I'm getting wussy as I age and generally do not shoot when I have to shovel snow off of the range tables and chairs. Up here, the first snow going into winter generally lasts until the last snow in the spring as it never gets warm enough again for any of them to melt. So I may not get the opportunity to retest the loads I made up until next spring. There is always a remote possibility of a rogue warming spell, but long range models are calling for a repeat of the record setting winter we had last year.

Boy I Hope Not! I was down weeks on two occasions for power.
My saving grace is that I don't have any Black Walnuts from my walnut trees. In 30+ years the trees only lied once to me. In all other cases, if we had allot of walnuts we had a big bad winter, medium nuts ='ed a Medium winter, Low amounts of walnuts means a low winter. And this is year shows "NO" Walnuts, at all. But then again we don't have any apples either, which is from the stress the trees experienced from the last Bad-Boy Winter! Maybe this is the same problem for the walnut trees??
