In light of my previous post I’ll just add that shortly after I published that post I bundled up and went out to the garage to fire up our old (newly rebuilt last year) snow blower and didn’t get one foot into the snow when I realized that the auger was not moving. Too make [...] Read more »

It’s late evening here in Stove Pipe City and it’s a balmy 4 degrees below zero outside and calling for a max low temp of 6 below before the sun comes up which is much warmer than what it has been (it was 14 below last night). And I just read an article on that [...] Read more »

Such weather we have been having this winter. Not just up here in the Northeast Kingdom where it's recently been more like late fall until a few days ago but just about everywhere else as well.
Michigan getting dumped on with 270,000+ without power just a few days ago, Oklahoma full of ice and snow and [...] Read more »
