I haven't needed anything since 11/15. I'm sorry I plunked down money on a new snowblower. I knew we were due for a stinker and I new having snow in Nov was a bad sign, but I remembered 2013 and thought we might pull together a half-assed storm in Feb like we did that year ( most of the storm was east of us ). But I'm having doubts now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s extrenly high ratio stuff and it doesn’t take much to make it go away It's melting. Patches of snow and ice on the sunlit south-facing stretch of the driveway are becoming liquid water. Thanks for telling me I can't tell when ice is melting, though. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yesh, didn’t mean to go there at all. And I didn’t mean to say it isn’t melting at all. Snow can melt in the sun even if it’s -50, happens everyday in places like the Himalayas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry it won't and that's not a bad thing. Personally I'm done with snow after the 1st week of March as it just becomes annoying by then, it melts instantly, and all it does is hamper early Spring. The only exception would be a KU (12"+) type storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravitylover Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I think we went 5 weeks without a drop of precip. It was right as the forests were sucking the ground dry as they leafed out and things were dusty before Memorial Day. There was some awesome early season mt bike conditions from early Feb right into summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJO812 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The streets over here are a mess with salt everywhere. There are cars stuck on the next block from me because a watermain broke 2 days ago and now they cant take their car out of the parking spot because it's full of ice..
