Snow

[Uncle Jimbo]

Woke up to 8" of new snow in the yard and it is still snowing.
:shock: :shock: :shock:
Got some shoveling to do this morning. :cry:

[Mica_Hiebert]

I want snow and seen more that a skiff this year

[William Yanda]

Here in western NY its sunny, calling for a high near 70 and an overnight low near 50. In December, no less. Last week I took pics of 1) motorcyclist, and 2) roses in bloom at the dentist's office.
Enjoy your solid precipitation.

Here in the `thumb` area of Mich. this a.m. it was raining, temp is mid 50`s (was 62 yesterday)! Two weeks ago I had over 12" of snow in 1 day, it was gone in about 3 days. Being both old and arthritic I can take this winter weather.Robert

In central Mich. we have, I kid you not, dandelions in our front lawn 2 weeks before Christmas! Little yellow flowers and a few puff balls. I even killed two (count em! 2 mosquitos) while in the garage casting this last weekend. Messed up I tell you.

Recall as a kid I used to raise money for Christmas presents by shoveling walks. Been several years since that would have worked for todays kids.

[Ithaca Gunner]

Haven't seen a flake yet this year, which is odd, we usually get a flurry or dusting in Oct/Nov.

[MrWolf]

You can keep it. Cold and damp do not play well with my neck and back.

[trapper9260]

We had alot of rain the weekend and this morning have some flooding also.Could not cross one creek that I need to this morning.

[MaryB]

People are still fishing from boats in MN...

[Steve77]

Ice fishing is going to be rough this year. Not sure I can float my spearing shanty out there.
Me and the kids are bummed.

[jsizemore]

Long range forecast in central NC for Christmas Day may have a low of 70 in the morning.

[Hick]

Here in Winnemucca we had our first snow last night-- all of about 2 inches. This time two years ago it was -25 at night-- so far this year we haven't even made it to zero.

[Uncle Jimbo]

Well it is still snowing here, got 15" now and suppose to snow all night. Shoveled twice today and sounds like I will be doing again in the morning.
:cry: :cry: :cry:

[Mtnfolk75]

We have 9 or 10" on level ground here, had snowfall on Friday morning, Saturday morning & again this morning. Hellacious winds over the past 2 days, drifts are in the 20" range, high today was only 23.6* after a low of 22.1* this morning. Now 20.5*, looks like it will be another frigid night. FWIW, we had 18-19" during November and already 13-14" this month, last year we only had 43" all year. Maybe El Nino is really on the way, I miss the 180-200" annual snow totals of years past .....

[Uncle Jimbo]

Stopped snowing early this morning. Only had to shovel once. Didn't measure it but here are a couple of pictures.

[Plate plinker]

[runfiverun]

did I hear someone needs snow?
it's layin all over the place here,,,, help yourself, bring trucks ,,,free, free, free.

[dragon813gt]

It was over 70 at home yesterday. I'm in the Rochester, NY area at the moment. I was standing on the shore of Lake Ontario in a t-shirt yesterday afternoon. No wind to boot. You can keep the snow ;)

[runfiverun]

I was in south Texas yesterday.
flew into Wyoming [barely, and no my arms are not tired :lol:] then drove home to Idaho. [185 miles]
the drive took longer than the flight,,,,,,,,, a lot longer.

No I live in northern Utah. Snow is not unusual here, just thought it might be interesting to some. Just a lot of snow in a short time.

[Sweetpea]

No I live in northern Utah. Snow is not unusual here, just thought it might be interesting to some. Just a lot of snow in a short time.

And that is why I love Southern Utah!

[Minerat]

Woke up to 5 inches and by the time I got the snow blower out we had 8" with a 15 mph wind. Drifts in the driveway 2 feet deep, boy I love my snow blower. At 740pm it is a balmy 17 deg and 97% humidity and time to clean the driveway and front walk and skip the "from Vagas" drivel on TV. It is supposed to be nice tomorrow 34 and sunny.

[MaryB]

Been so warm here I have barely ran the corn(pellet stove burning shelled corn). Needs to be below 30 or it drives me out of the house on level 1.

[Doggonekid]

Jimbo I'm right in your neighborhood, and I wish I was in sweetpea's. I live by a bunch of widow ladies. I clear my home plus 5 more. My back is so soar it hard to work my lube sizer.

[tryNto]

And that is why I love Southern Utah!
And we aren't fairing so well just a little north of you, We have 14" in the yard at the moment.

[Lloyd Smale]

I'm in the upper peninsula of Mich and with all the rain weve got my yard is starting to green up again. Were finally suppose to get some measureable snow today.

dusting of snow, but a cold snap so maybe the mud pit of my yard will freeze finally!

Hope so. Mud is not one of my favorite things.

[winchester85]

another 4" this am.

right now, a little before 7pm, my thermometer shows '0'

going to be a cold morning on the job tomorrow. hopefully the compressor will run!

[MaryB]

In between construction all fall and doing antenna work with fresh dug tower holes my house is a dirt pit. Now that it is freezing I can finally mop less often! Need to de-mud my hiking boots that have this inch of dirt on the bottoms form the last bit of tower work last week.


Hope so. Mud is not one of my favorite things.

[Minerat]

MaryB,

A little trick for getting mud out of boot treads, especially waffle stompers. Take a 12 inch section of double bit ax handle or other suitable hard wood club (have a fish killer bat in my truck that works too). Lift foot, beat bottom of boot till mud falls off. Switch boots and repeat. the more the mud the easier they are to clean. Result clean boots that you can refine using a boot cleaner. Side benefit is when the asked to do something you would prefer to not do, you can claim your have sore feet (from beating them with a club). :bigsmyl2:

Seriously it really does work well. I picked it up when working for the Forest Service.

It hit 57 here today after being 27 on Thursday. Got a love Colorado winter to summer in 24 hours.

[MaryB]

lift a foot? Bend over? Hit said foot with nerve damage? Fall on my face from the back damage? :shock:

lol I take them off, let them dry then beat them together outside. But with the construction I had the guys using the bathroom and they did not bother taking boots off so I have floors that I might get clean in another week or so... Now that it is colder and dryer in the house I can mop the hardwood and not have it soak up water and turn into a buckled mess. Need to sand it all down and refinish it one of these years...

[Minerat]

Well Mary we all have out crosses to bare. I can see how having no feeling in the foot and a bad back could put a crimp in my idea. Always wondered why my left foot felt worse after attaching it with a ax handle (nerve damage too).:veryconfu I think I'll try the taking them off trick next time.

Wishing you a Merry Christmas.

[John Guedry]

I had to get a few items at the store this morning and found my truck A/C isn't working.:cry:

[dragon813gt]

It's 70 today and will be the same tomorrow for Christmas. It's going to be warmer on Christmas than it normally is on Easter :screwey:

[MaryB]

I have to run my stove at camp with the window cracked if its 30 or above. I like the fresh air anyways and the wood is free.
