Yes we were right on the edge of system. We’ve been getting pretty lucky so far this winter. Most of the big snow has stayed south of us. Lots of cold which I don’t mind if it sunny and no wind. I don’t like the wind. Don’t mind moving some snow, but hate when the wind just blows it right back again.
We’re starting to run out of parts we need to finish up our projects. Still have things to do, but really hoping some of the stuff we’re waiting on shows up soon.
Got the Biosolids spread for now. Going to move stuff back to shop. My snowblower tractor has a problem with clutch linkage. Get that in shop to look at to.

I don't know about down your way but up here if there's not enough snow cover then the ground freezes and if it freezes too deep then that just sets back gardens. So far this year snow cover has been a bit on the low side.

Glad you found it Guy. Good to see you here.
Marc. Around here we say to cold to snow. It always seems like we get more snow when it is on the warm side. When it gets really cold the air gets drier. But the snow we do get stays.
We like it to freeze before we get snow so the fields aren’t mud under the snow. The frost does take some compaction out of the soil to. It can certainly make for a late spring though.
I really like 20-25f. Sunny and no wind.

Up here the coldest nights are always on a full moon and it almost never snows on a full moon. I like winter but we've had many nights in the -30's and that I am not fond of anymore. Also I have found that a good snow cover actually helps with heating our house
