Here is a beautiful video of a train plowing after the last snow storm at Donner Summit, CA.

Waiting to see if we're getting snow or rain here. Didn't get much last year so I figure we're due for some 1st class Nor'easters this year got the snow blower gassed up ready to go.
I see there is snow on Mauna Kea now, just next door to you.
There is no difference between communism and socialism, except in the means of achieving the same ultimate end: communism proposes to enslave men by force, socialism—by vote. It is merely the difference between murder and suicide. Ayn Rand
December 17th and we are on our fourth snow cover of the ground the other three melted away . About 4 inches fell today the forecast was for less snow.
When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.
I have no idea how much is on the ground now but this week we got 16 inches more. I am sure glad I own a skidsteer.
How is Harrison these days? I left in '82, came back to visit a few times but can't say I really know the place anymore. I remember it used to snow usually by the end of October.Originally Posted by firefly1957

What can six US gallons of diesel fuel move (in a Kubota tractor)? Friday we got about 13cm (~5") of the wettest, heaviest snow I can recall; it was followed by about 18 more centimeters (~7") yesterday. My wifehad cleaned off vehicles after Friday dump, and I snapped this photo using iPhone yesterday -- she had just started on my truck.
We experienced the MOST "weight" damage ever -- two rail fences broken cleanly by fallen branches, and a HUGE limb on southern lot put a crimp on my snow-moving. (I'm a bit "scared" re driving to camp: ~21 km (13 miles) distance as there are acres of Plantation Pine -- surely many branches on these came down) The temps hovered at ~ 0*C -- quite warm (?) -- with it now minus five degrees Celsius (~23*F). ...and "winter" starts in three days...

I've never been up there to see the snow.
not yet. they say its coming here in 5 days. seems its just starting to get cold here at the edge of the smokies. but my feet sure feel better today wearing insulated boots
The ice cream guy came through, managed to snag a SnoCone!
Got back power under 24 hours ago from an 8 inch storm. Lasted for 25 hrs no power. That good enough?
I am not sure what to tell you the town of Harrison has probably shrunk overall some new businesses have moved in but more businesses have died!
We did get a Tractor Supply Company Store this year ! Local government is still poor Sheriffs department can only keep two cars on the road at a time at the most! A October snow is still common so is a August frost !
The DNR is messing up fishing and hunting state wide more and more I wish I would have left Michigan on retiring !

Up here in the North West portion of the Great White North we have, but a skiff of snow on the ground on the valley floor. It has been really cold and sunny for the past few days (-20C at night). Christmas weekend it turns warn with rain in the forecast. It looks like New Year's will be green this year.
It's been a while since I posted here. Still above ground. To all of my friends here and folks I have yet to meet on threads.
Merry Christmas to all and the very best in the New Year.

Its been months since I bought the book, "How to scam people online". It still has not arrived yet!

Hope to see a little bit of snow for Pa flintlock season day after Christmas
Wow, I'm sorry to hear that but I guess I'm not surprised.

It should be an interesting week coming up for us. Currently it is 24 degrees (11 AM) with 5 inches of snow on the ground and tonight down to the low teens. On Friday is freezing rain to turn everything outside into a sheet of ice followed by a couple days without electricity. Then the "Pineapple Express" (aka atmospheric river) hits with several days of 50 degree rain not only bringing several inches of rain but melting the feet of snow below 2000 feet off our mountains. I may have to build an ark quickly. This is life on our piece of paradise. Enjoy the show on the weather channel next Monday.
Wife and I went out for breakfast today, I didn't wear a coat. It will be in the high 69s here today.

Although serious cold snaps here in Florida have been on the decline of late, in the mid-70s my Dad bought a Fisher Grandma Bear wood stove. Through guile and cunning I managed to latch onto it. Probably as a result of my first winter in Jacksonville when we had snow on the ground for three days over Christmas in 1989 and Dad thought I needed it. Have hardly used it in the last couple years but I just completed a thorough inspection of my chimney in preparation for the low to mid 20's expected this coming weekend thru Monday. Heat pumps don't exactly keep you toasty when it's down in the 20's and using those electric heat strips is just plain crazy talk.
Dad's been gone now for over 25 years but most certainly not forgotten. Thanks Dad...

Here in Central NYS we got a foot last week but this Friday is supposed to be crazy. Started out around 50 and 1” of rain and the day ending around zero with -20 windchill and 40 mph gusts. Be safe out there.
Enjoy!
I would not trade my bad weather for your 69 degrees.
Your political climate sucks compared to mine.
I do wish you could have both though.
Merry Christmas!
