December Journal

I'm hoping for one last rip on the iceboat this afternoon, before we get buried in about a foot tonight.

Once I am snowed out maybe I can get to welding up that new airtight front!

Here in central NY we only have about an inch of snow. We have had the cold but I think snowfall might be at or near an all time low. We have not had to plow nor shovel yet. Went hunting all season with no snow on the ground.

Were in for one heck of a storm,starting tonight and going till Saturday morn.
And I hear parts of Minnesota can get up to 2 feet of the white stuff.
Was suppose to pick up a friend from the airport late afternoon and they called and said their stranded in Chicago for the night because all flights have been cancelled

I hope that snow doesn't even make it here. I think we are supposed to get some Saturday night into Sunday, though.

Weatherman last night said snow all day with 1 to 3 inches in the worst areas. I kinda laughed and thought how does it snow all day and only get an inch. HMMMMM This morning before I even looked out the window I turned on the news and got the same report. Walked out side and already had 10 on the porch. Snowed all day and measured 21 on the yardstick. Very light though so that is good. Spent a good part of the day plowing 5 fishing camps out, my driveway the sugarhouse and said heck mine as well keep on going so I plowed out the main entries into the sugar bushes. Oh my parents as well. Neighbor was telling me he keeps records of the snowfall and said we are about 26 inches below what we had last year at this time.

We got about an inch today.

Hi all,

Oh well not much any of us can do about it other than have a Merry Christmas everyone!!!!!!!
Hope you've got something Maple under the tree!!!!!!!!!

It's warmed up to 15F this morning from yesterdays high of 9. We finished boarding up the gable ends on the sugar house yesterday. Just doors left to build and install and to board up the sofits to get it tight enough so I can heat it while I'm bricking the arch. There is less then a foot of snow on the ground here as that last noreaster went off more to the south and let us be. Not to worry though there will be another along directly.
Merry Christmas everyone and may your tree have lots of maple stuff under it.

Nothing but rain here this morning.Just went up to the main highway and nothing but ice,and not a single car traveling either.Was suppose to go to work for a couple hours but that's not going to happen.

So rain rain go away come back when you should in May
