It’s -3 last I looked a few minutes ago. Maybe, an inch of snow Brrr |
No snow squall yesterday on the mountain yesterday. Calling for 1 to 3" of snow tonight into tomorrow ending at 1PM. I'm rooting for the 1". |
I don’t know if we got over an inch of snow last year. I was wrong about yesterday. It’s just enough snow to cover the ground |
I've been snow bound seems like for eons The 16th we got 6" of snow the 19th 5" Even tho my driveway is plowed I have to shovel out two vehicles and front of the house plus the back deck. Also clear snow off two vehicles then shovel that mess. I'm all shoveled out lol. |
That’s more snow then we will get the whole winter here more than likely |
Winter of 2022 and beginning of 2023 were unusually mild, very little snow, again unusual. What snow that fell melted. I had my driveway plowed once both years. December and January of 2024 started off extremely mild with temps of high 40's and mid 50's. I thought we would low amounts of snow. In 12 days we have had 3 snow falls totaling 23 1/2 inches of snow, and we still have to get through Feb. and March. March is a treacherous month for snow falls. I'm in a tourist town, many ski hotels and lodges, they lost a lot of money due to no snow= no skiers. I'm sure they recouped that loss over these last 12 days and with frigid temps they can blow snow, so I'm glad for the hotels, lodgers and the tourist that love to ski. Not happy about all the snow I have to shovel tho, lol. |
We’re still in a moderate drought. Any rain or snow would be nice |
Wish I could wiggle my nose and send some of this snow and rain your way. |
Nice try Samantha Mid 40’s here for the next ten days. Some rain later today |
These temps are crazy. Next 10 days temps all in the 40's, Thursday to be 50. I put my bird feeders out bout 2 weeks ago when it was quite cold. Now with these warmer temps I hope the bears don't come out of hibernation and destroy the feeders. |
Whoa You got bears close by? |
2 Attachment(s) Yep, coyotes and fox too. This guy was in my neighbors yard for 45 minutes about 100 feet from my deck. He's the only one that has ever been close and hung around for me to snap many photos. They are not afraid of ppl, I bang a couple of pots together and they meander back into the woods. |
How cool How close are you to town? My little town was built in a river valley. We have deer and fox running around the woods in town. |
Town lol, I live on a mountain in a heavily wooded area. Town is maybe 20 miles or so away. I have no back yard fence, my yard is filled with deer all day due to the bird feeders. The feeders are hung from tree branches 12 to 15 feet from the ground. Deer will stand on their hind legs to get to the feeders. Every so often we have Bob cat visits. I have only seen them via my cameras never in person. |
Used to see bobcats where I work on edge of town. I never saw them before that. I hope they are still around. Been quite a while since I worked there |
With their habitat being taken away due to building housing these poor animals are being displaced. By me, they have learned to live among humans. Bears go for for garbage pails. I have read many articles where fox and coyotes live in towns and raid trash pails for food. Ya can't stop the building, soon there won't be any wooded areas for these poor animals. By me they are building mini malls, we just got Tractor Supply, lost a lot of woods for that project. Too many ppl moving to my area cos it's an easy commute to NYC where most ppl work, loosing a lot of wooded areas. Now a huge project is started. Hospital, housing and stores one mile from the entrance of an interstate highway. I moved here to get away from city life, city ppl, it's getting just as bad as NY my home town where I moved from. Very sad. |
I do miss living in the country |
Country is quiet and peaceful. |
Did you say you had moved there after retirement or, did you find a job there? |
I was working in NY the Bronx, my home town. Had to quit my job 20 year old job for one in Manhattan an easier commute. I commuted via bus for 10 years then retired. Many NYers and NJ families move to my area because it's on the border line of NJ making it an easy commute to their NYC jobs. Houses in Pa. are cheaper, $250,000.00 house here, in NY would be $700,000.00, in NJ would be $500,000. So they flock to Pa. displacing a lot of wild life due to less wooded area. So the wild life learn to live among humans . Then the city folk are freaked out when they see a bear lol. |
I watch house hunters on occasion and I’m amazed at the difference in the price of houses from state to state |
Even tho the cost of houses in my area have rosin in the last 2 years they are still much more reasonable priced than NY and NJ. Yes the cost of buying houses differ greatly from state to state and counties within those states. |
I’m 60 some miles east of St. Louis in the middle of corn fields. I was lucky to get my house when home prices were down 10 years ago. A lawyer had paid the back taxes on the property so, I was able to give a low bid and buy it |
I would LOVE to live among corn fields, do you get any deer by you. You got a good deal on your house and no pesky neighbors to bother you. sounds like a win, win situation. |
I just have worded that differently. I do reside in town. The town is surrounded by corn fields. There are many deer that are in areas inside the town due to wooded areas |
LOL, makes sense now lol, one of your post said you missed living in the country. Last week we had our first major snow storm, dumped 13 inches of snow on us. I hope that's the end and March is kinder. |
We’ve had a few enough to cover the ground for a day or two. 1-3 inches is forecast for today. I’m not holding my breath |
I woke this morning to 4 inches. 1PM sun coming in and out, hoping it melts the snow on my vehicles, I have the driveway plowed if 3 inches and over. I'm not going to shovel the deck, Sunday partly sunny, Monday and Tuesday sunny. I know I'm going to regret not shoveling the deck lol. |
I might have gotten 5 to 6 inches here. With a lot colder air today or, it would’ve melted off |
Temps have warmed up, seeing highs of 40's this coming week. I still have a lot of snow in the back yard. Hopefully some will melt. |
