The only reason our fuel is cheaper is because that if it wasn't that low, the people around could not afford it and would probably walk...this is an exaggeration. Cheap gas and beautiful cars! Haaa what a joke.

Good morning everyone, clouds and -3 this morning and a whole bunch of snow last night like 5 cm. After breakfast I will probably go out and clean what the plow left at the end of the driveway. Should start preparing the bathroom for paint maybe today or so.
Have a great day everybody!

Good morning, -1 and snowing. We only have 2-3 inches but just north of here (1/2 hour) at my moms theres well over a foot. More snow until Thursday, the tulips and crocuses are pushing their way through which is a good sign. Headers are installed and all the stuff I had to remove, steering etc are reinstalled so just need to get the pipes and mufflers cut and welded up( I don`t weld) and thats done.
Have a great day

Just came in from outside and is the wind ever blowing now, like in the open...at the end of the driveway. It must have been still asleep earlier.

Spent 7 hours at the emergency room. Y ray show no broken bones. Got a prescription for pain killers. Haven't taken them yet, will see. Feeling a bit better this morning.

Viewing "Vanishing point" on tv. Cold and windy, can't do much...

by **smoken340** Mon Feb 06, 2017 2:21 pm

Good day all. Great to hear that it's not serious Phil. We are supposed to get freezing rain starting tonight and last all day tomorrow.

by JGL Mon Feb 06, 2017 3:48 pm

Oh oh, that sounds like power troubles maybe.

Will buy gaz for the generator tomorrow, could use it.

And snowing pretty hard again. Had 50 cm this morning and should have between 60 and 70 by morning.
JGL, I am only 10 min from the boarder and with the Canadian Peso it is not worth going across to fill up the little piss pot daily drivers. Phil, you are lucky so go buy a lottery ticket.

by JGL Tue Feb 07, 2017 4:26 am

Good morning everybody, another cold but sunny morning at -17. Wind chill is probably-27 or more at the airport but over here the branches are not moving so it is not much more than -17. Appointment at the dentist later this AM and a big fat bill to go with it.
philcollins keep us updated.
Have a great day all.

by philcollins Tue Feb 07, 2017 5:06 am

Still sore but getting better.

by Ragtacker Tue Feb 07, 2017 5:42 am

Good morning, 0 and lots of snow on the ground. No more for this morning but may get going again this afternoon.
Have a great day

It's supposed to get up to 7 by this evening! Craziness! Above freezing means I'll spend some time in the shed today working on combines.

by **smoken340** Tue Feb 07, 2017 7:20 am

Good morning all, we haven't received any of the freezing rain yet. But they are still saying that we will get it. The system is moving a lot slower than expected.
