Ya gotta applaud those bunnies for sacrificing their hearing just so some guy in Cupertino can have better TV reception.

We got 30 small flakes at around 5:15 AM on the 7th.

I counted them.  

When it stopped, my "Boy Howdy! One more white weekend" turned to "Bummer".

With apologies to those without snow tires on all 4 wheels.

Here in Green Bay, it has snowed a little the past few days. Today, it seems to be comming down pretty hard, but we'll see how long lasts.

Of course, up at michigan tech, we still have 2 feet on the ground!

Steve, you'd think it'd snow On Alaska like crazy!    

More flurries here today! Every day this month we've had measurable snow, after a winter of bare brown grass.

It's a white out here in Central Wisconsin now. It's been snowing all morning. We got about 4" since last night and it's supposed to snow most of the day. Who knows how much we'll get.

We still have a couple feet on the ground too.

Greg,

We got it today instead    

Snuffy,  I used to have snow tires on all four wheels on a Dodge neon.... Now I have a 4x4 ram... Works even better

Hey! 50's by the weekend! Maybe Spring won't be postponed too! I'm hoping we just had a postponed onset of winter, not the close out. When I dump the SnoBoy avatar, I'm hoping we don't see any more of the white stuff for awhile. (Where's the "praying hands" graemlin?)
