I finally got my first snow here in Idaho... Its been dry all this time. Even the ski resorts are hurting with only 25" at the summit 7K feet...

It is the same out east. The Ski resorts are just now getting some decent snow. I have not seen enough out here i tenn to even stay around more than a day.

I like snow but dont expect to see one flake here.

Its strange. Last year we had it snow 3 times in a row. Each time just about shutting the whole town down. People here dont know how to drive in the snow.

you suck, i want MOAR SNOW!!!!we have none here. it all melted

Good Morning all... I've got to do some digging... 8:10am 01/18/2012Front Porch...Front PorchLooking toward the RV..Toward the guest houseBack DeckBack Deck.Still coming down...

I would give anything to live somewhere that got snow like that!

Here is the plan for the morning... I got to dig my way down to the other house to get my ATV out to ride over next door to barrow the neighbors ATV and plow his yard then then mine... Daylight is here but the the visablity is moderate to low right now maybe 1 mile. Last night the power flickers and tripped all the yard floods on so I had to dig my way down to the guest house and shut off the breaker in the panel last night. That' sucks when you in flip flops and shorts at 10pm at night...:duh:Not to mention I got to careful push the snow off the RV too...I'll see about getting out the video camera later...

You know in NC when we do have to deal with snow like you have, we usually change out of our flip flops and shorts for tennis shoes, sweat pants and a fifth bourbon.

I'm still trying to talk my wife into us moving into your guest house.. :)she's a snow bunny.. sorta. She loves it, but doesn't get out in it.

Hope the four wheeler has a big bucket on it.

Actually its a 5 foot wide plow blade... Not bad...Control the up and down with a electric winch and the angle you need to hop off and unlock and swing the blade. Left to right 45*, 30*, 0, 30*, or 45*... Old vid but funny...

Yea, buddy. You're getting just as much as I'am up North from you. Getting a lot of tone outs in the county for people wrecking cause of the white stuff.

I should grab my scanner out of the other pickup and listen to the chaos here in the canyon... Actually people are good out here. While I was out plowing the yard I seen traffic driving slowly (25-35 MPH) roughly being cautious. But now see the logging truck they are just flat humping tail to get to the mill. They get paid by the load and the local cops know they speed to make the money. But other than then our weather now shifted to the rain now... It 37*F as of right now and raining...
