Post by: half eye on March 20, 2013, 03:37:05 pm
For you guys lookin to open your pools, thought I would show why my stuff is still in the shed The last picture shows my trash barrell (55 gal drum on a hand truck) got to take my word it's under there. We are now past 210 inches for the year.

I say this because I don't have to put up with it - even when it does snow in Ireland, it's not half that bad...

But that is beautiful!!!

Where 'bouts you live Rich?

I live in the Northern Lower Penninsula of Michigan. Get both system and lake effect snow. I re-checked the newspaper and lied about how much thought it said 199 up till this storm but is was only 179 so ya got to add the final storm total to that.....that last 20" makes all the difference,eh?  :o

I thought you were just jacking up a southern boy.

Sir, I stand corrected.

half eye - Down here near Flint, We only got 3"-4" of snow, but the winds were 20-30 mph with gusts to 40 mph. Gotta love Springtime in Michigan  ;D ! Only good thing, is the Tigers start pretty soon - that REALLY means Spring to Me - Bob.

bub I live in the Pacific North West, Van Isle,  and we have been really, really really, really, really, really  Lucky our winter was about 2 inches of snow before Xmas,............that was it.....but it has been kind of chilly at nite.

They speak of Global Warming.!  Why when I was a kid did we always had lots of snow at Xmas and our Summers started in May not July.  Now we rarely have snow in the winter and our summers do not start till July and sometimes run into October. You could see the change in the late 70's...... ???

Well hell Rich, maybe it is you that is gettin' kinda old >:D. Myself, I need to cut the grass and weed eat. My wife says to put up the jackets that I wear to
walk almost 200yds. inside my work place but I need 'em cause it sometimes gets down to 35 and even rains a lot. Brutal.

But, like you, I endeavor to persevere.

It's spring I'm told.  Woke up this morning to 7 below and three new inches of snow.  They say we need the moisture and I'm sure its true, but when a fellow wants to be in the hills it makes me blue.  I just know all those elk sheds are just waiting for me.  Just hope it clears up so the horns I can see.  So all "you alls' basking in 60 degrees just be thankful the snow is not up to your knees! by jez by jez!   Joe

Rich, I feel your pain, I live just outside of Erie and we get the same type of lake effect snows and anything else that seems to come across the lakes, we got about a foot of fresh snow on thurs. I saw a dead robin today,kinda hard to catch worms under a 12" snow cover, Redwing blackbirds are here so I'm hoping springs not far behind but I'm not holding my breath." Springs along time coming this high up ."Later Bob
