We had some freezing rain last night, but not enough to cause power-line issues. It changed to snow early this morning and it has snowed all day. We've got 9 inches so far. Mail isn't even going in some places.

I wish everyone that this storm is going to affect to be safe and prepare yourself for this storm coming. I have been pretreating the roads here and fed up this morning. Check all your generators to make sure they are functioning it looks like it can be pretty nasty.

Best wishes to everyone who has the responsiblity to get out and care for livestock. Sometimes the best policy is to feed 'em plenty beforehand in a protected spot and then leave them alone until the storm passes ;-)

What do you mean by "pretreating the roads" :?: Does that mean you put salt/CaCl down before it starts snowing :?: :?: :?:

Nice and pleasant here in Fl

Shhhhhhh! We dont' want to rub it in :idea:

Not bragging, but temps in the Black Hills are supposed to get into the 40's and 50's today :hide: Won't get out that warm here but likely get above freezing :banana:

Back to normal temps tomorrow and chance of snow :roll: Anything on the right side of 0 is fine with me this time of year

snowing 100mph here just got to get in it gonna check the cows then see if I can see some yotes to shoot. Something bout snow, 4 wheel drive and a gun makes a hillbilly be foolish.

100 mph winds should make for some real trick shots too.

It even looks like we could get quite a bit of snow here in TN!! Be safe everyone and go get your bread and milk!!

You guys DO HAVE COWS you know!.. or at least I thought you did

Got a little ice and a foot of snow. Cows looked pretty rough with snow and ice on yesterday. They are dry now thankfuly because five is the temp tonight!

I can take the cold, but the wind here blowed like a brimmer bull all day long and it was 34. Wind chill had to be in the single digits. I know you boys north of here are used to worse, but for us today was a system shock :lol2:

I have to admit I get a perverse chuckle outa the whole thing . If it's Andrew, Ike or Rita it's a hurricane that blew through the south. If it blows through the Northeast it's "SuperStorm Sandy" ! The bare minimal hurricane.

about 40F here today, things are melting and getting muddy.. even had a spot of sun

Nesikep, I've got two questions for you.

1) What's a hot day in your area?

2) What's does Nesikep mean? Or represent?

We put down a salt water brine on the state roads before it snows.

I think he once said it was the name of the area where he lived.

SHOCK and AWE guy appears to have been driving too fast for conditions.

Most definitely.. I wonder how much crap he tore up underneath on that ride.

Looks like he got it in reverse, so I guess he hasn't broke his gear shift cable yet.

:lol2: The spot that's at is not a place to play around in and he found out quickly. Its coming down a hill and curvy.. .Speed control is your best friend.. Just because you have a jacked up truck and mud tires doesn't mean you can speed...
