True, it doesn't last long, but the after effects do! We had 8 to 12" last Sunday night. Power went out at 2 AM Monday and back on again at 2PM Thursday. Lots of gas through the generator.

Some people get all the luck! My blower is still mounted and aimed towards the door. But I doubt if we'll see much in my part of Minnesota. There was a half foot that fell last week about 75 miles north of us and a foot in some places in the northern part of the state where it hasn't all melted. More snow today in the northern part of the state.

You guys go ahead & keep all that stuff.

Still have the snows on the cars so maybe it won't make it this far east.

I'm not worried about the snow, but the trees already have leaves. Not good.

Well, I would rather have snow than rain anyday.


It only happened because I moved the mule to carry
birdseed to the lock box with the wheel barrow.

I have a truck tool box for bird seed-the hoodlums
would rip the lid off the garbage cans and jump in.

I stopped hanging a big metal bird feeder after they
knocked it down, broke it and opened it up.

They loved to open the lid of the truck tool box and
hop right in it too.


We had a chipmunk jump right in the feeder after the
squirrels opened to rob it and the wind apparently
shut the lid on him/her and when wifey opened it to
fill it the chipmunk jumped out.

I solved that problem with a cinder block on the lid of
the tool box.



I knew there was reason I left the weight on the truck and
left the snow blower, rear weights and chains on the tractor.

exactly!

 

[Don87]

Right now they are calling for 9 inches here, but I've heard some reports of 18 to 22 inches forecasted for my area.

More media fear mongering. It wont last. We have had snow in June, so an April storm is nothing out of the ordinary.

Maybe..maybe not...looks like the higher elevations in the Appalachians are going to be hit pretty hard. Then there's flooding to be concerned about.
April snow storms aren't real common in PA, but they tend to be pretty severe when we do get 'em.

April snow is not uncommon here, what is uncommon is that we have already had extended periods of summer-like weather and most vegetation is a month ahead of "normal". Snow in this amount could cause serious damage.

Just keep it away from the Ohio River Area in Beaver County, PA:thumbsup:
You are welcome to all you can handle...

That's odd. Usually watches are just that, weather patterns they are watching. If they expect a storm they usually will use the word warning.

That was from yesterday. It's since been upgraded to a Winter Storm Warning.

 

[etcallhome]

Winter storm warning for us 6-10" plus more in higher elev..OH Well like others it won't long.. Hate to see how many trees will come down.
If you have to travel just slow down and be safe!!

 

[radioman]

so far there is a inch and half of reallllly wet stuff on ground. not worth it to try to get seat time plowing snow.

I decided it was time to plow when the Fedex truck got stuck in our parking lot. About 8" on the ground.

I know God is going to punish me for this and I should keep my mouth shut until July or August buutttt... I didn't put my blower on last winter... more scary, I didn't need it!
