    Funny, it was 60 here yesterday and 40's today and no precip. Amazing what difference a few hundred miles makes. It has been a bad winter here so far as we have had 14 days with measurable snow fall of aprox 1" or more which is as many or more than we have gotten a lot of winters. Appears we are in for a long one if the way it has been the past 6 weeks is any indication. All the snows we have had at least where I live have been 1 to 4 inches, so no deep snow but this week has been a welcome break. We got a ton of rain from Sunday thru Thurs, so if it had been a little colder, we would have snow up to our eyeballs.

    Left this Morning at 6:00am to meet up with Cardigan99 at Bascom's to purchase his oil evaporator. Bad driving most of the way but couldn't be stopped. was going to spend the evening with friends in Concord but Wanted to get back with my new toy. roads were better coming back, but still snowed most of the way back. Ever try to get a 1/2 oil drum with what felt like a ton of angle iron out of the back of a Caravan. It sure went in Easier. anyway after much pulling and pushing we got it close to where we want it. Bought some stuff, how can you go to Bascom's and not. I feel the disease taking over. OH NO.

    Total? You mean total time spent on the couch with a heat pad after throwing my back shoveling? Hmmmm.... Judging by that I'd say 8-9 inches.

    Round 3 has started with heavy east winds.

    Enough snow and everything minds, even my team of Belgian's. And, when I get to the woods, I have to be able to move around. Frankly, there is too much left for me to do before March 1 to be bogged down too much. Still, I am doing something every day. Yesterday was only a few droplines. Today, I will probably try to finish getting the evaporator torn down for it's move to the new sugar house. Snow is just starting. Another foot predicted and high winds with whiteouts. We have 16" on the ground now. Gonna be mostly those Belgian's working for a while.

    Default more snow, more work

    Went to the woods yesterday and found the working conditions to be favorable.
    The inch or 2 of slush we had on Friday was frozen solid. like walking on concrete.
    Finished puling laterals. have enough for 600taps. Have 3 mainlines down the screw anchors are broke I had just finished one when it popped. I guess i must be straining them to much. It is snowing again.not what NE has but it is snowing. I going to put up the main lines to day and some drops the come back and watch the football game.
