Every day that passes recently I have been thinking to myself "should I hook up the snow blower and the plow?"...I think this week is the week.  As much as I don't want to admit it, winter is coming.

At first, for some reason, I thought you were in FLA!

:eek:

But then realized it is IN.

They say it is headed to us next, so far they got the rain right. Saying 2-4 snow tomorrow. not enough to get excited.

I was in Florida until we came back home 3 years ago. 

 

That's the system snow heading your way. It missed us but the north winds behind it are bringing lake effect snow off Lake Michigan. :)

After living in Florida all these years, I'm surprised we don't have a video of Bob cleaning off all of the snow on his sidewalk.  :occasion-xmas:

I just filed my anti-snow insurance policy.  I'm warming numb fingers from waking up the little 2 stroke Toro paddle type snow thrower from a 5 year snooze.

 

Pulled the bowl off of the carb and sprayed carb cleaner through the main jet.  Three or five pulls later, it was running.  Smoked like a chimney for the first minute or so.  The new fuel has been dosed with Sea Foam along with the 2 stroke oil, so I should be ready for snow - if it gets here.

Rain here. 

We've had a bunch of hard frost starting around October 1st. 

We've seen light snow too but no accumulation below 2000 ft. 

 

S'pose it's time I put the chains on the Cinnamon Horse.

We are 2 hours(?) north of Bob and never received a drop of snow.  That’s ok, I am not ready for it yet.  I haven’t sold the snowblower I picked up for free a few weeks ago, maybe I should keep that until I get my plow truck going!

No sense in more pics Eric. A picture this morning would look just the same. They were still predicting it as of the 11:00 report last night. Didn't happen. Dang fickle lake effect. No playtime for me. :(

Nancy takes care of the sidewalks. Obviously she's slacking off. :rolleyes:

Oh yea. Bob wears socks. Usually two pair and insulated boots. Gotta keep the tootsies warm. :)

I went in at 4am to plow and it wasn't as bad where I work compared to home but it started coming down after I got there. Needless to say ,they canceled school so we finished up and went home at 8. I got home and looked we got a foot. Fired up the clone powered B-80 and got it done. Ive had my fun for the day.

Here it begin‘s to snow at 11:00 local time, but just few flakes..

My collegues begin all to laugh when they see my reaction about the Snow..🤪 - dunno why.. 😎

 

It stops at 15:00 but not much, just a little powder that‘s it..

Still hope i get my rims quick back finalized.

The 212 is still sitting with the Plow in the Shed on Pole position..

Forgive my ignorance but is that a regular occasion down there?

 

As you can imagine we've been getting Frost fairly steadily for about two months now.
