Morning came and it was even colder than they predicted. 18.4 below on the indoor outdoor thermometer and 20 below out on the thermometer in the cattle shed. No problems today. Chores went well and everything worked as it should. Plugged the 1086 in this morning when I went to do chores and after lunch I started it up and went to clear some snow.
Heading out looking back towards home in the mirror.
As you can see the roads are clear but the snow piled up around buildings enough to be a pain.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents.
