Just damn....

You got more snow that we do Woody!

it will top 85 here today. Nights are in the mid sixties. I can't imagine living where it snows, and is cold this late in the year.

That's mean!

Years ago, but at this time of year, I spent a long week in the Tequesta area with my then girlfriend. We were staying at her folks ancient condo in a retirement community. I was bored out of my mind, but the weather was amazing.

I came back the color of Tonto and with a half-pickled liver. Great, relaxing vacation.

yep, 85 here today, or close to 80 anyway,will drop to 30s by dark.

The thing I hate most, once we get to 85 plus, we can be weeks away from months of 100s...

I think monhts of 100s has to be as bad as months of winter.

Though I will admit to a long enough streak of wet/almost freezgin temps here that with a strong N or NE/E wind, I've gotten tired of trying to work out in it last Sunday and manned the wood stove instead.

Be nice to see half a foot of snow though once...

Yep same for us down south of you Sam.

More snow than we have here also.

More snow than we have. Our problem is our driveway is a mud pit.

Hunting camp last week:

Very nice place sir!

I just broke a sweat reading that.

Leighton's Drive Way last Saturday...



and the snow blower is in the shop...dang it..

Overnight low last was 12. Tonight is supposed to be 2.

But i still love my sandy knoll.

A high of 60 here today with approximately 1" of rain forcast for today through tomorrow afternoon, which will be followed by a arctic blast turning the tail end of the precip to freezing rain/sleet/snow with a single digit low Thursday night.

Looks like that is gonna be some tough work Woody, ya need a campfire hand in gettin' it cleaned up?

Hey, Woody - I trust you and your bride are faring well. I talked to my guys over in Mills County a couple hours ago and they said the sun was out and things were shaping up well for you guys there. It was raining and about 40* when we woke up this morning, went to Fayetteville about 9 am for a Dr appt. Left the Doc's office about 10:30 in sleet, by the time we got home (about 20 miles) we had about 1/2" of sleet on the ground and the temp had dropped to 25*. Now it is 23* and snowing . . . so far about 1-2" and still coming down. BTW - 1-2" down here is akin to 10" for y'all up there. It is supposed to be sunny and in the 50's by Saturday. No wonder folks down here get sick all the time .

Nick, all's well up here sunny and 29 at present but we've really been spared so far with the white stuff.The curse of buying a new snow blower I guess.

Just might if the sun doesn't get after it soon.

Yeah, looks bad, Woody!! Not bad enough for me to drive up there to help shovel, though...

Put the snowblower away and break out the leafblower!

We're on standby!

Maybe I should rent it out to ET ? That'll give poor Sandy a break!

Doc come on up I'm only five clicks from our Municipal airport.

7"-10" more tonight. I'm actually loving it.

Hummmm something needs a motor..

All set. I firmly believe a man should have as many cylinders as his age. Wife just wants to help occasionally so she gets the stairs and back porch. For me it's the Ariens doing my stuff and my elderly neighbors on three sides.

Good man Allen. Would you mind running over to my sis' place?

Yet another half a foot coming tonight. Temps got to the low 40s today. Snow compacted a bit today, but it's still waist deep.Temps drop to zero for Friday and Saturday but temps look like they're flipping next week well into the 40's.
Meltdown and flooding soon. tis the season.

going fishing tonight before the front blows in, at 11. 80s right now 30s in the morning.

Flooding from melting snow and heavy rain here and anywhere from 6"-12" by tomorrow evening. We have a backup generator, bottled water, and we're retired so travel is not a must. Our house is on a ridge so high water doesn't get us.

I bought a new snowblower for our house down here when we moved here last fall. It's real nice, but the novelty has worn off....way off.

Wow, that looks serious. Better get that flour picked up before your wife discovers that your clumsy arse dropped her baking goods ingredient. A 50 lb bag, I take it?

2 of 'em.

Pretty evenly distributed, I'd say!

Just passing some your way..this was our nuisance token last month..

My heart, it doth not bleed for thee...

Woody, here's a phone shot from a couple days ago in front of my buddy's place. We've had more snow since, and more to come I'm sure. Confident we're going to break the record for most snow in a season shortly, actually. I think we're 3 or maybe 4 short. Rah, rah!

It's allready hit here in N. TX. Temp is 25 and falling and it's sleeting right now. 3rd ice storm here in two weeks, now. I'm ready for spring to get here so I can do some bass & crappie fishing!

I feel for ya pard we haven't had anything like that since '75 but it still wasn't that bad. I remember running out of places to pile the stuff .After the winds died you could barely see the top of my garage door.

Damn!

I flew into Boston for an overnight in early January and there was hardly any snow. Flew into Providence, RI last night and couldn't believe how much snow there now. February has been a booger. Stupid groundhog!

Sun came out for the first time in over a month. Had to get out and a some cell pics. First one isn't mine though--had some help with a drone looking down the shore. Nice warm up to 18*. I think the worst of winter is over.

And Flyboy, if'n you need to borrow my leaf blower, just say the word.



Icebergs are over 20'+ on the big lake.



You can see a dude walking down an iceberg from peering over the top. Stupid is as stupid does.



The lighthouse and pier are a 1/2 mile out into the lake.



The river is froze solid on the right as it empties into the lake. you can see the lighthouse and pier on the left side of the river.



Parking is cheap at the beach this time of year.

75-80 here for the next ten days. Going to the drag races this weekend. Should be perfect weather for race cars and short skirts.

The view from Quincy bay looking north to Boston. I've never seen the bay freeze before. First time for CG icebreakers required to cut a path for south shore commuters on the ferry.

Leighton....do you ski?

I am skiing several times a week at Wachusett Mtn which is just up the road from here. 70 inch base depths and the cold have produced absolutely fabulous skiing. I skied Bretton Woods in NH last week and we have more snow here in central Mass. than they do in NH and VT.

I am loving this winter...!!

You need a bigger snowblower.

Now that's a cartoon I can agree with!

That doesn't look anything at all like the Florida I remember.

Well, I guess I know who got our snow this winter!

Hey there, friend. Long time. Good to see you still around. Yes, I ski. Used to do it a lot, but haven't in quite a few years. I have some foot issues, and after less than an hour in ski boots every moment in the boots is agonizing, even with supposedly extra wide boots. The next time I'm in Japan we may try to get a trip to the Japan alps. My wife has told me that boot manufacturers in Japan design theirs to typical Japanese feet, which is to say, w-i-d-e. We'll see. Glad to hear you're having fun.

See the blue above the car? Same ocean you dip your feet into. You're just a ways down the coast a bit.

I used to be able to ski from the opening of the resort until closing, now after 2-3 hours my quads are completely shot and just asking for it if I push it beyond that.

I did discover the Sitzmark.



As a kid I could never understand why adults would waste a perfectly good skiing day in the bar. But as with many things in life, with age comes understanding
