What are you doing right now?

Well weather channel took back their report of 13 inches. Said they meant 3 inches that’s more believable lol. I’m still inside bored as heck but at least I have all these movies and deodorant and a dog to keep me company I guess. I tried to take Dixie my dog outside to play in the snow. She turned her head and looked at me with a disgusted look when we got outside and she stuck her paw up for me to shake, got her treat and came back inside where it’s warm. Hopefully by tomorrow we will be able to go somewhere as long as it’s safe.
 
Exactly 2 hours later and about another inch.

My wife calls me this morning, our 2017 3500 6.7 would not start. It would barely even turn over. Weather network said only -37c but we usually sit colder, so likely into the 40s. Turns out they accidentally only plugged in the 6 amp battery tender, not the block heater. She looked at the monitor and the battery was floating between the 50 to 75% mark. Sounds to me they weren't accepting much of a charge.

She got the block heater on and after an hour it managed to come to life. Its set to hit -19c today so maybe things will thaw out.
 
fired up the toro 721e
it does ok in upto 13" of fluffy,
but the plows finally woke up and there was 15" of the plow-dough snow by the road.. wanted to get it before it refroze as its 14f currently.

Driveway was a breeze 6-12" with drifts

end of drive was a pain .. but there is usually only 1 storm a year I wish I had a big 2 stage snowblower..

Also did about 30ft of the road-side before my drive so hopefully the plows dont slosh it all back in first trip past.

genius with bald tires got stuck on the flat.. then had a jeep-bro push him all the way to top of the hill..
its about a 5-6degree hill.

I’m sitting here eating some Reese’s peanut butter cups and just chilling. Thinking back to my school days of the excitement of snow days but nowadays it’s just another day for me lol. They said most likely open late Tuesday if at all because there will still be ice because the temperatures won’t be warm enough for any treatment to work. It’s freezing rain right now or maybe it’s sleet not sure.
 
Now I wish I had some Reese Big Cups! I always have them at my house but I didn’t bring any with me for my two week stay here in Niagara on the Lake. I’ll have to make do with my Double Stuff Golden Oreo cookies, which I put in the freezer (that makes them taste better for some reason, just like how I put Reese in the fridge for 20 minutes before I eat one) 😃

I tried the caramel one once and wasn’t a fan. In fact all of the other flavors of Reese where they put different things in there don’t work for me. The worst one was a Big Cup with peanut butter and potato chips inside. Next worst was Reese Pieces inside
