Good Morning!!!!!!

[Dotch]

Mornin' gang! 32 at choretime topping out at 34. Heavy wet snow and too much of it. 7.6" at the ranch and 6.3" in Bugtussle proper. More like a March snowfall in terms of water content. .76" of liquid equivalent at the ranch & .63" in Bugtussle. Typically January snow here contains half that amount or less. The plus side was it was so heavy the wind really didn't blow it around much. I didn't even try the blower on it, just pushed some paths through it with the skidsteer. Slick underneath & not much clearance so easy to get stuck or slide sideways down the slopes with relatively bald tires. Hopefully it'll cool off some & I can blow things out more to my liking tomorrow.

Wow! Snowed a lot more over your way!

[LPS]

We did have a solid 4" here.  I just went down to the fish house and the water was over the rubber bottom part of my boots.  I turned the propane off.  Now hopefully we do get some colder weather to freeze things up on the river.  I had to do two passes with my sled to pack down a spot so I wouldn't sink when I got off of it.  It worked out and I got out of there ok.

So LPS, did it look like this when you where done

I was surprised. When I went out ~ 10 last nite for lamb check there was a little more than an inch. Was drizzling a little bit ago in town & now I see some flurries.

It isn't that bad yet Glenn but water is showing up where there was 6" or more of snow.

Afternoon peoples,  tgif for sure. Not sure what we got fer snow,  pretty wet and settled when I got home and fired up the chucker.  Ya the ice around these parts havnt changed much since new years, this is the last weekend of bustin in the cave so hoping to get out the next. Anywho gots to get some thighs ready ta grill... see ya !!!

[Gunner55]

 Evenin peoples, had 1 of those days today. It started with a problem with the water heater & ended with an issue with the snow blower. On the downhill slide now but had to do a 1:00 run to GR in order to take the Husqvarna to L & M. CR 35 wasn't very good startin out but Mn 46 was good. I'd swear 'bout every other rig goin the other way had either a wheelhouse, toy hauler, sled, or wheeler behind it. I didn't see any snowfall totals for us but I'm bettin it was ~ 4". 'Bout it from here, time to chill!

[glenn57]

 Damn Gunner glad ya got it all straightened out. Part of the reason I don't head up when it's brutal cold anymore.

2nd that on hope all is better!! 

[Gunner55]

It was just a leaky valve on the pressure relief for the water heater, took us a bit to track it down though. Lookin back, I believe it's been going bad for a while & we just didn't realize it. L & M had a replacement for $10 & it doesn't look that bad to install so it'll probably go in tomorrow. The blower thing was my fault as I got a little to ambitious with the heavy wet snow.

[HD]

I think we got about 5 inches of snow, but mostly rain.
It was in the 30's, but if it would'a been colder it would have been deep.
I ain't even gonna bother plowing and let it melt.

Have a good day boys!

[Gunner55]

Mornin all, TWC says it's 19* at the moment & we might hit 24* later. There looked to be 5-6 vehicles over at the resort yday when we came home ~4. A couple, 3, were out on the bay too. Some pickin up to do today after our day yday otherwise I wouldn't mind get out there myself. See how it goes, might get a chance to wet a line. Have a good day.

[mike89]

mornin all, 18 here and might make it to 21..  but the wind has settled down and I'm ok with that..  got a few things going on today  so I'll keep busy for the most part..  have a good day all!! 

[glenn57]

rning fellers........momma left me again today  to spend the day bumming with her grandaughter, so looks like football and beer kinda day.........

[LPS]

Morning boys.  16 and a little breeze here.  I am staying away from the fish house until it all freezes back up so just football today I guess.  Well my Mom and Dad both got Covid.  Mom is back home but Dad is in the hospital for 5 days they think.  He is on that reseveriedol???  or whatever it is. That takes 5 days to give I guess.  He was even more confused that normal and that is from the Covid I guess.  Things are looking better for both of them today.  Be careful out there.  This is still spreading.

[glenn57]

glad to hear there on the mend bud!!!!!!!!!!!

[mike89]

prayers to all ya LPS...

[roony]

Hope their recovery goes as planned. My 92 year old mother who has lots of other issues made it through her bout with covid. It sure hits some hard though.

glad to hear that Roony.

Mornin' gang! 24 at choretime heading for a high near 26. Not a lot on tap today for a change. Think I'll just putz today, keep an eye out for lambs and maybe take Mrs. Cheviot out to eat tonite. Hope she doesn't try to chase me around afterwards. Hate when that happens. Hope your folks heal well Barry. Remdesivir was one of the things they used on one of Mrs. Cheviot's co-workers who is also a nurse. Her main symptoms were a severely stuffed up head with no taste or smell. Within a matter of hours of the initial treatment it cleared that up. Glad to hear your Mom is doing OK Art.

Morning boys. 15 here this morning. Hope your folks make it through the covid Barry! Went out fishing yesterday. The wife came out about noon to join me. We had decent action through most of the day. Lots of little ones to sort thru. The wife caught a fat 27" walleye. When it come out of the hole I thought for sure it was over 30. But it fooled me. We had a fish dinner out in the fish house and came back to shore about 8. Going to head out and fish until about noon. Then come in and cut firewood. Just another day in paradise. Have a good one boys.

[LPS]

Morning boys.  Not a lot going on here today neither and that is just fine.  Will get a fire going in the garage and feed the horses some oats both of which are more fun now with Cooper in the mix.  I don't let him come into the stall area so there is a chain link gate I don't let him go through.  He barks then and the horses are getting used to him now.  LOL  We walked out to the fish house yesterday and it is freezing around it now.  Still slushy out in the snow though.  I make snow machine trails through the woods and coming up to the house so we have nice places to walk.  Fox tracks everywhere.  We may take the dogs and go for a ride up to the lake before football starts too. 

[mike89]

mornin all, must have forgot to hit post earlier when I got going here..  oh well, 18 here and might make 27..  be nice to see the sun too..  just small things on the agenda for today..  have a good day all!!   

[Gunner55]
