March 13/14, 2019 Winter Blizzard

[Ohio Joe]

Check this out. This is at the corner of 2nd st. and Wagon Wheel Rd in Crawford, Nebraska (where I live)... This has to be close to 36 inches of snow - though I'm sure the wind contributed to that mass of snow. No idea how they'll ever get a plow down that street, and with the City Park basically at flood stage - I have no idea where they'll relocated this snow after removal.

I actually have higher drifts then this where I live (other side of town) up on the hill two blocks from our school. I don't think my wife and I are going anywhere for quite a'while.

This storm's a "doozy" alright,.... not a whole lot of snow here, though it's hard to tell how much we've actually had, with 70 MPH wind gusts blowin' the stuff around. 

Stay warm,... and stay safe!

Rondo, you and Beth also take care down there.

I've got 3 to 5 feet (maybe 6 feet) in our alley in different areas,,, and naturally we parked out back... I'd hate to think how much snow our vehicles would be under especially after the snow plow runs (if it can even cut through this stuff) if we'd a parked out front. Crawford doesn't have the greatest snow removal equipment... Cindy and I are riding this out okay however, as is the kids and grand kids. Everybody's warm and safe!

You guys stay safe!
This last one was indeed a "doozy" and will take weeks to clear if we don't get warmer weather real soon.
We got hit twice with blizzard type weather in just over a month.....I'd get a path shoveled, and 30 / 40 mph winds with fresh snow would cover it up as soon as I got it cleared...or, later that same day.

I learned real quick not to run the truck over the fresh drifts until they'd been shoveled first. You need a pick-axe to break that stuff up after it has been packed.

You guys hunker down and stay safe.

[Nessmuk]

Wow, Joe! You've been "Bomb Cycloned" for sure.

Stay safe, Friend.

[Ohio Joe]

Sure was the last thing I was wanting - that's for sure.

I know Russ has been fighting this winters snow for some time now, so I can count myself lucky that we got as far as we did with minimal snow fall this winter - that is of course until this last one...

[Winter Hawk]

Just be thankful that you are retired and don't have to go to work!     Looks like a hot chocolate and good book type of day.  I envy you!

Better keep an eye on your roof. Those snow loads can get pretty substantial.

[Ohio Joe]

That it can Hank. This time around we didn't get much snow on the roof as the wind kept it from accumulating any great deal on the roof. We're snowed in however, to say the least...

[Spotted Bull]

And THAT friends and neighbors, is why I live SOUTH of the Red River!

[Ohio Joe]

This is my alley, and needless to say we can't get down it. (I think you're on to something there, Spotted Bull) 



And we can't get up it!

[rollingb]

Hey Joe,.... I've got a tractor that'll make short work of that snow, and you're welcome to use it. 

[Bigsmoke]

Ever think of a dog sled?

If all else fails, a snowmobile would be a lot of fun, too.  Plus, after a dozen or so passes back and forth, you could probably drive on it.  Call it a civic service.

[Hank in WV]

Well, you're always looking for an excuse to tinker out in the shed. SNOW SHOES!

[Ohio Joe]

You guys are right! I'm gonna have to start thinking all three; tractor, dog-sled, and snow shoes... Once I get all three of those - I bet it'll never snow again...

And that might just be worth it!!!
