Topic: Oh My it's Snowing again Posted: 16 Apr 2018 at 8:24pm |
Just so that you feel better. Yesterday (after Saturdays 12-13" dusting of snow) we woke up to another 6" of that fine powdery stuff. But hold on to your hat, yes it was windy, all afternoon we got this freezing drizzle/sleet that felt like little bee,bees. Problem was after we got 4" of that yesterday afternoon, the snowblower wouldn't touch it, all cemented together so had to get a scraper bar out and bust it all loose before moving it with a snowblower. Today, piece of cake only another 5" and what do my eyes see coming out of the sky, yep, more snow, but supposed to be only 3 - 4", holding my breath, will see in the morning. About ready to borrow the big Kubota snowblower from the golf course I work at, now we are talking 65 HP diesel with a front mount blower and HEATED cab, sweet. Mighty tempting, may have to ask the owners about borrowing that for my drive instead of my puny 10 HP walk behind.

LOL from that last post!!! Best of travels K-n-D!
I went from a snow storm before I picked-up Lily, to now a Sleet storm... We're running 20F below normal right now, but changing today (hopefully) back to normal.
Been enjoying all the posts since my 'little' rant and seeing others are in the same (if not worse) conditions.
Absolutely loving having Lily here finally and getting some stuff done.

Friday just as I finished the last thing I needed to do to prep the Pod for today's departure for the first trip of the year a hailstorm hit covering the ground with half inch hail. Friday afternoon it started to rain, changing to sleet Saturday and yesterday it snowed all night. This morning I blew snow away from the Pod and scraped ice and snow from the slide so I could put it in. Roads are not in great shape, so we put off leaving until tomorrow. The Pod and truck are all packed and we hope to leave early tomorrow before more snow can fall. Last year we left at the same time and it was 72 that day. I liked that better.

Went out Thursday morning, temps in the 70's. Friday temps reached high 70's. Cut short our outing and came home Saturday in blizzard conditions, first rain, then a little hail and sleet and then blowing snow! It's wonderful living on the Great Plains of Nebraska! (It explains why the pioneers kept moving west.)

Leo, hope you are surviving today, from the map looks as though you may be getting some of the residual we got yesterday. Our pod has been outside for the past couple weeks and one can hardly even tell it is there, totally covered in thick heavy snow with about 4 foot drifts around it. Now we are getting more snow and sleet. 24 degrees and heavy duty sleet, everything is covered in ice that is nearly 3/4" thick. Will probably lose power so we have stored up a bunch of water just in case, heat no problem . . . lots of firewood to keep the stove going. Many trees and branches breaking from the sheer weight of yesterdays snow 14" + and with now the weight of the sleet on top. Fun, fun in northern Michigan.
