Winter is here
Well it looks like winter has finally decided to show up.
Wondering which one of you guys ordered this weather? It certainly wasnt me.
I was enjoying the winter that wasn't.
Man alive is it ever ugly outside. Wouldn't be surprised if stuff is blowing off buildings downtown again.
Are you glad that it has turned nasty? Or were you enjoying this spring like weather we had?

As much as I hate the cold, it's great news for the oil patch. We can finally freeze in ome ice roads and get some work done!

Drove to Newell to fish yesterday and seen a sign just outside of Bassano Fire Ban in Effect no Open fires, how often do you see this in January. I like to do a couple of derbys in the winter this will help build up some ice and make it safer for everyone. All our nice weather has definately made it a shorter winter.

Sorry about that , I was the one who ordered the snow  Don't be surprised if we get some more though , I actually asked for 2 feet in my initial request. I have a couple of sleds in the garage that need to be aired out .
Cheers!

Bought a snowblower this fall, hoping i could use it today, but there is hardly anything outside, should have invested in a windmill instead, with a wind direction vane.

I was actually enjoying the winter that wasent here. But as an ice fisherman a little cooler temps to get some more ice going is always welcome , and working in the oil patch it would be nice to get some more work done !

Can't say I'm happy about winter, but when you're in the furnace business, a little cold isn't the worst thing....
