Your right Brent when the winds blowing it around its folly to plow the lane, the snow just blows in to the top of the bankings.Frank C.
ive been unemployed since june and i miss working. but its days like this that i would be headed to boston and i dont miss that.

I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop up here. We have enough snow for the skiers and the snowmobilers but other than clearing the end of the driveway I have let the first snows pack down. It can't last and before long it will probably be the opposite, clear the driveway every day or two. Hunkering down is always a good idea if you can. Being self employed I can generally shift jobs to other days except for emergencies. Last year I drove through more than one blizzard and at least one section of freezing rain for jobs that couldn't wait but I prefer to watch the bad weather from inside my house only going out to load the outdoor furnace. You guys on the eastern seaboard try to stay safe and better still stay home.
15 F, really windy, drifts on average 2-3 feet. One five footer against the barn door :-\ still snowing and blowing. The yard is dug out enough to feed the cows. Will have to go out again later I'm sure.
Good luck and God speed to all of ya' in the storms path! Wish I culd help but by the time I get there everything would be thawed out! ;)
TurboMan,,
Ya can get started up this way cause it don't thaw out up here till the end of April... ;D
It's cleared off nice and blue. Just a steady gale-force wind and 15 F. :D
Watching the radar for this area there's a "band" of snow that just doesn't want to move further NE.. It's seems like it hit a wall and is just "bouncing" .. Must be a bunch of snow on the other side of it ??? ??? Up in these parts we call snow "White Gold" 8) I say bring it on !!!!!!!!!

Ain't enough snow here to snow mobile or ski unless it looks a lot different by morning.
I wouldn't call conditions good in my immediate area for a snowmobile but you can go. Today I came by a groomed trail where the groomer had come out on the pavement and run for about a quarter mile leaving mud the whole way. It has been cold but I guess the warm mud runs deep.
If you were a snowmobiler, you'd be pretty DanG happy around here right now.
Getting a little tired of about a week and a half of wind here. Don't mind the snow, and single digits are expected this time of year, but for two days now the house has been sounding like an old ship heeling in the gusts. Windows creaking, the stovepipe is wailing. Kinda gets on your nerves. The snowblower was fun on our 600 foot path through the woods with the wind backing around all points. I'd Just get that chute facing downwind when wham, back up in your face. I think I had more snow down my jacket than I got into the banks :D .
Supposed to be in the mid forties New Years, so we'll be looking forward to 2011.
18F and cloudy, no moon or stars to be seen. Hardly any wind either!
We seem to have missed all the snow from the storm. We have had about 3" max on the ground for about a week now.
I just got in from splitting wood, been out there since 8pm. I set up two floodlights around the splitter and split all the rounds I cut earlier today 8) Not sure why but I love splitting wood at night in the winter.
ended up with about 14" of new snow yipee !! 12 degrees this morning wind chill of 1
you feeding your snow blower steroids pappy? i was up that way a few years ago seemed like you had 12 foot snow banks
Brent
He's only got 4" up there and like me with this wind, it's mighty dry sledding. The ground is about bear again, the wind took it to the woods. ;D :D :D
what woods ? theres only potatoe fields up there. where do you guys grow the instant potatoes anyway? you and pappy push the snow across the river when the other isnt looking?
Across the river at the processing plant, also another place in town doing them. Yeah, anything that don't make good field is about all that is woods. ;D
laffs,
I live over on Rt#11 where there's alot more woods than fields and we can actually see the forest for the trees ;D.. Not much for potato farmers 'round these parts anymore..
Donk lives in an area where there's much more open area... and he's also on "this " side of the river ;)
Donk we only got the 4" you say but it's on top of the 5 or 6 we already had.. But the snow blew it all over to your side of the " line " though :D Seems like it didn't stop in your area either ::)
My dear ole Dad used to say " da wind blew and the $hlt flew and we couldn't see for a day or two" man o man the wind has been a blowing !! :o
Hard tellin' how much snow we got in Deering, NH the wind really moved it around. Plowing wasn't too bad but shoveling the walk with that wind was nasty. Spent Monday hiding in the barn next to the barrel stove working on a wooden strip canoe. I am building it out of salvaged red cedar from telephone poles just from the edges off the edger. Mostly for fun and to show the kids not all wood project are square.
I didn't know they used red cedar for poles. I know they used white cedar up here, I know one that has been planted up by the bridge to the woodlot since the 40's. Most of the others the power company cut because of liability. They still had old wires strung and one landed on dad's potato truck and ripped the mirror off. They wouldn't come good. You hit one of their dang poles and you get a nice fat bill. :-X >:(
