I looked out this morning and the sun was up.  Lots of snow on the ground.  My first guess was about 6" with drifting.  But I've been out the pushing it around all day and I'm sure there was at least twice that much.  Judging from the height of the front axle on the AGCO,  I'd say 16" was more like it.  Our local paper said 14.2".  Someone said Columbia got 19.4".

That's a lot of snow for us - especialy this time of year.

I've got our 1/2 mile drive pushed out enough we can get in and out.  But there is no place to go.  The county and state roads have not been cleared.

Our storm is supposed to last through Saturday, so I'm holding back from camera shots until Sunday morning.  Because....well....I ain't stick'n my nose out till then. ;D :D

Go'n just now to stuff the furnace.  ;D

Bibbyman,

That snow should really help get the log yard full shouldn;t it.

If the rain that fell here the last couple of days was snow we sure would have had you beat.

Turned very mild here and the snow is melting. Pump sales are good. ;D What a goofy winter.

Almost forgot what I was going to post here.........server has been slow lately.

Got about 2 " last night, the ground ain't even froze. I took the blower out to take some stuff off the driveway so it's not a skating rink. It's not doing much now, when I was out shoveling there was no snow in the air. Just a scarce snow flake now. Even saw some streaks of sun across the sky around 8:00 am AST.
