I'm going home early, then let it come after I load the hoops and stoke the fire. Not going to drive in that crap tomorrow either.
Im sick of this white #$%^!! I dont have a choice but to drive in it. I have to be at work, at a police station. I'll be dealing with the other idiots who insist on driving in it! Have to get to that ski area you know
Just filled up the box on my deck, even presplit different sizes at lunch today, I say box but it's really just 4 pallets screwed together and tarped. Ready for the snow/ice now.

Umm move to florida....
No snow here,52f and sunny.. but then of course us west coast people have mostly nothing but softwood to burn. so I guess it kinda evens it up 
4-8 inches of snow forcasted for Thursday around here. More below zero lows after that. You will probably get another storm Friday.
Madison broke a 30 year old record for seasonal snowfall today--78 inches and rising. Temps down to about
zero tonight. Isle Royale cruising along at 550. Warm and toasty.

Well it started here around 5PM.(about 3 inches of snow at this point) I was just finishing topping off the hoops and burning down the coals. I got enough in to make it through the next week or so, they are predicting snow, sleet, heavy rain and more snow (that's just today and tomorrow) then we will be getting cloudy and snow and rain. EEUUUKK, I wish it would just make up its mind.
At least there is enough in to make it to the next dry couple of days. And, I'm going to enjoy loading every bit of it; sipping something nice by the warm fire with my lady by my side.
Weather it all friends.

Ive lived in VT all my life and wouldnt move to Florida if you paid me to. I was down there the week before Xmas a few years back, walking around in shorts and tshirt, with palms decorated and hearing Xmas music....thats just not right!! I loved snow until I got married and bought a house....now I hate it but we dont have the hurricanes, tornadoes etc etc that other places have either.
At 8:30 last night the moon was still showing. Started some time overnight and only got 3" by 7 when I left for work. Its switching over to sleet and freezing rain now. Unless it switches back and takes off, we wont be getting the 12"+ they forcast.

i am dying for a blizzaed or a big storm here in west mass it has been terrible the last ten years we NEVER get those 2-3-4 day storms with 30 + inches some of you get... it has been forcasted a couple of times but was a dud
yeah, I hear you there WoodWacker, its the coming home from work at 6pm, spending 2+ hours snowblowing/shoveling, have dinner and basically goto bed is what sucks! I dont have time to sit in front of the fire with a bottle of wine!
Woodwacker, you are correct. The reason I stay here is the seasons. I surely can deal with the snow, have all my life. Just get sick of it after awhile when its every other day for 2 weeks!
Im warm this year with the new stove so that makes it better than last for sure! My oil bills are WAY down compared to last too!
I was just laughing the other day when they put up all the WARNINGS for the snow for 8". That used to be a normal everyday snow years ago, now everyone gets all freaked out! Now LAST Valentines day, that was a STORM. I got 4 feet at my place. I remember my parents having to hire a loader every year to push back the snowbanks. Seldom do that nowadays.

Well last night the storm finally got to one of my big pines. Sitting watching tv and on the net working last night, hear a big whooomp, cable/internet go out. Pretty much knew what it was before I even went outside. Had about 1/4-1/2" of ice on the trees so it was a matter of time. The branch that came down wasn't really all that big either but it looks like it fell from about 50 feet or so. At least it missed the power line. I couldn't believe the response time, I figured it wouldn't be back up until today, but they got someone out here within about 45 min. He had it up within an hour or so, ran me a new underground type cable that they will come back and bury in the spring.
