I'm hoping for a bit of snow here in Shenandoah Valley, Va so I can try out our new EGO battery snow thrower.
Past several weeks weather people have promised us some snow, but it turned only to rain and some sleet.
Not looking for "feet", but 3-5 inches would be nice...

looks great ! I wish someone would come wash my rangers now
I wish I could take the credit on my own but ... Kate wanted to do a rinseless wash of her car and I offered to hook it all up.

The hose bib was shut off and drained in the basement. The pressure washer was inside and the 75 feet of high-pressure hose blown out for the winter. Since I connected everything back up I thought why not take advantage of it?

Now the inside ... yuck, what a dusty, sandy, and wet mess that is! So glad to have Husky mats, the other day I actually took a small towel to sop up all the standing water! =D

I just rinsed, soaped, and rinsed again. No rubbing. But I did like rinsing the undercarriage. We don't use much salt here but they do use that godawful beet juice stuff on the roads. =p

Also Hwy 14 (goes right by our house)...........impassable and road crews have been pulled off roads........41Spur US MARC USDA RD impassable.........we're bogged down here!
This happens often up at the cottage - the highway runs parallel to Lake Huron, up on a bluff for much if it, with nothing but flat farm fields between the lake and the highway. Blowing snow off the lake and drifts so high the snow plows are called back to the service yard.

Roads in town get cleared but it’s often bad enough to close the highway for days. The grocery stores can’t be re-supplied and they soon run out of important things like milk, eggs, bread, or worse, wine and beer. Stay inside Brian!

I know you would!...........you've already got lamb, carrots and taters cookin' so maybe take a rain-check this time!
Would love to see more of Nebraska. I was in South Dakota on business and made a short detour into Nebraska as I was heading from Sioux City to Deadwood. I wanted to check it off as a state I had visited. All I remember is a double-decker bridge with one level going north, the other south. I stopped at some random park and took my mountain bike out of the rental car and went for a short ride. I also had a checklist of places where I had mountain biked.

I was there maybe an hour and really didn’t see much. ☹
