I hope you Northern East coast people have your prep work done and are prepared for the crap coming your way. Good time to open the safe and play with the toys. Be safe!

The sky has been falling in Boston ever since Babe Ruth went to play in NY. The Sky has been falling in NY ever since Rudy Giuliani was mayor. 2' of snow falling out of the sky is nuttin'.

Sure glad that puppy didn't hit Michigan. I had enough snow last year to last me a lifetime. We've had a pretty decent winter so far this year. Just hope it continues. Hope everyone out east is able to stay warm and safe. Be careful when shoveling snow.

The local news just said Worcester has gotten 33 inches and still falling. Looks like 15 to 20 mph wind. Fortunately the power has stayed on around here. Others haven't been as lucky.

Here in north east Mass. we got the 3 feet that they were predicting. Ran the plow, snow blower and an old fashioned shovel trying to stay caught up and it is still flurrying but I think the worst is over, Thank God! So, how's the hunting down south?

Good luck... I want not sure what I was going to think of Seattle when we moved here 2.5 years ago but I am as far north as anyone on this post (or real darn close) and it was 62 degrees here today. The warm coast really does rock!

A little foggy in the morning, but working outdoors is a pleasure here when it's not raining. At least it's not 110 degrees like August!

It's 44 here, which is cold enough for me. Wore a jacket to work yesterday, for the 2nd time this year . However, we are headed to Pittsburgh in a couple of hours. We are taking the ill one up so she can see her first snow. Should be fun, I have only seen snow 3 times in my life, so I'm looking forward to it. Forecast is slim for snow though.

Lucked out here, Doug. Only 20-24 tops. Maybe a little less. Hard to say with all the drifting. Now get some well deserved rest.

Got about 14 to 18" on the ground total this winter, piles where I shovel/snowblow it are getting near 4 feet. Been blasting the ice dams on my roof with hot water under pressure, cuts them like a hot knife, just a little to wet and chilly for to much of it. Been raking the roof EVERY snow storm, as I had both wall at the ends leak in the winter of 2010/11. Had to rip them apart and re-insulate, redo the bathroom tub and all, etc...
Got 4 to 5" today so far, getting ready to go snowblow it as my sweeties coming over for lobster tails and filet on the grill with home grown white corn and garlic mash potatoes.
My grill NEVER sleeps...
Besides, anything less than 12" is a dusting...
Stay safe all!

Why do you HAVE to be such a JERK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You're right. My drive is only 24' wide by 30' long. On a BAD day it takes me about 2 hours. I need to be cheap so I can buy my guns. I get that free money from Bam Bam and I want him to know I use it for my collection.

Oh you guys! It snowed here at lunch time enough to make the ground white. Then the sun came out and it disappeared. Every few years we get a righteous blizzard, but so far this year our total is around 6". Our driveway is around 300 yards long, but the five residences on it chip in to keep it cleared. The guy behind us got a plow for his 4x4, and between that and my landlord's diesel John Deere w/bucket (for which I am the designated driver) we have kept ourselves opened up, even in the nasty stuff we had a couple years ago. I sort of regretted the influx of all this snow equipment because up 'til then I had a good excuse for not showing up at work now and then.

Just took dogs out. Wind chill -25. 4degrees and 30mph winds. Predicting -12 to -15 tonight. I have drifts azzhole deep to a 10 foot Indian. Looks like I will be getting John Deere with bucket and back blade out in the morning if the winds have died down. If not, then whenever the winds quite. This makes a guy want to move down south. Hope you guys living in the NE don't get this wind.

plab No, just one. When we had horses, I used to do from the road to the barn wide enough to get a hay truck in there. That was about 300'. I just stopped doing that within the las couple years. It's snowing now. It's fluffy so it'll be easy to throw. Wind is REALLY blowing and still blizzard like.

-28*F last night but only got 2" snow. I can still see trail I made around Christmas going out back, not enough snow yet to cover it. Must have sent all our snow out east this winter! When we do not get over 100" snowfall its a mild winter and that's where we are so far..... But the heating bills have been just as high?!?!?!

Some of you yankee guys will laugh at me, but they're predicting 1-3" of snow here tonight, and 8"-12" tomorrow. I know that's picnic weather for you guys, but I haven't seen a foot of snow since I was a small boy.
My kids, ages 11 and 16, have never seen a good snow. I kind of hope we get it.
Folks here can't drive in a dusting of snow. It'll be interesting for sure.

