Was over a Coleman Peak 1 stove due to the power outage, brewing coffee before I start snow removal duties from yesterday's nasty storm .

Have a warm cozy Thanksgiving evening Jesse!  You put your work time in for the day.

Looks like you had a workout this morning. Nice homestead. Thanks for sharing.                                                                                            Roger

Happy Thanksgiving, Jesse. We got hit pretty good here, too. I was supposed to get out of work last night at midnight, but a coal conveyor went down. A piece of head pulley lagging came off, bound up in the head pulley, and tore apart the belt splice. We had to drag a bunch of equipment to the top of the bin and make repairs in the storm. We finished at 3:30am, and then I was up clearing snow this morning.
Anyway, I just pigged out and we're sitting by the fire relaxing. Feels good to warm the bones!

Sorry you folks had weather issues to deal with.

Sorry you folks had weather issues to deal with.

For us here on the north east coast this is normal.

 

Kind of like the heat you guys deal with down there

Wow, before I saw that, I felt like I put in a decent days effort.
I hope your dinner was reward enough for diggin out from under all that stuff.

Sorry Kenny? Ahh, no need for that, I look at it as recreation. I had a good time plowing with the Allis today. Trees were folded over and the tops of some of them were touching the ground. The scenery was incredible! I wish I took more pictures, but I was too busy.

That's a rough morning, Jesse.  Did your power ever come back on?

We got a good dusting of snow but nothing like that.

Roads are very icey. Wife and MI are out shopping. Told them to be careful and watch out for other people on the way home. At least it's only 20 miles away.

Not too bad, Ben, i usually spend 80 % of my life outside and alone regardless of condition so for New England, this is normal, i live in the orchard or old storage building, were my office is, i take life as it comes regardless.

My father use to take me winter camping in my youth, use to hike and camp just to get away from everything, mainly people and live on the go following jobs and exploring different states.

 

Surprisingly the power came back this afternoon, then Westhampton at 3:30.

That looks like a pretty heavy duty snowblower. What brand? Gravely?
Happy thanksgiving. The only snow we got her is a dusting tonight. We shall see what I wake up to tomorrow morning. Unfortunately, I doubt it will be another 5 feet.

Beautiful pics, thanks. Only about 2" snow here, but -30 this morning with a wind.
