With weather like that there is only one answer - make hot coffee and spend day in workshop.

Funny, doesn't look like you're finished to me!  ;)  :D ;D ;D ;D

Don't envy you that!  Most of ours melted off last week, but now we're dealing with single digit highs.  Oh well.  It keeps the riffraff out!

I just moved back to Michigan after living for 6 years in Tenn.  I will gladly take a couple months of Cold and snow vs  3 months of 100 temp, floods and tornado's at the drop of a hat.

Back in '88 my job in the Detroit area came to an end.  Another company offered a job, with my choice of Minneapolis or Seattle.  Didn't take long to make that decision. Sold the snowblower and left.  I've never regretted moving to Seattle.  Yep, we get rain, but I don't have to shovel it!
