickup. He and his brother shot them this morning in less than 2 hours. 1 six point, 2 10 point, 1 12 point and a huge 16 point that spans 22 inches. I have one buck tag and one doe tag to fill and will get them as soon as I'm done cleaning up after this storm.

Crap!
Just lost Satelite signal.
Musta finally got here.
tnichols,
wait untill mid morning to run to the Store for the chew. By that time all the Cubicle jockeys and citiots will be done trying to kill themselves.
No need to strain that elbow swerving to miss an idiot stumbling around in the snow.!!
Heal quick! Lotsa ice the first day or so, then some rehab with those mini- beers before going back to 12oz jobbies.
Looks like you'll have lotsa time to study old threads and saw #### here.
This could be bad thing for the CAD.
Stay safe!

It is a condition wherein those afflicted end up acquiring more and more saws.

Lay in a good stock of chow and water, make sure the prescriptions are all filled, check out some good books at the Library, remember where ya put the coleman latern mantles, and settle in.
Let the other fools spas out and go ditch diving.

(And remember to stash enough water to flush the commode

Yep. Grab a good supply of candles as well, and bring some extra wood into the house just in case.(quote)
