Super User J Francho Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 Who's got the worst in this latest blast of winter? We've had a couple feet last week and another foot or so today. This is my uncle on the local news, he's about a mile from me. https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10152814882079215 Quote
KritterGitter Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Cold and rainy....Always rain, as soon the snow storm hits the Chesapeake Bay it warms up and just friggin rains... Coming from SW PA I miss the snow. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 A few weeks ago the weather service thought we might get some. We didn't, but they closed schools anyway! We have a slightly different problem. Spring is officially more than a month away, but my crocus are in bloom and the daffodils are 8" tall and developing heads. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 Hey, it's not me for once ~ and I'm OK with that. We're getting our obligatory 2 - 3 inches a day, and that's perfect. Good Luck to those getting dumped on - I know the feeling. A-Jay Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 Nothing out of the ordinary down here in Wyoming county. And that said "ordinary" is too much. Especially since it hasn't stopped since.........oh mid November. I will say the banks from just plowing my driveway are as high as I have ever remembered seeing them in the 15+ years I have lived in this house. We're running out of room to pile it. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 9, 2015 Author Super User Posted February 9, 2015 Seems like just a few years ago I was saying something about the banks being over my head when I was kid. Then for years, not so much. The past few years though… it's back to like it was when I was s kid. Quote
Super User Redlinerobert Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 That's nuts. And here I'm complaining when it hits 45 degrees. 1 Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 J, if the guy in the truck with the plow on front is your uncle he is a saint. Hard work moving the snow and he is providing a wonderful service to the parking lot owner. My neighbor down the road has a plow and he clears our street when we have snow as the City of Richmond is s l o w when it comes to snow removal. Enjoyed the video. Quote
Super User Sam Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 Just reminding you guys about Siberia having lots of snow and the effect it would have in the eastern US. I don't want to be a "told you so" but "I told you so." Quote
Super User fishinfiend Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 its 75 here Have fun lol Quote
Super User F14A-B Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 Seems Boston is seriously getting Bombed by the powder... Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted February 9, 2015 Super User Posted February 9, 2015 I sure am happy I watched that whole video, because for a minute there all I could think of was; "J's Uncle is Rachel Spotts?" Back to reality, we had more snow in November (which all melted by early December) than we've had the rest of this winter. All in all, not a bad winter in this neck of the woods. 1 Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 We've been lucky so far this winter. I think we have only had about 3" of snow, and that was spread out over a couple of months. Quote
fisherrw Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I am frozen when it's under 60 here... Quote
Smokinal Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 I think I heard we are in the 60" area over the last 2 weeks. More than all of last year's total. You can't see around any corners; have to have your car in the street to see what's coming, and hope nothing is; I look out the front window of my store and cannot see the road, or cars going by due to about a 7' snowbank in the yard.

plumworm Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Same here in Green Bay Lund. We have about 3" on the ground and about 12" so far this winter. Such a difference from last year when I ran out of places to put it about this time. My 2 stage snow blower couldn't blow it over the banks next to the driveway. I burned 8 gal. of gas in my blower last year, this year I don't think I've used a quart. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted February 10, 2015 Author Super User Posted February 10, 2015 Sam, my uncle runs the restaurant, and does his own plowing. My family learned a long time ago that it's less money and more reliable to plow our own lots, rather than rely on a contracted service. Each restaurant has a truck with a plow. My 85 year old grandfather does the second restaurant, a few miles east. He's the man - still cooks six days a week, and plows in winter. 1 Quote
Super User tomustang Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 Seems Boston is seriously getting Bombed by the powder... Yes it is, in fact I was watching the weather channel and the meterologist actually said it was because the patriots deflated all that air from the balls that it created snow clouds 2 Quote
Super User clayton86 Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 I got the same amount as J and farmer pretty much. I spend every morning pushing my gf out of the drive way because she drives a tiny little civic with skinny tires. It was funny the other day my 5 year old and I were in Walmart and in the fishing section and he asked for a new lure. I told him not now wait till closer to spring. His reply was that the ground hog said only 6 more days of winter. I corrected him to 6 weeks not days and with out skipping a beat he says " ugh stupid ground hog we should shoot it 6 weeks is way to long" I almost died. Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted February 10, 2015 Super User Posted February 10, 2015 Yes it is, in fact I was watching the weather channel and the meterologist actually said it was because the patriots deflated all that air from the balls that it created snow clouds LOL ~ And it's even Funnier because they Won The SUPERBOWL ~ A-Jay 2 Quote
Basseditor Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 It was only 83 today. This cold weather is getting to me. Quote
KritterGitter Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 EVERYTHING was covered in a nice sheet of ice this morning, once again no snow, just nasty depressing rain and cold. Quote
