I've been told that orange tractors cause global warming... and posting in the wrong forum doubles the effect! /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif.../w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Re: Were is the snow.....
Yesterday - 62 degrees, and one of the few sunny winter days in Michigan. Last night I was driving home from work at 1:00 am and it started snowing the largest clumps of snowflakes I've ever seen. They were 1 - 1.5 inches in diameter, floating to the ground. With these snow"flakes" falling toward the windshield I thought I was going into Star Wars Hyperspace. This am, 22 degrees and four inches of snow. The trees were coated since there was no wind. This is the view out my sliding doors across my deck.

Re: Were is the snow.....
Chris, I don't have any snow/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif, but yesterday morning's low was 51 at my house and got over 60. This morning it was 20 and now at noon, it's only gotten up to 37, clear, sunny, and 23-36mph north wind. Supposed to get colder tonight./w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif I'm just as happy to not have the snow, but that's a pretty picture anyway.
I had to dispose of a dead cow for a neighbor yesterday; sure glad it was yesterday instead of today./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Re: Were is the snow.....
Bird,
Regarding disposing of a cow - what do you do - bury it? To keep the question relevant to "Where is the snow", what happens in the winter in areas where there is snow and frozen ground?

Re: Were is the snow.....
Chris, I suppose the "best" thing might be to bury them; don't know. But what's actually done is drag them to a far corner of the ranch and leave them. The coyotes and buzzards (actually turkey vultures) will clean up everything but some dried bones.
My rancher neighbor is down after knee surgery and a massive infection; still getting an IV bag full of antibiotics each day, and his grown son found the cow down Sunday afternoon (believed she slipped and fell and broke bones in her pelvis). Anyway, the son and grandson got the cow into the trailer and hooked up to the truck, but then the son had to take off to take his wife to the hospital (baby born Sunday night/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif), so my neighbor called me to ask me to take that cow to the slaughter house Monday morning. However, yesterday morning she was dead, so I drug her out of the trailer and back to where he's taken dead animals in the past, moved the trailer back to the loading chute where he keeps it, and unhooked the truck, and put it back where he normally keeps it.
So of course, the way he does it, it doesn't really matter much what the weather is like, and even though we have some cold weather, and just rarely a little snow, the ground will never be frozen an inch deep.

Re: Were is the snow.....
Wow! That is really pretty. We had one snowfall this year in North Texas that looked just like that in the morning and was all melted off by the end of the day. It's pretty, but I think one snowstorm per year is enough for me./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Yep, but the forecast is for a 20-30% chance of snow this weekend./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

---so does that mean you'd like to wager some of your "fixed" retirement income on how reliable the forecast may be? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
