    Angry No Lathe Time Today

    Spent 3 hours shoveling this morning!
    Minus 26C with Minus 38C Windchill!
    Shouldn't have to walk by daily 6 miles on the tread mill today.

    Les, here at the west coast of Norway we now have + 5C, rain and a little storm. All snow are gone and we have little ice back on the road shoulders. Would you like that?

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    Les nice photo's, all that hard work shovelling would make you sweat off anything.
    Like the barrier you created car one side workshop the other.

    Don't think I will swap. I like the weather where I can go to the shop most times of the year without any artificial atmosphere required.

    We are waiting for the storm to come up from the south(GA, SC, NC) to hit us with a mess. Hope I don't have as much to get rid of as you did.
