Thanks...but no "White Christmas" for us this year....In 2016, this is what Christmas Day looked like, so we DO get snow...but it usually melts  2-3 days later!!

It's for the visual effect.  Hated shoveling the damp East Coast snow.

I've only had dry powdery snow here. Easy to shovel. Of course, I use a tractor.

Recorded 53" of the crap in 30 hours at the Erie Airport.  About 1/3 of what we got all last winter.

Spent 6+ hours on 2 different tractors & 4 hours with a shovel yesterday, just to get 1 of the cars out to the road.

8 more inches in the driveway this morning.

Pretty?  Yeah, I guess....  Great pic, though....

Criminy. I'll be driving through there in FrontWD only Saturday, New Hampshire to Cleveland. Can you get it to hold up for me? Maybe a couple extra passes with the plow? Thanks!

December 15th, 2016 - On business between Syracuse NY and Rochester, NY - - a dreaded "Lake Effect" snow storm.  I had not seen a storm like that in years!!!...and thought I was going to DIE!!  We were following the snow plows in the end!!

Give it time to ripen.

S'posed to get another foot Fri evening/ Sat morning, but they're getting a break to reset today - hasn't snowed in 10 or 12 hours.....  Plows were out in force this morning (Thur) pushing the berms back & getting ready for the next round.  I think they're awake now, & they'll have a handle on it for a measley 12 - 15".  Most of the Interstates (90, 86, 79) were pretty good on my commute today - wet pavement with just a few patches of "pack ice" here & there.  With all these big highways thru here, they're pretty good at getting them cleared off. 

Biggest problem earlier was it came so hard & fast they didn't have anyplace to put it.  (Can't dump it back in the lake like they used to...)

I think you'll be ok w/ FWD, depending on the timing.  If you get in the neighborhood & have any issues or need anything, don't be afraid to give us a call - 8one4.44O.95four9 

Other than that, I'll put in a good word for ya with The Big Guy - that's about all any of us can do....

A little inspirational photo for all those back east right now...

Feels like 84F.  Bright and sunny.  No clouds in the sky.  Got a call from the wifey after she and the kid left the beach.  He needs some color and vitamin D.

I took a trip to Mexico the last week of October just to sear that image into my brain before this onslaught.  Good news is the project that I'm on is about to wrap up and  this will be the only Upstate winter I have to deal with.  I just hold my gloved index finger up when I need a reminder!

Again, I just spoke with a good friend who lives in West Point, VA (near Richmond) and he said it has been "brutally and bitterly cold" in his area (only in the teens!!!) over the last few days!

Everyone stay warm...stay inside...STOKE that fireplace...and Happy New Year!!

One of my co-workers is from Albany.  She talked with her Mom, who is still on the family property.  7F brrrrrrr...... She was born raised there.  Move to Hawaii via Annapolis.  DeBeer family making baseballs/softballs.  She and the husband are happier in Kona.  84F.

I'm north of Albany and it was -12 this morning. It is only +4 right now.

Sincere thank you for the offer of Hospitality. Heading out from seacoast NH at 6 am. Expected to be -2 F at that point. That's 4 degrees warmer than it was this morning!! Woot!! Hoping for smooth sailing.
