Winter Returned

[diyer2]

Since Feb. 3rd. by my records we have had 78 inches. The county hasn't plowed our road yet, I'm still working on our driveway. 

Edit-driveway.

It got to 43 yesterday so I was able to move /clear snow from some more of the driveway with the ATV/plow setup.

We got 25-33% of that but our electric COOP never dropped power. My Honda 7000 Generator hasn't been used for real this season so far.

Our land owners association kept roads clear at least 1 lane and we are high. 9000-11,000.  Our boys do a better job than the county does.

More snow coming this weekend.

Well minor accumulation but chilly, teens to low 20's in the morning. Warmer days though.

Big low sitting in the middle of Lake Michigan and dumping lake effect snow on us. Right at freezing but the pavement is to warm to stick. Good! Pretty on the grass I've mowed. What a weird spring.

38 degrees this morning, first morning above freezing. Snow is melting but lots left in the shaded areas.

71 to 78 F here for the next four days  Break the Buick out.

We are getting precip here like it was 40 years ago. That's a good thing if it holds....redoing all 120 miles of roads here and that soaking rain sure helps lay it down up here.

Everything with weather goes in cycles. In my business it can make or break you if you don’t plan well. When I move to Texas I thought it was the wettest place on Earth. Especially in the winter. We work in Oklahoma in the winter mostly during the winter. That year when we left New Jersey we had 4 20 inch snow storms one week apart. My first two winters in Texas we had freezes where pipes broke everywhere. We even had ice storms. We didn’t lose electricity though like we did a couple of years ago. Wind mills and solar panels didn’t exist then. Last week a hail storm hit a solar farm in Texas, making them useless. Toxins leaking from them. We are inline for another drenching today. We’re way ahead with rainfall this year. After a drought last year. Once again they’re saying we’re in for it with hurricanes this year. They’ll probably be wrong again.
