Wow it's March. We will be camping in another month. Just got into Newington. Drove from Norwich to Newington in the snow. It was 27 degrees and no slipping or sliding. Roads wet and some snow covered but drove normal and no problems.

Evening guys.

I got the winter front on last night and it made a big difference today.
My truck actually got up to temp for the first time in about a month.

That's great andy! My car has been taking forever to get up to temp lately, and if I turn on the heat, engine temp goes down significantly, I may need a thermostat.

Good morning guys.
My kids have a 2hr delay.
This way they can get out and help shovel before they go to school.

Morning everyone.

More of that beautiful white powder for us to appreciate over night. Now they are looking at Tuesday to Thursday for more snow.

Andy, I like the cover. Is it easy to get on and off? and secondly where did you get it? Could make a lot of difference next winter. The best part it has a clean look to it.

Well I guess I have to go out and blow the snow off the driveway. My son needs to bough the trailer, so I have to dig it out of the snow then drag it out with 4 wheel drive. Some entertainment.

I just got in from plowing.
Got about 6-7". I am really running out of room to put the stuff.

I got it from Amazon.
It was about $55.
You put 3m stick on snaps to your grill and it just snaps on. It also came with a bug screen.
I am lucky to have an old grill that was scratched up so I just used that one and will put the good one on when the warm weather comes in July !!!
It also has two flaps to open up to let some air in when it is a little warmer.

I hope your son is headed way south to go camping.

Afternoon everyone, had my first day off today in quite awhile. We have to wait for the town's inspector before we can build any further on this chimney.

Morning people.

Roads were dry and clear this morning when I drove my wife into work. It was 16 degrees out there, sad that actually felt warm.

I like the idea of the beat up grill that Andy made into a winter grill. I'll have to keep an eye out to see what's out there at the junk yards and wreaks.

Snow is waist deep in my yard.
I PRAY we don't get a heavy rain anytime soon.

Evening guys.
Looks like I have about 2-3" and now it sounds like it has changed to sleet.

John the winter cover has made a BIG difference in the heat I am getting out of my truck
It is running right at operating temp and running good.
I am also back up to my normal MPG's.

Well I guess winter isn't over yet. At least the temps have gone up a bit. Hope everybody has a decent week despite the weather.
