« on: January 12, 2019, 12:04:07 PM »

A normal winter for us (Northern Michigan) is over 140 inches. Our record year was 207.5 inches. We love snow! Bring it on!

We saw MO was getting it, my bro lives there, but nearer the southern end.

Not much for us here in Boise.  We got about 1½" three weeks ago, and it melted within hours.  We ran right out and bought a snowblower that day (we're not getting any younger) and so far that has been money well spent - the snowblower hasn't run since!

We grew up in Lower Michigan and went to school in da UP (360" of snow in Houghton that first winter there).  Then we moved to Alaska.  I've shoveled several lifetimes worth of snow.  The mountains need to get lots of snow for the skiers and the snow pack (summer irrigation water) but if it never snowed down here on the valley floor again, I'm OK with that.

Not much snow in Pittsburgh this year -- although it is snowing at the moment (1-2 inches expected overnight)...  But it has been seasonally chilly and lots of precipitation in the form of rain...  Frankly, if it had been cold enough to snow during all the rain we got, we'd have probably gotten 3 feet already...!

Three days ago it was 60 deg F here (bit of a freakish warm spell for this time of the year); within 48 hours it was 29 deg F and snow flurries... :o  I think I'm ready to go back to San Antonio (currently 63 deg F and sunny)...

Except for flurries and a couple of dustings, nothing to speak of yet in Boston. Visiting arctic highs have kept storms away, but have resulted in unseasonably wicked cold temperatures with serious wind chills.

Long range forecast may result in some snow at the end of next weekend, starting late Sunday.

Virtually nothing here in Memphis and I hope it stays that way for the duration of the season - no infrastructure to manage snow or ice here....

Living at the foot of the Rocky Mountains we have a scant 6".  Thirty miles West of me they have 36".  Yesterday the temperature was -19.5C.  That is a 3 dog night.

Having now transitioned from frosty Pittsburgh (where my brother reports it is snowing again today), I'm happy to report that San Antonio remains snow-free and 60 deg F...! :)
