Woke up this morning to 6 inches of snow. This is a big deal for this far south. Good planning on me for gas logs and generator. Lost power about 5 this morning and showing to have it restored by 10 o'clock tomorrow night. Just venting. A little snow shuts down the whole state. They need to take notes from people up north. I love the look of the snow and a beautiful sight, but so many cries for snow and when it arrives they forget all the power failures, trees falling on power lines, slippery roads. Suppose to be 60 degrees Monday. Go from one extreme to another. I guess best for me Monday to fire up the Spyder and ride to get my therapy in. I don't envy ya'll for the pretty snow. Love it and wonderful sight, now it can go away:thumbup:

OMG snow and then 60 degrees. That's like the Bahamas for us northerner's :roflblack:

They are saying maybe 2 inches of snow and blowing snow and cold in my area. That's nothing for us.

Nowadays the weathermen around here get everybody all excited about a couple inches of snow.:banghead: It sure doesn't snow like it used to, so anytime there is a possibility of snow the media makes it sound like it hasn't ever snowed before.....much like the media does in the south. I spent 7 yrs in N.C. and they got excited for snow too, but here in WI there is no reason to get excited about a couple inches of snow. You're right though, that heavy wet stuff takes out the power grids in the south real fast. Been there, done that. I like the snow myself, I have to, I live in WI...LOL

We had snow this morning too, the first since Christmas morning 2004 (which I didn't see because I wasn't here that month). It only coated the rooftops, trees, and upper blades of grass & plants... nothing stuck on the ground or pavement. The low was 34 degrees F. Rare!
But it was the first time I had seen snow since this very same week in 2005, back in MO. And that's the way I like it! :yes:
Gonna ryde again tomorrow! :ohyea:

Went outside at 9 last night to a winter wonderland. I was planning on riding the Spyder in to the office this a.m. - cold = no prob if you dress for it. Anyway, I took the truck and two events made me glad I took four wheels instead of three.

1) a big truck just in front of me hit a branch laden with snow and ice and it blistered my truck.
2) hit a small over pass of concrete with a slight curve and even though I was looking for black ice, the grey ice didn't catch my eyes and the next thing I knew, I was caught in a full side slide at 35 mph. Good thing I was raised in MI. Just took my hands off the wheel and feet off the controls and waited for my 27 year old pickup to straighten herself out; which she did.

Whoopa all good in the south.

We live in the Willamette Valley and seldom get any snow that amounts to anything, all we need to do is drive for 1/2 hour and we can ski, sled , snowmobile , what ever floats your boat. I lived in central Oregon in the 70s and got very tired of it after about 4 months . we get an average of 43 inches of rain at home and it keeps things nice and GREEN and you DON'T shovel it.

Were getting your snow today,expected 2-4 in this area,being in Pa we are used to it.

Minneapolis in the 50's. Three feet of snow at a time, 20 below zero, had to walk uphill both ways to and from school. Now those were the days. :yes: :roflblack::roflblack:

Not quite so bad of late, but it does mess up power grids and driving. You would think people would learn to drive careful on icy roads. You can go, but you cant stop. All wheel and four wheel drive are very common place here. You can hear the newbies (and some experienced) singing--"I am invincible, I have a four wheel drive." We get fifty or more in the ditch between Wasilla and Anchorage ever snowy, icy drive time. They are referred to as "ditch divers."

Snow is very pretty, but not fun to shovel or drive in. :thumbup:

We got three inches in the Houston area yesterday. It wasn't even sunrise and there were snowmen every fourth house.

Sorry, I hadn't had my coffee yet, so no snow angels.... brrrrr.....

6 inches of snow up here in Vermont ( New England),is nothing, they are forecasting a "winter weather advisory " from tonight to tomorrow.

This is the first snow storm of the season! I'm use to it.

We usually get that same amount in one snow storm, + more.

Interesting twist here. Mid 40's (ABOVE) and the Pineapple Express wind is gusting to about 80 MPH. Our snow is on the melt. Grass patches are beginning to show. :yes::yes:

We had gotten a total of 7" and that is a lot for here. Just about completely gone today. Out riding the Spyder 60 degrees. Went without power for about 30 hrs. Wasn't worried had the generator and gas logs going so light and heat. Was very pretty but glad it is gone for now. Southern people just can't drive in icy weather and it leaves such a mess when the snow melts. Laughed at a bunch was so excited about the snow and how pretty till power went out and limbs in the road and hard to drive on.

Time to get the snow blower out, and the shovels etc. Today, some of the schools were let out early due to storm.

We don't need that. Three days after the snow it was 60 degrees. Crazy weather down here.

DavidUp here this week, we have blowing snow, cold. But next week the temps in the 30's snow/rain.

We'll have a white Christmas up here. It is good for the ski area's, and anyone who plows driveways, and the road crews. We keep right on going......

We've got a good 2 inches on the ground here and it's still coming down pretty hard. It's supposed to taper off around 11. I'll be out shoveling tonight so I don't have to get up early for work and do it---I'm NOT a morning person....:thumbup:

Coming back from an appt. in Anchorage today, the snow has melted off the medians on the main highway, and the mountains which were all white with snow cover has melted back down to the shrubbery.

Nice spring thaw for December just before Christmas. If it were not for two blocks of glare ice in my neighborhood, I would fire up the :spyder2::spyder2:'s.

My ATV sits in the garage with the snow plow finally installed waiting for the first snow here in SW Idaho. Last year at this time I think I'd already plowed the driveway at least twice!
