We are now running on a new, and hopefully much-improved, server. In addition we are also on new forum software. Any move entails a lot of technical details and I suspect we will encounter a few issues as the new server goes live. Please be patient with us. It will be worth it! :) Please help by posting all issues here.

You won't see it unless you're looking for it... It's a Glock while wearing black pants (what I wear for work) and a black jacket (because that's what I have). I don't have a pic...

You guys can blame this wonderfully deep snow on me, it is all my fault!!
I just sold my 2006 Polaris switchback 900cc Twin, Fuel injected, long-tracked (144" track) deep snow machine running at 158 HP.
In the last 3 years I have accumulated less than 1,500 miles on it, most of my riding was in the Kewenaw Peninsula in the U.P. while out boondocking and tree riding. I had a deep-snow sled, we got no snow, I sell it and we get hammered with snow!
So now that I do not have a sled capable of riding deep powder, I am quite sure we will be up to our asses in it for the next 3 years!! It looks like I'll be wearing my nice warm snowmobile gear while clearing snow with the Bobcat today.

The power came on 2 1/2 hours ago while I was shoveling. It had been off since about 0000.
I spent the morning learning that I need chains for the ag-tires on my tractor. I got the road from the house to the out buildings, tractor shed and sugar shack, plowed but was a little stuck twice before even making it to the driveway.
So, after lunch, I shoveled enough of the drive to let neighbors checking on us know that we're OK.
I'm done, d-u-n, for the day. I think I'll have some ethanol based anti-freeze.
I did not carry my pistol while shoveling. MT holster, yes, but no 1911.

No heating problems.
We use a propane gas-log, normally, for ambience and to take the chill off in the early AM. Main heating is electric baseboards - subsidized by the electric coop. Without electricity it works fine as a convection heater for all rooms except those isolated by shut doors, the bedroom and bathroom. Don't dawdle in the bathroom and we don't heat the bedroom in any case.
I have a woodstove/trash burner in the garage that melted a big bucket of snow-water with which to flush the toilet, the 20 gallon pressure tank out lasted the outage. I made morning coffee, on my Dragonfly backpacking stove, to go with cold cereal. I re-heated frozen split-pea soup for lunch with ham and cheese s'wiches.
There is a pot-roast in the oven for dinner with roast veggies. My nose tells me that, I haven't asked about the rest of dinner.
I have an empty water-glass of Cavit Pinot Noir beside me and I'll re-fill it at least once more.
And now I need to go out to the garage and stoke the trash burner.

I did about an hour on the Bobcat today, just enough to make a path around the buildingfor our storage unit renters.I broughtthe dogs outside and had a blast playing in the snow with them. Imagine getting tackled by 2 German Shepherds about 75-80 pounds each. I am unsure of which one of us had the most fun. I think I did?
Then we went to the casino to piss away some time and money, just ate a cold meatloaf sandwich for dinner and I plan on the next 2-3 hours on the Bobcat again due to the blowing and drifting we are seeing.
I brought in 3-4 days worth of firewoodtwo days ago with the news of the possible storm.

Here's mine. It's an old digital camera but it has the ability to capture speech bubbles.

So if the snow covers your weapon, is it now considered concealed?
