#5 Gas generators filled and test started for barn and bunkhouse electric.
Propane burners set for barn heat and water troughs.
Cetane added to truck, tractor and diesel storage tanks.
Trees downed last winter trimmed, cut, dried and stacked for the fire pits.
Bulk propane tank for the big house topped, generator oil changed and unit test fired. Heat mass propane fireplace, warming.

#16 This Friday (12/23) we're looking at 8-12 inches of snow, 0F Temp/-35F wind chill and 25mph winds - gusting to 45mph.

Again, it's called 'winter' in the upper Midwest.

If I'm lucky, maybe the high winds will blow the loose snow (it will be pretty 'dry' at those temperatures) off most of my driveway.

But it will probably just collect the immediate township's total accumulation and dump it next to my garage.
