thanksgiving snow !!

[bull]

Who's getting snow.....   Sterling MA we have 2.5 inches as of 08:50 Hrs and it's coming down to beat the band. All we need is some wind from the N.E. and it would be coming down at over an inch an hour.....  Come on 4" I want to PLOW !!!   Just p/u a new 8' Land Pride 3pt blade and want to burn down the cutting edge.
  Oh yeah !!  Hoilday plowing pays double.   Could get an early Christmas present !!!

[OneWithWood]

No snow here, just high winds and plummeting temps.  Started the day at 36°F and are extpecting a low of 12° tonight.  Brrrrr
Definately be stoking the fire kinda regular like.

[old3dogg]

We have about 2" with more on the way. I guess we are going to get down in the low 20's later today.

I would love to stay home and hug the wood stove but have to go out and drive in it I guess! :(

I wish " familys" could just stay home with "familys" and not have to travel around on holidays.

The only hoilday I get to stay home on is new years! Go figure?

[old3dogg]

Oh yea!

We are getting high winds also!!!

[thedeeredude]

We had about an inch of snow and high gusts.  But we don't have the coal stove going yet :(  Just, cough, e-l-e-c-t-r-i-c heat running.

[J_T]

Snow ???Should be in the mid 80' here today makes me not want to go back home  :D :D

1/2" of snow here and quite warm 8) but real still out now.

[Tom]

And Jeff is driving to Chet's.

It's a good thing he is travelling in the "South", eh?   :D

[Corley5]

Looking at the radar pic the roads shouldn't be too bad along the U.P.'s southern shore.  The worst roads'll be south of Da Bridge

[Jeff]

After yesterdays drive, I have decided, No I already had decided that, I have just reaffirmed the fact that,

SNOW SUCKS!

[Corley5]

Sounds like ya made it to Chet's 8) 8)

[Lenny_M]

Got 3-4 now and coming down steady. weather station says 4-6 today.
Made the mistake of taking the rifle out for a walk to my stand at 6AM,by 7AM it was coming down hard.couldn`t keep the scope cleaned off.
                                         Lenny

[Jeff]

Sounds like ya made it to Chet's 8) 8)

Yep. I am here.  Driving in wind and snow and trying to get somewhere 300 plus miles awat is like, like, like....

USING CHET"S DIAL UP CONNECTION!  :D   Ya dont think yer ever going to get anywhere.  :D

[sprucebunny]

We have about an inch but even if we get more than 4 I won't plow my yard cause it's supposed to rain or sleet or something tomorrow.  :

MMMmmmm... that roast is smelling good ;D

[farmerdoug]

 :D :D :D :DI hear you Jeff I am stuck with dailup. :

We have 3-4 inches of snow and we are getting lake effect snow squalls.  The high here is to be 22 F but it is currently 14 F.   the wind is blowing 20-30 MPH wih gusts to 45.

The deer fed during the night but I am sure they will be moving early this evening. 8)

[Murf]

We got about 4" at the house and the airport, only about 2.5" down at the office according to the staff when they called (all of them on the speakerphone at once) to wish me a happy birthday this morning.

I decided if the health thing is gonna keep me up here in da snow this winter I'm gonna play in it some.

I put a 9.5' V-plow on my truck ......  8)

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snowwwwwwww .........  smiley_bouncing

[Ron Scott]

Jeff, that was probably an adventure trip to Chet's. Big Mac must have been open for a timely crossing. Drive easy on the return, weather not good here today.

Hopefully you brought sleeping bags and extra underwear for a possible stay on the road if weather doesn't change. ;)

[Corley5]

Supposed to be close to 40 on Sunday and mid forties and rain on Monday.  I'm not gonna cleanup any snow either.  It'll melt one more time ;D

[solodan]

This is what it looked like yesterday.
last year the same picture would have had five feet on the ground.
I'll take the sunshine if I can get it though, since june 14th was are last day of snow last season.

[solodan]

oh, forgot the pictures

[Deadwood]

We got about 3 inches of snow here in Coastal Maine...perfect ;D

I managed to get 75 miles on my new snowmobile so I am definately happy.  The temp kept changing from 20-34 degrees so it would rain one minute, sleet the next then snow. Heck we even had lightning and thunder at about 1500 today.

[J_T]

Boy I keep seeing all this snow i'm gunna have to ask son to turn this AC OFF :D :D :D

[sawguy21]

AC, AC, wuzzat? Been very mild here but have the furnace on at night. Party is over though, supposed to cool off real quick shortly :(

[J_T]

Sawguy if I didn't have so much going on at home i'd stay here till spring ;D ;D

[bull]

 Had five 5 inches. of a possible 1 to 3  Go weather men  ;)   Everyone is plowed Ca - ching $$$$$.
Now its 15 and windy wind chill 0..   guess it's not melting today.

[maple flats]

Only had about an inch yesterday, but plenty of wind. Shoveled the walk so my 84 year lod mom could get to my house for thanksgiving dinner. No clean up of driveway. Will have mid 40's Sat, 50's Sun and mon. Like cooler temps and a little snow, not high wind and lots of snow! But we'll take what comes and put up with it. Just north of us a little they are getting snow measured in feet yeasterday and today, east of lake Ontario, lake effect snow.

[old3dogg]

We got about 3" total. The wind has died down today and the sun is out but it is only 9 degrees! Picked a good day to take off work! ;D

[Deadwood]

Ahhhhhh, these are the days I long for when it is 90 degrees outside. Summer sucks in my book.

We got about 3 inches of snow. Not a lot, but enough for me to put 100 miles on my new snowmobile and I got two more days off from work 8)

[redpowerd]

maple you guys are usually the ones getting the lake effect with the clipper, suprised you didnt get dumped on like watertown. i see yesterday the state shut all the roads down in lewis and jefferson county. they were expecting up to three feet! and thats SOUTH of me.

gunna warm up and rain all next week, getting logs out now while the frost still holds the tractor up and snow to keep the dirt off.

[sawguy21]

I have lots of snowblowers to sell. ;D Last week Winnipeg got it and by the following day Walmart had one left between all the stores in the city.

[Frank_Pender]

We just had our first skiff here tis moring about 5:00 am to 5:30.  Nice big flakes bit it did not last but a little while. :'(

[Kevin_H.]

Well no snow here is So. Illinois, gonna be in the 50's today with a chance of some thunder storms, possible severe, tonite and tomorrow.

I could go all winter without any snow and that would be just fine with me, matter of fact it could stay in the 50's al winter and that would be ok also.  :D

[bull]

3rd day in a row that it hasn't gone over 32. more snow on the way....    not enough though... only an inch or so.....     Good Deer tracking weather.......    four sets of tracks in the front yard this morning..
another 1/2 a cord in the boiler room.....  time for coffee... and then off to bag firewood...

[isawlogs]

We have about four inches and its snowing now ... Had to go and open a few laneways yesterday . Weatherman is calling for rain on monday and tuesday  :  Thats going to make things interesting . It will all melt and then thaw out the ground some .. then we will have ruts  then it will freeze .  : After that the snow will come down and we will have to deal with the ruts with the plows , Oh the joys of winter .  ;D
