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?

Hooray !!
We've got snow on the way.
For the next few days, cold temps, snow and strong winds.

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.

Blew bout a foot of fluffy snow yesterday - but it was covered with bout a half inch of ice cause it finished with rain.  Gonna be -33 tomorrow.  Temps have been up and down like a yoyo here.

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.

+3*F here this morning but no snow in sight except for a few flurries (30% chance) forecasted on Saturday. The long range forecast is calling for temps in the mid to high forties here by this coming Wednesday. Our chances of a white, snowy winter are growing less likely as the weeks roll on....

Expecting SOME lake effect snow overnight.  1-3 inches possible.  It's not much, but    I'll take what I can get.
