Can't drive the car like summer, that is for sure. ;D

Nothing funnier than being down South in a snowstorm and watching you guys drive. :D

After spending three years in Germany, I know how to drive in the snow, it is funny to watch everyone else slide around though. ;)

We got lucky on this one.  No snow, some ice, too warm to stick on the roads.  Some did stick on the bridges.  Now, midday, its mostly gone. 

How did others in SE fair?

Well here in the SE corner of Nebraska we have 8" and it is still coming down!  The wind is supposed to start blowing later on.  That will cause this fluffy stuff to move somewhere ;D

Doesn't snow add nitrogen to the soil?

Well James looks like pay back is well you know where I was going  :D It is supposse to start snowing tonight ,the wind is out of the northeast a sure sign of snow here in west central Ohio. A northeast wind comes off Lake Erie and we have been dumped on over the years. Sounds like you lucked out, you must be living right  ;D

If you come to the Burg, you better let me know if y 8).ou have some spare time. I get off work at 4:30.

Terry,

I will holler if I can get away. 

Atlanta and North GA got a mess for their capabilities.  Pretty messy in middle GA.  I did make it to Hattiesburg, driving on the ice for 125 miles, then clear sailing  8).  Keep this DanG stuff up North, please  :).

You could easily do it today.  When you do, you can help me sticker-stack some red oak  :D.

Stay away from the Customsawyer, though, or he will have you stacking 40 foot timbers  ;D.

We had about 6" drop on us last night. That is the deepest snow I've ever experienced. The kids were off today and probably tomorrow.

Watching the dogs in it was pretty funny.  We have a 14 year old bassett hound that was not enjoying the deep white stuff. :D

The final count was 8 inches here. The county and state DOT spent most of the day at waffle house drinking coffee. I just love to see my tax dollars hard at work. While they were setting around with there thumbs... well, you know, me and the rest of the farmers, loggers and dirt contracters assembled into a snow fighting army and got busy getting roads opened up. I cleared a good part of my road, most of the back roads were done with farm tractors and tracked skidsteers and one of the main highways was plowed with a Deere grapple skidder.

That's not too bad if your doing the lifting from inside of a heated cab. :D

Glad to hear your doing okay TF.  I was wondering how much snow you got.  Maybe SD can send you some snowshoes.
