Sweet.!! What does the Dog think of all of it? As much as We dislike a long winter,it may help with the low water levels on the Mississippi. We haven't had a bad winter by ohio standards but it is dragging on.got about 5" this past Saturday. a week ago on Sunday it warmed up to 60* and then right back down. Stay Warm.

Wow, that looks like what winter used to be down in southern Minn back in the 60s and early 70s! How was the snowmobiling this year?

Friend of mineused to live up your way... whenever we complain about winter down here, he drags out the old story about the Minnesota winter when everyone's septic tanks froze solid :mrgreen:

I think I'll take the drought and wind down here any day :mrgreen: Heck, I'd move back to AZ in a minute if it weren't for all them people living there!

I should go find a picture of one of the snow blowers they use up here at work, a few more storms and you're going to need one like it.

Looks like an improvement over the gray, wet, 40 degree days we've been getting. Nothing else in the forecast either.:(

Yikes! That looks like an awful lot of snow for "dang near Spring". Meanwhile Oregon is having the nicest March I can remember (we normally get 31 days of cold/dry/windy or cold/wet/windy). Have had a couple nice bike rides, although snow on the backcountry passes has kept me from my favorite routes.

That same system is supposed to hit here this afternoon/night. 6" by the morning and another 6" throughout the course of tomorrow. Time to fire up the plow truck and figure out where to push it all!

We've had 20 inches of snow so far this March. Add another 4 or 5 inches after today. It's going to be a nasty melt off this spring.

We have had a very cold winter. But little snow. A couple snows that didn't stick much more than over night, and one of maybe 3" that stayed a week or so.

Most of the weather is going right over the top of us. Thankfully.

Me, like winter? Lets see, when I lived in Phoenix I said if I wanted snow I could always go to Flagstaff in the winter to see it. In maybe 40 years I went to Flag maybe two or three times. Seriously .... I can do without it.

Yeah, I remember that. Oh BTW, is there any desert left, or has Phoenix annexed it all by now?

Now that is a VIEW to behold. Especially if you can get up to the towers on an afternoon when the sun goes down before the park closes. You can watch the cities lights coming on as it gets dark in the east while it's still daylight in the west. The valley is that huge.

Here's a shot looking north from the towers at the top of South Mountain. It was taken for me by a member of Handloads.com. Sorry I can't remember his name.

I always rode up there at night and looked at the city lights.
Took a girl up there and made out on a little ridge, when we were through car lights came on horns honked and people cheered. We were silhouetted with the moon in the background :shock:
Life was good then :lol:

We've been hit pretty good this week with snow. Snow everyday this week with some ice earlier in the week. About 6 more inches last night of lake effect snow. Ahhhh...I love spring.
The time has come to stand for all we believe in.
