What do you do when it's snowing?

Well there's this...
 
 
And that was shaken, not stirred.
 
 
Or something to pass the time in between shoveling since the snow blower bought last year refuses to start.   There will be an equally  diminutive base with Modelcrazy's Rufe being the inspiration for the project.

I live in Washington State. Snow is for the mountains. But what do we do when it rains? Same thing we do every other day. Avoid sunlight. That stuff can burn your eyes out!

Cool (no pun intended) little kit. I bought the wife a snow shovel that fits her hands perfectly. I give her a hand and encouragement while she shovels (clap, clap, clap, way to go honey). Seriously, I set the models aside and am repairing/rebuilding my 10 year old snowblower. New drive gears, bearings, drive friction plate and drive wheel.

Our last two winters looked a lot like that....not this yearSad.

When it snows, I go to my local airport and keep the runway and taxiways clear, in case Survival Flight needs to get in or out, in the middle of the night. There's no real problem if the chopper needs to go...but their Citation needs to have a clean runway. Then, when I get home at 5-6am...I get to dig out my place.

Very nice job on that tiny plane!

Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

New England has been pretty lucky this year but the last two years we've gotten hammered. I have to walk my mail route either way. So if the snow is piled high I can't cross lawns. In and out of every single driveway 300 times. And I try to get some bench time

Shovel, but if it's howling and hard to see your hand in front of your face, it's BBQ time!

Hopefully there is a football game or two on the tube during the storm,then it's turn the heat up in the den and hunker down on the couch.

I live in Salem, Oregon where here in the Willamette Valley the winters are usually mild and we don't get that much snow so .... I seek it out!

Although we might not have much snow here we do get a lot of rain which, in most normal years, would translate to snow in the Cascades. We've had very little snow in the mountains for a couple of years so I'm delighted that we're getting a more or less "normal" snow pack so far this year.

Yesterday I traveled about 85 miles from my place to Maxwell Sno-Park near Santiam Pass in the Cascades to do a short (about 4 miles) but pretty hike using snow shoes. Here's a picture from yesterday's snow shoeing.

Great use of your snow-bound time there! I did a little modeling but nothing that cool. Yes

I have more free time to model in the snow season. It takes me a lot less time to blow my driveway than to mow my lawn in summer, and do other yard activities.

"When it's snowing" I work on the bench.   When it stops, work my butt off getting rid of it.
