Bowtie-ers in the North East... Be careful hope all of you are safe...Stay warm and keep out the weather. So far weather here in Ok. has been really mild
It's Sunny and 72 degrees here...Just came in from the shop..had to clean up some mess from various projects

FatnLow,
I was going to start a thread because I didn't want too highjack Sammons thread. We have about 17" so far. Towns just east of us here in New Hampshire (towards the coast) have up to 25". Got the day off from work as most places are closed today. It's 18° here. Here's a couple of pics. Guess what kind of car my wife drives ;D (picture was taken earlier today)

Tom ...If we had that much snow here we would be immobilized ,this part of the country is not set up for any large amount of snow fall. Even with the small amount we do get, people act like fools ,over driving the conditions and running off the roads.
Stay warm and enjoy the event with the snow mobile....... ;D
Thought that was a snow mobile any looks like your out in the snow taking care of business
...way too much snow for me....
-
That's my little garden tractor with the snow blower attachment. I've made two passes so far and will have to do another later tonight. It's still coming down :D
-
got about 6 inches so far... at least the snow is light for once !
-
I wish we had that much in the Sierras. It is going to be a long smoky summer if we don't get something. We had to drive up to Tahoe this morning and it was snowing a little but they need a lot on top. Be safe back there, sit back and enjoy it. It will melt someday. :o
-
If we here in Ky. received a snow fall like that we be shut down for days as our governor sold all are snow removal equipment a few years back said we didn't need it. Is that a Prius under all that snow your wife is driving?
-
Hey Tom. It kinda looks like fun, but I am glad you are the one having the fun.
-
Even an old fart like me got all dressed up and got the skidoo out of the barn warmed her up and took a 18 mile trail through the bush I was out of the wind so it was a smooth run with the 500 liquid cooled bombardier vette59jdwl
-
Ended up with about 20". Not bad, the neighboring town south east of us got 30". Still have a little cleaning to do before we get more on Friday. Good guess 62131 but it's a Toyota Rav4.
-
We were predicted to get 30 inches in my ares but only got about 5...The storm went more to the east.I'm not complaining!!!!

YIKES. You guys are getting beat on. I am sure we haven't seen the last of it around here, but my wife was on the back porch with out shoes yesterday.

Tom Up north in CANADA we use our all teraine vehicles 4by4's with 4 foot snow plows on the front. I dont think my 18 hp lawn tractor would even start lol lol wayner
-
I hear there is another two feet on its way suppose to get here around Monday hang on and get the old snow machines warmed up
-
We didn't get any snow up here (Canada/US border)...the temps have been in the single digits off and on and without snow cover it is hard on our plant root systems.
-
Havent had any snow around here since x-mas :( . Maybe I'll put the snowblower away and pull the 32 out and drive it to work for a few days .

I'd have to put chains on the rear wheels of the 33 to take it to work tomorrow ;D

Ed I hope it does not effect my garlic
-
We were supposed to get 10", we got 2". Most of it is already gone but it is ccccold down here, in the 20's
-
Most times it would be great if the weather people would just look out the window to see what they are tell you isn't what's really happening outside . Weather is now refered to as a weather event ?
-
When the North winds blow ,they blow the trade winds further out to sea that is what happened it does not allow the trade winds coming up the eastern sea board to come inland ,and blows whatever is in it out to sea It came aboard somewhere north of New York City. If the North trough had not done this New York city would have gotten pounded and some of you guys on the easter sea board would be still buried in the white stuff.That storm that missed you guys sort of started in Texas came across the gulf of Mexico and hit the northern part of Florida before going out to sea.Then when it was about to come inland ,It ran head long into the northern wind through that went that far south 500 miles south of us
-
I guess it would be rude to jump in here and tell you all how we got no snow down here, on account of it being Summer.
I won't even say that today is the first day we've had rain in weeks :D
-
We didn't get any of that weather and it stayed in the mid fifties but it's going to get colder this weekend.

