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?

The snow is coming down hard.  Wet and heavy with high winds blowing snow sideways.  It's a mini blizzard but it's the biggest storm of the winter so far.

We had a blizzard here 2 weeks ago, and the 10" we got this weekend was like a dusting compared to that. I feel really sorry for anyone whose blower is out of commission for any reason. The plow guys made a bundle but lived on catnaps and coffee for 72 hours. I had to shovel about 10' of sidewalk that I can't get the blower to, just that was a job and a half.

Another big storm "Saturn" heading towards Chicagoland, bringing 7-10 inches of snow.  I'm stoked, Big Red is all fueled up and ready to go.

We are expecting 8-12" of snow by tomorrow afternoon.  Not too much this morning (less than 1").  I was hoping for no more snow but this one will be gone fairly fast.

We got slammed last week with a good foot of snow in two different storms. 

Last year on this very day, we had green grass sprouting on the lawn.  Right now, I have a good two feet of snow on it.  Unbelievably difference from winter of 2012 to that of 2013.

We got another 3" of wet snow this morning.  This is just getting old and old with these 3-4" Aberta clippers.  It is like watching "Groundhog Day".

10" on the ground right now and it's supposed to keep snowing til about 6 PM tonite. Don't get me wrong here - I like the snow but at this time of the year I look forward to spring (which is tomorrow BTW!). It's one of those years' where the ground is just about clear of snow and BANG! we get another foot or so and we're back to square one again...

Here in South Jersey we have only had a few very small snowfalls this year, in most cases 1" or less.   Never even put gas in my snowblower this year and have already put it back in storage and pulled out the Rototiller and tilled up the garden.
