SNOWQUESTER SATURN! That doesn't scare you into buying bread and milk?

There's nothing quite as lovely as a nice milk sandwich while watching it snow outside...

Considering what I paid for him (nothing) and how much he gets used (Official Father In Law Hauler), I'd let him go for $5k. To a forum member.

Ahhh yes, but you did not see the beatiful snow did you?

Us snow birds have to take our pleasures as we can!

Looking out the office window this morning. It was supposed to be 3-5".



I wore jeans and a short sleeve shirt today to work. If I still had the Wrangler I would have put the top down.....

I'm hoping its the last gasp of winter. I am tempted to take the blade off my Montero but don't want to jinx myself.

Swamp,

Are you anywhere near Stafford Springs?
A quarry I purchase from in SS is pretty far behind in processing orders. I'm assuming from crap weather, but your photo does not look that terrible.

The big storm of a few weeks ago is probably what set them back.
Stafford Springs is north of me about 20 miles.
We got every bit of 2', and the accumulations went up considerably further north.
And there have been storms with less snow pretty much every weekend since.
