Understatement of the year.

We are in the 4 to 6 inch range later today of the storm
Going to be a muddy mess when this stuff melts

I'm seriously thinking about replacing my wood stove insert in my basement with a pellet stove insert. I will then have 2 pellet stoves, and that means more pellets, but I'm 45 amd not getting any younger, and I'd rather sling bags of pellets in August then out getting wood in the wind and snow in January...

With this winter not only January but February and March and oh %$#@ it is October already

I'm not so much tired of winter as I am tired of snowblowing every 48 hours. It's only mid February and I Iive in NH so I have no right to be tired of winter yet. I've been tracking oil prices and it looks like the switch to pellets this heating season is going to save me somewhere in the vicinity of 40 - 50% over what I would have paid if still using oil.

Come late March is when the cabin fever will truly start to set in. I know I'll be itching to get outside and take my kids to the park. My son is turning three in July and I already have a soccer ball picked out for his bday. I just hope he likes it as much as dad likes the idea of kicking it around with him.

It just seems like I'm either moving snow, or dealing with wood/pellet stoves and oh just yesterday for the first time in my life... roof raking

Pics or it didn't happen!

You can't be tired of winter ! Not finished playing with the snow machine
Sill lots of sledding to do
At least there are no Mosquitoes and Blackflies

I teach in a school that has 700+ kids in it. One thing we noticed is how few students and faculty have been sick this year compared to the last few years, especially last year? Could that be one of the few benefits of the ridiculous cold this year?

To cold to travel about and pass on illness. I try and avoid peak times when parents drag the kids in to the stores.

This picture was taken 2 days ago, Got 5 inches today on top of this with more on the way the rest of the week.. We seriously don't need to Order any more snow this year.

Not to mention the bitter cold is hanging on, extended forcast is near 0 for the end of the month. Moving snow isn't fun in a 40 below 0 wind chill.
Ok off my soapbox everyone have a great evening.

I don't mind the cold too much because the pellet stove keeps us nice and toasty but my shoulders are begging for a break from shoveling and snowblowing

Just move ton 8 of my stash that was planned to last the entire season Surprise. Here in NNY we've had one of the coldest and snowiest winter seasons recalled from many years back. I had to order more and the my dealer likes to haul 4 ton at a time, so I did order that number hoping i'll have some of that four to start the next season with. Not lamenting the use, and happy it wasn't fuel oil at $3.80 per gallon.

Here is one of the 7 piles of snow in our yard. It is several feet taller than when I took the photo

I can handle the cold, it sucks, but I can handle it. Its the snowblowing and shoveling my house, my mothers, my inlaws, and a few other elderly folks on the street thats wearing me thin. That and the constant battle with ice on the steps, ice on the deck, etc. etc. Thankfully the vehicles are all garaged, but doing any maintenance on them sucks still due to the snow melt puddle that is ever present. Looking forward to boating season makes the time pass.

X2 on the snow blowing fatigue, brother. With only a short January thaw for a break from the relentless cold this year, I think even the New England winter loving hard cores will be looking forward to spring this year.

Looks like tomorrow will make it the 4th plow-able storm in 6 days here in central Maine. I'm going out as we speak for some 'seat time' on the tractor so the wifey can get in the driveway after her night RN shift.

Thank God for a tractor snow-cab though, and a cozy pellet stove heated farmhouse to come back inside to !!

Better than Hot Humid summer weather few sure!!

I live in NH not Florida so I'll take the summer over the winter any day. For me being outdoors in the summer in New England is light years more enjoyable than being outdoors in the winter. There is just so much more that I can do in the yard and with my kids in the summer. Winter here feels like you're a prisoner in a sense.

I grew up in NH but never learned to ski, snowmobile, ice skate, snowboard, snowshow etc etc and now that I'm in my thirties I have zero interest in starting any of these things. I'd much prefer to take part in that other traditional New England winter past time, bitching about the cold and snow.

And this is March coming in? 30 degrees below normal!
