New snow

[oosik]

It snowed more today. But due to temps and melting - only about three inches on the ground.

 

[Torvy]

We are bracing ourselves now. Weatherlady just said its gonna drop to a blustery 78 F here at Christmas.

Stay safe. Dress appropriately and limit your time out of doors. Hehe

Similar here. Windy, though.

 

[check]

Very little snow up here this year, and not much forecast up to Jan. 7. Snowmobilers are not happy, and local economy will suffer.

Yesterday little over 1" snow ice mix.

We are receiving OK amounts here. Thank goodness more is in the forecast.

No snow here since February. Most of the trees and bushes still have leaves. It hit 80 Christmas day. Supposed to be mid-80's today. I was going to cut grass but it's foggy now and will be too wet.

This photo was taken on the 22nd. You can see some of the trees and bushes in the background. New paint and many new parts on the Ford 3910.

That is certainly a nicely painted machine! Did you paint it yourself?

We've got other people's snow coming in from the east, just ground drifting. I'm sure I recognized some of the flakes as ones that went by from the west a couple of days ago. Forecast is for -37 at night for the next week or so. Daytime, all the way up to -28. When it's that cold, C or F degrees are about the same. Tractor is plugged in just in case.

Yes. That's supposed to be the original blue. I guess I'm used to seeing the faded blue.

I call it a 20 foot paint job--It looks good from 20 feet away.

That tractor looks sharp. Good job

Nice day to go sleiging

It look darn nice in the photo let alone 20 feet away. That is the same phrase I used to describe the brush on paint job I did on my Ford 917L flail a couple of years ago. After 2 years, it's a 50 foot paint job.

Well, from the time of my last post, Mother nature has changed her mind and gave us a full blown blizzard.

Sorry to hear that. It's sunny and 77 here. But I remember my days in the snow belt of Ohio. I don't miss it--Even at Christmas.

If it's any consolation to you, we'll be 110 in the shade come July and August.

Don't forget to mention the humidity when it's 110 in the shade.
Here I have a balmy 3 with a wind-chill of -19.5 according to my weather station. It will get well over 100 in the summer, but "it's a dry heat" Humidity in the mid 20s to md 30s

Nice day to go sleiging

Beautiful pictures and a really nice looking team.

Three hours of snow clearing today. -30 with a breeze. Note to all the guys who don't need cabs, I don't believe you. This stuff isn't cotton candy.

 

[grsthegreat]

Ya….no way id go back to open cab. I moved snow today at 16° with a wind.

Record snowfall for the month of December in the Sierra mountains - nearly 17 feet now, and it is still snowing. They had to close Interstate 80 on Saturday; as of this morning it is still closed. Traffic cameras show trees down across the road. Huge mess with all the big rigs piling up in parking lots in Nevada, not able to cross.

Sierra snowfall smashes December record

SNOW RECORD SMASHED: The Sierra has broken a record for most snowfall in December that was set in 1970.
