How's everyone doing with the SNOW

[Gary Fowler]

My wife still grumbles every time the weatherman says "possibility of light dusting of snow". Yeah right, it was 68F a couple days ago and high 40's on the cold days. I like to see the white stuff rather than the dead grass and bare trees. I leave a few pines for the winter greenery effect. We usually get one or two snows of 4-6" each year, but I don't think we will this year.

In any event, I don't have to plow snow so it is nice to see and a welcomed sight in winter.

I found a 78" International 3PT snow blower on CL this morning...e-mailed a reply. Hopefully the seller will call or e-mail a response.
This one has hydraulic chute rotation...the only reason I sold my Woods blower is because it didn't have hydraulics. Well, it wasn't QH compatible either. Great snow blower though.
We seem to be getting nuisance snows this winter...all 1 or 2 inches. If I can't find a snow blower, I'd be fine if that's all we get this winter. I put off looking for a snow plow last year...paid for it today. I chunked up a pretty fair sized (maybe a couple square feet) piece of the asphalt drive way this morning when clearing with the bucket.

Lots of snow last night indeed. Around 60cm

I started plowing at 9:30am and finished around 7:00pm
My yard, my sisters and grandparents. Solid start to the snow count.

First plowable snow tonite. 4-6 inches projected.

We got a little at Thanksgiving, but it melted off after a week or so. Was only 3", perhaps. Nov & Dec were very warm thanks to El Nino, other than that storm. It turned around Xmas and into Jan. We got a good 8" in one storm, and then another 3-4" (or maybe I have those reversed...not sure). Not much since then but it has been very cold the past week or more. Today was really cold down into the -15-20 range (F) overnight and only -5 or so during the day. That is typical for Jan, but I was hoping we would have a really mild winter for once...We got some nice weather, but Jan is still Jan, it seems. Supposed to break later in the week, so we'll see how it goes from there. I think I have plowed 4 times total so far. About the same as all last year. We were quite cold but not much snow last year.

What is this "Snow" you speak of?

You might also know of it as "alligator repellent"!! It works great!!

Yesterday we got snow, but it didn't amount to much. I was unloading some wood from the truck when the game camera took this:

It is cold today, we hit 2.8 at 07:05:00, right now it is 9.1. The temperatures are from my homemade weather station using Dallas 1-wire sensors and software that I wrote.

Like to see some snow, but I wouldn't want to clear the 2/10 mile driveway in this temperatures with my open works station.

4 inches, maybe. Barely worth moving.

I think Waxman put the whammy on us. A big one might be coming this weekend, Elizabeth!
