Snow????

[bayjoe]

We got 15 inches Sunday

We have had a dusting in SW Pennsylvania, but nothing to write home about.

I moved into snow country by degrees. Where I grew up in Oxnard, Southern California, it snowed in 1948 and they still talk about it. If we had some hail on the ground, my mother would collect it in a dishpan just to look at it. In my thirties I moved to Knoxville, TN, where a little snow on the ground is considered a national emergency. I once drove home in a light snowfall to find the only known snowplow in the city abandoned in the middle of an intersection.

Now I live in Pennsylvania just north of Pittsburgh. I have had to learn the use of the snow shovel, sidewalk salt, and ice chipper. I don't really mind it that much but by March, I have about had enough.

Looking like it won't be a white Christmas here in Idaho this year. Weird and sad.

It's my fault since I stocked up on de-icer, got the snow shovel and big broom ready by the front door in anticipation of some good storms.

Y'all keep that stuff up there.

Kind of like washing a car here.
If you wash your car, it will rain.
Unless you want it to rain.

Last year in mid November, I got a call from a buddy I used to work with. He was barbecuing steaks in 65 degree weather . . . in Homer AK! they hadn't had a lick yet in November. I guess I need to call him tomorrow and see what he's up to. Back in CO it has snowed quite a bit. I'm out west on the coast near the CA/OR border as the middle daughter just had a son. We get snow on the beach every few years, this may be the year as it's mighty cold the last few days.

We got between six and nine inches here Sunday, was the last day of the firearms deer season so I sat out in it that morning. We haven't had a real snow year in a while, so we're due.

Personally, I could go the rest of my life and never see snow again and be just fine with it. I'm not afraid of it like some and I can deal with it, but it's just a PITA to me, nothing more.

always remember the female newsreader asking the weatherman what happened to the 6 inchs he promised her?

Day before yesterday had the motorcycle out for a ride. It was 72.

We have had a cumulative total of around 24" so far this season. Annual average hovers around 80" but could be 120" one year and 40ish" another. Worst storm we ever worked was 27", started late morning on a Monday and carried through until just about sundown on Wednesday. Our 2500HD lost reverse on the first stop of the first afternoon so we sent our spare driver home and we plowed that whole storm with two S-10s. Had to call in a tractor backhoe to open up some places that we couldn't keep open with the trucks. From the time I got up on Monday morning until we polished off the last of it, in the middle of the night Friday we had worked virtually straight through with about 8 hours sleep for each of us.

7 inches last Sunday night. It's just starting to melt now. I love winter!

What's Snow ?

[Walks]

I've always thought I was luckier then most. We had a Place near Big Bear up in the Mtns East of LA. So My Dad made sure all His Boys learned to drive on snowy roads and off-road in the snow too.
And How to put on chains, oh what a joy......

I woke up this afternoon (work graveyard shifts) and checked the weather forecast.

It is currently 53 degrees outside. In Northern Idaho. 4 days before Christmas. Crazy.

Looks at where I'm from. Should answer your question!

[abunaitoo]

Weather here has been cold and rain.
Lucky not to much wind.
Saw on the news it showed up on Haleakala. That's on the island of Maui.
They say it's going to snow up on Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on the Big Island.
You might have see on the news, the protesters on Mauna Kea.
I hope they freeze up there.

It rained for the last 34 hours and as I look out the window this morning the ground is covered with snow.

[Idaho45guy]

Back home the area got hit pretty good with constant snow the last few days. Supposed to get more snow the entire time me and my girlfriend are on vacation down here in Yuma.

Here in Yuma, it's been sunny and in the 70's.

We are supposed to get 3-5" beginning this afternoon out here near the saltwater on the Olympic Peninsula and continue with up to 14" by mid week according to some forecasts. It has been a "warm" dry winter so far this season so this is our first snow.
