I'm use to this amount, just not all at once. The day before yesterday there wan not one spot of snow. It was all grass.

commented 11 years ago

Ducky

No I should correct that. NOT every winter lately. For the past two winters, we've had little snow and much warmer temperatures than normal. These pics are what we've always "considered normal" for us but things are changing.

commented 11 years ago

Colleen

Yes, this amount of snow should be normal for us too. In '78 there was probably this much on the ground already when that blizzard hit. We ended up with 6 foot banks then. Growing up in NH, I am use to winters with this much snow, I just don't like getting it all at once.

commented 11 years ago

Ann

Karma: 477486

Wow! You have more snow than here in NH. We had about 20 inches and very little wind, but we are all worn out from shoveling. No power outage either. MA had 400 thousand power outages. I guess we are very lucky.

20 inches is not really that much less than what we got. I don't know the total of outages here in CT. It was all southern CT though.

We don't get this every winter anymore. The last few winters have been pretty mild.

Yeah I know-- I was a passenger during the 1978 (?) blizzard that covered mideast. That was terrible! but I don't like the cold anymore either, my bones creak. Eventually though i will end up back there as California especially where I am is just not affordable for retirement.

I wish I was getting 48 degrees on Sunday. I'm real worried about my roof with all the snow on it and rain coming Monday. I'm not sure it will handle the weight :(

commented 11 years ago

mycatsmom

Colleen, don't you shovel off you roof ? We do here in Mich. after a deep snow.We do it more in N. Mich. They even sell these long handled things called roof rakes....so you don't have to get up on the roof.

commented 11 years ago

Colleen

I have a rake. The snow is to heavy and dense for me to pull much of it off and there's no way I'm getting up on the roof to shovel it. It's a long house for me to try and shovel off alone.

Just saw the pictures. Doggie coming forward looks like she had her ears pinned back so they wouldn’t get wet.
I was raised in snow country and don’t miss it. Carol and I had fun in an igloo-buiding contest one winter when we were kids. It was the worst igloo on the field. But we laughed the most.

I've not heard Bustione. Hope he's OK. The dog running is Digger. He was just running so fast his ears flew back. He's a beagle with definite beagles ears ;)

3 1/2 feet of snow. Took me two days with the snowblower, and the help of my neighbor, to get our driveway cleared. Now its raining and so foggy I can't see across the street. Good old New England weather, if you don't like it just wait a minute, it will change!
