Keep the shovels out
« on: February 08, 2010, 06:52:43 PM »
 Just watched the weather a little while ago. I hate to say it but here we go again. They are calling for 12 to 14 in our area with high winds. This will start tues. afternoon till wens. night. With that much snow plus what we have it might be a long week. It will be tough on all wildlife.
Have a good day

It is snowing here right now. And it is pretty hard. I have to go to Bedford at 5:30 to get my taxes done. Might be a interesting trip. I'll let you know when I get back.

I have 15 inches on the ground yet, had 22 inches. I need no more snow because all the bugs are all buried. I watched a Redfox at work leap from place to place until he got to a Calvert. He has to be sick of it also. LOL

Heck, round 2 has just started and #3 is on the west coast right now. Might have to get to drag'n some snow off the roofs pretty soon. Seen one of my neighbors shoveling his roof off today.( allready ripped his gutter off one side of the house)

It's doing the same thing with this storm as the last. It's 33 degrees right now and it's wet and heavy snow coming down. Not supposed to be above freeze'n for the rest of the week. Just hope the power stays on this time.

You know some people damage their shingles doing this too...Also know of two people that died. they fell off the roof removing snow.  See this is why one has homeowners insurance....I know their is a deductible..However you can do more damage with the shovel to your roof and also to yourself.....

Bummer!!!!!Just looked outside... Twilight.....No light would be nneded this evening...However where would one park on the now what was 22.5 inches of snow?...Probably down a bit maybe 18 inches but still no place to park the Foxmobile (Saturn SL2).  The other vehicle a Chrysler town & Country  Van...While it be good to take you to Texas to hunt predators sure is not a good vehicle to hunt Pa Predators in a snow storm!!!!!!!!

put the chains on the Trooper when i got home tonight from work.....gonna head in around 5am and hope to beat all the idiots on the roads. luckily my way to work is all backroads so dealing with other drivers at that hour is slim to nill. will probably be one of only a few on that road at that time. the real tricky part is going to be getting home...the brunt of this one is gonna happen tomorrow. talking blizzard conditions with "thunder snow" and high winds.....yeash!

12-20" i just saw predicted for me.

was planning on going calling tonight but its coming down harder than i anticipated at this hour already. i aint been out hunting in forever it seems. >:(

I now have a couple of inches of new snow already and it is to snow all night and tomorrow all day. I wonder if there is room in that Calvert. :>)
