Accuweather posted .4 of snow this morning for Saturday. I just looked now and they changed it to Windy and Colder.
I wish it was Spring again. |

Who is going to make the sacrificial snow blower purchase this year to help ward off the snow? |

I think the Polar Vortex is already here. Can't we just skip Winter and jump straight to Spring? |

blech. I totally punted on winterizing. Still need to run the mower dry, haven't put anything away and haven't even looked at my snow blower yet. |

Same thing here. I still have some fuel in mine. I used it last week to mulch leaves and leave it out for the town to pick up. I did change out the paddles and scraper bar on my snow blower. I just need to get fresh fuel. |

I finally got to clean outside and brought all the crap I need to bring inside put away. Now, If I only had more time to clean the garage. |

You'll still have a warm, if wet Sunday to get things done. Then we start heading back to January weather for Thanksgiving and the weekend... |

At least I had enough time Saturday to put my Halloween stuff away and get out the Christmas stuff. In other news, it took me 3 minutes of prying to unfreeze my driver's door, and my trunk lock snapped (I put the key in, turned it and the cable snapped ) |

It suppose to be nice and sunny this week-end (mid 40s). Another shot for me to clean up the garage and get the snow blower ready.
Happy Thanks Giving!
Winter officially starts Dec. 21 ~ sigh |

Finally ran the mower dry sunday. Damn that thing will run forever with a few drops of gas if there's no load. Also dug out the blower. Fired right up, so that's nice.
Just need one more weekend in the upper 40's to clean the garage and I'll be good to pack it in for the winter. |

I'm sure you guys miss using your snow blowers. Check out these images of 53 feet of snow. |

Where is that? Unless the one picture is flipped, it looks like Japan/England/SouthAfrica since they are driving on the left. |

Yep, it pretty much looks like East of Chicago. If you're in the west and NW suburbs, you're getting dusting if any. |
