Snowmageddon has kicked our butts out here. Day 5 of no power with at least a couple more days to go with 10-12" of additional snow forecasted for this weekend. Lost 4 big oaks, 2 fences from 2 of those oaks and a chicken coop. We love the snow but have are really ready for spring now!

 

Never like scanning the yard and finding a horizontal tree...

What’s your total snowfall for the year so far?

 

Our horizontal trees and power outages were due to freezing rain over the past two weeks.

Been much more rain than snow for us this winter but it's still been 60" or so. Up until a few years ago we lived another thousand feet up in elevation and our biggest snow winter was north of 240". I do not miss those days!

 

We've never had to deal with freezing rain out here, but strangely we did just have some forecasted that fortunately didn't develop. Can't imagine what that would be like... photos and videos I've seen make it look like an ice rink everywhere it touches.

Thankfully the ground was warm enough so the roads didn’t get bad, but it stuck on the trees and everything else. By morning everything was covered in ice and by early afternoon it had all melted. It was pretty wild, trees and power lines were down all over. Had you not known there was an ice storm you would’ve thought a severe storm had rolled through. 
 

I see Donnor pass has been getting pounded with snow.

Our winter day yesterday turned into a major windstorm. We had temp of 81 and winds of 78MPH. It took out a big maple tree across the street from me. Luckily it fell on to another Maple tree to hold it up. It did not hit the house. Lot of damage and power outages throughout the county. Last I heard there were 42,000 people still without power. Have been very lucky and kept our power on so far. I tried to post a picture but I can't get it sized right to work.

[TnRiver46]

Lots of folks here without power from Friday afternoon until some point Saturday, some winds of 90 mph were reported. My power somehow stayed on throughout

It's going to be freezing here again this weekend.  All of the plants and trees that have started to wake up are probably going to lose their buds.

[Bird]

We've had snow and below freezing temps the last 2 nights and unbelievable wind.

24* tonight but 62* tomorrow and windy but I GOTTA fish and I am. Lol

Next week looks more like “spring” than winter. Highs in the 40’s and a chance of rain (not snow, rain).

Here in Virginia it’s been crazy windy and cold for us but nowhere near as bad as it’s been both north and south of us.  I need a break so I’m loading up the wife and truck and heading to Cresent Beach in Florida next week. I’ll spend a week in the sand and hopefully spring will have sprung more permanently when I get back. 

[Jar11591]

Got slammed with a wet, slushy, sloppy nor’easter the last few days. What a mess. 2 week forecast calling for lots of high 40s and low 50s and rain, so I really hope we’ve finally arrived at spring.

I am still rehabbing from my biceps tenodisis surgery and rebuild of my shoulder. I hope winter sticks around a lot longer here in north dakota.

Get better brother, I hear shoulders are a nightmare.   I'd imagine you can't sleep in the bed right now, most I've talked to say they have to sleep in a recliner.

Day 147 since we've seen a day over 60 degrees.  Yes...Oct. 20th was the last day. 7th longest below 60 streak in history for my area. It was 28 degrees this morning....

 

Looks like that will change Saturday - 62 degrees forecasted!

Last year I caught my first Bass of the year on March 25th

 

On the 14th of this year we got hammered with snow. Most of it is still around. 

 

The dog loves it.

Heard on the news this am that up in the hills where I fish got up to 40” this week. Got a feeling it’s going to be a while before I can drive down the unmaintained access roads leading to the ponds.

[TnRiver46]

It’s 23 with a chance of snow, what the deuce 

[Bird]

Here in Western VA we've been dealing with extreme winds and below freezing temps at night.

I was shocked to see how fast the water temps dropped in 1 week......51* down to 42* and that brought on lock jaw.
