Well there calling for more snow

So I guess this time I'll put the V-plow on before it gets here so maybe I'll scare it away from me. Believe it or not in years past I have done just that just to end up having to pull it back off because we didn't get the snow they called for.
Oh and by the way they say what we get will track out the same way it did just the other day so people out east that got hammered the other day will get hammered again
 
Talked to big sister this morning, she's living about 10 miles south of Baltimore MD. they are digging out of 30" snow today. Had to chuckle here in northern Pa. where she grew up we got about enough snow overnight to leave a footprint in. Sis warned me though that the next storm is supposed to give us a little action here. I went down to the barn and plugged the battery charger in on the backhoe. Snow removal is about the extent of the backhoe's duty in the winter. I haven't even had it running since before Christmas.
 
Hey Rich leave the gate open and point it toward Ky. I can"t even buy snow here in central Ky. We just keep getting a dusting over here.
 
Rich, the snow missed us yesterday but everything is sure a mess around here. I have a little 4 wheel drive Suzuki Sidekick I can usually get around anything in but this slop is getting tough. Wants to skid you off into the ditch even in 4-wheel. I might just have to get a tractor out for transportation on the farm. Yep, guess another dose is coming tomorrow and I have to get to town so will go first thing and get back home and watch everything turn white again (actually it still is) - stay warm and dry up by the lake, Hal.
 
Up here in MN we keep getting 'flurries.' After several big snows earlier in the year - and people south of here son't understand, our snow does not go away all winter - it just piles deeper and deeper.....

Well, these 'flurries' are ending up being 1-2 inches. Several times a week....

Now Sunday nite through Tuesday, the 'flurries' they were forcasting are supposed to end up totalling 10 inches.

And most of the winter we have had east winds around here - normal wind patterns are NW winds in winter. So, all this snow is piling up in the bad places. Add in the minus 30 temps we had for most of a week.

Sheez what a winter.

I feel for the people in DC area and the like - they just are not prepared for that sort of thing.

But we are getting a little overwhelmed up here too. Lot of snow & ice piled up, lot of cold.

If you heard about the grain bin issue here in MN a couple days ago - fella trapped inside a commercial grain bin - the grain is freezing up inside the bins, then it doesn't come out right.

Just lots of problems from this winter.

I had a Geo tracker a few years back that was 2 wheel drive and it did well. Maybe it was the tractor wheel weight I put in the inside if the back door that helped. LOL. So maybe you need to set a couple wheel weights on the back seat and your do well. Try it you might like it Hal. LOL
 
Talked to our daughter in DC a little while ago. She lives right in the District six blocks from the Capitol, and said so far they've officially had 25.5 inches. Usually 3 or 4 inches shuts the whole town down.

Said she's going to a hockey game this afternoon.

Several years ago on the day she graduated from Georgetown they had an inch or two of wet snow and one of the speakers for the graduation didn't show up because of the weather.
 
I sure enjoy listening to the folks south of us, and especially the east coasters. Last night"s national news cast was a hoot! You"re getting a taste of what us northern midwesterners get about every winter. I"ll grant you that the 2+ feet in Washington is a little extreme, but they"re talking 10+ inches for us Tuesday. We"ll just shrug, push it outta the way and go on with life. Our friends in Wisconsin, Minnesota, western New York and Michigan know what I mean.
 
Yep I know what real snow is. Back years ago I lived in NE, MN, CT and a couple others up north. Still remember one time when I was stationed in CT went out in the morning to go to work and could not find my 1974 Dodge van, not even the antennas on the roof, had 2 of them 3 foot tall and then did not stick out of the snow either. Granted it was parked down between 2 hills and the snow had drifted across those 2 hills
 
I'm with RayP. We just keep getting this stuff all winter, and just keep dealing with it. It's just part of a normal Michigan winter, not anything special. Seems like every weatherman adds acouple of inches to the prediction to make himself famous. Can't hjardly stand to listen to them anymore.

Well as I said put thew V-plow on and what happens no snow to plow. Snowed all day today but it was warm enough out the it melted as it hit the ground so no snow to plow. I'm sure happy I put the V plow on so it scared the snow to the east of me I didn't really want to go out and plow the snow any way
