You have many here that enjoy it falling and then want it gone the next day . That to me is mind boggling. You get it.. you should want to keep it all winter. Who cares if the snowbanks get grungy. It's snow for the love of all that's good Expand Because I'm realistic. It's gonna melt. Sucks, but life goes on. I take pleasure knowing it can snow nicely here as well. Yet again I pulled out another double digit storm, while parts of NNE have not done that in 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love snow and I wAnt to always look outside and see it Otg during winter. I'll be honest.. it ruins it for me when a 6-8" storm is coming and 2 days later I know a cutter or torch is coming. It takes away my enjoyment of the snow knowing it's gone. It's why I'm always asking and worrying about it melting. Just how I'm programmed.

weathafella Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 It bothers many of us to see it melt but as we get older allowing a torch and melt right after a big storm take away your enjoyment of the storm itself just doesn't seem healthy. One of our all timers was April Fools 1997. By definition that pack isn't hanging around. Yet that was among the best storms ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I pay others to let me turn up a dial. More expensive but less strain . Do miss the whole routine and workout of dropping trees, cutting, splitting and carrying in up to 10 chord a year.

USCAPEWEATHERAF Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 I need 14" of snow for my average. I honestly believe the models will show something appetizing by 12z Thursday for the weekend. Or even Monday/Tuesday system, EURO is very close to something large for the area. Stay patient folks, winter is coming back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expand 20 Years and has withstood the test of time.....still #1 in my book, and it isn't close.

ORH_wxman Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Powderfreak also spends all day at 3000 feet where fluff doesn't disintegrate as quickly. For residential areas at normal elevations it sucks a lot worse...obviously if I lived in an absolute sweet spot like jspin then you don't mind because the quantity is so much that even compaction won't ruin it.
