It is difficult to walk around in this stuff without getting a ton of snow
dumped down your neck. I be staying inside today also. The wind is
gusting to 30+ mph blowing all the snow around and dumping it off
the branches.

Well, having had to work in that, without the wind, a turtleneck or neck gaitor and full brim hardhat will help keep the snow from going down the neck a bit.

now that the wind has picked up I can't see the farm next door. Nothing but white. I have to go there and buy some fresh butter so my wife can finish baking a birthday cake for my daughter in-law. I am going to decide weather it is easier to just walk over there bundled up like an Eskimo or should I try to blow the drifts out of the driveway and drive over........probably easier and faster to just walk if I don't freeze to death...wind is howling but it is all the way up to 10 degrees...

baby,,,,,, booooooooooohooooooooooo,,, when I was growing up I walked in weather like that everyday to school 5 miles each way up hill

The high temp for tomorrow is forecast to be three degrees ........ Too cold for cutting. So, I will live here and watch you guys

what's a matter, Bleed air switch turned off....tell the co-pilot to preflight while the attendant heats up the coffee and get that spam can in the sky...
sheesh you left seat computer jockeys are all the same....."wheels up in 20min get the fuel logged and the runway instructions your're cleared for 1430 departure"

I'd rather it be a bit cold than 95 degrees with 90% humidity....
But snow is the only problem here...

About 5 degrees F and 20-30mph winds, but brother and I found a nice spot with little wind and cut several small loads of Oak. Cold doesn't bother me much if I can get out of the wind. Echo 600p, Husq 555 and Stihl ms261.

Good you can help me with thisView attachment 403471Traded for it yesterday. It would rip your arm off trying to start it. Took the flywheel off and found a sheared key. New key in place hard to pull but would pop. Started taking it down and it's hard to turn the flywheel by hand. On in to it I find thisView attachment 403472Looks to me that the crank has started to separate and is rubbing the case side. Any ideas on this cold day?

Hard to see the differences on both sides. Have you tried to "square" the crank with a mallet yet? might set the crank back in center ?
