Winter getting a good early start.

One good thing I can say about this winter is it finally got buyers for my scraper blade off their butts. I've had this brand-new blade on Cl since July. There was no interest until last week, then I got 3 hits.
We had a wet snow, that melted and then the temperature dropped 30 degrees and it snowed. Naturally, that's the day a guy bought it and wanted it delivered - on the coldest day in 10 years. Ha! Not today buddy - it's below 0 out there. He wanted it badly enough to come and get it, but I helped him load it. The barn door was frozen to the ground, and it took half an hour to unfreeze it and get the tractor out. I had to get it out to clear the driveway anyway, so it wasn't a huge burden to help him, but couldn't he have looked at the weather report and come to get it before we had to work in snow and ice?

We hit over 40F yesterday and had some rain last night with the temps still around 37F this morning, so I washed my car in the driveway as the salt crud was annoying me.

Earlier forecast was calling for afternoon snow, but that has been downgraded to a small chance and looking at below zero tomorrow.

Maybe my car is going to stay clean for a bit?

It blasted through here this morning. It was 43° at 10 o’clock this morning and by noon it was down to 23. And the wind blowing between 50–60 miles an hour.

What a week. We’re having a replay of the snow-over-ice fun Tuesday. Fifty three degrees and heavy rain at the moment, with temperatures dropping to the low 20s overnight and rain changing to snow.
