It started a bit after 7:00 AM here and my chickens are really really mad at me. I didn't open the coop door and let them out.

krooser, please aim that fan towards Florida, got to share this white stuff with the vacationing woolly bears.
 
9:30 am and we have about 6-8 inches already in the Berkshires. Winds are picking up blowing the snow every where.
Suppose to turn to freezing rain this afternoon. Thanks going to suck.
 
We got a couple inches and now it's going to pour rain all day.
Icky mess and no plowing out of it.
 
Started at 6AM here, snowing heavy since. 6-10" then supposed to change over later this afternoon. Hey, it's almost winter in New England.

At work right now, but I got my Ice Pellet bucket out at home. Yesterday's hour by hour forecast showed them to be dropping between 1 and 3 this afternoon. Gonna burn them babies tonight !!!!!
 
We had 6 inches in South Dakota and a balmy high of 5 degrees with 20mph winds. Low of -10 degrees tonight. Ridunkulous.

Can anyone say "Thanks Al Gore"?
 
Yeah, I'd like Al Gore to come visit North or South Dakota in late January or early February and just feel how warm the Earth is. Hopefully the battery on his Prius would freeze.

Easy, easy there guys.....you might offend Krooser, the OP of this thread.....he's a BIG fan of Al boy (not). He waves to Al every time Al flies over his house in his big Gulfstream II private jet spewing tons of carbon into the air....oh, wait a minute.....Al asked "Can you say "carbon credits" ?
 
Ayuh. Pretty much winter out there. Only 6 more months 'til summer. Blackflies.
 
This is just beginning....

Gee this sounds like you'll need an additional 20' added to your vent system. Look on the bright side after you get the house completely covered it will be well insulated. Perhaps you can claim the snow as an energy savings tax credit when you file those little guvmint tax forms.
 
13 inches of snow this morning and it's been pouring rain since around 3:00. Good stuff.

I don't blame you.
 
Well this nice system yall are gettin right now just left Colorado, and we are still fightin off the 40 mph wind gusts and the negitive high temps with super low negitive wind chills. Yep, you guessed it, I actually gave in and fired the propane boiler up. But it'll get shut down again in about 2 days.
 
We wound up with 16" overnight... the old Cub Cadet blower got a real workout ... the snow was real heavy and wet... reminds me of an old girlfriend...

here is what I found in my driveway this morning, I didn't even see it until I turned the corner in my driveway.

There were branches down all over in downtown mad today. I wish I would have taken some pictures but I was in "work mode" and not thinking about it at the time. Was crazy looking down there, snowed in cars, branches all over, people wondering around in the street everywhere. I parked in a snow bank between two branches in front of a meter... thought for a second about putting some quarters in then looked around again, no way parking enforcement was going to be driving around.

I had to go do a preview for a new fireplace at an all girls sorority house :)
Wasn't going to miss that one just cause of a little snow.
