Sunny New Mexico
www.linearz.com
We got fourteen new inches last night and it's still coming down. It is amazing how quiet the house becomes when it's blanketed in thick snow. I'd bet the snow has good insulating value as well - the house seems easier to keep warm.
 
....so you're in "sunny new mexico" and got
14" of snow and we are up here in New England
with no snow in sight?

I need some white gold up here!!!!!!!!
 
I was working on my roof the other day in t-shirt and shorts! In NJ in DECEMBER!
 
Not that the snow adds to the insulation but it prevents heat from escaping the house.

Full hunting season with no snow on the ground :(

Isn't that the same a insulating?

Yes I guess its the same.
 
Looks like we might get some of that this weekend. I hope so, It looks so gloomy with out a blanket of snow on the ground. But it will probably die out or turn to rain when it gets here just like the last storm.

I live on a lake and it still hasn't froze over due to the mild temps this year. No one around here can ever remember it taking this long to freeze over.
 
No snow on the ground in Upper MI either. So much for skiing and snowshoeing, or snowmobiling (big $$$ around here). Sadly, this has been the norm for most of the last decade. The holiday break needs to be moved back a month so we can actually enjoy it.
 
No snow in SE Wisconsin :down: Our forecast is for a couple days of rain this weekend.

It was also a green Christmas, which is a little depressing.
 
**********SNOW************

Yeah , The stuff Ryan (MountainStoveGuy) is keeping to himself in Colorado .

No snow to speak of here in Eastern Nebraska .... yet. Just t-shirts in December like last year.

I hear ya Sue.

Rumor has it Craig is looking to get 2 mil for his Ocean view property in western MA. It's a bit of a long view, but what the hay.
 
Now at 22 inches and still coming down. Took this during a brief pause this morning. I love it. It's dead quiet - there are no cars on the road. The forecast says it will stop tomorrow morning.
