We Need Some Snow!!

We should have about 20 inchs of snow so far this year (i live in minnesota) and we only have gotten .5.....which really sucks!

I would love to take my new f-150 out to my unlces farm which is 15 arces and play in the fields and snow,but with no snow I guess I will have to wait some more. Hopefully we will get some for chirstmas.

Good deal!!! Florida is not supposed to have snow! We did have a couple of flurries in Orlando last month, for the first time in 14 years. Man, it was terrible! Although, I sure it made the tourist from up north, and the snowbirds (I wish they would get the avian flu!) feel right at home.

Yup, usually I'm running my skidoo right about now. We don't have any at all which hasn't happened in a few years. Sucks!

With three 4x4s and a old wheelhorse with a plow we may never see snow again around here.

I had this crazy idea this summer that I just had to have a new truck and a new plow this year.

It never fails, I should have just fixed up the front end on my old truck.

I have an idea, I will take my plow and put it in storage at my shop in Wisconsin this week guys and we will get some snow for sure by Friday.

It would sure be nice to get some of the white stuff. I would settle for freezing rain at least we could make some cash salting.
