We are getting our first real snowstorm of the winter finally. We've had a couple of little storms, maybe 3 inches or so, but we could get over a foot and a half from this one by the time it's over. It may be time to break out the snowshoes after this.
Nice work Nate. That will be some nice firewood for next year.
When I woke up I looked out and it looked like it had only snowed a few inches, then we dug out and it looks more like around a foot in places. It is blowing around so much it's hard to tell how much we got. We are plowed out now, but it's blowing back in.
I guess the blizzard isn't over until it's over.
the sun is pokeing out, looks like we onle got 8-12'' tough to tell wicked wind blown, 50 mph gust. we were forecasted to get 22'' :confused: went out after plowing this morning to check on my lines, was expecting to see some downed limbs but none:cool:
Got about 6" in the woods. I was out plowing all day. I might start hanging mainline tomorow.
I love hangin new line this time of year - snow, cold and everything is so clean and tight.
What's your favorite - wire, mainline/dryline, saddles (not), laterals, drops?
I like laterals best. Well, actually tapping is the best ofcourse, but laterals will do off-season.
I dont even start plowing until theres atleast a foot of snow in the driveway. Windchill is awful here and thats bout all right now. Got almost 90 inches of snow this month and calling for 50 saturday and rain. Makes me want to tap now.
Wind! Holy cow the wind!
We had a Train on the Rockville Bridge in Harrisburg get blown off and into the river today because of the wind!
But no snow:(
This will be my first time hanging tubing. I'm not using wire but I think laterals will be my favorite too. I've got all school vacation to put up tubing n my neibors woods of 75 taps.Quote:

That is where the tank will be set up. It will make running lines to it much easier and will conceal it from view off the road, just 40" away. I will also set my vac pump in there of near by, a little deeper into the bush, but not too far from the tank. I hope the dealer can deliver the excavator tomorrow, late morning or early after noon. Then I start installing my dry line etc, and expand the bush from 400 to 550 using about 3-4 sap ladders. I still need to make a motor mount to put the gas motor on where an electric was.
