Where's the Snow???

Where\'s the Snow???

I dont know about the rest of you New Englanders but down here in Massachusetts it has felt like Mid May rather than Dec 1! This trend of middle 50's (and no end in site) is starting to take its toll on my soul. I have my plow all ready and my eyes plastered to the heavens but not a drop of white stuff has fallen. Has anyone yet had the joyous task of clearing their driveway of what now seems surreal white fluff ?

Ben,
Had a couple of good dusting of snow this week but no plowing yet,and after last winter in one of my post I promise not to pray or pount for snow...learn my lesson.
At this time the temp 60 degress up here and feels good...must be I'm getting older.

Maybe all your snow is here, in Utah! In the last 9 days, we've gotten 2 1/2 FEET of the light fluffy stuff (typical Utah powder.) Its all I can do to keep up with it! I've run my tractor (Kubota B2710) 10 times in the last 9 days clearing various snowfalls. With compaction, we still have 18" on the ground.

Not that I mind. I live for winter. My favorite past time is snowmobiling. We'll take our first real ride this weekend!

The attached picture is from last year, although the tractor looks the same, we have more snow already than in that picture. Gives the gist of things though.

Not me /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif So far whatever snow we've gotten here has melted right off. Temps up in the 50's today.

No complaints from me about the current lack of snowfall either./w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

When the temperature drops you could make a little of your own with a garden hose, an air compressor and some plumbing parts.

Now that is a cool snow machine! I thought I was hip with a curtis on the front, now I see one with a blower behind...GWE (green with envy.)

No snow here and don't miss it one bit. I actually heard that the NE is going to take the role of the South and visa versa. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif I wish.

Ben -- We had five inches of heavy snow a couple of weeks ago. I didn't plow it hoping more would come soon. But like you, Northern Vermont is bare of the white stuff. Today was t-shirt weather clear up to the high thirties with nary a flake in sight.

Ever hopeful, I put the ice chains on Clementine. Put the winch away for the season and will put the blade back on tomorrow. But the ten day forecast calls for scattered showers here and there. Global warming..?

We all seem to forget how last winter went. /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif You all got more than needed. Click here for a thread that Thomas started last year. It may refresh your memory of how last winter went in New England. /w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif/w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif

Global Warming.... Maybe? However, I have heard that this year is supposed to be a good snow year for the Northeast due to the minimal impact of El Nino on us. What has everyone else heard?
