I know some of you are in the snow belt and/or at higher elevations that have more snow.  But us in New England are not unfamiliar with snow. 

We are getting record breaking snows this winter.  Since I have lived in the present house (15 years) the snow piles along the drive way and infront of the house are the highest level yet.  And we still have February and March and even April when we can get more snow.

What about snow for you???MadScrewy

A friend told me that he got 8 inches in N. Alabama a week or two ago.  We maybe got less than an inch in Central Alabama.  It is very rare that we get more than 1-2 inches ever.  I watch TV and see all the wind, ice, snow and that reminds me why I live in Alabama.  I simply couldn't cope with it.  It must take a fortune just to pay your heating bills.  A few day each winter our temp gets down to around 15 degrees and that puts my heat pump in passing gear.

Not bad here, we've had worse. About 3" or 4" out there right now.

Usually we get a good dump by this time or a couple in a row. Other than

the colder than normal temps in December we've had a mild winter so far.

Here in northern Kentucky, our average snowfall for the month of December is 1.6". This year we had over 16", and most of the month, temperatures were 10-20 below normal. I'm ready to move to Sarasota.

Even though I'm at 7,500 feet out here.... we haven't really had a winter this year yet.  Minimal snowfall, but some extremely cold temps.

We are missing our snow, give it back!  We are having a bad winter, very little snow we have a few inches on the ground and should have a few feet.  The snowmobile is sitting in the garage instead of out on the trail.

We have the world cup biathlon coming here the first week of February and they are planing to make snow.  I will be working at the shooting range as a scorer.  Should be fun.

hmm, weird- we haven't had any down here...

Talked w/ my Squadron Commander a few days ago- seems as though it's snowed since I left.  Should make the chopper ride interesting next week...

Snow is one thing, now the ice is crashing trees. I have a couple of new brushpiles under some trees, guy across the street just lost a 10" 40 foot long limb that came within 5 feet of doing major roof damage. I can hear lots of crackling limbs, and some snapping off cleanly through the 'hood.

I went to a bookstore and asked the saleswoman "Were is the Self Help Section?" She said if she told me, it would defeat the purpose.

After almost a month where the daily highs never went above freezing, we've finally had a break this week & lots of the white crap has melted. I can see patches of my (brown) lawn in places.Laugh

We're supposed to get a little more white crap tomorrow, but nothing major.

 

BTW, just so this thread doesn't go down in history as being...

...here's my PMA-B freezing it's butt off. 😀

Wrong terminology for that. Those things are called Fenderbergs.

CT is headed for -20 (with windchill) tonite/tomorrow, more darn snow Tuesday-Wednesday, and January is not over yet!

More snow on the way here too, and really cold!  Not quite Steve's -20, but low single digits.  Tomorrow is the first day that would be available to go shooting for the first time in about 4-months and it is WAY too cold to think about it.  Maybe I'll spend the day loading for warmer weatherSmile.  At 30 degrees or above the range is great because you get it all to yourself, but at 6 degrees I don't venture out either.
