Anyone else with snow over New Years? (56K warn)

[RyderOCZ]

Well, in addition to the usual New Years festivities, Southwestern Lower Michigan, received a pretty healthy dose of the white stuff. It started snowing about 8pm New Years eve and didn't really stop snowing (occasional relief of an hour or so with no snow) until this morning about 9am.
As the system continued to dump on us..the wind speeds increased and at times yesterday (Jan 1) visibility was down to a couple hundred feet.

These shots are after I was done cleaning up on New Years morning:

I like it when the snow sticks to the trees:

The drift on this roof is over 18" high and the one on the ground is almost 30":

After battling for about an hour (also helped out the Neighbors) everything is clean, except the machine :D :

cool, id wish it would snow like that overhere.

The last time it snowed and i mean really snowed overhere is more then 10 years ago.

When i was a kid we had snow like that every damn year but last 10 years or so we havent had any real snow :(

[NickS]

We got a good 4" and we're expecting 2-4 more tonight. I love snow :D

Very nice Impala SS there too, those things are awesome. 5.3L V8 FTW!

[Solarfall]

thats totally normal at this side of the globe :D

[Movieman]

20+ inches in the last 72 hours..:(

[[XC] junglemaster]

Damn, that is some snow. I dont even see that on the snow fields...LOL

I loved the pic with some 18" on the roof...dangerous I guess, but looks good :D

[Ugly n Grey]

Yeah we got slaughtered too, I put a new plow motor on my old mans super duty truck and boy are we happy we did. I shoveled the roof on my rentals and I still have to do the one I'm living in.

Misery loves company so I'm good company for you there Ryder. On a positive note, I hope some of that snow stays in MI till spring break. I was planning on taking my son to northern MI (Boyne) for the week and teach him to snowboard.

[Movieman]

My wellhead stands 30" off the ground..I can see the cap on the top, thats it..:rofl:

[Hardass]

Nope no snow here yet.:rofl: :rofl:

[makatee]

[WesM63]

Yep. Very cold and windy. Although I think we only got 6" or so here in NW Ohio, maybe less.

[makatee]

We probably have around 10 inches here where I am.

[One_Hertz]

we got about 30-40 inches sitting in the park.

[Zytek_Fan]

Never snows much here, but in North Idaho where my uncle lives there's about 2 feet all over :D

[Polizei]

Got about 10" here in the Cleveland, Ohio area.

Shoveled 6" last night off my driveway so I could get to my car in the morning for work, and was greeted by another 4" when I woke up.

[NickS]

WOW it is COLD. Here it's 11ºF with a wind chill of -2ºF.. and dropping.

For you foreigners, -12ºC with a wind chill of -19ºC :eek: Very windy.

Arghhh....Team America gets more snow! Georgie Bush says so N00b!..... ;)
In all seriousness, there are many places in Canada that get tons of snow....sure, but I'm know we've got those places here too. This is not a contest. However, if you want to make it one, I bet you guys get more snow there than where I live. Congrats. You are teh Winner! :clap:

Hehe. Just kidding

[knightwolf654]

blah only 2-3 inches here.
48 inch of snow would be fun as long as your not driving anywere, tunneling muhahaha :)

[noroger]

Great pics, I love snow

Toronto got 28 centimetres of snow few weeks ago. It was amazing.

[RyderOCZ]

or do you want to benchmark the bandwidth your site can provide? :lol:That is all I use it for... webspace for the job...don't care how much bandwidth it takes...that is why I pay for it :D

[GuitarFreak]

We got 6 inches here the other day, but it's raining now and it's supposed to hit 58 degrees on tuesday. Kinda sucks...I wish it would snow more.

[Nanometer]

Cool pictures. I don't get snow hear sadly. I remember a few years back at big bear california we had a good blizzard. Couldn't get to our cabin with the cars so we had to walk about a couple hundred feet from the main road.

[yankee]

When i was a kid we had snow like that every damn year but last 10 years or so we havent had any real snow :(

Same thing here, when i was younger, in the late 80's/ early 90's we'd get at least 30-40 in of snow in the winter, and it would STAY. These days we get at most 6 in at a time followed by rain(which either melts it or just makes it a mess).

Global warming at work. :shakes:
