I'm right under the second R in Rochester. We got the rain all night, then some nice snow between 5 and 6am, and now we'll have that "wintry mix" all day that can't decide what it wants to do.

Same old Rochester weather I remember from 20 years ago

It's worse. If I wanted cold and rainy winters, I'd move to the Pacific Northwest. I want snow. We're 35" below our average for this time of year, and on pace to be below 100" for the fourth year in a row...something I don't think has ever happened before.

Funny guys...No yard work this time of year. Maybe moved a little snow twice with the tractor this season. It's been warm, relatively. A couple inches freshens up the yard for dog business. Edit: Warm January, no snow and the ticks were bad.

Clair said she no longer wanted me to shovel snow (not that we get very much on the Eastern Shore of MD) so I bought a small snow blower. Guess what Yup so far no snow

I no longer wanted to move snow so I moved south. Left the shovels behind so If it snows here I’ll just wait a bit for it to melt.

Did you rebuild the outdoor boiler before you fled? I remember a leak. I am sure you are glad to be done with the wood pile.

I had the leaks taken care of but was going to build a new boiler until I lost power in my shop for nearly 4 months due to the last car/barn accident. I used the boiler up until about 3 weeks before we moved out (ran out of wood). The new owners wanted nothing to do with the boiler, wood, saws, splitter or anything else associated with wood heat.
I’ve got a fireplace in the new house but with the weather down here it’ll cook us if we fire it up. Maybe if there’s a long stretch of cold I might light it up but until then I’ll just enjoy the weather I’ve got.

Morgan ketches are a nice cruising boat. The main and mizzen masts are shorter as compared to a sloop like mine, making the sails easier to raise but I see he has furlers. I use my 20v Dewalt to raise my main. Anyway plenty of sail plans available on a ketch. Love the wood in the older Morgans.

yeah the outside takes it hard however the inside is beautiful... he keeps it in good and safe working order... and its huge inside fore and aft births and heads, and the main cabin is not crowded at all...

I remember my Dad joking when my Mom and Dad moved to Florida telling the story on how they settle in Vero Beach. He said he tied a snow shovel to the back of the car bumper drove down 95 and the first person who asked what it was would be where they would settle.

John, thank you very much for you purchase, as I would be happy for a snowless winter. I am quite content in having my snow shovel gather dust!