Looks like both coast are getting hammered West Coast rains and NE area getting more snow what a pain in the rear for all in the Snow areas.... But here in Oklahoma record setting temp today 79 degrees...went in the shop and worked on a few projects then helped the wife on some of here auto related projects... Be careful in the snow areas ......
-
Just wait till spring you will get yours//is not that where Dorthy and Toto were from lol lol vette59jdwl
-
That was Kansas, but Kansas used to be in Oklahoma before a tarnado picked it up and dropped it where it is today. :o
-
We had family visiting since last wed from Iowa and california. They were sure glad to be here. We were sitting on the back porch, our temps were warmer than both places they came from, but in Colo it can change in an instant.
-
yay another foot up in NY . cant wait for this crap to be over with.
-
Well chevy guy we got that and more OH and i here more is on its way nice AH and Mike is in sandles and shorts in Whitby Ontario
-
Now they are talking 15 to 20 degrees below zero (Fahrenheit) this coming weekend? This global warming stuff is getting old.........
-
I don't know what's up with us just east of the Rockies. It's been in the 70's these past six days or so. Usually here in Feb It's around 30 for the highs. Tonights low is supposed to be 38 (f). I've had the windows open for a week now, I know it's going to bite us in the butt anytime.
-
damn winter, NO winter there , 70 degrees, that's definitely THONG WEATHER.
So make sure that butts in good shape and looking good for the bite of winter that's coming.
lmao

Actually as of feb 4th at 4 am I was supposed to leave for Tampa florida until the 28th February by truck.. Having the good luck of the Irish, the house we were going to be staying in a park got sold , with a demand from the buyer that she take possession February 6th.
So here I am still here giving a the snow blower about 4 workouts so far on the fresh white.
Supposed to be taking in Disney, Universal studios, and 3-4 days down in Key Largo keys till end of month.
THIS SUCKS

-
Mike you could Truck down this way, but by the time you got here it would probably be 5- and back to the usual 40mph winds. ;D Just leave your Thong behind though! :o
-
Well MIKE don't put the snow blower or the shovel away just yet today is reprieve day a day of rest well most of today anyways,watch out tonight and tomorrow another 8 to 10 with the temp dropping back to minus 12 vette59jdwl
-
Well we finally got some snow here nothing like some of you have gotten, but what's funny is the panic the news can cause when reporting. Oh were gonna get a foot or more, and everyone starts to panic and mobbs the grocery stores. I went to the store friday night, and what a joke. There were people clearing the shelves like there would be no tomorrow. I wonder what some of them would do if they lived back east.

