Snow in 49 states

Danny, Most of the dang white stuff is gone, That's the good news, (>:

Up here in Northern NJ, we were spared compared to Southern Jersey and MD. Ole' man Winter dumped about 10" or so here this last storm. I hear we have another one coming, but don't know any accumulations so far. My snow blower, Honda HT, and 716H did the work of moving the white stuff, but down in MD. my nephew needed a payloader to do his 500 ft. driveway. He said he got 33" the first storm, and bout 18-20" on top of that with the second storm. He's about a 1/2 hour or more East from our boy Fred Lucabaugh .....

Up here in northern Mass the only thing on the ground is dirt. The last 2 storms have pasted south of us and the rain before that wiped out all the snow we had except the snow banks. Something coming Tuesday, maybe.

The good thing about all this snow we are getting is all the free nitrogen the ground is building up. LOL

 Got about 3" on the ground this morning in Monticello, Ga.  Pretty snow with electricty, thats always good not to lose power! Melting fast up to 45 at 11:00am.  Sam T-Ga.

To echo what Bill said above, in Bel Air, MD we have the left over of a 22 inch snow and an 18 inch snow.  It has caused a real problem here since we have snow equipment but not the heavy duty stuff that is used further north.  However, our snow crews have done an outstanding job and the roads have been plowed.  Our driveways were opened by two compact John Deeres with front end loaders and a Case bobcat.  Worked great but we the problem is where to put the snow.  In the city they are dumping the snow in the Chesapeake Bay.  Here we are just piling it.  I had to shovel my front stoop yesterday and was throwing the snow my height 5' 11".

Come on man!!

We got to get Brian to send us the sun early.  About 80 in Perth today.

Good luck!

Well, folks, despite your non-informed "so much for global warming" sound bites, global warming is here to stay. Just ask the polar bears. Anyone for travel through the famed "forever frozen shut" northwest passage? It's open now, for the first time in recorded bhistory. BTW, the erratic and unwelcome weather you have been experiencing (i.e. flods, drought, forest fires, etc) are here to stay, and will continue to build. You cannot deny reality with irrational sound bites, so live with it.

SOuther4020,

Yes we were glad to get the snow.  We need some good cold weather to help with the bug population.  But Im just as happy to see it gone.  On the bright side I got an unexpected day off from work to enjoy playing in it with the kids.  I realized I had a tractor collecting problem when after taking the kids pictures I had to go take all the tractor pictures.

Yep, today was a first.  I fed about 7 500lb bales, to 6head of cattle, thursday, before the first (30") storm.  Didn't think much of it, cause normally, that's about 2 weeks feed.  Heard the darn cows hollerin, actin like they were starvin.  They had ate up 3 bales closest to the barn, forgetting, or unwilling to hoof it over to the other 4.  So I went out with the ASV RC30 and the 4' snowblower, and set about clearing about 2/10's of a mile of a path to the other hay bales, through the residue of the first storm, + the 16" of the second storm.  I thought the woolly buggers wouldn't figger out what I was doing, so I set about clearing 2 bales I keep close, just in case of such an emergency.  By the time I was out of the gate, the wiley critters had been following the newly blazed path, and almost beat me out the gate.  Luckily, I looked behind me, and was able to block the gate with the loader, till the hungry buggers saw the other bales of hay, and charged it.  Got the gate shut, and no escapees, anyway!

Where I'm at in middle GA it was the first snow I recall sticking in about 10 to 15 years. There was some 6 or 7 years ago that stopped about 20 miles North of here. It's melting fast thank goodness. Don't need the power going out.
