Thanks for the reminder of an old saying Welcome to Nebraska, Iowa's Snow Fence

That old saying is sure coming true this year.

Thanks CRG, I will be careful, its the other idiots out there that I have to watch out for.

We are under a Winter Storm Warning from 6pm tonight until midnight tomorrow night. 6-10 inches of snow, High winds and Something about sub-zero cold. Like that is something new!!


Similar Warning here.  We're in the 6-8" range.  Just a couple degrees warmer than 10.5.  Same d*mn 35MPH wind gusts.

If the close schools tomorrow, I'm staying home (nothing I do is worth risking it out on a 30 mile commute to the office) and playing with my new Traeger!   Better start thawing some critter out - just in case.

Now that sounds like a good plan.

Yea it does.

If this storm is anything like the storm me had christmas day I wont be goin anywhere for around 3 days. Thats how long it took to get the roads opened up out by me. Glad I got the propane tank filled the other day.

Well I'm off into the great white tundra.  :D

All I wanted to do was slow smoke some ribs.  Another addiction created thanks to the Bradley that requires regular servicing...  But what an addiction to have.  Even better to share here with some of the best people on the planet.

Would you like smoke with that sir ?

we have about 2 feet on the ground here so far. 2 winters ago we had over 14 feet the entire winter. Missed the all time record (winter of 71) by 6 inches.
Here I am with the snow blower in Feb 2008. I am 6'1" and the snow is higher than me. We got over 3 more feet in March after that.
With my Bradley, no one tells me to quit smoking!

Where in the world is that ?
I might have to move if you have ski hills

I'm in Ottawa,ON.  We have a ski hill in the Gatineaus within 15 minutes of downtown. 2 hour drive to Tremblant. 3 hours to Whiteface in Lake Placid.

Huh My best buddy lives in Ottawa to. He down plays the snow there but I still laugh at him even though I wish we would get more of it here. I actually liked living in Prince George.
I like to walk threw life on the path of least resistance. But sometimes the path needs a good kick in the ass.

Look how clean the streets are!

I wished they cleaned them like that here.

OU....look at the right hand side of the street. Looks like a curb!  :o

Unfortunately, it didn't pan out.  They closed all the area schools but the ones here in Springfield, (including MrsC's)  So I came on in - just in case she has trouble out on the road getting here/home.

Looooonnngggg drive in.

For some reason they closed the schools here as well. I should go upstairs and take a look outside just to see how much snow we actually did get over night.

That curb on the right is my driveway. I am clearing the bank in front of my house. We have a good group of neighbors who all help each other with the snow clearing so the street alway looks better in front of our houses than the rest of the city.