Ain't that the truth! I only pay attention when it blows up from the south west, that's when we get the Deep stuff. Snow got here late last night. They are saying 6-9" by morn. They are usually wrong. 15° here, horizontal snow, 30mph wind. Glad I don't have to go out anyway. ;) Gonna be dang hard on my trees, they are all ready budding out from the nice false spring weather we were having. :-\
-
We've been dealing with 13" of snow fall here which is unusual for us, as said above people here went crazy also clearing the store shelves. There's been a lot of milk sandwiches eaten this past week. ;D
-
Finally had a day above freezing! Here is a picture I took today the same spot I took the picture of my 33 that's on the calendar this month. The other two are my backyard where my granddaughter's swing set got buried from the snow off of my deck, notice only the end of the top post is visible :o We just got another 6" last night.
-
Ghost28 Back East we just take that in stride you should see my barbaque area lol lol vette59jdwl
-
Well everything was going good this morning until the belt on my snow blower broke. Luckily I had a spare to get things cleaned up but I hate to interrupt the job to do a repair. Maybe I should think about replacing my 1962 Snowbird blower with a new one...Nah the new ones have belts too. :D
Moose
-
Back to MINUS 15 again this morning crazy weather snowed only two inches last night
-
I wish we had snow. It looks like a long smoky summer. You can keep your -15 though. ;D
-
it reached 76 in Mt. Pleasant yesterday, now it is going to freeze tonight. Some weather...
-
I was talking with friends in Tampa it went down to 30 also in Orlando and at the K.O.A. campground at the top of Lake Okeechobee 35 degrees. Up and Down like a Rolycoaster. vette59jdwl
-
We are dodging bullets down in Philly. It's been cold but so far have only had about 6" total snow all winter. Sorry to my buddies up north :(
-
I don't know how much we got, it all got blown down to Oklahoma. About 1" on the flat with some 2-3 foot north/south long drifts that look like sand dunes. Supposed to get more during the next two weeks.
1st pic sunday, you can see snow blowing down at the dumpster. Camera doesn't catch the rest blowing horizontally south.
2nd pic today.
-
.... Oklahoma got snow Monday about 3.5 inches where we live...We live at a Lake community , with a lot of hills went to town Monday to run some errands it was not snowing when we left by the time we got to town the snow was starting to stick to the roads. Did our errands and started to head to the house ,there is a lot of hills around here and people started to go crazy running off the roads and spinning out. Normally it's a 25 minute drive from the house to town it took us about an hour and 10 minutes to get home. We didn't have any trouble but the main thing was all the other people over driving the conditions. Some of people here couldn't stand a chance if they had weather like the NE has
-
We still have 6-7" left from last week, they are calling for 1-2" the next couple days then some ice then sunshine and in the 50's this weekend, this is strange weather for us here in so. central Ky.

You say 6-7" and 1-2"....we say 6-7 and 1-2 degrees Fahrenheit (and consider that warm lately).

We had one day above 32° this week. Next week might hit the low 40's. With all the snow we have i hope it melts slowly so there's no flooding.

I was talking with my bud back home and he told us it was going down to minus 20 again tonight so i am glad i am sleeping under the palm trees drinking rum in the tekie hut and listening to the ocean breezes vette59jdwl

8) It's going to -2 here tonight so drink one for me, I'll have to enjoy my Sailor Jerry's rum from my recliner tonight :)

soon as all this snow accumulation starts to melt , means somebody's gonna get flooded somewhere.
Get your inflatable raft ready in those places.

You have to go home some time, Vette, and old man winter will be waiting for you. It's been unseasonably cold here, in the 20's the last bunch of days. Though, it got warm enough to rain all day yesterday, but then snow all day today.....snow over frozen streets, ugh!!

-
This is why I don't mind "springtime " snow: It snowed all day here, yesterday. We got about 5 inches. It's 55 degrees today and by noon the roads were clear. Spring is here.......at least where I live ::)
-
Chopper i am drinking rum and heading out tomorrow.They tell us we will be at 32 thousand feet and all we will see is clouds till we land in good old Ottawa Ontario oh i cant wait to play in the snow and rain crapola vette59jdwl
-
Sorry, Vette, but all good things must come to an end. Seems like you were there for a long time, don't you miss home? ::)
-
ya and he is missing the battle of Ontario, the leafies are in town in Ottawa and leafies are doing their best to finish off the season with no more wins for the Connor McDavid sweepstakes.
Nothing like a Saturday nite with leafs vs senators in senators home rink. Where the opposition fans total more than the home town rinks fans

