    Nothing compared to some of you but no snow here, all sleet and ice. 20220223_202437.jpg 20220223_202440.jpg

    Just to clarify,

    My snow pictures above are not from this year.
    They were from a 54" dump we got in the Adirondacks a few years ago.
    I haven't had enough snow in Michigan this year to even shovel my deck.
    I have kept it clean with a push broom.

    I don't think we will see this kind of snow here,

    It was a tad snowy there.

    This was May 05, 2018, during a power outage.

    They called the official total at the airport 1.2” of sleet.

    Todays event didn’t materialize here like they said, it was more east and south.
    There was some legit thunderstorms this morning that moved from East Central Oklahoma into NW Arkansas.
    Freezing Rain, sleet, AND hail at the same time. Thunder and lightning as well. Crazy stuff.

    We had a few thunder rumbles here yesterday morning during the sleet.

    Roads look snow covered, but it’s all sleet and ice.
    Crazy slick, lots of accidents and vehicles that stop then cannot go again.

    I think we got about 3" total of sleet/ice. We also got the thunder sleet which was pretty cool. Branson isn't the place to try and dive in this either, not that any place is but with all the hills and winding roads without curbs, it can be bad.

    That's a lot of snow, for sure. But when I worked at Crater Lake National Park I was there for a record year. I'm shamelessly one upping you. We had 18 feet of snow on the ground in May. Not a fair comparison due to the elevation. I would go out the second story of my housing unit onto the porch, climb up on the railing and step up onto the snow to attach my skis or snowshoes. Good memories.

    The maintenance crew would clear snow from around the buildings with a D7 dozer. Roof-alanches killed some dogs and cars. Luckily no humans.

    I'll see if I can find some old pictures.

    Wow,

    I thought it was just me.

    I shipped one to Chandler Arizona a few weeks back from Michigan.
    It hit Detroit, then decided to go to Boston.
    I guess it smelled the ocean, because it went to Rhode Island for two days after that. Then Back to Boston for another 27 hours then got delivered in AZ the next day. Go figure.

    I have way to many of these episodes.

    This is probably the worst. Springfield is just north of here, about a 45 minute drive lol. Go figure. Screenshot_20220225-144727_USPS Mobile.jpg Screenshot_20220225-144734_USPS Mobile.jpg

    Today was my birthday. How old am I? Old…old cantankerous and mean old. (53)
    I suppose I could take it easy, pull slack, just for today right?

    ....... drive and determination, plus the knowledge that it annoys fancy young people who probably can't keep up with us anyway ... ;)
