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. :lol:
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... :D
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... :lol:
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! :D 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.
