Snow

[Rowski]

Well we did get the snow mostly from the wrap around moisture. The ski area claims the got 3FT of snow in this storm. In the valley 2FT for sure. It started snowing Saturday night around 5pm. and snowed all day Sunday, Monday, and even this morning. We've got a lot of snowpack. No thaw yet to settle the snow. In the 2 days I pulled out 10 vehicles out of the ditch and 8 were SUVs with out of state plates. 2 of them were cars and they failed to navigate a striaght road (think they had a little to much holiday sauce).

I've got some pics. I have to wait till the roll of film is full and get them developed.

Happy New Year!!

Derek,
By the sounds you had a loooong holiday weekend,and by what the weather station saying toward the end of the week you be plowing once again.

Kinda always wonder what excuses people use when they drive off a striaght road,other than a deer jump in front of them and there are no deer tracks to be found. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Hope the winds haven't blown much over there. /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

There is light dicussion about mountain lions,and since you live in a prime area for mtn.lion have you seen or heard of any cats?

Kick your feet back and get some rest.

Hi Derek, Glad to see you haven't got into any trouble yet!!Got the voice report on your weekend activities from your other half. On Sunday I had 5 ft. high drifts about 12-15 ft. wide. Thats when you are so happy to have a FEL on the front of your tractor. Two hours later I had a clean and wide driveway. Glad this is the year I got the tractor. With a little more snow it looks like it might be time to put on the chains and push back a few more snowbanks even further. On a different note been snowshoeing for about 45 minutes every night. Boy is it a workout!!!!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I think the dogs are smarter then I am because they stay right behind me the whole way./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif Not much back pain yet!!!!!
Take care and if you need a shotgun rider give me a call!!

Know what you mean about the snowshoeing. I got a pair for xmas and of course had to try them out. Problem with the snow we have so far (about 2 feet on ground) is its the real powdery stuff so even with snowshoes you still go down pretty deep. Add to that the fact our property slopes front to back makes for really hard going coming back up hill. Great workout though!! (I ordered a digital camera for my wife but haven't rcvd it yet. Pictures to be forthcoming shortly of my snowbanks. Getting a LOT of use out of my backblade so far!!)

Harv, what do you think of the Sony Mavica MVC-FD73 digital camera. The description sounds like not the best quality or resolution, but probably good enough for an amateur like me, and most importantly, it's the only one I've found that uses a regular floppy disk for storage and I think that's what I want. Aren't there any others that use the floppy disk?

Harv it's just a good thing my wifes not quite as astute as YOU!!! OK so it really was a "dual" gift but she really did want one and actually is on line more than me so we'll BOTH geta lot of use out of it. (I have to show you my set up - it's twilight zone time - twin L2500DT's only I think mine sees a lot more snow than yours!)

Bird. RE; Sony MVC FD73. That is a good camera. I borrowed one from my Neighbor to use. I would have liked one like that, but I can,t complain with the one I got as a gift for Christmas. It is hassel free. No wires to plug in or anything, just pop the disc in the A: drive and you are ready to view. jim

Jim, which camera did you get? I haven't found one on the Internet that uses the regular ole floppy disks except the Sony MVC-FD73. And I've noticed on ebay.com there were 44 of them up for sale and they seem to be selling for about $400. MSRP is $599, but you can order them direct from Sony for $399.
