Well we just got about an inch of snow in about an hour and we're also under the warning for 8 - 12 inches. Looks sorta like Mother Nature is going to give us our wish. But it shouldn't be around too long they are predicting temps in the high 30's and 40's by the weekend!
Well, I know you have been hoping to get your green machine into some snow, so here you go!!!
Don't forget to get the camera tuned up, also! You know the story: :wwp:

All we got over here so far was a lot of wind and a minimal dusting on the ground. I clocked one gust to 41 mph when the front rolled in here shortly after noon today.

Monday 5 am temp in the 20s very windy and only a lite dusting of snow so far. With all this wind. When the snow does come there will be white outs every were. Hoping most folks are still off from work so they can stay home and be safe.

Well we're up to 2 inches now.....what a blizzard.....oh my if this keeps up I'll have to get the blade out and push a row up to use the snowblower! I did hear from my wife that folks closer to Erie were nearly up to a foot by about 10 AM this morning.

We're somewhere between 1-2" I'd guess on the ground from the lake effect moisture today. Finally looks like winter here. :snowing:
Bad part was that it has been so warm that the ground was not frozen. So on the roads it pretty much went into ice. Once the side roads get froze and layer of salt is built up on the main roads the travel issues get a little better. Only saw one 4x4 in the ditch though. Probably a newbie 4x4 owner.
So not too bad for a first of the season snowfall.
Couple quick fuzzy pictures from my iPod:

We got an inch through the day until it got dark. As soon as the sun went down, the snow started up in earnest and we now have three inches with the winds picking back up.
Sure is going to be an interesting drive into work in the morning.

We were supposed to get 3-6" of snow last night so I went out and instaled the plow on my truck.. Just as I suspected, we only got 1"! isgus: Oh well.. The plow's on & it was fun playing with that!:dunno:

We got an inch or two here. Not enough to even put the blade on my Sunstar. Looks like another session with the broom!!

Looking good there redmule!
I used the broom here last night and this morning. Little colder and dryer it would have been good leaf blower snow. :fing32:
Blue skies today mixed with intermittent fast moving snow squalls with little to no accumulation. This is my favorite type of winter weather watching the snow roll in from a distance, pass over and then the sun comes out and melts it back off the pavement with only the grass staying pretty and white. All I have is an old blower I have to push and the drive is on a grade. Now if I had a plow or blower on the Deere I would not mind some accumulation either.

We have maybe gotten 2 inches total so far this year. Nothing in the forcast calls for anything.
