We have about 4 inches lying snow and at the moment it's blowing a gale but bright and sunny. I'm sitting indoors wth a cup of tea and biscuits watching the kids playing on the green outside. There's one little chap out there with his mum, they walk three steps, he falls over, she picks him up only for him to faceplant, she picks him up for him to fall on his backside. It's a hoot, a little while ago she tried to get to him to make a snow Angel...... that went well, he just wafted his little hands around in front of him! Who needs TV when there's all this going on outside your window.

Here's how each region of the US handles snow... Keep in mind they talking about Portland Oregon not Portland Maine

We had a week of winter this year...we're over it. It sucked. My diesel truck does NOT like the cold.

You can actually see the top of your fence posts. Most of mine are buried. We had a foot of snow last night and freezing rain this morning. High winds and more snow today.
Stay warm.

I used to envy you and maverick on your choices of location.....

Add a splash of acetone to your diesel its a Cetane booster and help stop Diesel from waxing up.

I was missing Florida weather last week!

We went to Miami Beach right after Christmas where it was in the 80s all week. My daughter lives in the D.C. area and when she moved there last winter, they had a blizzard that buried her car. I mean the very day she moved! She wanted to go somewhere warm for Christmas.

And plug the block heater up!

Each of my vehicles have oil pan heaters, trickle chargers and battery pad heaters. All connected to a junction box with and single plug to connect to power. I replace the batteries every couple of years too. For my diesel equipment I add some anti gel treatment to the fuel and plug it in a couple hours before I need to start it.

Daughter coming back from the post office. She checking on the vehicles for occupants that where not there when she left earlier this morning

900 foot level, apparently lost it on the turn

2000 feet, the driver missed the turn (lucky he hit the tree otherwise 45ft more he would have been over a 2000 foot cliff), ended up dropping the back seat climbing out through the trunk, the driver was on foot walking when she picked him up roughly 6 miles from this spot.

The stretch (center of photo) we call the knife's edge, too the North of the road avalanche problems, to the South of the road a nasty cliff, the vehicles were on the knife's edge, during the winter it takes an hour and half to drove the edge.
