Good morning!! Just very light snow here so far.

Good morning Eric!! If the bolts and everything look good I would just go ahead and reuse them.

Good morning Jake! No shoveling here as my shovel is on the front of my tractor lifts and piles it in one motion! LOL

Thanks Mike (and Troy). I may do that. On the other hand, I'd hate to have it all apart and then decide I need to run to the auto parts/hardware store. I'm quite a bit outside of town. Not to mention the stores around me have limited hours on weekends.

Good Morning all!

No snow yet, but they say it's slowed down some, and we may get more...

What do you guys have for temps today? The "truck shovel" is easier on your back...depending of if your doctor is a Ford guy, it might even be DOCTOR RECOMMENDED!

That's always a good thing too! What kind of tractor do you have?

It's around 25 here right now.
I'd say it is definitely doctor recommended.

Not a flake here yet, I think all these weather guessers are blowing smoke up our A**es!!

Hey guys!

Not much here, just a few flakes. It is a bit breezy. I don't expect much for snow cause we live on a hill and it all blows right past.

Well I did accomplish getting the X-mas lights down today! Wheew, I think its time for a break. lol

Looks like 11 was right on on this one, dusting to 20". They are bound to be right with a guess like that

Yep, so far Accuweather has gone from 9.7" to 3.7" and I bet it will drop before tonight.

It's ridiculous. They put a lot of people in businesses into modes for a snowstorm like this. How can they be so wrong in the morning of the supposed storm???

Just a joke...
