michsnowfreak Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Heavy rain ended up washing away most of the snowpack Friday/Saturday, leaving just patches and lots of snowbanks...then the rain turned to snow last night, and yet another surprise snowstorm hits! Its been an awesome winter. Expected 1", got 4.7". Thats 3 surprise snowstorms in the past month (Feb 5 got 4.1", expected 0...Feb 20/21 got 10.2" expected 1-2" + ice...Mar 5/6 got 4.7" expected 1"). Just like when youre in a stretch where nothing goes right, this is one of those winters where nothing goes wrong . We are now at 63.7" on the season. This snow, however, was about as picture-postcard as it gets. When I was in the park I honestly wanted a chair just to sit in the woods and relax it was so gorgeous. March sun is killing the snow in the sun, not budging in the shade. But its that season, weve had a great winter, and Im ok with it. cont......

michsnowfreak Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 Nice photos once again, but please.....keep that white stuff out there, I don't want any more this season. My dad (a winter hater) was out of town for our 2-day bare period Feb 18-19, so he has not seen his lawn all winter. Yesterday morning as grass invaded the whole center of the yard, he was all gloating about how nice it was to see grass, spring is here, blah blah..unaware it would be white 7 hours later. So I got the last laugh and when I returned the gloating, i got a few choice words . And my mom (a winter lover, but who loves all 4 seasons) is in that mode where on a sunny day shes all ready for spring telling me she has spring fever than last night she calls me to tell me how gorgeous the snow is. Im like here, but probably with a little more lean towards snow. Its one of those things where after a long fun winter, give me sunny spring weather and Ill be ready for it, out there enjoying it with everyone else, probably even get some spring fever. But turn around and give me the snow like we had this morning, and I want spring to stay far far away. I know Im in the minority (even among my snow-loving friends), but it is what it is!

Quakertown needs snow Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 Nice photos once again, but please.....keep that white stuff out there, I don't want any more this season. Keep 'em coming! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michsnowfreak Posted March 9, 2011 Author Share Posted March 9, 2011 Keep 'em coming! Pattern looks to stay active, dont really need any more moisture but I say bring it on. Might as well keep climbing higher in the top 10 snowiest winters list. Besides, spring snow doesnt last too long. Snow depth will be down to a T for tomorrow morning, so we will stop attm at 79 days of 1"+ snowcover on the season so far. Certainly hope to hit 80 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitemountainhiker Posted March 9, 2011 Share Posted March 9, 2011 Wet snow is the best snow, so photogenic! Faves of mine, in order... Pic 7, 10, 15, 16 17, 20, and 25...and 25 is the absolute favorite. I'm a sucker for animal tracks thru formerly unbroken snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjames1992 Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 It's really hard to beat the photogenic quality of a heavy, wet snow fall. Snowfall rates generally suck and it can have a hard time accumulating, but it certainly looks nice! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzucker Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 These are some of your most artistic photos to date, really beautiful. I love the shot of the pond and bridge, as well as the snow-spattered trees with a few red leaves remaining on the oaks. Very pretty. You've had a great second half of winter. At our cost How much snow have you seen, Josh, since Feb 1st? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
