:shocked: We've been threatened with a foot of "White misery" with this one... :gaah:
But snow is a lot like sex;
You never know how many inches you're going to get...
Or how long it'll last! :roflblack:

Hang in there people. You have had more than your usual share of snow this year. :thumbup:

We are now getting our second snow of the season. Have about 3" on the ground now. Supposed to continue in to Thursday morning, changing to sleet sometime tomorrow then rain Thursday morning. Sure is pretty. My feeders were full this morning but are near empty now. Had a stray dog eating the cat food we have out for the feral cats, racoons, gray foxes and possums. Went to town earlier for gas for the generator just in case we do get ice and loose power. Then went to Lowes for some sand. They sold out of generators and salt. Gets me how people wait til the last minute to do things. Same thing happens when they forecast a hurricane. One guy was arguing with the aisle manager saying that they were keeping the generators for the employees. I told him to go to the Honda motorcycle dealer and Wal Mart and see if they had any generators left. The roads were clear but the bridges were starting to get slick. People around here don't know how to drive in this stuff.



Christian wants to go play with the birds. House Finches, Purple Finches, Gold Finches, Sparrows, Cardinals empty two of the feeders. Cardinals in the brush.

Got over 20 inches in 24 hrs. Mon. - Tues. At least that is when I think we got it. Sun is out right now. -8F. this morning. Guess spring is coming sometime soon.

 

[otter28169]

4-8 inches?? That's all??!!! I am not even gonna hook up the plow. The snowmobile trails could use a little more, they are getting a little boney.

Bob, are you gonna finally get out that shovel, or are you writing this winter off as a "chilly elongated fall season"?

Fulton, NY: Where Summer is best described as three months of bad sledding.

Just sayin'............

 

[spyder-dude]

We are supposed to get 12-18" here in Central Virginia which normally doesnt get 10" in a year here. It started at 5pm and we have 4" already on the ground and is coming down. This place will be shut down for the next week or so.

Good thing I have some spyder farkles to put on my new 2014 RTS!

 

[Motorcycledave]

Well... I really feel like an ass saying this but spring is here I am sitting in my office
right now looking out the window at the blooming trees and daffodils. I went for a ride
about 80 miles. I just saw the news here about the Carolinas and the east bummer.
