Close to a foot and still snowing hard in my part of the mid Hudson valley. A lot of power outages reported in and around the area. The new Cuomo Bridge (old Tappan Zee) has had a few trucks/tractor trailers blown over. As long as the power stays on I'll be a happy camper.

Well we got cocky and paid for it. Forecast was for 6 to 8 total so far is 14. It is the some of the heaviest , wettest stuff I have ever dealt with. Couple that with thawing ground and plowing anything off blacktop was a nightmare. Even the blower was digging in and blowing chunks everywhere.

Interesting to learn the TappanZee was renamed, one of my favorite bridges to cross, as long as I was inbound to my home terminal. I think it may have been the Tap where twin trailers earned their nickname "wiggle wagons".  Thanks for the memories Troutbum.

I got 16-18" here and it is heavy wet sludge. After 5+ hours of wrestling with the thrower and shovel I called it quits. One small area left to do but as HT said it is melting fast.

Planted garlic last fall and covered. I'm hopeful. Going big on gardening with fruits,
Veggie and herbs this year. Yea I have to try and keep the deer out but got to try. Many trees and annual fruits and vegetables going in for the future. Horseradish, asparagus, rhubarb, berries and trees.
My son is doing chickens, I'd like to set up for pigs next fall.
Hopefully the SR area plays nice on March 16th-19. Wife and I are planning a getaway to the tailwater. She cares less about fishing. I just want to have an opportunity.

I have a few minutes so I thought I'd stop by and say, I ain't one to get toooo excited about the weather cause I know crap happens. HHHHHowever, after seeing the latest NWS weather radar, I'm thing the crap is about to hit the fan!!! Keep an eye on this link for updated weather radar. https://radar.weather.gov.idge/Conus/full_loop.php Be safe everyone and think spring!!!!! PS. Geese, Mallards, Red Wings, Blue Birds and today 8 Robins but still, no darned Sandhill Cranes. They must have seen the radar???

The snow shovel all hung in the garage with care in hopes SandHill Cranes would soon be there...... Did I mention I had Robins, Redwing Blackbirds, Bluebirds and even a groundhog frolicing in my backyard yesterday. Oh yeah, weather dude said less than an inch of snow for my area of PennsWoods. What a jokester, probably the same dude standing in a corner with a lamp shade on his head at the office Christmas party.
