Yup, same here in the Hudson valley. Just rain & sleet, no snow. Did shopping yesterday so a good day to stay home & lay low. Not a good day to be on the roads. And yes the coffee has been on.

Good morning. Snowing hard here. My boys are out building a snow fort and I am in charge of breakfast.

Woke up with no water. Found out water treatment system stuck in backwash mode and ran my well dry. I shut the pump off and bypassed the water system, gave it a half hour to recovery and we are back in business. I still need to figure out what is wrong with the treatment system but at least we can flush the toilets again.

Morning all!

Thanks for opening the door D! A water outage is the worst. Glad you got it fixed Rob.

Yesterday they forecast a little sun in the morning, then rain all day. Now the forecast is bright and sunny high of 45? :what: :o

Stay healthy, happy and safe everyone!

Yo Ho,Crew! An uncharacteristic dustin' of snow,and that's it for round one! Supposedly more "Ohio White" called for through the "Magic of Lake Effect" throgh the next few days... Eh,why not? Seed & Nursery Stock Catalogues make for great traditional reading this time of year. Although much has converted to being on Da' Web,it's reading nonetheless! Setting up for the coming fishing season provides for some amusement too! With that being said,always follow Freddy's Sage Advice and don't forget to "Hug Your Loved Ones"!

now we need carpet and the 3 year project is finished( It wasn't supposed to take this long but for some reason it did! :oops: ), The last project for the weekend is to do the 125,000 mile service to the transmission, transfer case, and rear differential in the Toyota, but like always I'm sure there will be more!

I like your new avatars FF and Freddy they look good, Ok friends have a good one and stay safe.

Late to the house fellows. Got called in to work, real mess this morning here light dusting around 6am then roads got packed and turned to ice then about two inches of snow on top. Sideways in the plow truck all morning. Weather people missed this one. Not much else to report in on. Hope everyone has a great weekend!
