Chicago, Illinois. .25" snow accumulation up to date. Too much rain lately.
Snowblower sales are really tanking this year. Time to go on CL to check out on bargains. CL is loaded with used snowblowers/snowthrowers for sale. The same one's keep being posted week after week (or every few weeks) so it would be a good time for bargain hunting. I've been seeing machines that were originally posted for $ 450.00 now being offered at $ 350.00 or less. All it will take is one good storm (or threat thereof) to get things moving.

Really behind on snow this year, 2 little storms , 6-8 inches , but after each storm , it got warmer and rained, taking away the snow. This is unusual for New Brunswick, Canada. for this time of the winter, no snow anywhere right now. But last winter we got most of our snowstorms in February --------

Well, I'm kinda like this weather. It's been warm and rainy. No snow and freezing weather means no salt to attack the roads and my car paint, which also means no pot holes to swallow up my wheels. As soon as I say that, I'd bet we'll get a big dumping soon. :) OK, bring on the snow.  I got 3 snowblowers and one month old gas waiting for it. I know it's bad to tempt Mother Nature, but if it's this nice lately, can I at least get some green grass.

A friend of mine is an x-navy-seal and lives in a farm. When I informed him of my brand new Toro 1028, he laughed and commends: This year you’re buying it?! You won’t need it this year; you should have gotten it last year!! So I asked why??!! Because he can read it out from his “horses” and other animals. Every year before winter they grow them self’s hair which acts like a coat to protect them from the cold. Last year; they grow bigger than average long hair. = last year’s big snow winter. This year; they only grow very tiny hair!! Well below average = Summery Winter… According to him and his readings, he suggests one of the 2: Or a real warm winter, or a crazy natural disaster. So far he was right… We got the early October crazy snow storm AND its 2012 with no snow…

2000 years ago there were no weather predictions?
I understand the today’s modern way is phishing money into supper computers, But some time the plain old fashion way gets left behind… Fact is fact, the horses predicted and exactly this is what’s happening in reality!
