How many a you northern buzzards....

After we caught all the fish in the lakes during our 6 hours of breaks!
Actually this winter has been tough to get out on trees period. Snow - damn near every day or two has kept my butt in a plow truck or repairing plows. I still find some free time of course to set some ropes indoors and climb in the shop! I can hit just about all the rafters in less than 2 shots now. Have tried to figure out footlocking - FAIL! The last outdoor climb was cleaning the snow off my roof. Tied into my snowmobile on the other side of my roof and sent the rope over, worked like a charm!
 
We worked today. Well, 11 of us on our crews. Was in the 20's today in the afternoon, but was told it was minus 3 this morning with the wind. Not too bad though. We were working in a wet area so the extra cold help usstay afloat better.

Our crews have been climbing cutting and rigging through it all so far this season. Yesterday was our first bad weather day off in over a year! Twin cities metro saw near record snowfalls and all though I didnt always agree with the decision to go out, I'm happy to say that we all have returned safe! Typical management cutoff decision comes @ -30 F. There was early projections of -40 F. I'm not sure how cold it actually got, but it was a balmy 74 F. in my house!
 
Was a nice balmy -4 yesterday in the am and got up to a wopping 15 degree good day for plowing, wake up this am to -1 now at 8 am it is 8 degrees our high for today, good day for xbox. Had 1 client that has a Norway spruce removal call me up and tell me when it warms up to come over and do the job. Joking I said ok seeya in july.
