powderfreak Posted April 1, 2019 Share Posted April 1, 2019 Nothing says April 1st like watching dry powder blow across the yard from last night's fake fluff. 26F with winds gusting 20-30mph and plumes of powder blowing off the rooftops.

First thing she asked this morning was "Why did it snow?" I tried to make the claim that a little 1-2" coating just covered the mud and dirty snow and she claimed she loves the mud.

Trivia note: researchers have found that such litterfall is up to 1/3 of what deer eat when yarded up in winter. Brief warmup early afternoon yesterday, high of 52 tops for March and tied Feb max - in both 17 and 18 March failed to reach the Feb high. 0.31" RA with a few flakes at the end. Only lost 1" of pack, now 26". Probably still close to 10" LE in that stuff; Saturday plans for a core lost out to cutting firewood. Expand The deer vacate my area when the snow begins at the end of the fall or soon thereafter and head for the valleys. They'll return when we leaf out and stay until the snow returns the following winter. My total for today's upslope ended up at 6.0", which was a nice surprise. I had to snow blow the driveway. By the time I was down in the valley by the MA line there was only a dusting that was pretty much all but gone everywhere except for the shady areas. It never ceases to amaze me how localized these events can be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
