Vermont February 2025 BS - Love is in the air for snow but will mother nature be kind

Good morning Vermont and FTE land. Have a trouble free day. Yesterday was cold at -13F start and got up to around 12F for the high. Feels warm this morning at 19F. Hope January was good to you and may February be better. Remember the overly commercialized Valentines day coming up. Hopefully you saved enough to spend on it.

Good sweaty afternoon woodchucks. Glad you made it back from the spa Jim. I was getting ready to start a new BS thread if you didn't show up soon.

85 here right now and a bit muggy. We re also in a moderate drought in SW Florida. Several large cities south of us are rationing water. Cape Coral is so overbuilt they can't pump enough water out of the ground for all the development they have allowed. And their city council just authorized 5000 new homes on 100 acres! Crazy! Glad we are out in the country with orange groves and cattle ranches. Little development here.

Have a great rest of the day.

good morning Shawn. Sounds like you are living in a spa. You can keep it. Too money driven and no common sense

Good afternoon woodchucks. 4 miles done, weight work done. We hit 90 on the way back from the gym yesterday. Should be about the same today. Good way to sweat off a few pounds and get ready for the superbowl crap food.

Getting a dumping of snow today, get those plows and snow blowers ready. Had a proud Ford moment pulling out the same Chevy plow truck 2 days in a row now. Guy just doesn't know how to keep the truck on his driveway and out of the ditch

Good morning Vermont and FTE land. Have a thongtastic thirsty Thursday. Snowstorm of the century to start in a couple of hours. 2-4" with possible a little freezing drizzle. Looks like most schools are closed already before it even gets cloudy. Maybe I went to the wrong schools growing up but it took a major ice storm or actual big snowstorm to get school cancelled, and it was usually already happening when it did get cancelled.

good morning Brad. Need some bragging pictures Where is this guy from, RI? We haven't even gotten really a snowstorm yet and he can't handle plowing and inch or two?

Good morning woodchucks. Headed to high 80's again today. No sure what else to say. Florida is boring, hot, muggy and in a moderate drought.

Have a great day. Don't forget to start stocking up on crap food for the superbowl - not that I care bout the game. It has turned into too much of a money driven spectacle for me.

I should have snapped some video clips. Been living there for 17 years! Turns out hes a Bethel plow driver, maybe he keeps tandem axles on the road better
