Where Am I?

I know it isn't Switzerland, but this is where we woke up this morning. And there's more coming tonight, the sun peeked out a for a few minutes today but has gone back behind the clouds for another expected 4-8 inches by tomorrow afternoon!

Nixie, I think you are beyond help. :shock: Take your meds sleep for a couple of days, maybe when you wake up all will be as before? :mrgreen: It is a pretty Winter Wonderland!

Now I'm going to have to draw one of those figurative maps of the United States that cordon off various regions and assign things to them: "Beyond Help" is a particularly large region in the Northeast, unfortunately I can't disagree with you. :mrgreen:

Nice setting but I'm glad I'm not there...

 

[john guedry]

I'll stay where I'm at.

 

[Daveboone]

HAH!
Looks like you are in my backyard, just north of Oneida Lake, NY. WTH?

 

[CGDustDevil]

Spring snows don't last, and actually will help take away the existing snow (if any). Warm days are ahead!!

Spent five years in that stuff in CT. Looks real good setting here in 70 degree sunny Florida.

Al Gore says it's warm! You are all just a bunch of deniers!

 

[graygun]

Don't you know?

We get that stuff here in CA too - but we keep it in the resort areas.

8 measured inches here, and more expected later this week...and I was going to pull the HD out and fire her up....

Go ahead...that strat-o-freeze air conditioner will most assuredly work.

You talking about snow? I know you Harley drivers are always bragging.

Take heart NixieTube, this too will pass.

I am reminds of a little ditty that my grade school teacher often recited years ago:
"Spring has sprung
The grass is ris
I wonder where
the snowflakes is"

About half of our cows have calved and we are seeing about half of our meadows showing grass with about half showing snow yet to melt. This past winter on our two ranches have had about normal weather with just a little over 11 feet of snowfall. Not all at once of course. The most that we had measured at one time was only about 3 to 4 feet deep.

We too expect to get a couple more snows before Springs finally gets control but the grass is already greening in the open spots.

 

[NixieTube]

Yup, it's Massachusetts. And another 4 inches or so fell last night. Later this week it's supposed to be 60.

Where I am, it's still snowing but people are moving around well; various municipalities are doing a good job of "dealing."

Yes for lawns and gardens and it's going to mean some good moisture once the temperature goes up a bit. I feel for the peepers, though. They were out in force a few days ago, along with the birds. All the bird calls have stopped, everything is kind of sheltering in place for a couple of days. I guess it will kick the spring tree bloom back a couple of weeks. It's not a catastrophe though.

It would have actually been much worse to have had the trees in partial or full bloom when the snow hit. They can't handle it really and it also tends to bring power lines down. A few years ago we had one like that in MA and our power was out for a full week, and in that time I re-learned a couple of things I had forgotten. I'm not a big huge "prepper" kind of person but after having been through that I took a few sensible precautions. Having running water is really important to one's wellbeing over a period of time longer than a couple of days. Where I live we rely on well water supplies with pumps so you have to get them running at least a part of the time when the grid juice stops. Even if it's cold at first, that's OK because you can heat it up if you're prepared. And everyone should have some basic tools and provisions.
