[HamGateNY] It's Snowmageddon! :)

[Brian Webster]

My location received about 21.5 inches of snow. Others around me were as high as 41 inches and common totals from 24 to 33 or so were numerous. No real issues here, taking this time to work on my packet node and BBS system. Fires are burning and its warm in the house. I do need to go out and clear a little snow off the room where melting occurs, just to minimize the ice and water runoff that will happens in the next couple of days. Still waiting on my plow guy to show for my quarter mile long driveway. I have no places I need to be so that is fine. 

Yesterday in preparation for this storm I went out and started the snowmobiles for the season. 4 running and available for transportation if needed. I might go ride around the house a bit later in the fields. It's still deer season around here so the trail network is still closed until that is over.

Thank You,

How is everyone doing after last night's storm?  Down here in NYC,
Staten Island received about half of what the Bronx received.  With
the high winds, drifts are higher in places than what actually fell.
As things settle down, you may notice some problems with your coax
and/or antenna.  Take the time to check things out both physically
and electrically.  Make use of your antenna analyzers and SWR bridges
while moving the coax around, especially around the connectors.  The
key to a fully functional system encompasses all of the aspects, from
the signal to the proper configuration of the software and networking.
Let's all help each other to overcome obstacles, lack of information
and any negativity from others. :)
