SNOW SUCKS!

So ALL the prognosticators had the snow bands west of us. I just wish once in a while they would try to look out their windows. Prob 17-20" and 10° right now. Kubota tractor fueled up and 4 way plow for attack mode. Two cups of coffee and solid breakfast then having my wife dress me up like 5yr old in snow suit. Just not looking forward to fighting thru snow to get to pole barn. Yippy Kai Yay ....

I live in Colorado, I've forgotten what snow looks like this year, is it that white stuff that used to fall from the sky?
 
The neighbor has a habit of leaving a large pile of corn out behind their place. it tends to attract deer & turkey, as one would suspect. The turkeys roost in a copse of red pine between their place and ours. They roost there regardless of the corn though, as it's a natural funnel between the roads with a powerline cut providing a path of least resistance.

There were about 8 or 9 birds in the pines this morning, wondering wtf we were doing making more loops through the snow.

2 more inches overnight with 4-6 by Friday morning.

We saw the sun for 2 days over the weekend. Now we must suffer for our indulgences with more snow.
 
We’ve had around 110” so far this year.
Snowed everyday since a week ago last Thursday?
My daughter has had about 160” and my Brother around 136” so far this year, but they’re closer to the lake (Ontario) than we are.
I e had one day this week that I didn’t have to shovel, but that’s winter in Central NY.
Fortunately we’ve had a video from our “lovely” Gov. Kathy HoeGhoul showing us how to shovel snow!
I’m not sure how we would have gotten through this winter without her!
God, she's an ugly spud. Looks like she could eat corn-on-the-cob through a picket-fence with them front teeth. :D
 
Always WTH when certain areas of country get blasted from precipitation and others are devoid of it. It always cycles around but sometimes not fast enough since we humans look at climate in our little window of existence. Heck, the ice age was just 9500 years ago and interesting to read how the great lakes were formed when it receded. And no, I did not personally recorded it in real time.

Similar here in Idaho. We are predicted for up to 3 inches of rain through tomorrow with lots of flood warnings

What a weird winter for weather

In WY, @ what point is considered 'high winds?'

Ya we get lucky on the wind storms I’ve learned in my 4 plus years here now , when are wind gusts are pushing 65 they’re 100 plus in the surrounding areas and into Wyoming
 
80 with tornadoes and hail Tuesday and sleet and snow Wednesday around noon. Mid 40's now with a high wind warning. Sunday night possible blizzard conditions. Yippee. :rolleyes:
