Winter 2012

We're ready after today. Just hauled 4 tons of nut in the basement with the wifey. She's on vacation, so I have a helper for a week.

I notice it's cooling off MUCH earlier than normal this year. That tells me it's more than likely gonna be a long, cold one. Already have had several nights in the low to upper 40's. Way too early for this crap! Leaves are also turning a few weeks ahead of schedule as well. Lots of them already coming down before they turn! My pear tree has been nearly bare for 2 weeks now.



Lots o hickory nuts this year!

It just snowed here last night for the first time - I think its gonna stick! I'm about a day or two away from finishing my Jotul 507 install. Can't wait to get the old girl back in service!

Haven't seen any wooly bear caterpillars this year at all. Maybe in a few weeks. Seen a lot of black crickets getting inside lately; saw a lot of stick bugs this summer. The stink bugs haven't been too bad at all this year.
I'm just goin by the many rainstorms we've had this year; if that continues into the winter will there be as many snowstorms.

All of that is just legends, but the one that is totally true is; if I get a plow truck it won't snow at all in NJ

if I get a plow truck it won't snow at all in NJ

Relax - snow free winter coming up as I spent $1800 on tires on the AC190 in order to plow out better. I did this so that the North East can be totally snow free and you guys can thank me later.
