I just finished plowing. Why, I don't know ... as it's still coming down. We've got from 18" to over 2 feet in drifts around my yard ... and it's still coming down. Did just get a little lighter out there though.

The snow is falling like mad 13"-14" in seven hours.
The temp is up to 33.8*F.... It's not going to be fun moving this stuff.
North East wind 25-35 mph.

Wow you guys are warmer than we are -- I forgot your on the coast. Looks like the very tip of the Cape got mostly rain down here ... but move inland & it gets deep quick.
We're at 22°. Started out at 28° and it steadily dropped every hour as the snow piled up.

Started to snow about 1 pm...
Not much on the ground yet...
Most of The Cape was rain...
The Ice will be bad as the temps are dropping...
Plenty of Coal ash to throw down...
Went to a customer's house Monday...
Driveway is on a hill and customers cars were parked on the flat spot...
Came out 1.5 hours later and something did not look right...
My truck had slid down the driveway 50 feet...
Still in the middle of the drive just like someone had parked it there...

Lost the internet yesterday; somebody just fixed it for us. The internet did not miss me.
I was up late eating pringles with Tabasco sauce-- Tabasco sauce, one of the great things in life.
To my surprise the landlord's unreliable landscapers came this morning and plowed the driveway and shovelled the walks. I slept right through it with earplugs in. After ten years of urban living I still like to sleep with ear plugs in sometimes. Last storm I did everything with the snowblower. This was a relief; I guess the landscapers really wanted the work this time.
Smitty your pic cracked me up. Maybe you could do weapons research for the Army! How come you weren't arrested and imprisoned in Massachussetts for operating a smoking vehicle

Not much difference in design though, especially since this one has been fitted with the extended coil flange. I have the boiler and base sealed, and will probably start some plumbing tonight. The clock is ticking. I need to get it fired before I need another fuel oil delivery.
