First snow of the season Nov 15th
 

Got 6” fairly quick now all rain turning to slush. My 982 with the 450 blower is waiting for exhaust and intake manifold gaskets, so I cleared the drive with the 149 loader. Took the deck of the 682 and installed the qa42b I got an an auction over the summer for $12. By the time I got it hooked up and running the snow was too heavy and wet for it to work. Swept leaves and tilled them in the garden and mowed grass two weekends ago and now this

Only a wet dusting here with temps at 33°. Suppose to climb to 38° tomorrow. Not going to last.

8" here and still snowing, I am not ready yet either Rick.

We have ton's of Yankees here that tell us how us Southerners can't drive in the white stuff. How they never are late for work or schools are never closed unless its way over a foot. But the national news tonight had plenty of footage to prove otherwise. Fake news?:bigthink:

As a resident of PA, it seemed to be a meeting of the idiots club today with the first snow. The snow did have a layer of ice mixed in with it so that was a big "help" in the ditches collecting idiots.

My wife and I both have four wheel drive vehicles and make it home just fine. Amazing what a little patience and good tires can do.

Probably fake Yankees BS'ing you! We get school closings and hundreds of car wrecks with a few flakes of snow.

Three inches of snow in central Jersey. It'll be gone by Sunday.

First snow of the year is always a poocarnival even if it's only .25 inches. After that, it takes a few inches to really affect much here. Also depends on the type of snow. Any amount of ice will basically shut it all down no matter what.

My experience in the south (Southern Mississippi) in January/February was widespread panic over freezing temperatures with any chance of precipitation. It's more of a "crap, well it's that time of year again" up here.

Then again summer down there was absolutely miserable.

Nope, these are the real deal. We have to translate and explain what menu items are for these guys. Except the ones from upstate New York, they just blend in REALLY well.:bigthink:

Had a Canadian and a guy from Connecticut with us for a while. We figured 10 inches of snow they would know to stay home---WRONG. Had to explain to them. Got a guy from Minnesota, real deal--didn't hardly wear a jacket all winter. Gave him advanced warning of our winter holidays. But he gave me the weirdest look when I was talking about eating Okra, even had to spell it for him. It was on his bucket list to ride out a hurricane, guess he got that one checked off twice this year!

"Poocarnival"--I'm stealing that!!

Yeah, ice storms in the South--all those pine trees ain't happy about that!

Waitress; "Hey folks, what can I get ya'll for dinner?"

Guest; " Well, actually we are just going to have lunch, but... Uhhh.. here's a dish I've never heard of,.. I'd like the lamb fries"

Waitress; (snickering) "OK dear, one plate of lamb fries. The're kinda salty, would you like some tea with that?"

:biggrin2:
