Good Morning All from the " Land of The First Sun!", America's Home Town. Plymouth. MA! Also the Land of Taxes and Liberalism! Winds died down and suns just starting to shine. Wind chill about 20!
Got a load of white oak yesterday and had to bundle up, what with the wind. Used the 262 and was in and out in about 45 min! Looks to be a good one shaping up!
You all take care and be safe!!

Good morning to all of you and good afternoon to me.  We are almost 10 hrs. ahead in Afghanistan (East coast time).  You guys "sitting in the woods" makes me miss hunting in northern Michigan.  Good luck to those that are and hope you are not doing too much "sitting" and more dragging/gutting.

Good morning all from chilly NH.  Temps in upper teens with a 20 plus north wind with gusts expected in the upper 30's to 40's.  We had a couple of snow squalls come through last evening.  Made everything slick but a pretty white color did nice of job covering over the drab brown color.  Heading out to stoke up the OWB, get ready for church and when I get back, staying inside where it's nice and cozy warm.  Have a great all!  Roger

Good morning all!
About 40 degrees here at The Beach, with scattered rain showers. May have a bit of sleet mixed in at times. Looks like all the ice, snow, and freezing rain will be west and north of here. Getting snow and freezing rain at the cabin right now. I'm sure the roads up in the mountains will be treacherous.

Good Late Morning All! Cold in the 20's but the wind makes it rough! WC about 10 from the NW.
Got wood in,animals fed, wife and I. Taking a break and then ? cut up some aged oak I have out on the hill! Next three hours only real working weather. Makes for  short day!! have to hustle, but got the chimney cleaned yesterday so feel relieved at that! Heat 100% with wood! Furnace has been shut off for years. NStar told the wife she has the lowest bill in town. Have piped in gas for the stove and hot water and bill was only $148 total all last winter! But use Amway cook ware ( like pressure cooker) and submarine nosle on shower!  :laugh:
Stay warm and safe!! Later....

Animals are fed, and the wild turkeys, and us. Woods in for the day. waiting for it to warm up some so I can go out and split some aged oak, by hand! One of my favorite things to do!! Why I'm probably still alive and most of my peers aren't!
You all stay warm. Weather coming. No big deal!! Aloha....

Good day, woke up in the city today to -12 blowing snow, a real noreaster, we live at the west end of Lake Ontario and these storms just pummel us.
Up at the cabin over 40" of snow in 2 days and -25C this morning. My son reports battery dead in the bobcat, the real cold tells you when its time for a new battery.

Good Morning All!! Cold here too! 10 with no wind and cloudy now. Waitin' on the snow. After checking out NOAA National Radar don't know where they're getting the prediction of 6''s of snow! Right now it's a small system! Maybe they're figuring on this getting cranked up from the moisture from the ocean? Whatever... it will be mostly gone from the warmer temps and rain end of the week!
Stay warm and safe! Later.... Aloha!

Merry Christmas everyone. I just happened across this thread, and I thought I would chime in. Good Evening, 2250, mostly cloudy, 46* with 85% humidity. Forecast low of 44*. We had a pretty good Christmas here on the Larro Ranchero. Ate way too much, took a nap, then did it again. But tomorrow is another day, and I'll try hard to get back on the straight and narrow.

Hope everyone had a great day.

Good morning all, -11C this morning and clear. Most of the power is back on in Toronto, 300,000 people were with out. The last people will be back on today. The warm weather the last 2 days saved them a lot more work with all the ice gone.
The calls are coming in from people as they start to think about what they are going to do with all the downed trees. 8)
