No snow in sight - WTH ???
Original Message Jan 9, 2013 12:05 pm

It's almost middle of January and less than inch of snow accumulation has fallen. There's no snow forecast in sight. The temperature is heading up to 50-60F this weekend. I'm excited about upcoming the warm weather but really want to see some real snow to play with.

Just saying, that's all. It's been quiet on this forum for the last 3 days. Too quiet. I'm going to shift over to collecting lawn mowers instead of snowblowers if this keeps up. Anybody feels the same way?

Yep - like a tumblweed, except they don't roll around like a snowball. Once they start they just roll alond on one axis. The ones we had turned out to be about 12 inches in diameter ang maybe a foot or so wide too. Just like cutting a strip of dough and then rolling it up.

Looked it up on wikipedia. Looks like a big roll of white cotton candy.

Finally got about five inches of light snow and it's still coming down. Not the best consistency. Looking out the window, it appears pretty fluffy. We'll find out soon enough.

Better than no snow at all... :( At least you'll get to use your SS and have a bit of fun! :)

Hooray !!
We've got snow on the way.

We got about a foot of fluffy stuff. Still snowing off and on but it's wind blown and finer. By tomorrow the snow should be more consolidated and better for putting the Murray to work. Going to be wicked cold though with the wind out of the north at about 20 mph. Nonetheless, everything is beautiful pristine white.

Don't blow into the wind, and don't eat yellow snow. WOOF!

Still no snow, although we will be breaking a record tomorrow night. The coldest temperature of 2012-2013 winter.

It is no FUN running into the 15 mph wind with a base temperature of -3F. No major snow (more than 1 inch) storm in the forcast for next 10 days. At this rate I better winterize my two snowblowers or move to Alaska.

I live near the southwest part of Lake Michigan. This is the second year of dismal snowfall that makes me think I'm living on the wrong side of the lake. So far, not seeing any "lake effect" snow. Maybe I should move to Lake Tahoe.

here in southern new jersey we had a dusting overnight and the temps dropped to about 15 degrees this morning, but, nothing to speak about.
