We're possibly in line for 30-50cm of snow Monday into Tuesday. I have to laugh about this as the alternative is to go bat shit crazy and possibly get sectioned.
Yep. Same Northern Plains storm gonna roll over us. Forecast 12-18 inches. Crud. This is getting tedious
I blame BobG. They grow these things over thataway.

Well, we got about 40cm yesterday. The town is a bit of a mess and I've had to dig myself out 3 times already today.
I'm gonna try and leave work early so I can get some spares for the snowblower. This will hopefully enable me to get back on my drive without getting stuck again.
The worst storm I've seen in my 5 years of pretending to be Canadian.
There was no snow on the deck the day before.

Now we have a 2019 Sylvan Mirage 8522 DLZ LE powered by a Yamaha VF150..
2010 F-150 4.6L to haul it around.
You'll find us enjoying life on the Wabigoon.

You probably need to drink more rye, eh?
Geez, that looks familiar. Today, I have sunshine. And Pneumonia.

I just got tired of all the cold weather and decided I'd go to Budapest to find warmer, sunny weather. We're in Vienna another day before heading to Prague. And we've not seen anything but sun all the way. Upon my return, it's going to be 1 month of Spring cleaning everything I own--including the pontoon boat. Maybe we'll get out on the lake periodically in the coming weeks.

This morning it's about 40 Cm of new snow and still snowing HARD.
(Thought I'd go metric for a change of pace!)
And it's about -7 C.
That's just about the DEFINITION of springtime in the Rockies!
And we have to get the boat down to our canvas guy on Saturday. Let the adventure begin!

48 - 50 inches of ice on the lake we are on. Suppose to be in the 40's this weekend and they are calling for 63 by Wednesday. A dusting of snow again last night to make everything white again, so ready for spring weather. This has been one of the longest winters I can remember, or maybe its just a getting old thing!

Hey it was great being out on the boat yesterday, got out about 3 pm and came back at 10 pm, didn't catch a thing but got to spend some time with the dog on the boat, I get photo's up after while.
I had to go doing a quick plumbing fix, now its 2:30 pm, I'm going to eat and go take the boat out again looking for wild shiners, they are almost as fun as catching the bass, now days they are hard to find.
