Thursday and Friday I thought my weather station outdoor temperature sensor was broken, it seemed to be stuck on 33°.

Here's a clip of the local temps from Friday. Looks like a couple of big temperature changes but the range is only 1°.

Here at my location in upstate NY the National Weather Service is saying 18 to 24 inches of snow.
I have a pellet stove and several tons of pellets remaining in storage.
If the power goes out, I have a generator and fuel for the generator.
But most important, I also have an Orange shovel and fuel for it.
Back about four+ years ago, we got a three foot snow event, and the snowplow berms at the ends of the driveway loop were
very close to six feet tall before they settled.
Shoveling out the complete driveway and the huge walls of snow at the ends of the driveway loop by hand would have been enough for at least a few heart attacks.

Well, I was hoping for a little snow. It can make for some great picture opportunities. We got a little rain overnight, and the temp is now 31 degrees. High for today is supposed to be 60, with rain this evening and a low of 45. I'm going to dig out my gloves and a sweater and head over to Magnolia and see if the birds are nesting.

Nice setup. What model is it?

Sun Jan 25 ... 23 (RealFeel 12) at 9:30AM .... the huge ice storm impacting about half the county is passing through our area and will be with us most of the day .... a little snow with a sheet of ice, nothing pretty about it .... so far only one power outage for a couple of hundred homes/businesses .... forecasted high today 35 followed by a low tonight of 32 .... very odd for us to have only a 3 degree difference between our high and low .... looking outside, ice can be seen on plants/trees but none seem to be dropping .... that said, the storm is far from over

It started to snow here about 2 hours ago. It's coming steady, but not too strong at the moment. It was -4 F last night when we came home from dinner out with Mary's brother and his fiance. It's currently 4 F. I filled the bird feeder so they would make it through all right.

@Sir Henry
I have two Kubota BX tractors, the above pictured BX 25 used for snow removal and dirt loader/backhoe jobs and occasionally running a four foot Bush Hog. The second machine is a BX 2370 and that unit has a 60 inch mid mount deck and is only used for mowing grass.
Occasionally, the BX 2370 is asked to move a trailer or two around the driveway or yard.
With the two machines permanently set up as they are, there is almost no implement swapping.
Less wasted time & skinned knuckles.
Here is the second machine.

JHEBar, that picture says it all, looks downright ugly.

Cee_Kamp, nice set up times two (X2). Love the idea of not changing implements.
