    Some may have snow and some of you may not have gotten any. But try and beat this. Our news channel is saying since we got out first snowfall in November until now we have received about 40 inches-thats almost 4 feet of snow. Just from tuesday until yesterday (wed) we received up to 14 inches. schools were closed for 2 days. I have some picts, I'm just trying to find a few minutes to load them and get them on. Will post them as soon as I can.

    Holy smokes Petunia - we've had snow since November too, but definitely not 40 inches! And the kids haven't been so lucky yet...still no snow days this year.

    As I checked the radar on the Weather Channel, I noticed you guys were getting hammered with snow. Srrms like you had snow for a solid week or so. Keep it all up there please. Just because I have the snowblower on the tractor dosn't mean I want to have to use it! I would be happy just to have it installed and never have to start it up all winter.

    I sure am glad I live in Texas.If we ever got that much snow Texas would come to a dead stand still for sure.
    Heather got 22 inches in 3 days in Montana the first snowfall this year.You have got way to much on top of your 14 inches..

    I'm like Droopy and haven't had much snow for years. We've got hard frosts and black ice but the snowfall has been sparse so far except in the highlands. Fourteen inches is a heck of a lot of snow in just a few days. :eek: I'm looking forward to seeing you piccies.

    Geez, that's a lot of snow. Last winter we set records down here with a winter total of 120+". I never wanted to see snow again. I can't even imagine 40" already.
    We've only (ha! Only?!) had about 15" or so this year and I'm not dealing well with that. Time to get out the snowshoes!
