The End of an Era...We are Shutting Down the Messageboard

The messageboard is now in read-only mode and no new posts or topics can be created. We will leave the messageboard up for historical purposes, but you will not be able to make new posts or comment on existing ones.

We have started a Discord server and hope that you all will join us on there. Technology has changed over the years and maintaining the messageboard has become somewhat of a pain in the butt and Discord offers many features for users, the main one being a very polished mobile app.

We really hope you all will join us on Discord and think you will like the platform. Use the invite link below to join.

I used to have one of those...bought it used on ebay real cheap...sold it really cheap too (compared to new price) Now I have a home-made one as seen in my avatar. Cool to see snow being made!

It was pretty hardpacked in the morning but my mid-afternoon it softened up quite a bit. While were blowing though, it was light and fluffy.

Surprisingly, no one has said anything!



We borrowed the machine and had to give it back yesterday, so no we are not still making snow. But 90% of it is still there. We plan on having some fun this weekend...might even have an inch of freshies on top depending on this storm!
