Our storm gave us 10.5" by midnight last night, and an undetermined amount more after midnight. It still hasn't stopped this morning. We already had 30" of snow on the ground before this started yesterday, so we won't be moving around today until we get some serious snow moving done.

And the day after Christmas the fog rolled in this afternoon. At 3:30 it was 24*. Now at 4:50 it is 15*. The sun is gone and the visibility is about 200 yards.

15 minutes later at 5:05 the temperature is 13* and visibility is less than 100 yards. This is not unusual in the Salt Lake valley in the winter when there is a good blanket of snow on the ground.

We had the second most snow on record for Christmas day. The old record was 1916.

At the risk of getting political here,

If Al Gore had have invented the Internet,
instead of INVENTING the money-making
arm of Global Whining (warming) how
much snow you would have gotten?

10 ER, stripped down.
Basic 10ER, Parts machine. Will be a semi-dedicated drill-press machine.
10 ER, a "survivor" of the trailer fire, in the back yard, needing restoration. Has a Mk5 headrest. Finally, stripped down.
Numerous parts, for Model 10 stuff. Except for lower saw guard, A and B adapters, I've got it.

Looking for one more, or some 9 inch extension table raisers.
