Default Snowgasm 2016

Last time we had a big snow storm in Feb 2015, I was stuck in the hospital helping my daughter be born. This year, I have plans to head to the Poconos with the family to enjoy the snow. I am excited, but I fear my driveway will be a nightmare when I get home.

I'm stocking up on beer tonight!

I was lulled by the warm December and didn't mount my snow thrower on my tractor when it was warm. Now I'm doomed to doing it in freezing weather. The past just keeps repeating.

Great idea, the driveway can wait.

I dug out the snowblower last weekend, it even started! I hope that means it sits unused in the garage this year.

Yes you do! New Belgium frequently has seasonal beers that it only release for two consecutive years. This is the 2nd year of Accumulation which is a fantastic white IPA. Time is running out on it possibly forever. They had a spring seasonal called Dig in '13 & '14 and I missed it dearly in '15.

A close second for a great Seasonal White IPA is:

L had me do an inventory of the TP locker (40+ rolls) so I guess we're ok.... as long as it doesn't get to bad

Made a G&T run over weekend so set for almost anything

Sweet, go big or go home.

The creek froze overnight, of course the bubbler is in the shed. Come on spring.
