Yep....any helmet needs airflow to keep them from fogging. A breathe deflector helps a little. I never had any luck with the anti-fog liquid you apply to the inside of the visor either. Get a heated visor, and wire up a 12 volt plug into your snowblower

...........all clothes in the dryer.........ready for the next round later tonight.... Wind really whipping it up here, so most of what I cleared will be filled back in... Oh here then.............one last one from my street looking back toward the drive, gives an idea of the height of that berm, but clearing it out now is less getting dumped back into my drive when they come'round again...

HA, decided I would put on a mix of snowmobile clothing (older retired gloves and jacket - new Cat boots...) and for the first time, my motorcycle helmet!! ......Well, that sort of worked, until the front shield clouded up within a minute!!! Up it went so I could see again!..........here is my little blower, all covered, but plugged in and at the ready.....

No snow here guys but over 2" of rain. Hang in there. Like the music videos Mike. Going out for a hair cut at 11:30.....the only plans for the day. Day two of the Atkins Diet. Need to lose 8 pounds....quick. Concerned about Chuck.....has anyone heard from him? Steve is a shortimer now. Moving day right around the corner.

Stay home and get plowed.

I haven't heard that one before, might try it someday. My snowmobile visor is heated, so I'm usually ok there. On a motorcycle I just crack open the visor. On the race track I might make a duct tape wedge to keep the visor open slightly. It's a fine line though, you sure don't want the visor forced open while at speed, which can happen if air gets underneath it.

snow seal works great....preheat your oven to the lowest temp . place your boots in oven ..after 10 minutes pull your boots out and apply snow seal..repeat this step 3-4 times your new leather riding boots Will broken in and waterproof ...

That's an interesting tip Mike............ My actual snowmobile helmet has double paned windshield.. All these helmets have great ventilation, the one in the photo has actual 'defrosters' and a switchable inlet right in the chin area. Again, only good when moving!

I'm getting some of this, even though mosquitos aren't on my mind with our current 8 windchill

....here, beginning my back walkway........picture out in the driveway almost done at this point......getting rid of the first round of plow berm from the town guys.......

I see you are ahead of me Mike in the snow removal detail.........I am about to enter 'round one' here, into the blowing madness! Updated photo at 12:30pm. eastern... .........and my coffee will still be hot when I get back in... I will try to get photos too!

If we got 10% of that amount of snow they would shut down everything for a week. It does look nice from inside, guess I shouldn't complain that it feels cold outside with a high of 60 today and deadly low of 37 tonight.

Hey there Mark/......................You know, it was only a few weeks ago that I ran the AC in my suv !!! That was the first time PERIOD that I actually ran AC in February ! Now, those temps look nice, and it won't be long before we are into the hot and humid stuff once again! Just poured another one of these on this blizzard day..

WallyWorld 5Bucks +or-, stock up NOW!

snow blowing round 1 done . 2-4 inches an hour starts in 15 minutes...

Re-sized and ready to upload. Short sleeves and Skeeter spray the rule for the day

Morning gents Coffee sounds good right about now, and it would be, had i plugged in the pot Impending weather may require the use of A/C yet again today. Our weather drama people lie, always on the low side, they say 78, count on 80+ Time for that DAM Coffee to be perked Ya-All know what day it is.......

Gary.....I would walk past the snowblower and get out the snowmobile instead! WAY more fun, that snow will be there after a ride

.....snow on deck update photos..........9:10am............more later..... MUST get the coffee started! Ceptor, I will get the little 'snojoe' electic blower fired up when it gets to about the 6" mark.... It worked out really well the past couple of storms we have had...

Speaking of coffee, our Bunn BXB Velocity Brew coffee maker cannot brew more than 8 cups of coffee without the grounds overflowing the official Bunn filters. Some slightly larger basket filters (not Bunn) are better. Full disclosure, we use a Cuisanart burr grinder set to "fine" to grind whole bean coffee. We prefer coffee black and strong, and have found that any grind other than "fine" produces coffee that is weaker than we prefer. What do other Bunn Velocity Brew users find regarding filters and coffee strength?

