I guess it had to happen

Weatherman claiming any minute now. Hulk sad.
Not a good time to have a pinched nerve in back, walking on slippery stuff. Walking is painful enough. Still trying to get my work done, not going so well.
My youngest drove 20 miles to work, hope she gets home before it gets crappy. Zero winter driving experience.
Just looking outside-raindrops are slowing down and looking a little less runny. Like slush falling. Bad for power lines.

I am in southern west Virginia and it was sunny and 70 today has been for the last few days. I know we are on borrowed time right now not looking forward to the white stuff flying.

Well, it did almost hit freezing last night...
However it's a balmy 70° outside right now. Don't think we'll be seeing any of that whitish stuff this year, maybe a ton of rain... (I hope!)

Pouring down rain and a balmy 68. Calling for 2 to 3 inches of rain tonight. I think the drought is officially over

BX2360, FEL, MMM, BX2750D snowblower. 1953 Minneapolis Moline ZAU
We were white a couple weeks ago for a bit in the morning.
73 today.
NOAA says warmer in the east, and wetter in the west this winter. Hope they're right. Last couple been tough!!
Chains are on, the snowblower is ready to go on after the FEL comes off - hopefully that happens sometime in February

No snow here yet. Has been getting cool at night with it in the hi 30's to low 40'. Had to order the proper chimney brush to clean the chimney. Need a 12x16" brush. Which of course no one in town has one. Been using an 8" brush but it's not working very well. Got sick of fighting it. I did get the wood rack filled up, and the fireplace insert cleaned out.
Now I'm hunting for a spark arrestor for the chimney. Chimney is a smooth top, with nothing to clamp the normal store bought spark arrestors too. The current one slips down into the top of the chimney and is rusted out. So, I have a bunch of rust splatters down the side of the house and on the shingles. May have to drill and tap con some pieces of 1/4" angle iron or square stock to the top of the chimney to make a standard one work Then I can clean the roof and siding with some clr.

I usually end up hitting mine the last time around mid December to xmasGood lord the middle of November and Im out freekin cuttin grass
The Bermuda grass is taking over the walkway again, so I'll have to weed eat this weekend. Might get around to cutting it again as well. Haven't had to touch the yard for 8 weeks. But some stuff is starting to get unruly. Plus it's about time to chop leaves. Bota is starting to feel neglected
Usually i have plow on by now, like river should be starting to freeze over. This is way away from normal. Plants flowering. Very unusual.
Saving in heating expenses. Thats a bonus. Today it goes from above freezing to minus double digits and rain turning to snow. 50 mph wind so sideways snow.

Be safe corney, its heading this way. Should see it starting tonight or tomorrow. Guess i should test run genset and fill up my truck.
Power did go out for about 4 hours, I was debating getting my genset going.
Fuel in the truck would have been a great idea as well, cause the power was out at the local station. I don't like travelling on crappy highways without a full tank.
I live about a half hour from the city so I have to commute beveryday.

Reminds me of a joke I read over a urinal in Lloydminster.
Why is Saskatcewan so windy?
Cause Edmonton blows and Winnipeg sucks!
