Perfect timing...

I called our propane supplier and told her our tank was down to sixty two percent. I asked her to have the route driver stop by and top it off on his next pass through our area. No rush, we just wanted to be ready for the first snow.

"Call when you are down below fifty percent." She said. And she wasn't nice about it.

I told her to put in the order or I would call the GM and have him do it. She was not happy, but she did it.
Our driver came by Monday and filled the 500 gallon tank. He said he comes by our farm every monday... and gave us his cell number. "Text me directly, and i'll come by... I can add a manual ticket." He also said he has had numerous complaints about her attitude. I called the boss and let him know. If he doesn't know, he Can't fix it. He thanked me and said there was no reason we had to wait...

It started snowing at noon today...
I took this on the way out to the shop a couple hours ago.

I took these on the way in a few minutes ago. Note the ice buildup on the hand rails. That sucked.
It's still snowing, those big fat slow falling flakes, that if they continue... make a nice deep snow.

Tina had a craft show tomorrow. These weasels will probably cancel if it snows all night, not because the show is outside, but because they will cancel the PARADE they counted on to draw the turnout for the craft show.

Good for you. I just topped off the wood stack in the garage from out back. No snow here yet. Supposed to be early am start. I've still got the mower deck on my tractor. Had hoped to mow the leaves next week before taking it off and installing the cab and blade. I did get my walk behind snow blower gone through last year. So it's ready to go if I really need to move some snow. I don't think this one will warrant that.

beautiful pictures ..... add the snow Dave has falling on this forum and you could end up with a significant accumulation ..

I heat with natural gas so my tank is always full.

Those are neat pictures.

at 10:00 am this Saturday Morning...

It's a slow steady snow and the temps are mild, so the snow isn't piling up deep, but it's still sticking. We still only have about three inches. It's pretty though, for a change. By the end of the Winter, we'll be like. Geez... snow again... can't wait for Spring.

Supposed to get into the 40's tomorrow - I bet it's almost all gone by tomorrow night...

Probably.
I thought it was beautiful. So quiet without the truck traffic off in the distance... and the slow falling snow was calming in itself. Whoosah.

But it will probably kill Sunday's parade attendance, which was to be the big draw for the craft show Tina is attending today. (Sunday, which I thought was Saturday.)
