Just a skiff of snow here. A whopping 1-3" predicted. Looks like the snow blade will wait a bit more and that is fine with me.
We only got a dusting int NE PA. They got 1-2 feet in NW PA. Better there than here. Although it won't be long I am sure.
Solar I just read Syracuse.com after talking with my sister who lives in Syracuse and you have received a total of 30.9 inches for the month of December and it's still falling. :coolgrin:

We've gotten 16" and we are a long way from 'the lake'. I'd think they'd start freezing over soon, which should curtail this lake effect stuff.
I'll take snow over bitter cold though

Boy I miss the days in Syracuse - walking against the wind to school in the AM, snow blowing in your face....every day...
I filled the garage with about 3 cords a month ago just so I don't have to deal with that. I am not as bad off as the NE with only 8" on the ground with 2-3" more coming tommorow.

Dennis, you still on schedule to get that new machine tomorrow, or did you already pick it up?
Looks like it'll come in handy right outta the gate.
If I had to dig tunnels to the wood pile a lot more of it would be a lot closer.
We usually get rain here.
Worst is when we get a foot of snow, then a half inch of rain then the cold part of the storm races in and freezes the slushy heavy slop.
Once it freezes you can't plow it nor snowblow it.

Solar weather.com is forecasting another 10-15 inches for Syracuse in the next 48 hours. The salt city is getting pounded.

We are at 3. I think the wind must have clocked around more from the west as we only got another 3 or 4 inches since I left for work this morning.

I learned that lesson year 1. Digging a tunnel to a snow/ice/snow/ice/repeat covered pile of bought "seasoned" wood that was frozen into a solid block was a pretty miserable experience. I think I have it just about figured out now.

They called this afternoon to say it is ready. So yes, we'll pick it up tomorrow. Sold the old one and just an hour or so ago it went down the road.

We've been getting a 3 lake fetch since Sunday. I've been watchin' the radar and we're right under a finger that stretches almost to Jersey. This stuff is the heaviest snow I've seen in years. Piled up with the loader , it looks blue in places when the sun comes out briefLEE.
The lakes may freeze early this year if we don't get a warm up. All this snow dumpin in the lake is coolin it down fast.

SolarAndWood some nasty cold coming in for Monday & Tuesday, windchills 23-26 below zero. Looks like the first reel test for the Lopi heating the house from the basement.
High btu wood coming in starting Thursday until we have one full rack.

Yeah Zap, the wind is brutal. I wonder how much more heat gets sucked off a window when its blowing than still. I'm considering doing indoor storms when I start trimming out the house.
Stopped snowing long enough to clean up before the next one. I wish I had gotten the siding on the back side of the house done sooner so that I could have gotten next year's burn under a roof too. Hopefully the wind and sun will do its thing so that I can get it done sometime soon.
Its interesting how much a photo full of snow compresses. 1300x975 in 100KB should save Craig some drive space and bandwidth.

We had our first "storm" of the season yesterday. Only got a couple inches of snow out of it though. Then it misted a little and made things icy. They are forcasting 8-12 inches this weekend though.
