Ahh snow

[S&W Fan]

Big storm hit starting Thursday night, lost power last night around 9:30, snow stopped sometime overnight, 2ft of wet heavy stuff. Power company says hopefully by 10p it’ll be back on.

Sitting in a coffee shop now popular with the younger folks. Everyone in here is also without power. I feel hip already, I’ll bet I’m the only one looking at gun forums.

Glad to hear you're OK. At least you have coffee. I'm hoping we get some snow this year. Kinda miss it.

Do you have the urge to run outside and build a snowman?

son is in Colorado (Estes & Denver) for a friend's wedding... all is OK so far.. primary concern is him getting home in time for work Monday..

Me? No. But I do love getting bundled up and going for a walk in a snowstorm. I love how it quiets everything down and makes everything more beautiful. Ice, on the other hand, can go away and not come back. Ice storms suck.

I’ll bet you’re the only one with a big iron on your hip.

Ahh snow

Watch your language... "Snow" is a four letter word!

Thanks for reminding me. I need to change the oil in my snowblower and get it prepped. I hope I won't need it this season...

Last winter was mild, but we set a State record in 2014...

Hate snow. Too old to shovel it but do use my leaf blower to blow it away if it is a light snow. Saw a snow blade on line that would fit my lawn tractor but when I checked the price it was higher than a new tractor would cost me

Bring it. I have indentured grandsons under roof.

If one has stayed in decent shape, snow shoveling is good exercise. If you have not stayed in good shape, it is a good way to take your heart's stress level to bad levels.

Donk is loving it.

It's been a crazy couple of weeks around here...

Temps above normal. Trees refusing to let go of their leaves. A two day wet snow storm. Normal warming temps for the next week or so.

Don't care how healthy you are. Thinking you can handle it with ease is a big mistake. My driveway has a significant slope to it. There were a few times in my younger years I was left looking up at the sky. Too many sore body parts to list not to mention my ego.

My snowblower is out whether the snow is wet or powder and 6" or over a foot. It doesn't know the difference. I also do both my neighbors sidewalks and driveways when it's a bad storm.

I enjoy the snow but don't appreciate Mother Nature's sense of humor. I didn't expect that I'll have to rake leaves again in the Spring.

Power came on about 4. I was out with my son and his 3 kiddos sledding when my neighbor texted saying it was back. Came home to it nice and toasty.
Good thing, I’m dog sitting my other son’s dog and, unlike Donk, he definitely is not a fan of the cold or snow lol.

Looks great when watching It’s a Wonderful Life.

 

[arjay]

The only thing I don’t like about it is playing butler to a bunch of cats.It’s too cold to leave a window open for em lol

One of the Reno ski runs opened up this friday, for business.

Lots of the higher mountains in the area have "White" on them.
I did not realize that it has been that cold and that we had that much rain
in the last few weeks.

23* has been our low, so far with 60's as our high's.......

and yes, the tomatoes are a done deal.

 

[prairieviper]

No snow yet here in cornfields and cows country. We are still seeing temperatures in the 60's. Long term weather predictions are for above average precipitation and normal temperatures so time will tell.

I have my John Deere equipment and Generac at the ready.

Oh forgot to mention this will be my last winter without a snowblower!

I think y'all just making this stuff up...

Hey, we thought y'all were making up things like bath salts until people started munching down faces on the news. But , just like snow, I bet you have to be there to really experience it.
