I should have cleared the roof ahead of this since it already had over 2' but I didn't really think it would be this bad. I'll be shoveling snow well after dark. Talk about a glacier. UUUFFFTA!

Brian D Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Snow winding down here. Looks like another 2 or 3" today. Close to foot here the last couple days., and March still to go, and probably some in April this year too. Already at avg snow for the season. Bo won't see the ground until Memorial day this year.

Hoosier Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 Heading into this storm, it's going to look exactly the same outside as it did heading into the 2/17 event... just piles and drifted areas of snow left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL haha! Someone on the board posted a week or so ago that there is no such thing as too much snow. I'm not so sure bout that. Calling it a day. It's impossible to be up on the roof in this, it's getting dark and I don't want to fall or get hurt. Tackle it after the storm. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im definitely going to enjoy the near 60 degree temps At least you got to experience some nice temperatures. I had to deal with mid 30s, pouring rain and NE winds. I hope you enjoyed your S winds and nice temps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A young man's place to live. A significant percentage of your life during the winter is just dealing with the amount of snow that disrupts your daily life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrdIowPitMsp Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 4.9” officially as of 6pm. Light snow showers will probably bring us to just over 5” when all is said and done. This is on just 0.19” of liquid precipitation for a nearly 26-1 ratio. There was over 3 hours today with visibility under 1 mile and about an hour with visibility at or below a quarter mile. Seasonal snowfall stands at 41.8” or about how much snow is on Bo’s roof. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't remind me. As of 7pm MQT has received 27.1 inches (1.75 liquid, roughly 15:1 ratios) since the first flakes started to fly late Sunday night, and they increased their depth by 20" to 38". I estimate I've had 31-32" and probably have an average depth of 45-48". Hard to say because both of my 60" NWS snow stakes have drifted and been covered completely. Still snowing at a nice clip and could see another 5 or 6 inches by morning... then clean up which will take me a couple days at least. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a lot of work and takes up a lot of time, yes. I enjoy being out in the snow so it's not so bad. I've been slacking the past couple weeks with a stubborn cold and am paying the price now.

Another 8" overnight bringing my total to around 40". Mqt had an additional 8.5" last night bringing their storm total to 35.9". My snow depth is definitely over 50". It blew and drifted enough that all my work on the roof was erased. starting from scratch again. MQT also set a snow record yesterday with 21.6", an all time single day February record. Snow trying to wind down. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snow trying to wind down. I’ve got some friends going up to Mt. Bohemia this weekend. Very jealous of them, as conditions look unreal. Good luck with the snow clearing today. Ship some of it over this way. The lakes could use some moisture to fill back up this spring. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian D Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Two Harbors ends with 10" in town, with about a 12" away from the lake. Site in town has 26" snow depth with 7NW site having 37". Pics from my home. Sorry, but being in a wheelchair limits my getting around, especially winter. Nothing like Bo's, but more than enough. Looks like Washburn,WI ends with 33.5".

Houses here can take the weight he said. I've cleared around the chimney stack and when the snow melts this Spring, he's gonna add a 4' piece of stove pipe to extend it past the roof peak so I don't have to dick with this every year.

Was hoping we could get something from that system showed promise early but went to far north same story either to far south or north. I'm not surprised your contractor said that about your roof as I'm sure most houses were built to handle the snow load. Even in my area the stick built homes are built strong on the roof/trusses, I was shocked how may supports/braces my roof had when I went in my attic. Makes it a bear walking around up there with all the braces everywhere. I would be okay with having 5-6' on my roof without thinking anything of it, not that I would ever see that down here in troll land 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it has to flip at some point. Interesting you mention the trusses. I pulled down the attic stairs in the garage and my contractor and I went up, and he showed how there was very little pressure on the trusse braces. You could pound on them with your fist and get some flimsy movement showing they're not stressed at all. I'm ecstatic, while I love snow, shoveling a roof isn't on my list fun things, I just always felt I needed to do it. I'm officially a yooper lol 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weatherbo Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 Am concerned for the little doe that stayed behind this season. Haven't seen her or any tracks in a couple days. Poor thing is only around 30" tall at the shoulder. I fear she will freeze and starve to death or be coyote/wolf food. Maybe she got some sense and split but I don't think so. Think i'll put on the snow shoes and head out back and see if I can spot any sign of her. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
