We are catching up on or missing snow

Post by reible »

It looks like we are catching up on our snow this last while. By the time it finishes we will tie a record of 9 consecutive days with snow.

Last night and today netted us 9", here is what that looks like as I was finding our van again:

Of course next Thursday we will be in the forties and melting this down. Yes spring is almost here, perhaps not soon enough for this little guy:

I normally don't see them until April so what is with this early arrival? BTW there were 4 of them, how could they have gotten this so wrong?

At least all that snow is dry snow. we usually get the wet kind.

We get both. A few days ago it was 30:1 rather then the 12:1 we happen to get most of the time. That you can sweep off with a broom if it not too deep. I didn't hear a ratio this time but was lighter then normal but not as light as the 30:1.

We have been very lucky (knock on plastic) so far. Very little snow. We were supposed to get 3 inches a few days ago but we only got about a half inch. We are south of Indy and most of the snows have stayed just north of Indy. I'm not disappointed... :p :D

It has been fairly cold lately but today it hit 52 degrees. It seems funny to see guys out on motorcycles in mid February.

The current weather pattern seems to be giving you guys in the mideast part of the US all of snow right now. Over here in the central part we are still too cold for the air to hold any moisture so we aren't getting any snow. So far this month, every day has been below zero for us so the air is too dry for it to snow.
Maybe in a month or so, it will warm up here and the snow can drop here instead of dumping on you guys in the east.
