I do hope everyone is safe and warm.

Town crews on the ball. Snowplow just went by pushing a whole lot of snow. We live over a mile off the main highway.

Safe,warm and buried in snow.

There's a lot of snow out there and it's still coming down. Winds are still blowing it sideways. Hard to tell how much there is with the drifting. Looks to be about 3 feet drifted up against our bedroom and a foot on one back deck rail, 6 inches on the front deck rails.

Glad to see that you still have power, Fran!

 

[FranC]

Thanks Salem. Me too.

Yeah, at least they were prepared for it. I could not imagine living through a hurricane or other bad storm back when they had no warning at all.

 

[FranC]

Given our location they're always ready here. For snow anyway.

 

[FranC]

Holy smoke we have a lot of snow. Hubby's plowing the yard and he's pushing a mountain of snow in front of him.

 

[FranC]

Salem what is your procedure for cleaning T3 heads? I've been throwing them out but decided now to try cleaning them.

 

[markfm]

Where Bov lives, NOAA shows 32" of snow.

 

[FranC]

Yep and thousands without power. I hope she gets it back quickly.

Good morning Fran!

You were asking salem what she does with the T3 base ... and I think she does something in the microwave and a PG soak afterward. I'll let her tell you about that.

On mine, I soak them in vodka overnight and then boil them in a small pan or water. In experimenting, I found that boiling them for 20 minutes brings them out real clean. I let them dry real good and then use them.

Good gosh, don't toss them, they are reusable!

[FranC]

Thanks TT. Ive started saving them but just have 1 so far. I'll wait to have more before I try cleaning.

Haven't seen any from CT yet.

 

[FranC]

Boston sure got hit from the looks of it. We have 18-20 inches. Hubby's out plowing.

Our half plowed front yard

Where are the snow angels, Fran?

Where are the snow angels, Fran?

Got too old for the not to mention it's frigid out.

So happy to see you Fran!! Wow they sure did get a bunch up north!!
We woke up to about 4 or so inches. I'm checking in from my phone so I'm not staying long. Just wanted to check on everyone. Poor Bov, sounds like she really was hit hard with the snow. Hopefully they restore her power SOON!

 

[FranC]

Glad you're OK Tracy
