    Started pushing snow at 4am at work today. Came down so fast I couldn't keep ahead of it. Kinda purty in a way though. 20240109_144838.jpg

    The cold that we are about to get next weekend is what I'm not looking forward to.

    We only had about 5”-6” here in SW IA where we are. Had a report of around 11” & still snowing over to Chelsea.

    We probably did get 10 to 12 inches. Hard to say for certain with all the wind and drifting. I did make it home after work. Left around 2 because of deteriating road conditions and it was not a fun trip. Was actually pushing snow with the Honda CRV on our gravel road and in my driveway.[​IMG][​IMG]

    I'm with you. The snow doesn't bother me much but the older I get it seems the cold gets stronger. Maybe the cause of me losing strength is that energy goes to the cold air?!

    The guessers are calling for another 4”-7” here Thursday & Friday with heavier amounts farther east Ronaldo & Mark should almost be done shoveling out about the time it gets here.

    Butcher where are you located at in Iowa ?

    I think your body is working harder to regulate your temperature in the cold, and being older, that's hard work on your body.

    Nw Iowa here.

    Were sitting at about 18" this week and the winds have died down a bit now but are suppose to pick up again. Possibly 50 mph later.

    Probably another 6 to 8 inches here but really hard to say because of 30+ mph winds that are just not going down. Drifts are 4 or more ft high. Made it out to feed the livestock this morning with the Bobcat but will need the clearance of tractors by tomorrow. I haven't seen a storm and snow like this for many, many years.

    Funny

    We closed up work at noon so I tried to drive down to Menards and Fleet Farm but ended up turning around as they had pulled the plows.

    Tomorrow...Tomorrow :)
