Here's a shot of our home taken from my shop. It's about ten degrees and windy.
I have several cameras that surveil the property.

35 this morning, haven’t seen the forecast yet but we are supposed to begin our warm up today. High maybe around 50, sure hope so.

My wife is having her second cataract surgery today so that’s the main event. 11:30 check in time so that fractures the day as far as accomplishing anything else. Other than bopping over to Idaho for some cheaper gas. :D

35 at 9:40AM under beautiful Carolina Blue Sky .... they are calling for a high today of 50 followed by an overnight low of 28 ..... our area dodged some pretty strong bullets from the major storm that raged all around us yesterday .... don't know how much but we did have a substantial, badly needed, amount of rain .... our temp has most certainly dropped with the passing of the storm front .... first up this morning was to take our 10 year old son to "track out camp" .... at some point today we need to haul trash and make a run to Walmart for meds and groceries

It is very peaceful except for the Turkeys, Deer, Squirrels, Waterfowl, and an occasional bear.
Sometimes in the Summer we sleep with the windows open and at dawn the birds are deafening.
The biggest problem is the new fawns always roam around our yard eating my wife's Hosta's.

Extreme heat in the south and extreme cold and snow in the north. Huh, must be March. :roll:

Warm here at 44 this morning. Nearly out of firewood so no fire this morning. We have some colder temps coming later this weekend so I’m saving what I have left for that. High today around 60 and for me and my golf buddies the golf season starts today. Not starting until 1:00 due to my wife’s follow on dr appt after her second cataract surgery yesterday. She’s doing great.

I’m still snowed in and have to snowshoe the 300 yards down to the road where the van is parked. Glad I don’t have to lug groceries up the hill. I stocked up before the storm hit.

33 at 9AM under a mostly clear sky with a few scattered high clouds .... forecasted high 49 falling back to an overnight low of 29 .... no rain today .... a warming trend with some rain is said to be on the way for this weekend .... this time of year significant swings in the weather patterns that move through our area are very common .... I'm looking forward to the time when spring weather takes control and stays around for a while .... only thing I know of that will take us away from home today is a grocery run to Walmart

Were you losing traction? Maybe consider getting chains for the rear wheels, I have them on my Cub Cadet and it can handle quite a bit of snow although not nearly that much. When we had our big snowfall a few years ago I could plow about 10 feet and then had to get off and clear the snow in front of the blade, then do another 10 feet. Once I made one complete pass I could take a much smaller bite. It took a long time and I have a much, much shorter driveway.

I’m not stuck or wasn’t at the time. I can usually get out by using the bucket as a pushing force backwards by rotating the bucket. Time is my friend here and all I have to do is wait a few days. Highs are in the 40’s and 50’s and lows near and above freezing.

Man, that’s a lot of snow.

No snow here and it’s currently 49 and overcast. Supposed to be cloudy but warm and dry today. Played golf yesterday in Spokane and the weather was great. Might get out and clean up pine cones, needles and broken limbs from the wind storm we had several days ago. Would have done it sooner but right after the wind we got serval inches of snow covering up the mess.

Our older dog goes to the vet today. He had a split on a paw pad a month ago and is starting to limp a little bit on that leg. Hopefully nothing serious
