Nic- just next door in North Brookfield and like you, we have just about enough to get interesting. Was helping my son move into an apartment in oakham this past weekend, it was cold enough to make Florida seem reasonable. ;D

As Crusty said, we had more snow in the last 10 days than is in the snowbank. It was all pretty fluffy so it compacted. Now it's a hard to move pack. Very tough driving this morning but only 3-4 more inches, more to come this weekend. May spring for a plow for my F150 next season. Nic

26" inches on the ground now and 3 or 4" expected by the weekend
makes the walks in the woods difficult

Oh look it's snowing…...

Damn near snowless winter here (like last year). Pretty mild winter (unlike last year). But we just got 3" or so the other day. Our snowblower-tractor is gathering dust (like last year) and our newly-purchased walk-behind snowblower ditto. Sooner or later we'll need 'em, out here in our rural digs. I am so ready to fire up the Breva.

We got a little..

Thanks folks. It doesn't seem as though driving south to ride is much of a viable option.

I guess we'll just have to find some other way to amuse ourselves.......... ...

It's pretty thin up here in Northeastern MN.

We're dwo for a foot or two starting twonight, maybe. It will be our first for the year. The lake has frozen enough to skid a widgeon, but not a swan. We wait until a swan goes azz-over-teakettle on landing before we try skating on it.

Saw some visiting mom in Colorado over a year ago. Miss the white stuff. Palm trees are happy and various stuff blooming in Sugar Land, TX

Time to shovel the deck

Make sure the grill is shoveled out first

Now shovel the roof of the guzzi cave

Forgot my brother Pierre was down below :)

Well thanks folks, you helped me make up my mind.
I booked a flight to the UK today for two weeks of hiking, rough camping and beer drinking :BEER:
followed by a week of riding around visiting friends and relatives on a rented Royal Enfield. :bike

It's a hard life, but someone has to live it. ;-T

It must be grim in Ontario if winter in the UK is an upgrade.

Here the temps are only in the low 20s. It's been trying to snow, but without any enthusiasm. What little there is is sticking to the sides of houses and such because of the wind. Juneau recorded gusts of 114mph, and the rest of the region went 75 - 90 for the record. We're supposed to get a fast foot or so and then a faster thaw over the weekend -- typical 'cold snap' for the region.

Have fun Nick old man . Any chance this will be a busman's holiday ?

Not in the traditional sense, so no grubbing about in the dirt.

I may take the occasional picture and draft a note or two though :o ..............or more likely, note a few drafts :BEER:

around 5 inches here in central WI. just barley enough to keep the Nordic XC-skiing trails open. Wishing for more snow here!

S. Az. 0" 75-80 and not a cloud to be seen! homes are very cheap in Green Valley.

Rochester, NY Today sunny and warm mid 70s. Tomorrow a little warmer with mild southern breezes. Great day for a long ride. Then I woke up. :-\

I was going to brag about no shoveling today, but then did some clean up in prep for 12-18" coming over the next 2 days. Running out of room to put the stuff in towns here - front loaders now hauling it out. Kind of fun so long as the heat stays on (and you have a roof over your head).

rodekyll · « **Reply #50 on:** February 07, 2015, 08:35:38 PM »

Snow on the sides of houses this week, but due to the wind, none on the ground. Today we got an apathetic attempt to whiten it up, but it's more like sprinkles on a cupcake than real snow. We did get the first round of skaters on the lake this morning. The city puts up temporary stadium lights so the kids can keep at it all night.

In the interior they're beginning to complain. I guess they all put their snowshoes on in September and it's getting awkward walking around in them.
