Just got done shovelling out the drive again. We got 14.5" of snow in Omaha Ne. Anybody that wants this stuff can have it.

Oh yea just as I got done along comes the city's snowplow and fills in drive again. [Linked Image]

10" here in central Nebraska.
The wind blew all nite so we have some real nice drifts out in the country.
I have images of the Platte River frozen over etched into my mind, along with plenty of icy pictures of Kearney and Minden to remind me of the Nebraska winter!

The forecasters here in England predicted cold arctic winds and heavy snowfall moving in by today. It was dull, windy, and a light sleety snow yesterday for a while, but here on the east coast it's actually blue skies and sunshine at the moment (midday), temperature only about the mid-30s though.

Looks like the Met. Office got it wrong again, at least for this area. [Linked Image]

We got about 10 inches last nite.

Luckily it was cold out so this snow isn't too heavy, but it is getting heavier as the day warms up (27F right now)

The predicted 16 inches turned out to be only 10 at my house. We were allowed to start at 10 AM today, got to work (58 miles) and there was only 3 inches. I got rooked! Oh, well back to the daily grind. (regular or de-cafe?)

PS Ryan, One of the reasons I left Utah was the god-awful winters. I would have to hang out at the ski resorts for a little sunshine (not to mention the snow bunnies).

I take back my previous comment! The snow started about 2 p.m. yesterday and has continued overnight.

Compared to the typical U.S. snow it's nothing, but as usual a couple of inches here and the country has ground to a halt.

The city in which I reside (Passaic) has snow-removal and salting pretty much down to a science.

I saw something yesterday when I was in CLifton that caught my eye. There were 5 trucks in a "plow train" clearing snow. A few of them looked like cement trucks with plows mounted on them. Were they really salt trucks? The company name was "Simone" and there was nothing on them about cement. Some of these rigs looked like they could clear cars out of the way, let alone snow.

You should try breaking down on the Tappan-Zee in NYC. They will push you and your car (not tow) off the bridge into a break down area. Where your totally wrecked car can be hauled away in pieces.

They play rough in NYC

Well guys there are some great stories of snow and cold here but...... I was loading up my manlift onto my trailer. My hold down pins snapped off. Luckily I was doing a service call at a welding shop. They have a weather station on site.
-35c. Windchill of -47c. Then there was the gusts of wind to deal with. I love the outdoors!!! Sorry I don't know the farenheit numbers. Pretty cold boys, pretty cold. Going home for a hot chocolate.
