BRRRRRRRRRRRRR, well, it's been a good few weeks for snow here in Cranberry junction, plenty of snow.
Right now we have 25 inches of snow on the ground with 1 inch of ice in between. Plenty of ice damming jobs to shovel off and another Noreaster in the making, right after a small 4-5 inch squall blows through...and oh yea, the temperature right now out at the bus stop was negative... - 16 degrees.
Thank the weather gods there is no wind....yet.
Time to move someplace warmer, NEVER!! I'm goin North.

Nothing, provided you have shoes.

We did, and we were shut down as well, but it was only for a few hours.

We went from 22" on the level ground to about 5" (official average), but have green showing along some streets and ice in the gutters on the other side.
Very little has run off, so the moisture is in the remaining snow, the piles and in the soil and there will be flooding. 220 miles NW of Minneapolis/St. Paul they are staring to fill the 3,000,000 bags of sand that will be a start of the protection. 20 miles east of here they are getting ready with signs for flood detours because there are so many commuters going across that river. - It will be interesting to see what happens as spring unfolds. I designed a power transmission tower that required 22' of concrete below the steel to get above the flood level, but the debris that got into the steel tower caused many problems, so there are no guarantees except that the Red River of the north will flood and be miles wide because it flows north into unthawed areas instead of south where it is already warm.
They are promising 6" more snow this week-end, but it will be gone in a few days, but it will be replaced with more later and moisture will still be stored.
