@gim ours just started. Calling for 6-8” now, so a slight downgrade. Looks like lots more headed this way next week too. In the thick of it now. 

Do you have a snow blower Jar? How is your injured leg doing these days?

Yeah thankfully I have a 28” Ariens that makes quick work of it. It’s primed and ready. 
 

And the leg is just about 100% now. I have what should be my last session of physical therapy on Monday. Tiny bit of pain here and there but I’m back to normal life. Thanks for asking.

About 7” overnight. Finished clearing the driveway, now I’m sipping coffee and enjoying the snow day. It was all powder so a very easy removal job. Another winter storm is gearing up to hit us again in a few days. Right now we’re at 27 snow events for a total of about 38”.

We were right on the edge of snow and rain/sleet. It started as sleet for a half hour and then went big fluffy flakes which dropped 2-3” in a half hour.  Then finished with an inch of glass pellet sleet.  It compressed down to about 3” depth but the top was so crusted I slid a gallon jug of washer fluid across the top of it and didn’t leave a mark. Fortunately the fluffy underneath wasn’t glued to the pavers so the snow blower sorted it all out. Good too because it’s dropping to low teens tonight and going to be cold for a few days.

We are under another winter storm warning.  6 to 8 inches tomorrow and Wednesday.  I just got back from 7 days of 82degree weather fishing in Florida.  Had to drive through some treated roads getting back to Virginia from another storm so I’m off the get the undercarriage of the truck cleaned off and all the sand and grime from Florida.  Being retired, I’ll put the cover on the truck and wait for the melt. 🤣

Getting slammed lately. Lots of snow over the weekend with even more expected later this week. Wednesday-Sunday looks like it’s gonna be a monster snow and ice storm. I really hope all this snow in February means a light March. False spring gets me every year though.

There is a positive to all of it: drought (or lack there of).  Many parts of the country are drought stricken.

 

I'd personally rather get rain than snow, but sometimes beggars can't be choosers here.

[Jar11591]

@gim this is true. And come spring I’ll be happy about the elevated water levels and all those nice new laydowns that become fishable. 

[casts_by_fly]

I sure hope so. The medium sized lake down the road is still 20’ low and the ramp is unusable. Water levels this low plus the 8 degree highs for a week are what killed the grass in that lake. It had t come back at all last year and then this again.

They are predicting a flood here over the next couple weeks, pretty typical

Lol you really have an axe to grind with the weather terrorists, don't you.

[TnRiver46]

I do, but I meant a flood is typical in February. Really it’s pretty typical for any month but October . We get 13 inches of rain more than Seattle per year

Yeah, I’ll put one together.
