It was 30°F and damp this morning. Windows were frosted this morning.

Got about 2 inches overnight.

snowing here as well......winter is here

Bet all the eform form 4's crash the ATF servers Jan 1

The snow that we got yesterday was NOT the storm that hit Shepp. That storm is coming in for tomorrow. The forecast is for 6-8" so it looks like I'm putting the plow on the truck. I'd rather have it on and not need it than need it and have to put it on in the snow.

Another small batch of Lapua .223 brass to prime this morning. Gosh this is getting to be fun. Whatta Hobby!

Wkrp from Cincinnati 💯

Something about never asking someone a question if you don't know what the answer is

It should free up some people to proccess the paperwork. Last few years it's been 10-12 working day from email sent in to getting email approval to print off. Which is ironic in that my government will take several months to renew a firearms licence.

Perfection

I doubt that we even got an inch of snow. Then the temp' came up and it started raining. It's pretty much all gone now. The deck had a trace of slush hours ago but even that's gone and the deck is just wet. I hate this weather; the cold and raw. I'd much rather have -20. Last I looked it was approx' 38 degrees and by the morning it's predicted to be in the low 40s.

Great price for a Colt 1911. Nice acquisition.

Looks great brother. And who doesn't love chicken fried steak and eggs with gravy?

Yep. I've filled these out every year ever since hooking up for the Arizona meet-ups. Before then, I was even more of a hermit/society hater.

Just cold and rainy here in the 'hood' Maryland suburbs of DC. Around 30 outside but nothing really freezing over yet. It was about the same when I left the Martinsburg (West Virginia) house early this morning.

Hope you all had a great day! spent the day in a cabin in the back hills of western Tennessee, kinda didn’t want to leave. Especially After breakfast at the diner Friday morning

Yeah, that's more than I want if I have a choice. I know that I don't. I think it's related to your storm but in a very muted form. For storms coming from the west the mountains of VT, NH, and the mountains of Maine generally get more than we do due to the altitude. They get dumped on. By the time it gets to us in the foothills there is reduced accumulation. Generally. Hopefully for this one too. That doesn't hold true for northeasters that come up the Atlantic coast. Sort of "Lake Effect" but with the ocean instead of a lake. Last I heard we were predicted to get 1-3". For me that's not plowable. I just take the truck and pack it down. As long as it doesn't melt it gives me a smooth surface for plowing my gravel driveway from then on. Depending on the weather I keep my plow feet a few inches down (raises the plow) to keep the snow and ice layer maintained. If it stays cold I raise them to lower the plow. Decades ago I loved the cold and ice and snow. But that all changed with age. It was nothing for me to go snowshoeing and get really close to moose yarded up in my forest, but I haven't done that in years. I couldn't for years. Now I can but I have no interest. In the time it took me to write this the snow has stopped after giving us a dusting. No doubt it'll start again. I hope not but this is typical of our first storms. Fingers crossed.

If it’s the same storm that just blew thru here you’re going to be plowing

Rimfire ammo for the KIDD SuperGrade. I need to digress. I bought a case of SK Match Rifle this past spring and haven't shot even one round of it yet (surgeries and healing - it's been a year of body work- aging isn't for wusses!). Also got in CCI Uppercut and Mini-Mag segmented. I was given a box of Tac-22 to test. And I have CCI SV yet to test. Now I'm waiting for warmer weather to put some lead downrange in a very controlled manner. Oh, and more ammo coming it. The rifle can only shoot as good as the ammo it's fed and I've limited it to SK which is entry level match grade ammo. I'm a tightwad because I must be. I have champagne tastes but I'm on a beer budget. But I did take advantage of black Friday deals and ordered some top grade Eley. Not much since the really good stuff is expensive. Waiting on spring to shoot that also but it'll arrive in a few days.

Our first snow of the season is expected starting some time today, none yet and I hope that continues through tomorrow. My kind of snowstorm! I like the other type that comes down in liquid form too. Just as long as I don't need to plow it.

Cold, windy, and raw the past few days. Not at all enjoyable outside.

I have a love hate relationship with it lol. I put all mine up last weekend knowing this was probably coming, but didn’t plug them in till last night lol
