Yep. Glo busted the truck out today and we got some more milk an bread and bum wad. So where there's been no removal there could be close to 42" covering open ground.  |

And here I sit in Central Verminmont...
Looking at bare ground in spots....
I don't think we're out of the woods yet though...
there's still PLENTY of time for us to get buried.
It is only February, after all.!

Amazing. Up here in NH I've got most of the grass visible, and though it's been cold, there's not been to many days below 20 which is ok.
I figure we will get it all at once at the end, March and April snow isn't unsual, and some really big ones have come in that late.

Derb, Look on the bright side. Another couple of feet of snow and you'll be able to *walk* around your treetops and secure all the antennas good for next season.  |

It must be time for another AM Transmitter Rally on Wednesday! I'm in. I'll be there on 3733kHz tonite. I think I found the source of all my distortion problems, Karl. It'll be good to beat on the setup for a while and make sure. |

Another couple of feet of snow and you'll be able to *walk* around your treetops like hell. My fat ass would go straight down to terra firma, even with snowshoes. They are now talking about 50 mph winds tomorrow and using the B (as in blizzard) word. I will be using the F word, the S word, the MF word, and the GD word if it takes my antenna down.  |

Well this one kinda died. It didn't live up to the hype.
I only had to plow twice and the total additional snow was only 10".

I'll say. Not only that, JN was the only one to get anything at Frostfest this year, and he's not even here!
All Greece has to deal with are more of those workers party strikes.
I just hope they get things cleaned up enough for the trip to Syracuse this weekend. I-81 is closed last time I checked.

The snow has stopped here, 11 miles south of Allentown, PA.
The barometer is rising.
I didn't go to work today, needless to say.
I forgot to measure the snow depth whilst outside running the garden tractor/2-stage snowblower, but I think we have around 17" of heavy snow. I hope we don't loose power overnight.
I may not go to work tomorrow, or may attempt with a 2 1/2 hour delay.
If I don't go to work Thursday, I may be on 75 AM.
* 2/11 7:30 a.m. 19" of snow.

44" on flat ground here. me and glo are literally snowed in. we do have lots of food and bum wad, at least a weeks worth.
the chuck roast I announced on the WFDN with carrots and taters was really good. As long as Allegheny Power keeps kicking ass with the power, we're good. Should have gotten some duraflames for the fireplace when we did get out, would have been an idea, that. Next time we get out , I'll make sure I get some.
it's bedtime here @ home....now's time to get under teh covers and be pounced on by kitties. kitties make excellent natural organic heated blankets as shown.
tonite will be a 4 to 5 kitty night however.

Tim, don't wake the cats suddenly or you'll look like you were in a knife fight! I think the local TV said we got another 19-20". Picture was taken at the east end of my QTH leaving town....Guess the state forgot us for now. Nobody in and nobody out |

To those of you in the middle atlantic and midwest, your next storm just went through Southern OK and North Texas today. We have about 4 inches of the wet type on everything. Get ready for another then it should settle for an extended period.
The temps should not go very low with this one. Snowed almost all day today but the high tomorrow is in the mid-40s.

Just saw that they got 7+ inches in Dallas, Jim. And it's heading this way. Steve/HUZ and I have been preparing to head north to pick up a transmitter in NY, but it's looking more like we will reschedule for (hopefully) better wx.
Nothing here in NC but flurries since we got 8" a few weeks back. but it looks like that might change.
