Who is excited for snow season? Not us! We're depressed due to lack of snow.

Let me rephrase, in my household, they both will spoil (expire) before being used. And current sunny and 40 doesn’t do much for outside storage options either.

Shady side of the house and milk be fine.
We keep bread on our countertop for weeks at a time with no spoilage.

"If stored above 40 °F, milk will begin to develop signs of spoilage, including sour odor, off-flavor and curdled consistency. Remember that milk should be taken from the store and quickly placed in your refrigerator at home so that the temperature does not rise above 40 °F."

Ok, I guess I'll have to put the chains on. There is a second storm predicted here in the Northeast for Tues into Wed of next week. It's potentially more severe that the one coming this weekend.

Chained & fueled.

According to the National Weather Service, our county is ground zero in northeast PA for Saturday, with more than a foot predicted.

Of course, now that the chains are on, we'll probably get an inch.

I've not put the plow on the 6x6 yet. You'd think that would help!

I broke down and put the blower on. The weather people are calling for 6" - 12".

So far this season we've had about 3 inches, only had to shovel the walks and decks once with about an inch. All nuisance storms so far.

Normally by now we've had 30 inches or more, with at least 3 or 4 plow outs required. I'm sure we'll get plenty of snow in the next 3 months.

Don't worry. I'm leaving work early today to put the blade on.
Once I do that, it will do nothing but rain. I guarantee it.

Forecasting 6"+ of fluffy snow that's okay,but that sloppy heavy snow and looks like we'll have that mid next week.

We got a dusting of snow overnight and more predicted over the day. Will post pics when after i get some.

Seems like we've had way over our quota of wet slop this year and ground is barely covered in January. The stuff coming tonight will be good, Too bad it won't last and will turn into a mess. Makes back road maintenance problematic.

We were supposed to get snow this weekend. The weather people dutifully did their job scaring the crap out of everyone all week that we would get snow so HD could sell thousands of snow shovels & bags of salt.
But just like 9 out of 10 times around here, it becomes flurries or cold rain.

Going out early for necessaries pushed the snow out til midweek. Leave for the Bahamas tomorrow morning, won’t be thinking of snow

Where might you be?

We got 5 1/2" overnight. Not sure if I will plow it or leave it because the ground is not frozen and I hate digging up the driveway. The temps are just below freezing and are supposed to get just above. With that snow cover the ground will not likely freeze and there is a cold snap coming with a bit of snow, maybe 4". If I plow now the ground should freeze before the next snows and if not the ground may not freeze. Oh what do. I better decide soon as this afternoon and I have to go to the airport to pick up my oldest grandson. Finish my coffee and then figure it out, lol.

No snow yet this year. Forecast is for some this week.
Last year at this time!

 

[ArlyA]

Just a dusting here.

Just a dusting here. View attachment 842780

Haha...that would shut down Dallas.

 

[Eagle1]

Haha...that would shut down Dallas.

Same here in southern MO. We got 3/4" and I had to meet the delivery truck on the hwy. He did not want to venture out here. Can't really blame him, steep twisty and wet clay.

I decided to plow the driveway and the area around the buildings. I tried using the front plow but that would keep digging into the ground so I pulled the inverted snow blower off the back and installed the rear blade. Earlier this year I put a round pipe on the cutting edge of that blade, to see how it would perform. I can't believe the difference it makes. I just dropped the rear blade and ran with it. Almost zero gravel / dirt was dug up and it still cleared pretty much right down to the ground. Great improvement. Next year I will make something similar for the front plow. FYI, the temps are just around freezing, so the snow is very heavy and wet. Unfrozen ground and heavy wet snow are not a good combination, lol.

Pic of the snow we got overnight.

Half that amount would shut our whole city down, and probably the STATE!

I'd leave it alone. We're expecting 6 - 12 overnight with an inch of rain to follow on Tuesday. It's going to be a mess for sure. We're in the same boat as you, there's less than an inch of frost in the ground.

 

[Hilbilly]

Too late, I already plowed it. See post #517 above.

Our forecast is for below freezing temps for the next week with Thursday being the coldest at -13C for a high and -20C for a low. 2 days ago they were forecasting a low of -30C for Thursday. Typical weatherman stuff, can't make up their mind and they will probably be wrong anyways, lol.
