Whiskey Tango Foxtrot III

Gah! Still haven't fired up the snow blower or put the mower away yet. I'm gonna be sorry!

Guess flurries are early. Seeing it as I am going home the kids love it but I am thinking I better get the blower tested Stat.

reply to Warzau
I expect to see a blanket of wet sopping heart attack snow,mmmmm next week.

Happy December! Who got towed last night?

reply to Warzau
It's snowing today

reply to Warzau
Be on alert gentleman. I did it. I got my snow blower out and checked the oil, plug and put in some fresh gas. It started up on the 2nd pull. So it is ready, which means. We prob won't get any snow

Maybe I should bite the bullet and finally buy a snowblower. That will basically guarantee we won't get any more snow!

There are tons of them on craigs list all the time for cheap.

reply to insomniac
Please do! I was hoping someone this year would finally break down and get one. We've had too many heavy snow winters and I am sick of it.

Take one for the team!

Welll time to break out the snow blower....

Still snowing a little. I'm gonna wait until it stops.

Still snowing here as well. I was hoping for 4-6" so I could go do trails for the dogs as well. May not get enough for that. At least it isn't the wet snow!
