Well, it's snowing again. This is round 3 for us, quite uncommon for the Southern Appalachian Mountains. It started about 3:30 and is expected to continue until 6am on Saturday. They aren't sure if it will be just snow, snow and sleet or snow, sleet and ice. At first they were saying a major ice storm but I believe we dodged that bullet. ???
All in all, I still love the snow. That is one reason we moved here from Coastal SC. ;D
-
There you go, Home Sweet Home. ;)
-
I used to like the snow before I had a job that involved driving my personal vehicle 45 miles through the stuff dodging people who shouldn't be out there so I can get to work and plow snow. :)
-
Pat, I am on the road in SC currently, and it has been cold and wet this afternoon. We lived in NC for years, (Raleigh) and Ice turns that place into a nightmare.
-
Used to snow like this in the 1990's. I hate to say it but we got our biggest snows in March. Had one that was 34". The sap is already running in our trees and I'm ready to see some crocuses bloom.
-
Pat...we got almost another Foot last night too...It was so wet that it was breaking Tree Branches in the Neighborhood...and also took down my Netted Pond Cover it got so Heavy...Can't whine though...this is the first Moisture that We had to speak of in a Year!!

The snow just started up here Pat. Supposed to turn to ice sometime >:( oh well, I have 6 chapters of pharmacology to learn this weekend anyway.
-
We've had about 2" of snow and sleet but they are calling for a major ICE storm later tonight, tomorrow and into Saturday. Up to 3" of precipitation(ice and rain). Could be the big one! :o Charlie(stringstretcher) over in VA may have a record breaker snow storm tomorrow with 18" to 24"+ of the white stuff.
Might be more coming next Tuesday also. ::) Can't do much about it so everyone hang on tight!
-
No snow up here in da UP ??? Haven't had any appreciable accumulation in a month ???
My snowblower is starting to miss me :D Hope ya don't get ice as that sounds bad
-
We missed it,just rain here.A little chance tonight but I think it is to warm. :)

I keep shooting holes in the snow but I can't seem to slow it down much less kill it!!!
-
We are covered in snow! It has been putting it down all night. We have at least 4" and its still snowing big wet flakes.
-
Ours is rain now with temps between 32 and 33. About 1" of rain since midnight. A little accumulation in trees, lights have flickered a few times but I don't think the worst is over yet. Should rain until tomorrow. I guess we'll see.
-
Ours is rain now also. Just took a little drive and roads suck. Looks like alot of trees are sagging, some are already on the powerlines. Looks like we will probably loose power before it is all over.
-
We got 8" of wet stuff and now it's freezing rain. Supposed to get another 4" tonight when it changes to snow again. DOT hasn't plowed our road yet. I've spent a good hour shoveling paths to the wood pile, bird feeders, Lucy's studio, my studio and my target. The ridge behind my studio is 3600 ft and that's got a whole lot to do with what we get.
-
All you southeners need to move up here to da UP, 32 degrees, calm wind and blue skies ;D
-
I love the snow, but this is CRAZY - just plowed 10 inches or so out of the driveway with the 4-wheeler, but more's a-comin' - I'm in that 24+ band of western VA.. Gonna eat, warm up and hit it again ;D
-
The main storm has passed us with the chance of a few showers...but more to come later this week.
We dodged the bullet here.
-
Supposed to be 1-3 more inches today and tonight on my side of the mountain. Whoohoo. :) Seems like these storms move away, except one chunk of the storm always gets broken off and trapped in the mountains and sits right over my house for about three days after everbody els has had sunshine and nice weather.
-
Steve, I heard on the news this morning of a land slide off of 19 in Maggie Valley, something Cove Rd. Anywhere near you?
-
Started yesterday afternoon here just north of Baltimore, looks like we've got about 20" so far and still going strong. Shoveling out is not going to be fun tomorrow.
-
It's 42 here now and dripping. Cloudy with blue showing through. Hang in there guys. Better things coming your way! ;)
-
Just a bunch of rain down here in Ga. I think I'll break out my mud truck when I get home.
-
Everything has a very light coat of ice up here. About 10" of wet stuff on the ground. It's nice to look at but I'm getting a jones for spring. Got to go and shovel what the snowplow put across our drive ways. Birds are nailing our feeders. More on the way Tuesday.
-
Finally stopped after 23" worth.
A little bit south of here at BWI airport they had 26.5" at 12:30, probably ended closer to 30".
I haven't heard an official measurement yet but if this wasn't the biggest snowfall in MD history, it was the second biggest.
-
We are fixing to get Hit again here tomorrow...starting with Rain...turning to Ice then Snow...with 40mph winds...and an expected accumulations of up to a foot ....again..... ;D
-
My target.

