It's cold enough, but it needs to stay this way for a couple of weeks. It just might be enough to make a difference this year.


Let's hope so!!! It's gonna be cold at least through XMAS day, here in the PNWet, it sounds like.
 
17, three inches of snow, the low tonight is supposed to be 20, I can't wait to see how that works out.
I've got to make a wood run tomorow. High of 36, hopefully I can get in and out before it warms up!!!
I am taking the big come along just because this time!!!
 
Well it has started again.. We have a mix of snow and ice coming down hard and steady, dark clouds rolling in and the temp should be right in a bit for more snow... I have not heard the projected amounts yet...
 
Cowboy Dave's working for a coupla weeks for a big firm in San Jose...said it was snowing there this morning--big fatties comin' down. Saw pics from Kirkweed. Guys were skiing mid thigh blower pow!!
 
Calling for 1-3" tonight, white stuff that is.

I am going to be "shoveling" for some extra $, not much but something to do. It's all part of a plan, he's a landscraper, I'm an arborist, his current wannabe tree guy they say shows up drunk and he getting sick of it. Well whaddya know, there's Brendon.
 
Thank goodness for inept treeguys, makes room for people who got their act together. We get good money for handshovelling here.
