That's what I get for heading to SC for some warm weather in the wintertime!

Sunday morning our low will be low 20s.

I suppose that's still better than what we had! 2 nights ago was -10, and the high was about 4. Fought a frozen pipe of course

Looks like the storm is going east. In Western MA we are maybe going to luck out with only 4-6 this time. They were calling for a foot earlier in the week.

We won't know until Saturday night, what the storm is doing. They can tell us, a week ahead, that a storm wil form, but can't get the amounts right.

I believe it is a '55 Arps Roto-Flail snowblower. Those 4 flail choppers in the front weigh about 15lbs each....kind of like starting a bush hog vertically. They say that if the snow is heavy and wet it won't feed the fan well, but I haven't had any problem. It runs okay on the TO35, but it really needs more HP so I either use it on the 504 or the JD 3020. Boy, it really throws the snow.

I always said until the day of the storm, they throw a dart on a map for the location of the storm and they spin the wheel of fortune to get the amount coming

1639 ? I am just speechless. If the house could talk .

yea, it is called the Tide Mill House (not registered). We are on a tidal salt creek and it started out as a grist mill and the mill stone had to turn both ways because of the tidal creek.

New forecast is for 15 to 24 inches, here. Haven't had that much in 10 years!
