We got 8" of snow on Jan 1 with winds and drifting.
We got 6" more on Jan 2 and the temps took a nosedive last night, down to -9* F when I walked out of the house today.

The dog loves it, I'm sick of plowing it and I can't post what the wife said. :shock:

I'm ready to move south to TN.

Nothing here in Utah-that big storm missed us but I still have 2-foot drifts from the storm prior to Christmas. Surely someone will post some M37 shots, recovering cars or something :)

8" here, no biggie. Even though listening to the news you think we were snowed in with 5' and wouldn't be able to get out for supplies for days :roll:

We have about 6" of white stuff on the ground and its -15 degrees actual temp and -20 wind chill. Sunday night and Monday night is supposed to be -19 and Monday during the day the high is supposed to be -12 and wind chill -50 degrees. Wind chill is adjustable though, run into the wind and it gets colder, run with the wind and it gets warmer. I have always said that during winter you can always put more on, but with hot temps in the summertime you can only legally take so much off :D the scenery is much better in the summer though :D :oops: We do need some more snow, the snowmobiles and the Studebaker weasel patiently waiting in the shed to come out and play :D

Snow?.....what's that? I actually feel bad now that I read your posts............I was cussing because it was 18 degrees on the thermo-meter when I got up.........but compared to you guys that's beach weather!! We did get a little snow last night in Southern Maryland, about an inch or two.....but not much stuck to the roads or other hard surfaces. The dog loves eating it though!

So do those Arctic Heater kits really work on your M37s?

Stay warm,
bob

-5 in mid Maine right now. about 18 inches of snow on the ground and nasty road conditions. I got run off the road this morning in my Jeep and it ripped the front bumper off and broke a back window. Other driver didn't even stop. Not a great day

We are all mad cause it's been cold and wet enough for us to have 3 feet of snow here in Birmingham. But no such luck. Of course, it only takes half an inch sticking to the roads to shut the state down! At least if we are going to be miserable and cold, throw some snow in to lighten the mood! You can't have milk and bread sandwiches without snow.

I've got just shy of 42" of standing snow on my sundeck, and its a balmy 0*C (32* for my southern friends) and the sun is shinning up here in the center of BC... However, I've got about 10" of snow to remove from the driveway, and I'm hoping the skid steer will start... 8)

9" of snow, drifting as much as 20" in spots, -6 degrees with wind chill of -25F. Tractor started and driveway cleared yesterday but drifted full last night :twisted: M safely tucked away in the new building away from weather and salt.
