You woke up with 8 inches and I opened this thread with a severely deflated sense of self-girth...I mean worth.

Well, got home and it's so "wet" (LOL sorry) that I don't need to worry about it cause it will melt in couple of days. Did my sidewalk and entrance way... my SUV can handle alot more so I'll look like one of those Hill billies doing half of the work. LOL

Well it's snowing again so there's still plenty of opportunities for getting wet. If you leave now you should be able to make it just in time to shovel when most of it is already on the ground.

It snowed here last night and dribbled a snow flake here and there most of the day today.

This weekend however, it's all warm and toasty in the 60s.

driving in the little dusting we got last night was actually some of the worst driving I've seen in awhile. couldn't see much most of the time because it was so light it just got blown around by every car and truck on the road. and it was also fairly slippery in some areas, I think I scared my helper a couple times spinning the tires and kicking the back end of the tractor out.

Damn, we woke up with another 3 inches of snow this morning. I am not sure about Milwaukee, but Madison, WI has had over 90 inches this winter. I think that's close to double the average. I know we are way over our average too...it's gotten to the point where there isn't really anyplace to put it all.

Concord, NH is at 90" for the season. We're looking at another 10" tonight and forecasts show another big storm on Weds.
Global warming, my ass! We passed the most snowfall record for Concord a long time ago and that one was set back in like 1817, I think.
