If I had to guess, I'd say about 10 inches have hit the ground so far.....no sign of it slowing down. The last 90 minutes dropped 2 inches on the ground. I know because that's when I started shoveling. Where I started has about 2 inches..... I'll be going out again shortly. My wife took the truck to work this morning.... Looks like the Focus is gonna get a workout.

Started the Cougar. She idled at about 1200 for a few minutes then went down to normal. Hasn't moved out of the driveway in 46 days now and I think it'll be another 15-20 at least.

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

I'm in magna, about 15 miles west of salt lake, and about 30 miles south west from ogden. my younger sister actually lives in Roy, so I head up that way a couple times a month. your kid drive any cougar/birds?

My son has mentioned Magna and Roy. They are looking to buy a house in the Ogden area. No, my son doesn't drive any T-Birds or Cougars. He has an 08 Mazda 5 right now. He did have a 04 Acura TSX until some idiot ran a stop light and totaled it. I am thankful my Daughter-in-law was not badly injured in that accident and the grand kids were not with her.

We got 10" of snow overnight and today. Got things cleaned up for now. Had to do in two shifts as I have take it easy on my back. I will be getting a snow blower for next winter, and every winter after.

Did I say I am done with winter. HAHA! At least the temp is in the 30s and not the single digits.

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

I just hope we all aren't getting out yearly allotment of moisture now instead of in the spring and summer. Was a hot, dry sumbitch most of last year here, I don't think I mowed the yard after June 5th...

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

Wednesday evening I shot outside at 6pm to plow the six or so inches we got.
I did my 1/4 mile driveway and the mother in laws 600ft one down the road a bit.
Made one pass down one side of my drive and headed up the other side back to the house. Broke a snow chain on one wheel half way home.
Im using one of those zero turn garden tractor mowers ~hustler brand & snow plow.
It was dark so I decided to take a risk and not fix the chain till tomorrow, instead put some more time on an estimate for a couple more hours.
Today comes,, today goes,,, and now I am at the point where its so deep I cannot even plow it. I don’t own a tractor anymore (RIP), so its official.
We are snowed in…….. and on Valentine’s day to boot which I will make sure is a very happy day for the wife and I.

I really wish I had chosen to fix my mower chain though, I would not be “so stuck”. 17inches so far

BO~ ill check in on your folks tomorrow,, long walk

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

Officially, today was the warmest day here since Mid-January= 30+F . Unofficially, it is the first time I feel the temperature has been above 20 F since New Years Day. Nothing has really melted because the snow pack is just too darn cold. Tonight the wind has kicked up---no doubt the suction from that vortex/storm hitting the east coast. So after the east gets the snow, I am sure this high wind follows right in there. There was a news story of a small town on the Mississippi north of here---their main water tank tower just FROZE up from the cold.

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

We had a little snow this morning, inch, inch and half. Everyone on facebonk is bitching. I said it could be worse, look what all the folks back east have been getting. Sheesh, am I the only one who isn't fazed by a couple inches of snow. I'll take that over a a foot and half or more, ANY day.

Stay safe people..

Was 59 today, over cast and windy, but hardly a dribble. I'm hoping wind will die down tonight. I'm dying to go flying and hoping to meet up with some local model airplane guys.

Yeah. So I'm done with winter.

We got another 2" of snow over night, but I see light at the end of the tunnel. The forecast for next week has three days with temps over 40 degrees. One day they are calling for 50+. I hope the weather forecast is correct.:D
