Making headway getting dug out from the weekend’s storm?
Hope things are warming up at your homestead.
I’m still cleaning up from the storm. I still have to dig out my bulkhead and a path to bring my trash bins to the road for Saturday. Yesterday I was busy with a visit by our grandson so I took a day off and another today.
I’m in central (M)assachusetts (the M is optional) at 1,100 feet above sea level. We got about 16” of snow. The towns around us got 18” to 22”. We lucked out I guess.
Plowing the pathways to all the out buildings was difficult. I wish I had put everything closer to the house now. I’m running out off room to put snow. What I really need for my ATV is a snowblower attachment instead of the plow. Cheaper than a Bobcat.

Can you put a snowblower on an ATV?
Hi there, Early Bird! It was nice and warm here today. I think it got up to about 58° this afternoon with lots of sunshine. {sorry} 😬
Hope you thaw out really soon and don’t get more this coming weekend.

Howdy, Janey! Good to see you tonight. Much air ubering going on this week?
BE CAREFUL if you go outside!! We don’t want you falling and bustin’ yer hiney!
Glad you’re reaching the point you can get out and about a little. Y’all had a mess up there.
I have seen them. Let me dig. Ah, here we go. They range in price from $2k to 5k or even more.

Dennis Mannion recounts the gripping story of his time in Vietnam, the strain his deployment put on his relationship with his family, and the surreal feeling of being back 30 years later.
Comments below the video (please check the rest).
“My history teacher was at Khe Sanh and was wounded there. He was a big part of the reason that I decided to enlist 14 years ago! Always remember those legends!”
“That’s most likely the best Vietnam documentary I’ve ever seen.”
“My father in law was at Khe Sanh. When I got back from Afghanistan he said “ welcome home brother. “ Especially since the fall of Kabul he gas been a great shoulder to lean on.”
“We need more videos and interviews like this. To honor these men, to preserve their stories and document the history. Outstanding doc 🇺🇸”
Ouch! You got a good dose of snow and it can’t be fun digging through it with it so cold up there. It’s cold here but not as cold as up there, and I hate stepping out the door. LOL
At least you didn’t get as much as the surrounding towns. Every inch makes a difference.
I hear ya on wishing the outbuildings were closer to the house. I have the same problem here but it was done long before I ever moved here.
Yes, a snowblower attachment would definitely be cheaper than a Bobcat. LOL But you do have the plow and that’s better than hand-shoveling by miles.
I wish you luck. Maybe you’re getting some already. The storm this weekend isn’t supposed to go that far north from what I’ve read.
And not this far west. Whew! The area of TN I live in got VERY lucky last weekend and missed out on the ice storm. We got the cold, though, and will again this weekend.
Hey there, radu!
Has it warmed up there today? Are you projected to get some of the “nor’easter bomb cyclone” [what a silly term] that they’re talking about coming to the Carolinas this coming weekend? Sure hope not!
It was nice and warm here. The kitties sure looked less stressed when I went out to feed and pet them. Haven’t seen “the boys” tonight, but they are probably getting caught up on their territorial news. 😻
