We got about an inch total last night. I'm sure it actually precipitated more but it was the heaviest wettest snow I can remember so it compacted well.

[jim]

79" is the official snow total for the year here.

[go birds]

left home this morning without a coat because it wasnt needed, but left work and froze my goddamn ass off because it was 46 degrees outside!!!!!!!!

[jim]

I just wish all of this snow would go away. SO sick of it. It's over 6" deep in the yard still with mounds 4' high. Hoping we can really start getting rid of it this weekend before the next bought of snow comes in next week.

[jim]

About an inch of snow expected tomorrow night. I'll bet it's April before we get rid of this crap. I'm starting to see bare spots in the back(south facing), but the front is solid snow pack. Sick .... of .... it.

[go birds]

p dumb winter aint it doe

[jim]

Grass! I see grass! In my front yard! WOHOO. I haven't seen that in months. It's just a tiny patch, about the size of a pitching mound. But I'll bet by the end of the day it will grow quite a bit and then of course it will snow and cover it back up.

I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Today is brutal, feels like mid January, and a bad mid January day at that. But ... after today all of the high temps forecast are above freezing. 36 tomorrow, then 53, 45,47,54, and 43. Not exactly the tropics, but at least it will continue to melt the snow.