...Screen shot of the 6am. weather from our local station......... Watching the TV, and the closings continue with ALL BANKS closed as well as our State Offices (Boston) !!! Mayor and Gov. have also been on the broadcast asking everyone to stay off the roads... Here is a screen shot.............I am going back to bed! (more later....)

Good morning everyone................ Thanks Ceptor..............here we are shortly after 6am. Sent an email to my company Pres and VP let then know I am playing it safe.. STAYING HOME! I will post more throughout the day....

Good evening Gents Cobb Salad, evening news. Just fired up the A/C for the first time this year. Haagen Daz waiting, rough day........

Just back-in from walking to the house, 35' enduring 80 degree temps, and now this!,Disaster! There is NO worse impending doom than to get a Zipper Stuck! Dam Man!

This has been around. According to Snopes, it's not really a Presidential Limo (note the mags) or Secret Service training. Nonetheless, the driving is amazing.

Hey Mike....let us know if you run short of coffee. Cabin fever would probably do me in. How does Gia like the snow?

URI about done, tooth extraction healing. First day I've felt okay in a while. Thanks for asking Carl. How do you locate/pm members now? Want to send Chuck a message and see if he is ok. Maybe just bored with us Haven't had the bubble started in a week Getting down to 26 Thursday morning

OK, about to leave work and have my 1 week check on my toe nail removal. It made me think of others who've been fighting issues. How are @Tarheel and @BigStewMan doing?

when you get hurricanes and flooding ... I won't be crying here ...

I use do that when going snowmobiling..20 years ago..I had the breath deflector

Time to do the cooling fan mod to your helmet.

As long as it does not taste burned I'm good. I make it and leave it sit with the burner off and cool. I noticed when I make a cup and get distracted and come back to it room temp it seems I can taste it better ? Hot, cold or room temp, i'm good.

Johnson & Johnson baby shampoo works well for fogging.. just rub some on the inside and polish it off...

I like that term.

Whimp!

Thanks M... I am just enjoying the indoors now............hmmmmm what to do.... I suppose all my FB friends are posting photos by now, maybe check on that.......I STILL have more coffee left to drink (I know most people here will not touch it after a while sitting on the burner.......BUT) I may be one of the few that like the flavor after it has 'cooked down' a bit too.... ok...........one LAST gusty - snowy wind shot out on the deck a minute ago.... I will deal with the snow here at some point...

round 2 will start soon.. the car port with snow

You go Gary MKP :-)

I think some amps can't produce bass as well as others is more the case.

Breakfast served Sent the wife off to feed the indians Time for a Siesta....... And on another note, already planning to hook up with my Fav drinking buddy on St Paddys day!

it doesn't repel snow.!

have your burr grinder here !!! time for coffee

oooh, now she's starting to stir things up !

Morning there Mark! Sorry about the coffee 'no plug in'...... Snow still piling up, wind also...........but 'Stella' ain't fully here yet.... Chuck, no.........those are the 4x4x8' posts for the hanging plants and the ambient deck lighting, they are anchored to the railings.. I think you have seen the summer photos... The deck is the most stought deck in our neighborhood actually. The posts that support it are all triple 2x4' into concrete, the main carrier beams are TWO sandwiched 2x10" ... Stainless steel square drive screws exclusively NO nails anywere.. It is very safe, and because it is only 6' high, we never worry. Record so far, 26 people enjoying a gathering one summer... But, thanks for the concern.........no worries as they say... Ceptor...........I would LOVE to get out the sled, but it has not run in about 9 years now.........I suppose I should pull it over and make sure the engine isn't froze ... I do change the fuel out in it on occasion.. (great occasion that is......)

My snow thrower must be 20 years old, but probably has less than 100 hours. Unless I tape a note to it, I can never remember whether I changed the oil at the end of the prior season, or need to change it to start a season.

Gary....good luck with that blizzard, can't believe winter will not go away. On a side note....we had a half an inch of the white stuff Miner....AC !!!.....we currently have a windchill of 6 MKP....with the blizzard, the buyer might get stranded and that Carver amp will be back on the market

Here's some shovels Gary !
