Hey Clint, come on down, you can take what you want without charge.
Snowed heavy from mid morning and still coming down.  Expect the storm to move off by 10 PM leaving behind upward to 1 1/2-2'.
Another blast might be headed my way next Monday. 

The weather forcasters really missed it on this one,they predicted 12+ " but I got about 5".NOt complaining as I HATE snow and winter in general.Looks like I'll have a clear road on my trip to Ohio on Saterday

5+" of new snow to be dropped shipped on my front step sometime between this evening and tomorrow afternoon. I don't mind the snow as I truly enjoy the change in seasons. So you can imagine how excited I will be IF this stupid winter season, EVER changes to SPRING!!!

Got just enough snow to be annoying. Did get cold enough to keep the white stuff from becoming wet and heavy so the chore of manual snow removal wasn't so difficult for the wife. 😜




 

And this is a conundrum they dropped the water to 750, I had plans tomorrow but..........
 

I decided to run errands and tap a few sugar maples today.

Here it comes again.... stupid Groundhog!!!!
 
 
 

Saw a blue bird and a groundhog yesterday. Not sure if it was Phil, Gus, or some imposter.

If anybody muup north of me is wondering why they haven't seen any RedWingBlackbirds as of yet it's because, they won't leave my bird feeders.  Them suckers can put away the sunflower seed, I mean to tell yinz.  Each of my feeders hold 2+ pounds of seed and and have lasted better then a week with each filling.  Not no more, maybe 3 days at best and I'm refilling.  Spring dam sure soon arrive, we have about 25 lbs of seed and then the fat lady sings.   That will put the end to 400 pounds of sunflower seed this season and I can not wait to see the size of the sunflowers growing from my neighbors crop field this year.  Last year the flowers were humongus growing amongst his winter wheat.  ooops

A compadre of mine sent me several texts from the Juniata River where he was making his inaugural trip fir the season. It was snowing like all get out, the water was 39 degrees, and he caught a dozen smallmouths with the biggest one being 18 inches. Spring is in the air.

Send some my way, I'm ready !!
The tv , which I happened to watch this evening, is really hyping up this storm as " the BIG one ".
I'm just not seeing it as much more than hype.
I'm ready for gardening and stripers since the duldrom month is setting in hard. At least I will wet a line and walk some water in a few days to curb my cabin fever. I start to get lazy if I sit to long.

In a sad note , I attended a funeral today of a cousin the same age as myself , 52. Not really what's supposed to happen. He was laid to rest in the ground on his own property in a hand made wooden casket. He loved the outdoors and loved wood so he is at peace.

Sorry to hear HT, definitely too young.... but I do like the idea of him resting on his own land in a way he would like.  

27 degrees with winds from the north at 10 mph gusting to the mid teens dropping the wind chills into low single digits.

The Ides of March are truly upon us and yet not past. Which means Spring should and dang well better arrive next week. Or I'm gonna start hollering and stomping my feet.😡

i'm just going to shoot every ground hog I see

If you don't fence your raised beds in, you'll keep trying to rid those rodents.
First 2 years without fencing, I took out 9 and they kept coming back .

Aside from the MUD, I'm ok with this weather . Yea it's been snowing more in 3 weeks than 3 months but at least it's not raining. Spring rains mean chocolate water.
I rarely check the next days weather unless I'm in a watercraft . I have to deal with the hand that's dealt

Clint, when you say another foot. What's on the ground total. Snowpack. We got probably 3 feet in 3 weeks but there is less then 6" to traverse through unless it's wooded and shaded.
Thanks
