We don't get much snow around here. Maybe once in 5 years.
Here's a few pics of this years snow.
The first 2 are of our new dog, Rusty. He was a stray we found near his dead mother, on the side of the road. The vet says he is about 10 months old. Had him about 4 months.
Next one is of my lovely wife, Shirley.
Next are views of front of the house and the shop.
 
We got snow and ice here. Wind blew hard durring the storm. Half of a tree blew down about 11PM last night. It missed the smithy by less than three feet. Only broke some fencing. If it hit the house or smithy, it would have been a mess. Scared the crap out of my shop cat, who was taking shelter in the smithy.

This mornings commute ( normally 25 minutes) took an hour and a half. Cars upside down and spun into the Jersy wall all the way down the interstate. I saw maybe 50 cars in accidents. The overpasses froze as the temperasture dropped. Everey overpass had two or three cars on the down side piled up. They finally closed several bridges and tunnels here, as well as colsed off parts of the Interstate.

Last time it threatened to snow ,they closed the schools ands govt. offices....and it didn't snow at all. This time they decided to open two hours late.....and it was terrible. Go figure.
Stay safe, folks.

Yo Cooter

we got a pretty good amount here as well

We have 3.5" or so

Dogs and kids love it!!!
 
Yeah, y'all saw my snow pictures... nothing that throwing another blanket on the bed and snuggling up next to my wife didn't handle :p

Mike, that pup looks like a handful.
 
It missed us here and I am happy it did. I am looking for the good old sunny days. Its going up into the 60's in two days. The good weather is on its way. :D

We had a little over 7" of snow. The power was off a number of times on Sunday. It's 16F this morning, so all ice. Heated up the shop to get a little work done yesterday, but the power problems stopped that. I did find a small roof leak that hadn't happened before, right over my little mill/drill. Guess the weight of the snow had something to do with that. Oh well, one more thing to fix.
The puppy can be a handful at times, but he is coming along well. He likes to hang around in the shop with me. The only problem is that anything that hits the floor is a "Toy" and automatically his.
 
Wind chill around -10F here this morning. No biggie.

Close the schools? Shucks, we still make the kids go outside for recess until it gets down to zero. Y'all are wimps :D

Yeah, it's fun to tease them in the winter time with us northerners being used to it all our lives, but the tables are turned when we say "damn it's hot" when it hits 75F! 60F is shorts weather! :p -Matt-
 
60F does sound mighty nice about now.

I wear shorts roughly from May to November... I still never get a tan though!

James, what's up with the legs not tanning? Mine never do either. I'm in shorts mostly in the same time frame. Everything else seems to burn to a crisp (fair complexion), but not the legs. :confused: -Matt-
 
So much for Tidewater Virginia weather. It was in the 70's last week. By the weekend it had dropped to 16 and snowed on Sunday. 20's on Monday. 30's Tuesday, 40's yesterday. 50's tomorrow. 60's Friday. 70's Saturday. And near 80 this coming Sunday.
