[Bearcarver]

Love it! wish we had that much snow at our house! send it over to Utah please :)

And Thanks for the Like.

Bear

Looks awesome! Love your house/location. mine is a bit more coastal... I live about 1.5 miles from the sand...

Thank You Tuck!!
I spent a Year in Hawaii, and couldn't wait to get home to my PA Mountains.

Bear

I like the photos and it would have been nice to see it in person and then leave, but I don't want it. I had enough of it when I lived in CT and MA.

Thanks Rob!!
This one was a Doozy!!

Thank God it doesn't snow here where I live in So Cal. I love looking at pictures that other people send but I have never once lived in it or wished anything like that would happen near me. You guys are welcome to all of that extreme weather.

Holy cow Bear!! That's a ton of snow...actually a lot more than a ton. I haven't seen snow like that for 25 years since left Northern IL and moved to TX. Fortunately though, I do have a Kubota also in the unlikely event that we get enough here to warrant getting the tractor out. Got a 4WD truck too but no plow attachment. Great pics sir and thanks so much for sharing...as I sit here in 80 degree temps wearing nothing but swimming trunks and sipping a cold beer

Don't miss the snow,
Robert

LOL---I think about 95% of us would agree with you on that.

Bear

I have the same problem with a big snow, where do I put it?

I have plenty of places to put it, but it would be too long to carry it.

Your welcome.
I have the same issue of moving it a distance.
Neighbors are amenable that I have to blow it from my yard into the next yard then on to the third yard.

Forgot to ask

...
My Smoking & Grilling porch, with windblown snow over everything. This is all under roof:
View attachment 483139

...

I see a genny on the porch. Did you lose power or skip by?

When I lived in greater Seattle, storms often meant power loss for hours up to days.
The worst was a Christmas storm and we were in Minnesota visiting family. Luckily, our friends and neighbors realized the opportunity to use my generator and house to stay warm. Win win for both parties!

 

[SmokinEdge]

It’s all good. Luckily there is no snow in Colorado! Flip flops and shorts here buddy. Be safe, and take care.

 

[HalfSmoked]

That all looks great just keep on keeping the storms north.

We lose power a lot here, mostly because the lines are old, and we're the farthest from the source, her in the Boonies. However we lucked out this time, and didn't lose it for a change.
One time was 6 days, and Bear Jr had to Drive 3 towns away to find gas pumps that worked, to feed the Generators.
With that 7500 Honda, I can power everything but my Heat pump. Then my Bryant Hybrid switches over to Propane Gas Back-up, so we can stay warm. That's why I got that whole set-up.

Boy howdy Bear, looks like it'd be a good time to have a team of sled dogs! Stay safe. RAY

Thank You Ray!!
Yup---But we only have one Dog & 3 cats.
The Dog is a Brute, but the cats can't pull a bit!!

Bear

I'd like to see a snow like that once. But that would be it. I'd be setting in a recliner drinking coffee and waiting on it to melt.
Jim

Thank You Jim!!
Once should have been enough for me too.
I'm in the recliner, but it's with Ice Tea, while it melts.
And Thanks for the Like.

[Bearcarver]

I enjoyed the pics. Makes me appreciate that I am not there though!

LOL---I enjoy the Pics too!
Thanks Brett.

Bear

Damn Bear that won't melt until July! OMG so much snow! You guys stay safe.

Thank You Randy!!
LOL---Yeah, I'll be here awhile!!
Of course, it doesn't help that it's been snowing pretty good this morning, and we got another 2" on top.
Bear Jr's out there plowing again!!

Bear

 

[Bearcarver]

That's one heck of a snow storm Bear. Glad you got it covered with support and Family. Great pictures. Continue to stay safe.

Thank You Mike!!
Yeah, I could never handle this stuff any more---Those days are over!!
And Thanks for the Like.

Bear

Some how we dodged the bullet and didn't get what they called for us to get. Maybe 5" if that more rain than they thought we would get. But I'll take it compared to what they thought we were going to get.

Warren

LOL---We just got 2 more inches this morning!!
Thanks for the Like, Warren.

And Thanks for the Like.

Bear

Nice pictures Bear. They’re always nice to look at but never a joy to be in them.

We got less snow my way, about 24”. I’m over it plus it’s supposed to go into the single digits next week. At this rate, we’ll have snowpiles until June.

Thank You Xray!
And for the Like.
Yeah, those Temps coming up in the next few weeks don't look good!!

Bear

 

[Bearcarver]

Dang, now that's some snow ! Pretty Pics, Just Keep it up your way. If we got that much Snow in East Texas it would be a Disaster

Gary

Thank You Gary!!
I promise I won't send you any---We'll try to melt it here.

Bear

Amazing pics that show your prep and adaptation. Stay safe and warm, Bear.

Reminder to self: never complain about rain again.

Thank You Ray!!

Nice pics Brother we skated on this 1 got 2 to 3" of heavy wet slush
Richie

Thank You Richie!!
Yeah, you snaked by this one---You can have the next one!
We won't be selfish!

Bear

That's a bunch. We had one with about 24" last year. Guys with the plows didn't have anywhere to push it anymore. I use blower to get it the hell out of the way. Suppose to be in for 4 -7" this weekend with temps in the - 20° and winds. Gonna put a halt to my ice fishing for awhile.
Very nice pictures...

Thanks Rider!!
I know we can probably match your snows, but thankfully we don't get below 0 near as often as you guys do!! You seem to make it a Habit.

It is in Masthope, a community in Lackawaxen. I have been on the Shohola reservoir, Lake Wallenpupak and Westcolong lake. I hope to kick up the fishing now that we put a 17' boat in garage this past fall.

Those were all my favorite Trout Streams, except "Elbow Swamp" which is one of the best Black Bear Swamps in Pennsylvania.
