Getting our first snow

[Leon]

Morning guys! Started snowing about an hour ago.Not sure how much we'll get but it sure looks nice.

Had our already last week...
Snow is like sex: you never know how long it'll last, or how many inches

LOL..started here about 2 hours for the first time this year too. Not sticking to the roads yet. Great seeing the first few flakes, but not long before the sad reality sinks in that people forget how to drive in this stuff each year! LOL

With all respect Leon, you may keep your snow! Out here in North-Eastern Kansas we get our fair share of snow, yet the dipshit officers attending CGSC at Ft Leavenworth act like they have never seen snow! We say that when a Major or Lt Colonel gets their orders to CGSC, they are issued a blond haired spouse, 2.6 kids and a SUV. The only problem with the SUV, is the officers believe that 4 wheel drive makes them immune to ice. Maybe with a Humvee, Bradley. or Abrams ok, but not a SUV. Rant over, talk more soon, Joel.

I'm not so sure about the Abrams...

Yeah, you might be right about that. Did any one notice the reversed track pads for traction?

Your tax dollars hard at work - they probably hated every minute of it

Our, notoriously unreliable, weather forecast issued a dire warning yesterday evening: expect lots of snow from about lunch time. So we've been sitting here with PST (pre snow tension) Lunch time comes and goes, so do the next few hours. Just after 3pm the first flakes, pic taken at 3.30pm

We got about 3/4" of a dusting, but on the otherhand it was pretty cold. When it gets down below eighteen degrees around here, it almost never snows. The real issue is the wind, and the chill factors. Yet for the most part everything is dry as a bone. If the sun's out I can live with it.

I live about ten minutes south of Indianapolis, and if you can't drive in snow and ice; your screwed! Today's cars for the most part do well in the snow (forget the German hot rods). An all wheel drive military truck would be a breeze to drive. Probably better than many of the tracked things due to ground pressure alone. Last year we saw very little snow around here for some odd reason, but there was lots of ice and rain. I hate ice, but not for me as the guy behind me.

In North Jersey,got maybe 4-5 inches on the grass,maybe 1 inch on sidewalks,but all gone off the cement by afternoon today.
Went to Peddlers Village in Lahaska Pa,it was a great night,just enough snow flying to make it real pretty with all of the decorations and lights.

Picked up around 6/7 inches last night. First snow, as bad as it sounds, is pretty cool...but that is about as far as I will go with that! LOL Already loathing the fact there will be more!   Tuesday if my ears don't deceive me!