Drizzling now...and 30 degrees....going to get messy ....if tit don't turn to Snow here fast!!
-
Another beautiful day here in da UP cold nights and warm days I'm willing to bet the sap is running ;D
-
Ya better hope that it isn't...because if it is...you may end up like We did three Years ago...Sap started running...got a Late Hard Freeze....lost hundreds of Trees...including Maples....due to Sap Freeze...the Branches literally split in two on the Trees....
-

-

-
We have 8 more inches on the ground and it's coming down thick at 18 degrees. Wind is 40-50 mph. Lucy saw a flock of Robins yesterday, hope they make it.
-
I'm about ready for spring. Tired of this snow and cold.
-
It's late summer, early Fall, here. ;D Cold front came through this morning, 72dgs.
-
Rub it in, Eddie. High today here is supposed to be in the mid-twenties with sub-zero windchill.
-
We had a little sleet yesterday but nothing much. Cold and blustery today but with bright sunshine.
-
Man, you guy's are getting pounded, this year. I see it's going to be in the 40's at home. I'll stay here till it warms up.
-
This is probably more cold weather than weve had in the last 6 or 7 years combined.Ron
-
It's the worst in Florida since 1977.
-
Easiest winter I can remember here in da UP ;D
-
I saw Al Gore on the side of the road burning a stack of old tires to keep warm this morning. ;D
-

Was in Asheville yesterday at 10:00 when it started coming down. I lit out for Avery County and when I hit the climb into the mountains on a two lane it was 4 wheel drive and 20 mph for the last thirty miles to home. I'm ready for spring.
-
We had a solid 6" here. Another beautiful snow. Since we were both at home and didn't have to go anywhere we enjoyed it like we usually do. It sure is beautiful out here in the woods with a snow like this.
-
Well brace yourself Pat, there is another one comming.
-
We got a good 3 inches here yesterday. This is about enough snow for me. I am ready for it to get Springtime.
-
Wife and I just got back from a walk. We both love the snow and walk at least 2st a day. This snow is so fluffy it makes for strenuous walking but just the exercise I've been needing.
It has made for a wonderful 32nd anniversary for Marcia and I. 8) We moved to the mountains 20 years ago so we could enjoy the wintertime we both missed growing up in Savannah.
-
The plus side of all that snow you guy's have been getting Pat, is it will probally run all those Floridians back home. ;D
-

-

Looks like God is tossing soft baseballs from the sky here in Mo this morn. I left Stillwater Ok last night to beat this crap home and I did,thankfully.. Got 2" right now and they are calling for 7"........Back to the shop. ;D
-
Hmmm... curse this "global warming" thing... all this cold and precipitation and stuff... clearly we've made the planet too hot :(
(isn't sarcasm a wonderful thing? ;))
-
Hatch.....Now You did It...now They will be Chiming in to Tell You...that You are confusing Weather....with Climatic Change....... :P
-
Isn't one a result of the other...? ;)
We've no snow here in Ireland. Apparently we've had the coldest winter here since '63 or '64... Panic ensues when a few flakes fall or rain pools as we're not used to extremes of one or the other. I remember more snow back in '82 but it wasn't as cold then.
looks like a nice sunny day when you took the pic? Does it help in defrosting any of the snow?
-
Got up to the mid 30's today with clear blue skies and a light wind absolutely beautiful weather ;D

Where in Ireland are you located? I visited there in 2002. I had a great time, We went to Dingle, Kinsale, Kilkenny, Slade an some other places. It was such a beautiful place. I'm hoping to make another trip someday.
-
We had flurries all day today. Nothing stuck because the last two weeks have been in the 50s and 60s and hardly freezing at night.
-
76 today...but expecting another go from the Canadian Snow Machine on Wednesday....and possibly again on Saturday
