That snow acts like insulation to help keep your house warm 😆

Get your snowshoes on.
There is plenty of time to make up for it, but we've had an incredibly mild winter here in Montana. After last winter, we (especially the elk, deer, pheasants, sharpies, and turkeys) needed a break.

I'll take our winters over our summers, but it might actually be cold here a total of three weeks per year.

Oddly enough, the drifts aren't near the house too much. Those
pics are on my deck/ramp. The ramp runs along the side of the garage.
The furnace is working over time. It's dammed cold especially with the
wind.

No snowshoes of skis. I don't think the knees would take it.
This is the 1st real snow we've had this year. Last year was pretty mild as well.

I'm just the opposite. The winter was 1 of the reasons I stayed in FL for almost 35 years.

That was with the old Dodge & I never should have tried to get out anyway.
The snow was above the bumpers & that's with the hauling package setting
\the truck up higher. I did shovel my way out though. As a general rule, I
don't make the same stupid mistakes twice.

As deep as the snow was that year, most, if not all, trucks would get stuck.
My neighbor came over with his F250 to plow & got stuck. Had to have his
Dad bring over the backhoe to pull him out & plow.

There is going to be a blood moon & a full lunar eclipse tonight so I went
out & shoveled the walk down to the road so I could try to get some pics.
It was 11 degrees with a strong wind so the WC was probably zero or lower.
I was only out for about 15-20 minutes & dang near froze!!!!

I'M TOO DAMNED OLD FOR THIS ****!!!!

My neighbors son stopped by & will be plowing my drive later today. He's a
pretty good kid & has helped me a lot with his backhoe.

A week ago this past Tuesday, I called my fuel oil guy to fill the tank. I had
plenty but I wanted to get it filled before the storm. The delivery guy came
out that Thursday but had very little so he was supposed to come out last
week. I called this past Friday & he was supposed to call back. He called
Sat. before the storm & is supposed to be here tomorrow. He has a problem
now in getting through the drifts to the tank. The best he could do is go
along the windbreak & then across to the tank next to the house. It's his
problem cuz I ain't shoveling him a path!!!!

It is but not near as bad as a lot of other areas. I feel for those folks but
then again, they deal with it every year.

We got a total of four inches 3 days ago and that is the total for this winter here so far, we got 98 inches last winter and it stayed for 3 months, looking at 40-50 above this coming week so maybe it will be gone.

Hey fellas, it's been hell here in the Miami area to, front blew through yesterday morning with the first rain since Christmas. Power to over a 1000 customers was knocked out while I was having my first cup of Joe. Had to break out the fuzzy underwear this morning with 46 here. Funny as some locals are wearing parkas like it's above the damn Artic Circle, while the snowbirds are in shorts and flip flops. A real goofy picture!

I don't miss what you all are dealing with. Stay warm!
