y'all need to stop your whinning, this is what I'm getting tomorrow......

* Hazard types... heavy snow and blowing snow. Snow may mix with
sleet across south-central Vermont.

* Accumulations... 6 to 12 inches of snow... falling at a rate of
1-2 inches per hour.

* Timing... snow will begin by the pre-dawn hours Friday... then
fall heavy at times throughout the day. Snow will taper off
Friday evening. Strong north winds will bring blowing and
drifting snow Friday afternoon through midnight Friday night.

* Winds... north increasing to 20 to 30 mph with gusts up to 40 mph
Friday afternoon and evening.

* Visibilities... near zero at times in heavy snow and blowing
snow.


And I am expeting eggs to arrive from Wynette tomorrow! Wish them luck!

That's the price ya' pay for having the worlds' best syrup on your breakfast goodies!

Yes but Tillamook is close and it has butter, cheese and ICE CREAM!!!!!

I guess that explains my inexperience with real syrup... (I don't get out much)

Yea, but even Wisconsin can't beat a baby loaf of Tillamook Cheddar. I love my Marans...Cuckoos, not so much as they are hatchery birds...but the ones I've been getting from Pink...they are the start of a whole new program. (new pics soon)
