    We've officially had 38" of snow in February but. by my count, about 65"... ice dams again after several years without them. My driveway is plugged and my sidewalk is one person wide. Couldn't get anything in or out of my shop on a bet...

    How are you guys doing (except imacman)....

    I feel bad for ya Krooser.
    We've been gypped this year. I'm on the seacoast of NH and my grand total for the year is around 10 to 12 inches. We get one or two then it changes to rain and it's gone. I've used the snowblower three times. Four years ago we had well over 100 inches with 48 on the ground. That was a winter!

    Getting teased here. We get some, It almost melts away and I can see my gravel drive again. Then we get some more! Another 7" this morning to clear away. Hoping its the last?

    But not likely! o_O

    Very little snow here in the "Snow Belt" in Central MA no complaining here as I am to busy with work , seems to go North or South of us all year and I am delighted with that.
    Only got probably 8" this storm and that is good with me as I was up at 2:15 this morning and had to screw to make it to work on time which I did not as I got caught behind a Plow Convoy doing 10 MPH so it took me 2 1/2 hours to get into work .

    Got a little over 7" of snow for this latest storm. Although we haven't had many "big" storms, we've had a lot of little ones that ended in ice. The ice coating protects the snow underneath from melting. In a perfect world it would magnify the sun's rays and help meltage - but it doesn't work that way in my world.

    On this side of the house there is no sun. There is still a little snow from October under that pile by the propane tank

    Along the ramp is more snow from October buried under the pile.

    I think we got around 7 inches. I got to run the snowblower. All was good until I gobbled up a tennis ball. I keep telling the dogs to put their toys away, but do they listen? Noooooo. A little pry bar action got me back in action. The yard is nice and clean for the week long deep freeze!

    Sorry to hear that. Pretty average winter here. Not much snow at all, and overall average temps. I've cleared the driveway three, maybe 4 times? Lots of rain, but not much snow. Getting a little bored, because I'm used to spending a fair amount of time clearing snow. Sorry:whistle:

    So, hypothetically, if you leave a couple beers in the snow on Sunday, it snows 16" that night, and you snowblow Monday..... IMG_1761.JPG

    Not much precip out here at any time of year, including snow, but the winters are bitter cold and too long. Keeps keeping on.

    You should look for it in the summer when the weather is better. :)
