Here in SE Penna. we had a balmy 8 this morning,maybe some of you NY guys want to come south for a tan?We do have about 10 inches of that white stuff though but that was three storms worth.Not much but still a pain.

Salt depresses the freezing point of water, but there are limitations as it gets colder, and in the teens, it stops working.  Condensation on bare surfaces freezes, and voila, black ice.  Why you see all the yuppie SUVer's in the ditches on very cold, clear road days, they did not pay attention in Chemistry class, and they have not learned that you spin out just as easily in 4 wheel as two, and the off roader's first rule, you don't drive in 4 wheel, because if you get stuck, you're stuck!
 

With 4-wheel drive; in the snow you'll go......... just remember to go slow.

So, when the time comes................. your able to get her to WHOA!!!!!!

I know..... cause..... BTDT!!

Yes looks like another 4 inches from last night. Sometimes I prefer the one 2 foot event because at least I only gotta clean that up once.

I'd say we've picked up close to 2' in the past 10 days. On top of the 5' in thE beginning of last month... Plus scattered droppings in the middle of last month. Snow is really starting to pack. If we get a bomber on top of what's here they're probably gonna have to shut down the village for removal

Yeah jack... I'm near thigh deep just a little behind my house. I imagine its deeper back in the brush and especially back in the woods. The last few storms have been heavier synoptic snow coupled with brighter sun... Its packing real good. The plows were out yesterday two tiering the snow banks. A bomber will cripple most folks/areas who have little space to put the snow.

Not liking this white s...t at all. We got another 2" last night with about 16" total on ground plus some monster drifts.
Sure puts a damper on the big lake waters getting to trout territory . I registered the atv thinking I might take it out there this weekend but now having thoughts of just putting snowshoers on and fishing a small local puddle for pannies instead. I don't feel like having to deal with getting stuck with the atv .. Going to be a game day decision , we shall see.

More s..t expected sun- tues . Ugh

There was a picture in the local paper of a massive pile up on rt 81 at Sandy Creek,30 cars and 4 tractor trailers,no major injuries but it looked like a real mess!

The reports for snow are all over the place here. Some are saying 8-12" and others are saying 4-6".
I'm hoping for less of the latter.
This measly 12" is making the ice fishing difficult .

Weatherman is all over the place on totals. Anywhere from 6 inches to a foot. I am ready. Dad's  plow conked out this morning, but luckily it was just a bad ground and it is fixed. Got everything done. Barn clean, roof shoveled banks pushed back..  Let's go................

Clint I'd saY I've gotten at least a foot or more since friday

No new snow here this morning but ICE! Not heavy ice but enough on my long hill driveway to keep me from going anywhere....since I'm retired I don't have to go anywhere

Since Thursday night till tonight I would say a foot also. We did not get the lake effect Friday. We were supposed to get a foot from Sunday afternoon till now and I would say 6 inches at best. Syracuse got a foot or a bit more in the last 30 hours

Just got done plowing after getting home late due to this BS overtime . Don't know the total ( still snowing) but it seems between 10-12" on the ground from 3pm yesterday till now.
We gotta be in the 20" range in my yard . I always push way back but I'm starting to run out of room as the banks are deep and high.
Now that the lakes are a mess, I'm ready for spring
