Okay...second snow

Post by lucky1 » Fri Dec 14, 2012 10:15 am

It is soooooo pretty:

Hopefully this meagre protection will get the 3 y.rostrata through winter:

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

That would be wonderful if I was not a snow plow man in the winter, 8-14hrs later and I could come home for Christmas.

That's ok, it's my job. :D

We had 3 good snowfalls since November (later then normal), and 3 subsequent melts. I have no snow, in the area where snow is a given......
