One last cup of coffee before l head to work.

Good morning y’all. Cutting wood at my place and taking it to moms today. I’ll be carrying a lot inside so I don’t have to dig it out of the snow. This discussion about the smell of sassafras reminds me of root beer Iris. My mom always had Iris of many colors and the brown one truly smelled like root beer. Be safe!

Good morning folks. The only hot things around here are the wood stove and some strong coffee this morning.

Seems we've already had our high temp for today.

Hopefully where your at it will be a bit warmer. Definitely inside project days for us for the next few days.

At least it is rather sunny this morning.

 

[nbbt]

I'd rather have the snow with a bit warmer temps, then it would be riding sled time. Maybe when it swings warn in a couple of days.

3 goats down straight away this morning, from the blind. That’s 9 from this blind this year. Best $110 I have spent in a long time.



And as a bonus, my sons cousin showed up & gutted the stinking things so I didn’t have to do it.

Walked another 3 miles & didn’t see a darn thing. Very pleasant out now, not much breeze & about 30*.

Try again after dinner.

Got an extra tractor I can borrow? lol

always!

 

[Only the Tony]

About as ready as I can be I guess. Got a magnetic block heater as well that I will hook up tomorrow night.

Morning all, 24° and watching the temp drop. Looks like getting colder this morning then going up a little around noon and then going south after that. Single digit highs for the weekend. Keep warm today, going to take a bit of wood over the next couple of weeks. Extended forecast saying not above freezing until Feb. 2 possibly, but with the way the guessers have been on this front it's all up in the air.

Went to Walmart last night to get stuff for stew. No onions, no carrots, no celery, no potatoes, no cornbread, no eggs, no cottage cheese. Those were just the things I was looking for. People everywhere!

Oldest works at the local Walmart. She said people were already acting crazy. Wife always does a morning pickup for her grocery run but couldn't get in until 3 today if she wanted to do that. Dollar General's were packed as well I noticed on the way home. Not supposed to hit until about 4 this afternoon, strangely I'm not too worried about being out except for the cold. Been out in this stuff so many time for work that unless it turns to ice it's no big deal. I will sneak my buddy heater into the truck when the roads get a bit iffy in case I get stuck and need to keep warm. Probably a no-no but it's not like management will be bothered to get out of the office on days like this.

What snowfall totals are you forecast to get?

 

[Workshop]

Morning everybody.

 

[Workshop]

What snowfall totals are you forecast to get?

They’re estimating 12-18 inches.
It’s about time for a good dumper of snow. We’re about 2 years overdue.

 

[Workshop]

I remember one dumper we had got about 12 inches. At the time wife was driving an old 67 dodge dart with a 6 cylinder automatic. Front bumper was skimming the snow. She went everywhere in that thing in that snow. No snow tires. It was unstoppable.

 

[Only the Tony]

What snowfall totals are you forecast to get?

Not enough or too much. The forecast has changed so much I almost stopped paying attention to it. Anywhere from 4" to 16" depending on which guesser is saying it. With the minimal forecast it may only be 5". I need to write down the guesser who in '72, before my time, completely missed a 36" storm.

Yellow pine makes decent lumber, not the best but generally pretty useable.

The price was right.......a couple hours of enjoyable work, in exchange for a nice little stack of logs.

Milling pine…
So forgiving and smells like victory..

They’d make a month long weather dork orgy out of a storm like that today.
