Now for the bad news snow report:
A couple of you might remember that last night I posted about finally getting my antique Bobcat running and clearing all the snow in the driveway and making paths to the shop, barns, and homestead cabin. I had it where bare ground was showing in most places and the greatest snow still in areas where I cleared was, at most 1/4". Because my driveway is about 50 feet wide in front of the garage and 20 feet at the front gates, I clear it by going across, back and forth, so I build a wall of snow on both sides. That wall was 3-4 feet high in most places and 6 feet in others. But we had clear ground everywhere we needed to walk (or drive come next week and shopping day). Last night, as of 10 PM, the NWS forecast had us cloudy today, but no snow at all in their guess. This morning, I woke up to a small blizzard - snowing heavily with winds 35-40 mph. NWS, at that time, changed their forecast to brief snow showers with maximum accumulation of 2-4 inches. By the time we went out for morning chores, there was already 6 inches in all my cleared areas and some drifts in the path to the barn over a foot deep. By evening chores, there was 8-10 inches everywhere with drifts 2-3 feet deep. Except for seeing those walls of snow down either side of the driveway, there was no indication whatsoever that I had ever spent 3 hours clearing snow yesterday. And the temperature at the moment is -3F, so the Bobcat will not get started again for a couple weeks (when it gets above freezing again).
Now, tell me again how much it costs to move to Peru...
Maybe just GA? If we get a half inch of snow, they close everything and nobody goes anywhere.
