That's some nasty stuff! Our white stuff is still fairly loose, but will melt and harden a bit over the next few days.

I cleaned things up pretty good before the temps started to warm. Now I can stay at rest. :mrgreen:

We finally warmed up to above freezing.

We had a lot of moisture but relatively little snow sitting around this year, so we are now in mud season but not much more snow left to melt. Most really turned into 4-5 inches of ice.

So for a change, you got the snowdrifts!

This is pretty heavy stuff hopefully there will be some moisture
in it .

We are finally starting to warm up a bit really hope we could get another foot or two of snow before spring its not uncommon for us to get some pretty big storms this time of year . As long as the wind doesnt start blowing in April and never supposed until august like it did last year and some spring rain comes i might get one cutting of hay at home on my dryland this year still looking like Ill be out in my big meadows / summer range again cutting hay

Much the same here. The wind blew so hard that the drifts formed are solid and my snow blower would just ride over top. Had to break them up with the front end loader first. Should be some moisture in that. They say we can get up to 25% of our winter snow in March. Warming up to the melting point the rest of this week.

I think there is some moisture there or it wouldnt be that hard.
We sometimes get a lot of snow in March even into April
some years . No way would a farm grade snow blower
move this kind of snow

Thats some snow! Is that your collection of older vehicles?

SVcummins · Mar 15, 2022

No Larry those belong to the neighbors.

Thats the problem I always had with frozen soil....the thaw. Actually preferred the frozen ground. Course getting round bales out of frozen ground isn't fun either.

I bet you wish they would park them side by side in one area!

I hope you get some moisture out of that snow. My experience in the West is somewhat limited but I remember Fort Carson, CO. We were on the East side of those big mountains and the westerly winds after a big snowfall were called 'Chinook' winds. Very, very dry due to having lost a lot of moisture on the West side. The snow would 'sublimate', meaning that it would change from a solid state and go directly to a gaseous state without ever showing up as liquid. Piles of snow would literally evaporate.

well i like the white and green ford 1/2 ton. 1968? that is a lot of snow but no where near what i had to move with a D7 cat. to get at my grain bins.
