Re: Winter weather
Indeed, I'm still hoping for a bit of really fluffy snow, the snow of 2 weeks ago was also too wet and heavy for the snowplow to get it through by steampower alone. And I'm a bit too optimistic about the power of the little steamers, since 4 inches of wet snow is a really heavy bit of plowing. In real life you'ld need a rotary for such amounts..

Re: Winter weather
In Virginia we are getting the cold, but no snow - yet! We have already had -13C, and later this week we are due for -16.7C, which is pretty heavy duty for the sunny South, and most of the past week has seen lows of -10C. Only one day with a daytime high above freezing in the next week here in the Valley. Snow might actually cause it to warm up a bit in these parts. The two walkers who seem to go past first off every morning when I am out with the dogs passed comment that "it is a heat wave this morning - double digits Fahrenheit!
So the question is... who has been doing deals with ice giants, or is Scunny going to win the Cup?

Traffic Pattern? What pattern? Spuds out; grain in, but cattle, sheep and passengers are a lot less predictable.

Re: Winter weather
-15C and the wife was out on the porch piping in the New Year. Now it is a couple of whiskies to help thaw us out!
Happy New Year everyone!
