Nothing overnight here in Laporte, but Radar shows a little something comming in over the lake now at 6am eastern. Looks to be more of an event for New Buffalo and points north.

Welp sent my plowing bills out for January ....that was depressing lol. But on the up side I haven't had to do any repaires to the truck or plow this season other then replace my block heater cord (dead tired, forgot to unplug it before i backed out the drive lol). And now I got a call from the farmer I get my firewood from saying he is going to start dropping another tree line next weekend, so looks like I get to restock my wood supply for next winter early this year!! (hate cutting wood in the middle of the summer heat)
As for this winter...ya win some ya loose some, hopefully we will get atleast one more good push in before it's over.

Are we ready for this Lake Effect event boys?

Skilling said a band could dump up to 6" if it swings to the right spot and stays. Should start tomorrow around noon.

I was literally this close (thumb and index finger 1/2 inch apart) to taking the plow off the truck to do service on a couple pesky little problems, but gonna hold off for the weekend now.

I'm ready. Plow on, Salter on. Tested and working. Not much maintenance this year to worry about. LOL.

Just fired up the wood furnace and resupplied the wood rack in the house, checked the fluid in the plow pump, hooked up plow and made sure everything works as it should. Really don't think South Bend will be getting much but maybe (fingers crossed) the snow gods will smile on us, ya just never know around here lol.
For those that do get blessed with plowable snow, stay safe out there!!!!!
