Been hearing lots of news of mud & flooding in much of SOCAL, into Arizona and Nevada, and hoping that members in those areas are making it OK and are able to enjoy Christmas in their homes.

Yeah, that picture is one reason I posted - the guy is standing on silt that is above the bottom of the windows on his house about doorknob level. Looks like the Mustang floated up before the silt set up.Quote:

We usually have a bunch of snow by now, but my front lawn - still green with only 2 -3 dustings so far!! Syracuse 140 miles West has about 7 FEET of snow on the ground.
My area - it WILL suffer before winter is done though:CRY:
The mountains got 17 feet of snow in two days. We got 7" of rain at my house. Merry Christmas. Poor Santa :LOL:

Its not been bad in Norcal yet, but if continues it will be, they have 18 ft in the mountains now, its still early in the year, they`ve already opened up a lot of the gates on the reservoirs in anticipation of the rain before it even started.
Well my area just had another ho-hum snow 'event'. The Weather Channel and the locals all predicted a huge dump here. Well we didn't get it. Maybe 6" which in past years would have been a snow squall. Some areas South of here did get a bunch, but the only bad part of ours is the wind. After I finally got the tractor going (summer blend diesel fuel:o) it took about 20 minutes to do the drive.
Oh well - off to 'fuss' with a couple of things on my car
Dave we understand today you are getting hammered by storms...?
Not sure how bad Dave caught it, but, over my way (So.eastern Mass) we caught it pretty good. It snowed, then rained, now frozen! 15 degrees right now.:CRY: If you didn't clear the mess yesterday, then it's just a block of ice now!:eek: We only had 6 or 8 inches but the town just north of us got 18 inches!Quote:

Everything that was really bad from this storm hit South and East of my part of Upstate NY. My daughter and her family are headed back to New Jersey where they have a couple of feet in their driveway - which is the same thing that happened to them last year. The local shopping centers do have some pretty big piles of snow, but nothing worse then normal for the end of Dec. Then there was that storm a couple years ago - we had over 3 feet, and that one actually slowed my tractor to a slow snails pace. The fun thing with lots of snow - it gives me a chance to play with my DD, an F350 4x4:LOL::LOL:
Hope everyones all ok
Hope all is well with everyone else, we haven`t heard from some of our friends here on site, we started getting hammered again, tonight and tomorrow, so in a couple of days the rest of you guys / gals will feel it.
You really make us here on the Right Coast feel good with that kinda news:CRY:. At least we'll have a few days of OK weather Of the 6" of snow we got, about 50% of it disappeared today with the temps in the mid thirties - which means that I can see my lawn in places again:DQuote:

These storms are definitely keeping us busy up in the mountains.So far at the house we have had a total of ten and a half feet since late October.My wife has great joy in keeping a running total on the calendar.:D
Nice one guys..We have been lazing around at my mothers place,in 30+deg C[90deg F] heat for the last four days..:D:D
Yeah,we have seen footage of the big freeeze up in the north east states on our news channels..and Virginia and North Carolina seems to have copped a load too..anyone heard from Barb,old coyote,and anyone else I have forgotten about??:eek:
Here in our part of the heartland the snows have mostly missed us so far, and this morning we awoke to 54F at 7am with a gusty south wind bringing the warmth up from the gulf. Not complaining about a day pushing 60F in late December!
This is fantastic weather for this time of year. I've been through the rains in So. California and the multiple feet of snow in Bridgeport and neither were very pleasant.Quote:

Don't know where either went. A couple chain saws and we could clean up! Where do you start with all that mud?:CRY::confused:
Here`s just a quick view.... depth of snow,
