Just got power back after 2 days and a warm house at 46.9 degrees! Guess I wished I had that big generator installed since we are all electric! Needless to say records were set! 10-12 inches in 12 hours.
How would ya like to make it down this steep driveway?

Nice snow. We could use the precipitation up here in big corn flyover country. Too dry here, about four inches behind normal y-t-d precipitation.
Looks beautiful as it did outside my home, but that pleasurable experience soon passed by the time I was finished shoveling out around 2:00AM this morning.

Ya could come shovel off my driveway except now it is pretty much hard ice now from the hint of a thaw yesterday. Hoping we get enough Sun today so I can get out tomorrow!
Remember, it ain't worth a big fat heart attack to get out.
49 degrees? It may cause the coins to develop frost.
Does that produce "frosted proofs?"
Post Card pretty photos!

It looks like you got a snow and an ice storm. That combination can be very beautiful, but it's only good if you don't have to drive or walk through it. I miss the views, but not the travel problems.
I've always have snow day projects saved in a que. Coins, lapidary, movie watching, sitting by the fire. Natures way of saying slow the heck down Bro!
I sure don't miss the snows. We haven't even seen measurable rain in over 6 months. We did hit 32 degrees one day a couple of weeks ago, so I guess winter is over. Still have tomatoes on the vine and growing......ummmmm
good luck with the driveway (I can't even see it in your pics).

What's snow?
Cold white stuff that isn't wildfire ash!
LMAO, funny guy
Yeah, our state isn't supposed to burn this late in the year.
Beautiful snow pics, where is this?

Actually when it started there was some sleet but it was melting as quick as it hit the ground. It turned into a wet heavy snow....the kind kids long for because it is so good for making snowballs or snowmen! The snow started late Friday afternoon and ended around 10 Saturday morning(heavy snow had ended before I got up). There were clumps of snow falling that were golf ball to tennis ball size. It didn't drop below freezing until Saturday night! Unfortunately it was a balmy 20 degrees this morning when I got up! I can't imagine how much snow it would've been if it was below freezing when it was falling!
I realize to some extent, it is a factor of historical snowfalls in the area and pre-placement (or possession) of snow-removal equipment. Here, snow is expected anytime after October, and 6-12" is just laughed off (we get 500" + in the ski resorts 12 miles away). Get to 14-16", and we start to get serious on snowplows . . . . the city and suburbs are competent, and we have fleets of plows . . .so no one gets too worked up. Of course, if you don't get much snow, or are in a warmer climate, these freak snowstorms wreak havoc.
Geography also plays into it big.
I did a distance running clinic in KS years ago. Got up in the morning from the clinic director's house to go for a quick 5 mile run on a brilliant sunshiny day after a rain. Fam looked at me like I was nuts. Outside looked perfect . . but a weird glistening look to everything. I stepped on his driveway, slipped to my butt, slid down the driveway to the street, then took a hard left down the hill to the bottom of town . . . sliding on ice all the way. Stopped about a quarter mile from his house. Fun slide. No cars (no one was crazy enough to drive in an ice storm) . . . just me sliding my way through Olathe, KS.
This Utah boy never saw that sort of stuff before . . . . . . .

Very nice.
Hoard the keys.
I got 8+ inches at my house from this same storm...it was indeed a huge surprise. I thought they were calling up maybe a dusting, maybe not type of deal that would never pan out. Then bam.
Oddly enough, traffic issues were minimal, relatively speaking.

Beautiful pictures! We got a decent amount here in western N.C.

Beautiful photos. I gather that it's cold outside when the trees look like that and all that white powdery stuff is all over the place? Right? What exactly am I looking at and have you ever thought about moving? Nice photos, but that white stuff is All over everything. What a mess. What is that stuff????
I had a good ol' time giving a friend in Atlanta crap for all the times she laughed when I got a foot or two. Karma, dude.
What do you guys do when it snows down south? A friend was visiting someone in Florida years ago, it snowed a couple of inches, and his hosts were horrified that he'd actually go out and try to drive in it. Wimps. It's great fun driving rental cars in the snow...
Snow Is A Four Letter Word
We got about 6" in my area in Gwinnett County (NE to Atlanta). My folks and brother over in Cherokee and Cobb (NW to Atlanta) got close to 11".
I put the doors on my jeep and went out for some major fun driving around. Had this thing doing donuts and driving sideways but where I wanted it to go, always fun!
Great pictures... we got about 4 inches on Saturday.... Looks like you are out in the sticks... Is that an outhouse in one picture?? Cheers, RickO
Yeap! That takes care of one of the water problems when the power goes out! It's appropriately named "Little John"
I have used a 'Little John' in winter.... If I have a choice, I will not do that again.....
Cheers, RickO
"Hell"in CA to warm you up:
Pictures are awesome!
