Let it snow

[Mike476]

That's what the weather forecasters here are predicting too, although they seem to be hesitant to say it will amount to more than 4-6 inches.

What a winter so far, looks like the blizzard warning for today will remain in effect. Not so much about the amount of snow as it is about the type of snow and the winds. With windchill factors near -30 degreees C and winds gusting to 90 km/hr that type of snow can pack pretty tight and make plowing a challenge. Whiteouts caused by this kind of weather create havoc on the road, hopefully anyone not needing to be out will stay home.

Tractor is full, beverages are hot, we're ready.

We have been on the edge of this storm. About 2" of snow, winds have not kicked up much. -8*F now rising to zero mid-day.

9" light snow winds starting to kick up.

:laughing: Moving snow every second day it seems for the past few weeks has gotten tiring for sure.

We're at about 6" right now (11:00am, near the HIAA) and the radar looks like it is getting more intense. I was out and plowed once already.

Yep, snowing here like it has to go and hel* won't have it.. reminds me of our "blizzard that wasn't" last winter, but if anything we have more this time. Went out to feed the horses at noon and it's to the top of me boots already in spots, others are polished to bare ice. Looks like tomorrow for clearing, no cab in my picture just yet..

I think the snow has stopped falling but the wind is still moving quite a bit around. Just in from feeding the horses and the paths have blown in up to my knees. Driveway and road to the barn and outbuildings are all plowed, going out to snowblow the paths.

 

[Chilly807]

Yeah, we've got lots here at the head of the valley.. I'm waiting til tomorrow to move any of it.
