50s here tomorrow then it's a down hill slide into the low thirty's for highs and mid teens for lows. No motorized equipment on the ice for our inland lakes it's pull-it, push-it or, get somebody else to do it.  I was but a few months old during the snow storm in 1950 so I don't remember, too much about that one but I sure do remember, some of the winters afterward. Wasn't uncommon through the sixtys to see ice chunks the size of automobiles pushed up from French Creek onto Otter Street in Franklin, PA. during a spring thaw. If yinz get on some of those Lakers, don't forget the pictures. Good times and tight lines.

I do remember the days of my grandparents down in the valley from us through the 60-70's. Walking distance from then and now. Creeks would flood, firehouse pumpouts were a spring time routine.
Riding my mini bike around and crushing car size ice chunks in June were normal, sometimes July.
I still live here but haven't experienced that type of conditions in 30 plus ? Years .
It gets cold and some snow but nowadays, it doesn't seem as long standing. Maybe because we are so older and time keeps flashing by

I watched the tv last night for first time in a long. It was the weather (channel) which I didn't know it's now called underground.
Anyway, they were forecasting big snow depths, like 48 plus. Of course it's drama for them.
I really prefer to what locals feel about things instead of nationalist

Calm winds and about 3" wet snow. Should have went hunting but got lots chores done instead.
I will be on ice again in 2017. Know of some who have already. That's another thread.
Hope your shovels be light.

So it snowed on and off until 0930am and then it started COMING DOWN. I left at 1100 and about 1.5 inches fell in that hour and half making about 5 inches total on the ground when I left. Funny thing was when I got to the town barn (about 2 ) miles out THE FREAKING SUN WAS SHINING änd you could see the snow wall behind and by the look of the Doppler its still coming hard. A friend texted me and they have close to a foot now. Here at home we got about 4 inches. Report on the other post

We got about 5" here in the mid Hudson valley from the clipper that made it's way up the coast yesterday. Not enough to fire up the snow thrower but enough to require breaking out the snow shovel.

I can't do o'dark 30 stuff to much anymore.
I'm figuring the game is a field already, I'm not gonna try to beat the gamers.
Some places it's a non issue , others I'll take the mid morning shift.
Funny thing is I still try to sleep in these past weekends but still awake at 5:50am .

Welp so far we have got about a foot on the ground here. I have not been up to Altmar or Pulaski , but from what I here it is close to 2 feet up there. Weird what 10 to 12 miles will do. Tug hill well over 3 to 4 feet. We will see where tonights LE sets up, now it is north again. it's supposed to dip south tonight, Calling for 8 to 12 we will see. On a sad note one of our yearling bulls jumped the stanchions and got his head caught trying to get back in. The results were not in his favor...................

We got a fraction of the first forecast but I think the weather dude may have just been a tad late on the timing. Putting down the snow really heavy here in my little piece of Penn's Woods and the radar shows more and more to come.
Prayers to those who must journey in this weather, may St Christopher be riding shotgun and kudos, to the saltshaker and plow operators working to keep the highways and byways as a safe as possible.

Looks like we might be finished with snow for a while in my little piece of PA. Weather dude says maybe some drizzle and rain then some sunshine during the week.. Temps could touch the 40s by mid week and right now with the wind from the south, the unofficial temp. showing on my "TWC" official weather station, says 28.9 degrees.

Nope. Being stranded braving cold sucks. Snow covered is worse.
My laker water was -7 .
I got my crap together at least for now as long as the snow stays away.
