At least it waited until December. It snowed about 3'' Sunday night, snowed more last night and there is a 90% chance of snow today. The 15 day forecast shows 10 snow days and 3 rain days. I guess it's safe to say it is on. I made the first trip of the season across the pass yesterday on icy roads. The new Subaru with All Terrain tires was confidence inspiring and appears that it will be a wonderful winter car.
I'll be getting some help with my driveway this winter, it is about 1/4 mile long and can take me 2-3 hours to plow depending on snow depth and consistency. A local contractor has a $65,000 snow blower on a treaded Bobcat that can open my road up to about 16' wide in 20 minutes. At $75 a pop it's a no brainer, writing a check is much easier than what I have been doing.
We have been having a hard freeze with temps down to around 10 with virtually no snow on the ground. This is usually a harbinger of a low insect year next season. In addition local lakes are frozen and I saw a guy ice fishing yesterday on the only lake around here that is open all year.
Not much to do now but wait for the March 1st lowland lakes opener.......
