Cute little bugger there...we had over 2' of snow here on mlk day , I don't think it could put a dent in it. big storm coming Wednesday night maybe another foot or more. all the stores are jam packed. it is the end of the world. .

That is going to be one busy little vehicle! Better not fall behind, if the snow gets over 2" thick it might get stuck! Oh it's got chains, make that 4" thick

We are due for rain/snow Wednesday night and Thursday, with lows down to around 12 and highs just at freezing for a couple of days. Will be glad to get it behind me. Down here in the northern Chihuahuan Desert, the apricots start blooming in February.

So do our peaches and for the last 2 years we haven't had any due to freezes.

Last year certainly has a lot of people on edge here. We didn't miss a beat and I'm not sure why folks don't have a little food stashed and a way to cook it when the electricity goes out....but like last time, I think we will be just fine.

That is a cute machine though.

Jim when the Fredericksburg peaches fail to frost, I look for the Colorado peaches, which according to my Granny whose long passed are the next best thing. She used to make preserves every year.

I am not sure what kind they are but we have one peach tree that blooms later and makes large wonderfully juicy and tasty peaches.

Late bloomers are almost always worth the wait.
