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?

Nemo left me witt 26"+ of snow. 3-4 drifts too. I was outside 8 hrs straight snow blowing. The town push back the corner into my front yard and buried access to my oil fill pipe. Left a 6' high pile.

8 hours, maybe that's a little too much of a good thing!  We often forget those unsung heros who deliver our heating oil in rain sleet or snow. I always blow the extra 10 feet for a path to my fill pipes and the delivery man always writes me a thank you on the receipt  he leaves in the mailbox!

  Another Massachusetts snowman here.   We got 24 inches of nice  throwing snow.

Wind was a bugger,kept changing directions. Snowed for almost 23 hours straight.  State shut down,No vehicles allowed on road.

Stores closed ,etc.

 I finally dragged out my 5 yr. old  Ariens 7/24 .  This machine did itself proud. Took snow over the bucket, and kept churning along.

Long Island, NY checking in. Finally some snow! Some areas received from 2 to 3 feet of snow especially northern and eastern areas. They were rescuing people off the LIE(495) with snowmobiles! In my area on the central south shore we got a foot to a foot and a half. I'm totally enamored with my toro 221. It got no use last year of course so this is the first time I've used it since the winter of 2010-11 which is when I bought it. I was impressed then and I'm still impressed. This machine rips through anything. EOD and the more compacted snow just means narrower passes. Had to let the snow sit for most of the day as I had to go to work early Saturday. I was worried but it handled it just fine. The bottom inch or so was very crusty and icy as we had had 2 inches of rain prior to the snow sticking. It was a little bumpy but it just tore through it or over it. No 2-stage remorse anymore. I'd buy it all over again. Happy snowblowing to you all!

Still no new snow for a while, BUT.....lotsa Old snow piling up cause it blew real hard all last night - got four foot drifts right down the driveway bout 200 feet of it!  So hard you can walk on em and not leave tracks.  Think I'm gonna call in the guy with the Bobcat cause I don't wanna try to tackle that stuff with the Honda.  Wind chill is -35 too!

I just found out where the missing snow is ... Phoenix!  They're freaking out down there right now.

I heard you guys might get some good amount of snow (+8") this week.   We are expecting 4-6" this Friday.

The forecast is for 2-5 inches Thursday night into Friday for Chicagoland.  There might be more snow further up north in Wisconsin.

Im sure they're freaking out to see snow, but that itty bitty 2 incher is not going to explain why my area is missing some much needed snow.

Maybe it was all 40 inches and the first 38 melted on the trip south? :D

Big storm forecast to be here around noon on Tuesday, bringing 6 inches of snow to Chicagoland area.  Hopefully it materializes and not a big weatherman hype.
