Winter /Snow / Winds

[Winterrider]

Has everyone else just about had their fill of winter ? Our local news last night showed there was 55 days so far with below 0° temps . Not sure what snow totals for areas of the state are, it has been so hard to tell with all the winds to follow these snowfalls. Looks like the Northeast is going to receive our last jetstream this evening and tomorrow.
Just got done cleaning up from our last blizzard. Thought I better try and move some snow from back by the garden ( breaking fence ) to expose it hoping for a thaw. Probably wouldn't see dirt until late May otherwise. It blew in very hard so had to chop all with shovel. Just did length of the garden as there is 6' banks up ahead. Can see tip top of fence post in photo #2

At least you have the JD to help out. I feel your pain, we didn’t get it as bad as you guys did but was still terrible here too!

That has to suck! Is that somewhat normal snowfall and drifting for you? Living in Iowa I definitely understand what an inch or two with 40 plus mph winds can do. We are currently about 12 inches of snow under our normal here...knock on wood!

WOA dude thats some snow! I wish that was here….I love a huge dummer snow storm

We had a pretty mild winter but ended up with a ton of storms instead which was weird. I'm definitely over the rain. Luckily you are a winter rider

We are actually well below normal snowfall totals but the winds have been absolutely ridiculous. The field on the back side of the tree claim is just about bare.

Are you using a bucket on your lawn tractor ??? Get a blower... I put a 6' blower on my Jubilee and clean the driveway in 20 minutes.. 250' of driveway and turnouts etc.... used to take 4 hours with a back blade...

I hear ya! I keep a snowmobile around for just the same reason. Only have 1 1/2 miles to drive to do chores but at times the snowmobile is the only way to get there. And that's with having a 130 hp front wheel assist tractor with 8 foot bucket.

I like everything in that picture except for the color of your garden tractor.

Looks way to cold for me

 

[indaswamp]

I agree with piney! High here today was 84*F....that front stalled just north of Baton Rouge. Sucking the wind from the SE fairly strong today though.

Shut the F up!!! You are gonna jinx the entire upper Midwest!!!

 

[Steve H]

Yeah. Had enough. More today. Up to 8"

 

[DRKsmoking]

Yes we have had enough here for sure. Not like winterrider in the amount on the ground . But 7 weeks 7 storms. Another one today and tomorrow.
Today another 10 - 20 cm of snow and - 12 and add some heavy winds
It's the High winds, -20deg. than + 12 and rain than the ice storms.....Yes I am done with winter, I also want to go fishing , but not through the ice.

Here, too. Fished yesterday and water absolutely slick as glass...

Wife is from Switzerland and is never cold.
Haveing said that she doesnt want to ever relocate to snow country.
I'm a hypocrite. I love winter but hate being cold.

Wow! I sure don't miss Michigan winters. We have had couple ice storms. We are thawing out of one right now but all in all been a very nice winter here. More like spring. Guess we lucky. Good luck.
