First Snowfall of 2015

Winter has arrived here in Jackson Michigan. Ten to twelve inches total expected between tonight and tomorrow morning.

Thanks for the warning!
Looks like family fun time.

Great thing about Portland, we get a day or two of snow a winter, the city shuts down and then back to the rain.

Brrr.

No snow yet. It's cool here though.

But more important, no snow. Yet. No snow more better good.

We got 8" here in Lansing. Kids lasted maybe 3 minutes outside after wanting to play in the snow all day. Their reply? "It's to cold out here I Wanna go back inside daddy". Took longer to get them dressed than the time they actually spent outside. Lol.

Yeah, my girls had a blast getting pulled around the yard on the sled.

It's good family time. Stuff you always remember.

How long did the tow motor last?? hope you had enuff' fuel for the machine :beard:

My girlfriend was traveling through Toledo last night for work and it was snowing there a little bit. Nothing in Cleveland yet though. It's on the way...

We had 5.5 inches here, but some lucky folks south hit the 1 foot mark. Supposed to melt before Thanksgiving. We're gonna have both kids and spousal units here, so hoping for good weather!

It's snowed here weeks ago, but I do live near the mountains

We got the same storm here in southeast WI. Hey, if you gotta get hit with a snowstorm, it's pretty great to have it start on Friday evening after everyone's home from work then continue overnight leading to a leisurely Saturday morning cleanup.

The bummer here was that it was a wet snow, followed by some freezing rain in the afternoon, then a huge temp drop around 3:00 pm. Ice everywhere.

About a foot here.

At the point this picture was taken, I had just finished clearing the driveway out with the snow blower, so I had about half a tank left in the sled tow motor.

I am hoping NC sees some snow this year. The three years I lived in NY City, we saw over 50 inches of snow, and that was just two storms.

It's pretty, but y'all can keep it. It always comes with ice here.

Where I am its due to snow Friday. Im looking forward to it but not... Its a love hate relationship

Busted out the push broom and shovels this weekend. I use the push broom to push the snow off the cars, and then shovel it away. At least until the sno gets packed down in the driveway where I don't have concrete. Once the bottom gets hard, I bring out the snow blower.

I'd say we got about 8" this weekend. I'm not sure it's sticking around though. It's already compressed to a couple of inches and any warm spell will melt it away. I bet it would be nice for a snowman, though!

We had a bit here in finland, but it all melted already, I want more snow, it's depressingly dark now at the moment.

Everything seems to be "extreme" this year with the weather, first the coldest summer in a century, now the warmest november in 50 years...

Snow's all gone. Melted last week. I cut the warped end off a 4x4 pole and planted the straight section in the backyard about 8 feet high to hang bird feeders. Ground was plenty soft yet. Mower gets brought back from the repair shop tomorrow, just in time to park it in it's winter spot in the shed and then I can bring the snowblower out and park it in the garage for it's season of use.

Same here. Snow mostly melted, then we had a ton of rain on Thanksgiving that took care of the rest. That allowed me to gather up the remaining leaves for the City to collect, and I put down one last application of Milorganite, then I got the snowblower ready to go.
