15 inches of snow in Jerusalem and for the first time in 100 years snow in Cairo.

Love it!

Have a friend who headed to Israel yesterday for Christmas.  He was laughing at us over the weather we will endure while he is gone.  Can't wait until he returns  ;D

Fired up the tractor this evening to move some snow during the heat wave.  Now here is something I need to remember every winter and that most people don't talk about:  We all think about gelling fuel, but when was the last time you heard complaints about hydraulics?  Plugged the tractor in at 6:00am, and it popped right off at 6:30pm.  However, had to run it for half an hour before the hydraulics would operate, and it took another half hour of use before it operated smoothly.

How long does it take to warm up ten gallons of hydraulic fluid encased in a ton of cast iron?

Don't know, but if you call me next July I'll tell you if it has happened yet.

You should try to warm up a 2500 ton capacity hydraulic press with a 1600 gallon fluid tank. That baby will moan and groan for half an eight hour shift before it smooths out and quiets down. If the ambient temp dropped and stayed below 60 for a weekend, it was hell on start-up Sunday nights.....and for every 5 degrees below 60, it took twice as long. I finally convinced them to let me design a oil heating system to maintain operating temp when shut down......which is what I was working on when circumstances beyond my control intervened.

Our weather guessers went from 0-6" yesterday to 10-14" today...

Shovel ready, salt available, weak mind and strong back a necessity!

Went to bed last night with 5-6 inches of fluffy white stuff figuring it'd be a nice easy shoveling in the morning...

NOT!

Changed over to rain and froze up to about four inches of ice...  Fuggin' New England weather...

Oh well!  I needed a workout today anyway, an hour or two and it's done!  Helped the elderly folks across the street as well!

But we missed the freezing rain that went south of us.
