We got 20 inches 1 1/2 weeks ago. Now they are saying Christmas day anywhere from 6 to 24 inches depending on which weather man you listen to.
Forecast is calling for some possible, but if not, there should still be some on the ground despite the warmup. If not, all we need do is sign on to FHC.
It has warmed up here and expected to stay warm. I see 1-3" snow for Friday night but rain on Christmas day. I expect we'll still have snow but by Christmas night it will probably be mostly slush. Then the day after Christmas is expected to be in the 40's before dropping back to 32. It sounds like things might become better for wood cutting so we don't have to wade through much snow. But, we tend to get our highest snowfall in the month of January so who knows what will happen next month.
I know the feeling...this winter mother nature is treating me like an outhouse and she is quite regular if you catch my drift.
We have about 8" still on the ground, and don't expect it to go anywhere soon. Another 3"expected tomorrow.
I had a white thanksgiving... so probably still got 8 inches of hard frozen on ground.. got half inch of rain on 15 inches.. then went negative.. frozen solid.. 3 to 6 more before Friday it's a safe bet
The ice on the driveway is pretty bad, roughly 2- 3 inches thick. Thinking this is why many have drums of sand sideways.
I feel for you nothing worse than a snow pack that gets rained on and refrozen - the only relief is a mud bog for few days until it refreezes into whooptee woops
This is what happened. Snow already, then 7"followed by rain, that simply froze. Sand works great though. All the roads around the house have inches of ice, but the road crews keep putting down sand and it works great!
I wish we would, but sadly we are to get mild temps and possibly rain. I'm OK with a warmup at this point, we have almost 2-3" of ice EVERYWHERE from last Saturdays deluge......
put 2100 hundred pounds of sand on Sunday AM before it froze... salt doesn't work below 0.. 250 pounds of salt on bad spots.. this AM ... starting to break it up.... drive is 1/4 mile... it would have been better if I left the 6 inches on it from Saturday to catch the rain... then blower it... Why studs are required where I live!
No white Christmas for us down here it is forecast for 93F Christmas Day, in fact the long range forecast has it in the 90's for the next week then it will probably get hotter. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
