What a difference a year makes. Last year was one of the mildest on record and this year they are forecasting a long hard winter. Got six inches of snow and lost power for about 10 hours overnight. Last winter we only had one snow fall of 2-3 inches that was gone within days. It's not even winter yet. Yikes. :eek:

We've been lucky at our new place, the only power outage we had was due to the earthquake during the summer.

Up in Hanmer we had power failures practically every snow fall ... was quite annoying

I can tell you that it would be excellent to get the snowmobile roaring again ... last year was pathetic with the mid season thaw

We got your winter last year here in the NC mountains.
We had our worst winter in 50 years!
We had 7 measurable snow falls.
I started scraping my driveway and I had so much snow that I had the road blocked.
I just started piling it up in big piles, then it stayed for months.
The bad part was we usually go south to Florida but we could not leave last winter due wifes mother's health problems.
You folks just keep that snow up there and have fun.

Perspective. It's a funny thing.

Nobody likes loss of power and many folks don't care for snow, but up here, like many other places, snow is vital.

We'd be a desert without it.

We get close to 75% of our annual precipitation via snow. We HAVE to receive snow. We only complain if we don't get our prescribed allotment. :thumbsup:
