A lot of the snow has melted in the last 2 days, but the wires and trees are still blocking roads and on houses.
Today is the first day I was able to get cell phone and internet service, good thing for the land line we have as it came in handy.

Take cover; I heard a radio report that the East coast is getting hammered again today. I was thinking of you while he was talking about a perfect Nor' Easter.

Just looked at the report for Watertown CT, 8"-12" glad I moved south.

I was wondering if you had power yet. Sucks having to run generators.

We had an ice storm here in the 90's. We didn't have power for like a week. We had a big PTO generator (mine now, lol) that we used on the farm. Had to hook it up to the house, but in the morning when we went out to feed hogs (we had like 1500 head) we had to take the tractor and gen set down to the barns to grind feed, then disconnect, and take it back up to the house. E.V.E.R.Y.D.A.Y for a week. (Power was two different meter loops.) It SUCKED. Nice thing was, the gen set is huge, so it was like the power was still on. I could run the welder in the shop, while grandma ran pretty much anything she wanted in the house.

It was dang near 80 for a week, 2-3 weeks ago. Now forecasters are calling for a trace to 2" of snow tomorrow? That's OK, mybe it will slow things down--grass needs cutting AGAIN.

Well I almost made it through the winter without plowing, almost. Just enough to be a PITA and it was wet enough that it would have frozen solid tonight. And it was in the 80's a couple weeks ago.

You keep getting it because you keep complaining about it.

I don't need any more snow either.

He makes me laugh. Could have easily moved much further south and never seen or worried about another flake. I don’t think he’s ever said why he picked cold and snowy Virginia, maybe lost a bet or something.

Sam is actually in the "hills" of Virginia. Ever see the TV show Moonshiners, its filmed in that area. So Sam, how much more HP do you get running straight ethanol in a cyclops?
