Who is excited for snow season? Not us! We're depressed due to lack of snow.

40s for the next 15 days here.

Yeah, I have 5-6 inches still in the woods, but my driveway is back to 95% gravel. Was pushing 50 yesterday. I have a couple inches in the forecast for next weekend but not holding my breath.

Ya, it really sucked. I had a mile of trails groomed to drive horses in sleigh and i groomed a figure 8 course in arena. All are now pretty much slush and dirt.

sucky winter so far.

We had 5-6" of wet heavy garbage on top of unfroze driveways and field roads and feed lots.
What a damned mess. Several hours outside today between clearing the driveway and walks and such.
Had to do it all in short pushs with the back blade backwards. At least the tire chains brought some dirt up into the packed snow, was wishing a few times I had put the front chains on the tractor.

Pushing the blade backward to kind of squeegee the snow and not dig gravel,

slowly making progress

heading back up should be good enough, (my vehicles can make it )

Swans are back in the areas by the inlets to local lakes.

I've got green weeds on the edges of my gravel driveway. They are tough weeds but still five weeks early.

Jealous of those who are getting snow. While we have about a foot on the ground, it's not nearly the winters of a decade ago. Snowmobile season really hasn't started unless you want to ride on snirt at locations along the way. Haven't had a need to break out the snowshoes, boots are plenty with such little snow.
On the positive side, my wife, who hates the cold, appreciates the milder temps of 20's and 30's. Views are still pretty though.

We were out on our trails skiing late today and found ski conditions surprisingly still good. If we get snow overnight as predicted AND temps get cool enough, we will regroom the trails in the morning.

Are your trails for personal use, or do you allow public to enjoy as well?

We have robins

Ours never left. (they really don't leave. They flock up and just go deeper into the bushes looking for berries)

Here's a picture of some on January 10. There were flocks and flocks of them up here. Even the week when it went to -16F.
