We're Ready

The first big snow storm of the season is predicted to hit here a little later today.   
And we are ready for anything it brings. 
 Our equipment is ready too.

If we get a dusting a broom will be sufficient.


An inch or two would require shoveling



A three to four inch snowfall and a snow thrower would be the tool of choice.



Four to five inches would require bringing out the snow blower.


Six or more inches of snow fall, would bring out the plow attached to the ATV.


Bring it on, we are ready!!  
The larder is full and the generator is ready. 
 We are hunkering down for the day.  
I have a little sewing to finish, and then of course our beloved Packers have an evening game 
at Lambeau, against Detroit.  




And that's the way it is...................

  2. Sewing and watching the game sound like good choices for your predicted weather! John will be watching the game, too!

  5. HI Muffy...Living in Maine that sounds like a nice tuck in day to me...there is something about a snow storm that sort of makes your world stand still, and you take time to enjoy the little things in life!!
    We haven't even had 4 inches of snow from 3 storm so far, but I imagine any day now!! I used to do the drive way myself with the blower, but now I have the neighbor boys who have a plowing business do it : } , but still have to shovel the decks!! At 68 it help keeps you in shape!! ; )
    Have a great day!!

  10. We are similarly prepared although I haven't heard about an impending storm. My preferred method of dealing with the snow is packing my bag for points south.

  11. Wow, are you ever ready! We never get as much as you, so the shovel or snow blower will do it all. I don't think we're getting much this year -- it keeps getting warm. Glad to hear you're hunkering down.
    Peace,
    Muff
