well it's -30c here in the north.  Glad I have a foam seat in the out house. ::)
I guess I'll stay inside and fill the stove. Maybe do some house work.   AHHH!! winter hibernation time.

So if your waiting for winter, I'm sending it south very soon.
I never met a tree I didn't like!!

Looks like it here to after a real nice fall. Today's high is about -10 with a light skiff of snow blowing around. I wish I was out there splitting wood right now.

Well lets see now.... The ground is covered in this white stuff we call snow  ::) and the temperature is around -15C here with a windchill of about -23C here right now  ::).... yup I do believe it's winter here.  :D  We have 12-15 inches of snow already from last week and they are calling for another 2-4 inches for here overnight then winds tomorrow of  30 km/h with gust up to 50 km/h.  The temps are dropping and with any luck we will get a nice long cold snap before we get too much snow.  Under this snow the ground is just saturated with moisture.  We need about 10 days of -20'sC weather before anything happens in the bush...

I've lived in NB for 43 years and never regretted it. ;D

42 F here this morning.

It rained hard and got dark early yesterday afternoon, I thought it was 5 O'clock. Got home and it was 10 degrees warmer and the sun was showing in the south. ;D

I'm done brush cutting tomorrow for the year and I told the boss snow is coming next week. ;D :D

Winter is on its way here. Today we spent winterizing the farm. Straw stacked on the well, everything put away, the diesel engines all treated, the screens taken down, the heaters put in the water tanks, the horse and donk winter pasture ready, hay rings set out and filled with hay, the portable water tank emptied, etc. I think we are almost ready for the snow to begin!

Too cold here for the beer in the snow.  :-\  But I'm thinking that I had better go get a few bottles of the good stuff out before I have to dig through 6 feet of snow to get to it.  I think I can find a snowbank or five to hide it in when I get it home.  :D  With my luck though I'd get into it before I got home and then I'd forget where I hid it till spring.  ::) :D

Snow tires  eh eh  That's all I run around here year round.  Our weather is so unpredictable and it doesn't seem of much use to change them out for 4 or 5 months of the year.  We drive alot on the gravel too which doesn't seem to tear them up too bad. 

Thinking today that I am going to get out my jewlrey for my truck today.  I am too cheap to fix the four wheel drive system on this old POS.  IMHO the jewlrey does a better job.  ;D  Guess I'll have to go find some green firewood logs for wieght then too. :)

If you guys need more snow you are more than welcome to come and get all you want.  :D  I will take some pics tomorrow to show you people our stash.   ;D  Now if only it would disappear as fast as it came.... where the global warming when you need it.  ::)  My old woolies have air conditioning in them.  Maybe my new ones will be here monday. ;D  Seems they had to grow the sheep to make me a pair.  :o  It's in the -20's C here and I need em.  :'(

About 2" here and the snow plow went with sand yesterday. The neighbor landed in my ditch coming down the hill and turning onto the main road. Into the sauce a little I think.

Snow will be gone here Monday, but probably not today. 20 F right now. ;)

I always attributed it to either the neighbor's dog, or a walk around the corner of the barn to get relief from too much coffee consumption. :D
