Here is a couple of pics of my house this morning. All you snowmobilers out there, don't get to excited. :D We've still got another month and a half before the trail groomer goes out.

Nice.

I thought we might have looked that way this morning but it didn't happen. Guess I better get the tractor switched from mowing to plowing. :(

Yea I mowed my lawn on monday night basically in the dark but figure it'll be all she wrote for this year. need to get my 3pt rear blade hooked up now as that is probably all I will need for a few months.

We had a few snow showers yesterday but not even enough to stick on the grass.

No, it's not icicles, it's just the railing. The deck used to be green (stain). The previous owner thought it would look better painted white. I guess he didn't know that your not suppose to put paint on stained wood. It's peeling pretty bad. I was going to totally redo it this year but, I bought a Keystoker K6 instead. I'll probably get it in Dec or Jan. The deck will have to wait til next year.

Freddy, is 37* the coldest it's been down there. It was 17* here on Monday morning. Winter's coming gents!!

I love the cold and the snow. I just prefer watching it from the comfort of my nice warm house. :)
