Storm Q?
« on: February 22, 2013, 04:58:43 AM »
1) Got any snow? Minor snow fall here in central Minnesota, but slippery. Supposedly more farther south.
2) What's with naming snow storms? Seems stupid and hysterical to me. What's next? Grief counselors at work whenever it rains?

Yeah, got about 18" here in the middle of Kansas. Started Wednesday morning and ended about 5:00 PM yesterday. Cleared off the driveway, then the city came by and plowed the street, put about a 3' pile across the end of the drive. Thanks a lot!

We had 5 inches wed, just about all gone by midday thurs. Easily the biggest snow all year here. A little spotty on ice this morning. Should be sucked up in the dry air today.

About 5-6" of the glorious white stuff here in West Central WI and it's still falling.  Our Jr. group meets for our final XC skiing lesson of the season on Monday.  -Last year at this time, kids were wearing shorts.-
 
XC trail conditions are phenomonal.  I've been out more this year than any other year of my life (I think).  The Berkie is tomorrow and I can only hope they have received as much fresh white as we have here.  They've had a lot of poor snow years and this ain't one!!!

I ended up with 6" or 7". Not as much as was predicted but I'm not complaining. We really need moisture but I'd rather have rain and warmer weather. I'm about 12 mi. from a major route so my roads are still nasty. Sun is shining today. That will help. Suppose to be another coming Sun. nite & Mon. Looks like March will be coming in like a lion. Oh well after all it is still winter.
