Overnight we got 2 feet of new snow, still rolling down this noontime! Good day to stay inside, or maybe the garage?

We - in Virginia - got 30" between Friday night and Sunday morning, but most of it is melting now.

Hey HondaMan I lived in eagle county for 17 years, I sure do miss it out their; but the summers were just way to short. Good luck digging OUT! Let us know in march when you get 6-12 feet

We're battling the front lines with a recent wave days ago of an inch of rain, surprisingly the state didn't declare an emergency. a bit out of Los Angeles California, temps dipped to near freezing last night, it could hit easily 70 or 80 degrees today. have fun in the snow.

East Central WI - the storm just started about noon here. The schools started the closing announcements last night.

Now I see why you started this thread w/ 'buried' , We usually get tons of snow here too but I'm SO glad we don't have that right now..'knock on wood'..

There is a corner of a table sticking from the snow, just to show the depth.

My company's office in Omaha is snowed out today. We have clear blue skies at 57 degrees in Los Angeles. Low 80s forecasted for the weekend.

Please let it warm up - rode into work this a.m. at 36-40 degrees along the coast. That is completely unacceptable. The mountains look great, though.

I have a question about snow . Keep in mind I've never seen snow before... When you say 2 foot of snow , how much rain would that be equivalent to?
Not sure if it can even be measured but it's a question I often think about..

Normally they say 8 inches of snow equals one inch of rain.
This weekend I will be heading up to Taos and Wolf Creek and I know even after a week I will find untouched stashes in the trees!

Sunny and 70 here in CenTex.

Snowed 15" in Santa Fe while we were there for the Holidays, was wonderful...

seanbarney41 · « **Reply #19 on:** February 02, 2016, 03:38:46 PM »

little bit of snow we had should be rain washed away by tomorrow...just more rain forecasted here in sw. Michigan. After the last 2 winters, this feels as a well deserved break.

The drive outside my shop last winter.

51 and sunny for the last 2 days here in upstate N.Y.. It's been a delightful winter so far. I was debating heading south for the winter but this time I'm glad I didn't go. There's still two months of winter to go here. I wouldn't mind if this mildness continues. If for no other reason , just to see the fuel oil deliverers not running ruts up my driveway like last year.

depending on the temperature, 1" of rain could equal 10" or 15". The closer you get to the freezing temp, the "wetter" the snow and less accumulation. The opposite hold true for colder temps. Here's a link to watch: http://www.accuweather.com/en/weather-news/what-are-snow-ratios/4786333

Think it is going to be close to 60F in Syracuse NY tomorrow. I would like to personally thank the rest of the country of taking your fair share of our snow. You guys rock!

I can relate to your feelings, Kyle! I remember winters up there. My brother over in Auburn has been feeling a little frustrated though, because he was hoping to be busy enough with his snowplowing service to pay off his new rig this winter. Doesn't look too promising!

Were still trying to get rid of the 2 feet of snow from the blizzard and now we're supposed to get all sorts of rain dumped on us tomorrow. With the snow still down we could have some serious flooding problems. Might be just as well. I'm sure Philly could use a good colonic!

West Central Illinois, Rain today and foggy tonight, thank goodness it didn't freeze, yet.

brewsky · « **Reply #27 on:** February 03, 2016, 02:27:39 AM »

Finally bit the bullet and ordered a snowblower!

My 80+ year old neighbor brought his over the other day to help me while I was shoveling and had it cleared in no time!

I asked him how much that thing cost, and he said he didn't remember, but it was surely cheaper than a heart attack!..........SOLD!

Pic not recent, but typical......

Does the snow in your place stay till the Spring? We have it for week max before it melts down.

BobbyR · « **Reply #29 on:** February 03, 2016, 10:31:08 AM »

Raining like hell here in NY. If this was snow, we would be screwed.

I don't miss it!

That lump to the right is a 23 T-bucket under tarps and plywood and the motorhome is a full basement model. That was a 2 day storm in Twin Peaks, in the mountains of socal. Right around 4 feet worth and that was common at least 2 or 3 times every winter...we called it Grim Peaks in the winter. We lived and worked on the mountain...it was an awesome place to live and raise kids when it was less than 40% fulltime residence. Sadly it is no longer as nice to live there, with the on set of modern internet on the mountain, the Orange County Nazi's (as they were coined) moved up there fulltime and telecommuted over the internet and never lost the "it's all about me" attitude and thought they were all better than the "locals". It's over 80% fulltime residence now and the systems and roads there were never designed for that saturation of people all the time. It's like summer weekends all the time now with to many people and to many cars always goin Mach 5!
