Snow Snow!!! One last storm?

You should have known better. It always snows when you take off your blade or blower. It's all your fault it's snowing out.

Well I didn't put it on until the end of January and we had no snow up until the February 13. Go figure. Right now we are at about 8" here and snowing at a rate of 1 to 2 inches per hour. Think I will sleep-in in the morning!

Hi all:

Be carefull what you wish for. NY etal is not the only place to get deeep drifts here is 17" of snow with 50-60 mph winds can do. Why I am thinking a reg backup snow blower vs a front pull some of these shots are only 20 miles away from me

Pat thanks for providing the snow pictures! Really tough looking area with all the snow and drifts. It reminds me of the great Ice Storm that hit New Yorks several years ago and power was out for weeks in many areas. Just seeing all of the telephone poles on the ground makes one wonder just how they get everything back up and running.

Interesting, I live near Tabor, Texas and we never see winters like this. Am I glad of that.

so far we have about 17 inches here in ne PA. I just finished getting the tractor ready after driving abd getting stuck w/ my 4x4 tahoe. I guess I should have taken the tractor to work! I feel like a kid on x-mas morning...Ican't wait to to get started. Hopefully I can make a little $$ on the side after i'm done playing on my driveway.


Have fun, remember don't eat the yellow snow!

It';s 06:30 AM here in NS and we have about 2 inches of frozen sleet on the ground with rain to come as per the forecast. Windows on the east and south of the house are covered with frozen sleet.

I've got some good books from the library and a fire to stoke. That should make my day.

Morning Egon.
That type of weather makes for good brush pile burning,but than again warm home and quite time sounds better than get burnt and soak.

5:55am,looks like 12" of snow and the sleet bouncing of the windows...hark what do I hear,another plow and salt truck coming near.

Thomas, with our nice steep driveways and steep road out front about all we could do right now is slide downhill.

And Ooh -- my second cup sits in front of me!

Egon -- That sounds like a stay at home with a good fire going sort of day! Still, sleet is better than ice...

It looks like we dodged a bullet with this storm. About 18 inches overnight and while it's still coming down at a fairly good rate the heaviest part is past and there's no way it's going to amount to more than a couple of feet. Plus it's cold enough that the snow is light and fluffy, not that wet and heavy stuff we often endure this time of year.

Cheers! Pete
