Pics or it didn't happen!

This was a pretty long drawn out snowfall so by now most of the streets have been trampled down.  Here is a picture of Pepe last night after sitting for about 3 hours.




And here is a picture out of my second story bathroom window.....oh yea, I guess the roof over the living room is about two feet below the window lol

You must have some unique weather patterns to get the AMC logo on your windshield!

beginning of Feb. here in NY , and nothing on the ground.We have got a couple of  little snowfalls , but my snowblower hasn't had to run all winter so far.Even the shovel sits dormant because it tends to warm up and melt the day after the snow.

I wish that was the case for me.  It sounds like Alaska got enough winter for everyone this year.  Record snow fall and record cold temperatures.  My snow blower took a dump on me and I have broken 2 snow shovels this year.  At least its almost over... kind of :)

I'm surprised we still havn't got a huge dumping yet.. I've been waiting, although I don't have any winter toy's anymore.. so I'm sad about no snow.

We have been light on snow this winter.  Recently, there has been two over nighters that brought 6-7" but it melts fast with many sunny days reaching 50.  We had lots of fog with some snow on Tuesday on my way to work.

I'm up in the northwest corner of Minnesota, and we haven't had nearly the usual amount of snowfall.  Heck, we even had a brown Christmas.  Unless we get dumped on in the next couple of months, it may be a record low for snowfall.  Definitely the least I've ever seen.   ???

We have some sleet right now, the expected temps are well above freezing point, so none of it will stay long.
