Hah, reminds me of a guy in the Scottish Borders near the village of Leadhills. He was the only guy with a snowplough on his tractor and he had a contract from one Local Authority to plough from the village to the boundary. The neighbouring LA paid him to plough from the boundary to the next village.
As he put it, "I'd have been going down there for supplies anyway, so it was nice to get paid twice for the journey."
.
This pretty well sums it up.
Yep!
Snow blower finally showed up yesterday.
Put it together today and took it for a little test drive. It works, cord not a big problem just have to remember that it's there.
It doesn't look like it did much in front of my truck but it did ok. The snow there was almost a foot deep, that's where I had shoveled a lot of snow too. Most of the snow came down over a week ago. It had melted a little, settled and formed ice under it.
Tomorrow when I can get both vehicles off of the driveway I'll clear it off.
Snow far I'm happy with it.

Sunny and upper 50s going to be nicer tomorrow in the mid 60s. Probably will take a ride been awhile since I’ve rode in December in Colorado
Mikey
got muscles in his head that ain't never been used
Unfortunately no choice today.
That there is an impressive bit of real estate! I'm envious.
We're at that time of year, dark and miserable. Dark till 8 am, dark again at 4 pm. Official sunrise today 8:37 and sets at 15:38.
It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon and I'm sat here with the light on. Need a light on to do anything any time of day in December.
Not particularly cold, blowing a gale as usual of late, occasional flurries of rain rushing through. But dark and miserable.

... so seven hours of daylight. Pretty grim.
-6 C*, 21 F* in Montreal, snowing off and on, sun up @ 7:26, sun down @16:10. Not much better than the Scottish Borders, considering that Montreal is on the same latitude as Lyon, France, Venice, Italy and Portland Oregon.
Also in canada .... but north western Ontario... I started a walking routine after a knee replacement 4 yrs ago now ... 5 km per day every day and it is had it's biggest positive effect this time of yr , just getting out during daylight hrs and getting some of that natural vitamin d.
sun light deprivation is a thing!
Up to 0F this morning with a pleasant W breeze at 8MPH.
2 wood stoves 24-7 til it warms up again.

We just don't get that kind of cold here. Zero or minus C happens but 0 F or less pretty much never.
Sometimes in the Highlands it goes that low. Record for Scotland is -27.2 °C (-17.0 °F)
here's what we have from today to the 22nd. The Cold snap that hits in Jan to Feb .Have to see if I can find the OLD pic of my thermometer on the outside of the living rm window that read 53 below Zero F. BUT iT'S A DRY COLD.

Dang compared to you it was positively warm here this morning.
-10F (-23C), Wind Chill -27°F (-33°C)
Did 3AM stove feedings and the living room was 71 when i got up.
Horses are alive and moving, but I wouldn't say they look happy.
Lots of hay being burned.
Warm up coming Tuesday.
The field at the rear of me is occupied by two donkeys that have no frciking shelter. It's not been sub-zero so far, but it's not been very warm either.Horses are alive and moving, but I wouldn't say they look happy.
Somebody already reported them for having bad hoof care and an SPCA woman turned up about six months ago asking if I owned them, mine being the closest house.
I only occasionally spot the owners turning up to leave a bale of hay, haven't a clue who they are.
FFS, if you own a pet donkey, look after the fucking thing.
