Plenty Cold but No Snow!

Starting to look like the Texas drought here!  There should be a snow in all these pictures.  Some years, this time of the year a lot of snow.  Like a couple feet at least by now.  The ski areas have been hit hard.  Sun Valley has a limited amount of ski runs open.  They make some snow.  It is threatening some storms finely.  WOW! I am not liking this at all but at least you don't have to chain up!        











This should look a lot like the photo below

A few days late but we did get probably a 1/2" to make a White Christmas ( delayed) this morning.  We too have been blessed with the absence of the white stuff.  Normally at this time of the year I would have had to plow at least a couple of times. Now if it would just stay like this until April NOT I would be satisfied.

It's been way too warm here. High 50s and 30s at night.

No snow in CA either.  You can still drive over Tioga Pass in Yosemite, which normally shuts November and should 20' or so under snow at this point.  Same at our cabin - this time last year it was 4' deep and too much with the ATV with snow tracks.  This year not a spot of white anywhere.  Not looking forward to the Fall fire season...

We are a little low on snow on our property now.  We have about 48" when we should be closer to 60".  It started off wet this fall, but we have not had any snow recently.

Frank that is where all of ours went.  No apology needed. .  We only got about 2" last night. Just enough to play around with the 4-wheeler & plow hoping that the sun ( HaHa) will melt off the rest.  A lot of wind so drifting a little. Temperature hasn't risen above 18F all day.  With the wind the chill factor is around -5F.  Tonight forecast is flurries with a low of around 7F.

Normally, I'd love a little of that snow John....but not while I'm adding on to the barn

Peter even w/o the snow it has to be a little chilly even at the farm now. I saw where Charlotte had 22F.  Sort of brings out the best in you when you smack a finger with a hammer in this cold.

I think our high was 77 degrees today     No rain in sight.  Last & only rain was in October...  as someone else said, no snow over Tioga Pass - that's pretty unheard of - haven't looked to see if this has happened before.

I looked it up...I remember hammers. That's what they used before nail guns
