We might get 3 to 5 inches of snow from the system this weekend but the next system coming in Tuesday night and Wednesday looks like we'll get 0.66 of an inch of rain from the forecast today.
I have no idea what’s going to come, lol. It’ll arrive, I’ll not be able to find my shovel or it’ll be broken… life will go on, lol
Snow shovels out here have cobwebs and with 4+ days of snow predicted our road won't get plowed for at least a week, if at all. That means no mail delivery. We have plenty of food and wood, so we'll see how the forcast develops in the next few days.

Today we finally started bringing in some better hardwood, two smaller loads of beech.
This was on nextdoor, so it must be right. Btw, there has been a mass sighting of coyotes and foxes in my area, lol.
I need to go to a wrestling tournament tomorrow morning. The storm will be coming in as it ends. I’m thinking the roads will be fine. They have all day to prep the roads.
If typical patterns follow, when we get a cold blast, it seeps eastward at much lower temps due to little blockage from Canada to Texas.

Have a safe trip. We might get 3 to 5 inches from the system this weekend and then it looks like warmer weather starting on Tuesday & Wednesday with rain. Hopefully it melts everything off the driveway or we'll be all ice back here.

Keep a look out for another system coming in for next weekend, that one should be all snow. The same guy was saying the winds could be 50 to 60 mph with the system coming in on Tuesday night and Wednesday of the coming week.
Next weekend is sectional qualifiers for states. Thats in a more rural area. Eh, what are ya gonna do? Gotta watch the kid. The truck has so much weight in the back I doubt ill need to get out of rear wheel drive this year, lol.

We might get 3 to 5 from this storm and then the next one will get rid of it if we get the rain.

We received 6 inches overnight and it's still snowing. We have a high wind watch for later Tuesday, 30 - 40 mph winds with gusts of 65.
I had the kid clear the driveway around noon and there was 6” then. I cleared it again about an hour ago and moved 2-3”.
I think the snow will be stopping soon.

I hope there isn’t a ton of wind. That could be bad with all of the mature white pines around.
It’s supposed to be 37 and sunny today. I hope enough of that sun hits my north facing driveway to clean it up, lol.
I think I saw an expected 1-3” tomorrow.

Looks like we get the choice of rain, and freezing rain! Lol.
I was able to get 90% of the driveway ice and snow free today.

Yes, it's one of those storms that offers up everything. I did scrape down the driveway good today so hopefully it gets down to gravel.
I still have a few things that will get done early tomorrow, the forks and the plow will come out of the woods to a safe area. I did get 10 gallons of gas, 10 gallons of diesel after we did some grocery shopping.
I'll get some chainsaws ready tomorrow along with sharpening up some chains. The wife made some very good potato soup the other day and today she made some kickass chili.