The ONLY thing that concerns me is the deer and birds. My wife and I snow shoe out every day to do the feeding. And contrary to what F&G says supplementing with quality mixed grain, NO pellets, DOES help the deer and birds survive.

Good on you, LBK. Even though I've heard biologists say not to feed wildlife, my heart goes out to the critters trying to survive in winter conditions. I tried to make a deal with the neighborhood "suburban" deer this year that if I threw them some corn would they not eat our apples and pears come next summer. The shifty buggers hemmed and hawed and said "yeah, sure, uh huh, that's the ticket." I gave 'em the corn anyway. (Thing is, once you start you can't stop. There was a couple times a few years ago when money was really tight and the deer moochers ate better than I did.)
Old Ma Nature did an about face on us last night. After the dusting and subsequent sunny afternoon, dinner time found the temps plummeting and a heavy wet snow came driving down- to the tune of around 3" per hour, for about an hour. After spending all day doing rust blue cycles I was in no mood for driving home in a whiteout. Then the wind howled all night and we got a taste of what it's like to live in the land of the wind chill factor. I would've preferred a lot more snow than what we got in lieu of 50 MPH gusts and 10º temps. Oh well, 'tis the season. It won't be long until it's time to drink cold beer under an awning while watching pretty girls in summer dresses sashay by.

Gary I like the way you THINK! I started feeding two button bucks, they brought 2 doe fawns with them now another little one has showed up! also have a BIG doe with 2 fawns and sometimes another doe with a small fawn, she a mean bitch and will kick and strike at the others, if season was still in I think Id pop her. have turkeys at times also, had a flock of 16 with 2 big Toms for a week but they seem to have moved on.

I was just out behind the house. I'm 6'2" and the snow is up to my hip. real hard for the deer right now.. the turkeys I'm sure are dropping like flies .this cold is real hard on them and with no food available we're losing a lot of game.. except of course the dam coyote. they just hang outside the deer yards and pick what they want.. but we don't have a coyote problem.. we outta be able to use old cod hook trick but the tree huggers would have fit. I better shutup before I get in trouble

Little brother and one of my buddies both bought Husky's last year, best snowblower I've ever seen. Me as well. I have owned several other makes also. My son gave me this one in trade for one of my old pick ups. I got the better end of the deal. I haven't tackled a storm yet that this one wouldn't handle. Some of the wettest storms we've had this machine passed with flying colors.

Probably shouldn't even stick my finger in the water here but back in the day when I was still in hi-school living with my parents in northern Wisconsin just before we got a big snow my Mother ordered a 5.5 HP snow-blower from Wards. We put it together on the front porch. Everything seemed to be in place so I fired it up. That was the last time I used a snow shovel in Wisconsin. Up until the time I left home I used to fire that mother up and blow snow every chance I got. Before that when there was snow to be shoveled I tried to make myself nowhere to be found. After getting that Ward's blower I was begging God to make it snow.

We got 6" overnight and you would think it was the apocalypse around here. Schools, businesses and gov't shut down. Grocery store packed with panicky soccer moms. I shoveled the walk out to the driveway, drove through the 200 yards of unplowed driveway, and entered the world of the crazed masses. As soon as I get a coat of finish on the latest school project, I'm going back home to take advantage of the "snow day" (which means another log on the fire and a belt of Sailor Jerry).

Goldang it! I knew I should've stayed home. My boss braved the madding crowds and came in too, and put a Faraday Generator (a repro I made a couple years ago) on my bench that a student dropped yesterday and broke. Since they'll need it when classes resume tomorrow, guess who will be fixing it instead of communing with Sailor Jerry this afternoon?! No good deed ever goes unpunished!

Used to plow and shovel snow all winter, back when I was a tough sumbitch. Now I just sit around in my Depends, swap parts, and bitch on the internet about how darned cold it is.
Jeezus, you sound like a bunch of old women. Turn in the man cards, it snowed last night. I think that sick basterd LBK might just be enjoying hisself a little bit. He must be a little off huh?

I saw snow last winter. For a little while. Sun came out in the afternoon. Snow gone. Strangely enough, I miss snow.

Come on over George we will get about 12" in the next 24 hours and more this weekend!! "The mind is willing but the flesh is weak." Only have to go to Snoqualmie Pass on I-90 to see enough snow to shut down the interstate. We drive up that way every couple weekends during snow season to get back to our roots.
