well, you easterners went and sent your snow our way...here in idaho. not too happy about that. I havnt purchased a snowblower or a blade for the new tractor yet, and dam* if i wasnt going to use the heated cab to push the snow, so it was front end loader use only. have put 8 hours on the new tractor.

Febuary has been a unusual event here in the southern plains in NE Oklahoma. Our average winter snowfall is 9" in this part of the state.

Jan 29th we set a 81 degree high record for the date. Feb 1st we had 15"-20"" of snow with temps down to 5 below zero. Just got the roads cleared and Feb 8 we had another 23"-25" snowfall with record breaking 31 below zero temps.

My tractor barn is a little over 200 ft from the house. One drift between the tractor barn and trailer shed was chest deep.
The national weather channel had some comments about the large amount of snow above average and the 111 degree temp swing in that short period of time in Nowata, OK.

I've had more than my one big snow for the winter as there has been some winters we had lots of ice storms and no snow. Thankfully we've missed the ice storms this winter ............. so far. I'm ready for green up time.

Me, too. It's back to just below zero here (again!), stiff wind blowing all night. Not supposed to get above 16 today, with a good breeze; northern NH has a severe wind chill warning in effect.

OTOH, this Friday we're supposed to get snow, changing to rain on Saturday, back to snow again Sunday.... arrgh! I'm ready for spring!!
