Well the weather outside is frightfull and blah blah blah.....

Here are a few pics of my place yesterday. About 2' of snow on the ground..the dozer is getting a good workout this season with the 1km driveway and daily snowfalls. It's not too cold though, -5C most days.
Only a little footpath to the shop/radio room and I have to step DOWN into the shop.

cheers

Beautiful pics, Paul.  You could actually turn those into Xmas cards.  Smiley  Good thing you've got a dozer!

Geez - -

We are just starting to get our snow this year. Syracuse typically gets around 11 feet of snow through the winter season. At this point we have received less than 32 inches!! Unheard off.

Here is a shot of the weather here on Saturday, just a little lake effect snow.

It is 22 here and no snow. Sun is out and I'm sitting here in the solar room in bare feet mid 70s.
High clouds have kept the temperature cool enough to leave my shirt on.

All I can say is thank God for global warming, we'd have some frigid temps, but very little snow!

And a cold one will go to the person who can identify what the 2 cars are, barley detectable under the snow.  No cheating for the locals who know what I have.

Cars------
Very little showing, one on right reminds me of a '68 thru '72 Pontiac intermediate; possibly Tempest or GTO. Left one has even less showing--reminds me of a late 70's Firebird or Trans Am.

**This is my unscientific wild a$$ guess based on what little is showing.**

And before I got sick, my wife and I considered retirement in Canada.

No cold one for me but it was 81F/27C today in Tampa.

Sorry.   Heh heh.

Yes, but with no antennas allowed in that prison that you moved into down there, I would much prefer the snow and the cold!

Don't hold back Phil.   Grin Grin

I wish we would get some damn snow over here. The heating season is just starting to kick in the last few weeks, so biz is cruising with the cold that's finally here, but where's the snow? Angry

If we get some, do you want me to pack it in Dry Ice and ship it to you?

If that's the case, you can dump it on ebay for big bux. I saw that one on the news last week how some dumbass bought snow from an ebay auction.

We got about an inch, just enough to want to get the fireplace started, enough for a two hour school delay, not enough to make the roads difficult, but enough to trigger the salt brigades. I can almost hear the rust gettin' goin'

Oh, you guys are good. Yup, they're both Pontiacs..one on the right is a 1968 Firebird Convertable, the one on the left is a 1968 GTO.

Cheers
