trace, Not snowed in here. We are down on snow this year. Today is most wintery we have had in a while. 27 degrees ligth wind driven snow but only about 1 inch on the ground. Throw another log on the fire and try to enjoy it if you can.

We're supposed to get some snow today. Not sure how much, but we've been getting them damn ice storms which has been keeping me a little more at work than home. I'd rather have the snow than the ice though...... Steve@B&B ------------- 39'RC, 43'WC, 48'B, 49'G, 50'WF, 65 Big 10, 67'B-110, 75'716H, 2-620's, & a Motorhead wife |

Here in central Ia., don't feel 'snowed in' but it sure is ugly out there! Got around 6" yesterday with some freezing rain on top. Pheasants are going to be about nonexistent next year. Wind is just howling outside, though it seams to have went down just a little since I got up this morning. This will be a good test for the 720 when I get out to mom's to move snow out there. Not looking forward to that! |

Went out at 8:30 and cranked up the WD. Plowed out the driveway with 3 point blade. Could hardly stand the cold wind at the end of the drive way, but got it cleaned. Weather man said this morning would be the warmest part of the day. Must have 4-5 inches of snow with frozen rain on top. South central Iowa. Dennis

| I don't know how many inches they got up on the flat. I am down in a u shaped bottom. The wind blows over the top of us and dumps the snow on us. I just got in from pushing snow. We've got about a foot down here. It is crusting over now. Did I say, I hate snow about as much as I detest a filthy old goat. I guess I am lucky. It only took me 2 hours with the blade on the pickup and a shovel cleaning up around the mail box. Old gal got out to the shed to work. I outta dig her golf cart outta the snow drift so she don't have to walk back up the hill. |

| We got a little of everything. 3 to 4" of snow,sleet and freezing rain. Temperature is 34 up from 27 this morning. Really a yucky day. I got the 7060 out and plowed some driveways. Snow is like trying to move wet concrete! Put a pot of Chili on the stove and let it simmer. Ate 2 bowls full. Now I might have to take a nap! |

You could all move over here for the winter not one snow flake no matter how hard Shameless blows his "pretty".  If enough of you come for the  March electon coming we could slow the march over the cliff.  It is 44 which has me putting more wood on the fire but you tough guys,call that warm.

We got 5 to 6 inches. Wet heavy stuff. Really made the little tractor earn her keep. I cleaned the drive this morning and we've had snow, sleet and rain all day long. Nothing accumulating just continual. Making it slick out there, but I don't have to go anywhere so that's fine! ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

Folks, NW PA is now in winter mode for a couple days. We just hunkerd down most of the day as it snowed about 1 inch per hour. I made pancakes and sausage for brunch, and we had Italian sausage links for supper. Those are from our daughters hogs. Delicious! Have maybe 8 inches of fresh snow on the ground. Snowmobiles are out running the road. I went to town and got gas, diesel and milk. Then plowed the drive with the Jubilee. My friend Matt wants to come and get some old well worn tire chains I have for his D14, which he says is helpless in the snow. (not loaded tires). Erie PA made the national news for tractor trailers wrecked and piled up on I-90 about 15 miles from here. Stay warm out there!

"Democrats have concluded that the high birth rate increases during July, August and September each year in specific states is somehow attributed to a phenomenon based in Nebraska. Sharp increases have been noted in most Northern states with nearly a billion dollars of taxpayer money spent so far to research the issue that seems to start in the Rockies and trends eastward". Nancy Pelosiwas quoted in a recent interview, "we proposed this investigation with a number of high placed democrats that formed this investigative committee and have received numerous reports from esteemed scientists and climatologists attempting to explain this phenomenon, including a number of conspiracy theories that this issue is based from a secret location in a specific area that is confined to an outbuilding in Nebraska". She went on to reiterate that no expense would be spared to verify the origin and many global warming scientists were behind these democrat sponsored efforts. |

Actually, heard Peelosi was lookin for another investigation to spend money on and someone "leaked" info to her about the Shameless Pretty Machine . . . . . Of course, if Nancy says it, its gotta be true. We need to have Dale be on the lookout for Shifty and Naddless, just in case!
