|
Had only the slightest traces of snow all year so far... until this morning. It started early and snowed hard all day... 14" or so on my driveway! I'd procrastinated putting the snowplow blade on my ATV so I had to bite the bullet and lay in the cold snow and bolt'er up. Once mounted I made quick work of the snow (amusingly my neighbors had all just finished shoveling theirs when I got my ATV fired up... I still took a trip up and down the street plowing sidewalks. Ski resorts reporting well over 2ft today.
Far from a record storm (we've had over 8ft in a single night in the mts before) but still a bunch. I fear the deer and elk are in for a tough tough winter.

Seems like one is never quite prepared for winter. Our first blow came Oct. 06 this year. 20" snow with 40 mph winds. Three days before pheasant opener. It wreaked havoc on the young birds as well as the humans. No power for days. Ready for winter now.--tr

Winter hit pretty hard here last night. This morning it was -15 degrees and windy 8O. Only got about 2 inches of snow though.

I wish it was like that here in Michigan We have some snow on the ground, light flurry at times, but all the dry bitter cold we usually get in the jan. feb. months.