-
Well holy crap landed in good old Ottawa.It was only MINUS FRIGGING 12.got home late late late just got up about 1030 this cold frigging morning what a shock after 11 days of 85 to 90 sunny all day long so sunny one had to get in a teekie hut to drink rum or burn lol lol and home to this,was sort of a rain and snow combination UGGGGGG. I was talking with my daughter the baby in the familly and she was telling us they had specials on CUBA 275 dollars for 6 days and 300 bucks taxes so for 575 you could go for 6 days all inclusive.Can i go back lol lol vette59jdwl
-
I woke up to an inch of snow this morning. Not much but last week it was 80. It's sure got all the little birds confused. ;D
-
Lucky you ;D Spring has sprung here in Philly!!
-
Yeah isn't it great it was 78 here today getting thunderstorms tonight signs of spring, trees blooming :) :) :) :)
-
It's snowing sideways and the temp is dropping fast. It won't amount to much they say? I did get the lawn fertalized today before the snow set in. I guess the shop doors wil stay shut for a few days. :'(
-
Finally supposed to hit high 50's tomorrow the warmest it's been here since last October:) I have the day off so maybe my garage doors will be open but this time not to get the snow blower out!!
-
Wow ghost, I can see why the snow was sideways! It came through here last night on an ESE direction. Missed me by 30 miles north, but Wichita caught it. 68 to 89 mph straight line winds and hail. Lots of damage around there.
-
Weather man is calling for 2-4 inches over night. Will it ever end!
-
Dang Tom. Makes me wonder why we build open cars.
It's been great here this week so far, but there calling for rain late tonight into tomorrow. I don't mid a little rain. Weekend is gonna be nice and warm.
-
We are getting rain all this week it's suppose to be nice here this weekend also :)
-
Well Tom, spring is definitely here. At least you won't have to deal with these nasty critters yet. One of my buddies fellow co workers got home to this rattler at his back door this afternoon. He said he was glad he beat the wife and kids home!
-
Well the good news is no snow today..The bad news is we had freezing rain last night and everything is covered with a sheet of ice. I was going to prune my crab-apple tree today but I'd have to attack it with an ice pick first. It's suppose to warm up for the weekend but I've heard that story before. ;)

Holy crap, Sammons!! I would have pooped my pants!! :o Do you kill that thing or just chace it away? Nothing like that in my neck of the woods.
Rainy and cold all week, getting warm and sunny starting Friday through the weekend :)
-
Chopper, in populated areas around here they are killed. Their heads are cut off and buried. Out in the country they are usually left alone especially around varment areas (prairie dog towns etc., unless they venture into the farm house areas. The canyon areas to the south of us are full of them nasty things. I use to take my weed eater with me checking out old cars. Weed eat up to and all around them first, then proceeded with caution. They like it in the shade when its hot out (under and in the cars). :o

Sammons,
I'm not a big fan of snakes! You can keep them down your way. The worst we get is a skunk hanging out near the house. Not a big fan of those either :)

We have several springs on our property. In the desert where there is water there are rodents and where there are rodents there are snakes. Fortunately the Great Basin variety is not as large or aggressive as some of the others. Even so both of my dogs were bitten last year, one of them twice. I have killed dozens over the years around the house and yard, two in my shop. You have to pay attention. There are lots of funny stories, well they are funny now. ::)
-
Here's what my backyard looked like yesterday and this morning - again!...38 degrees during the night and snowing?...by 2pm the snow is gone as the temps near 50 degrees? Weird Winter...
Have a batch of Juneberries arriving next week for planting.

Ed...Maybe you should think about planting "Snow Peas" instead ;D
-
Mowed today for the first time this year and killed my first snake of the year while mowing. They seem to be out early.
-
Haven't seen any snakes yet, but I always do. My property backs up to the marsh and there is a lot of them out there. I am like Sammons and not a big fan, I don't go outside without looking hard. It has been in the 80s here and unfortunately they enjoy it to.
-
OK, who sent the snow down my way?
Its supposed to be Autumn, or I think you guys call it Fall, but anyways, it didn't happen.
No nice transition into Winter, just went from Summer, to cold. Snow down South, which is why the airs so cold.
Had to happen, but this quick?
You guys enjoy the Summer, post lots of pics, from sunny cars shows, I'll dig my thermal undies out, and somehow, I'll manage to get through it. :D
Lucky i have a big ol fire place to keep me warm, heres a pic from my back door.
-
That rainbow looks awesome. I woke up this morning to snow on all the house roofs, and cars around here. Good thing I powered up the sprinklers.
-
Ghost28 you still are getting snow this time of year :o
