Our mountains have had as much as 10 inches in places (utah). I'm on my way to Jackson Wyoming for a 4 day weekend, and I'm taking my winter coat.

Winter Park! I remember that place and I have the scars on my knees that remind me every day. I was trying to show off after I learned enough about sking to be dangerous. Hey I got to ride down the mountain in one of those blow up sleds the rescue team uses.

Winter Park is great! It's a huge mountain and has lots of varied terrain.

WOOHOO!!! I wake up and to my surprise, there's about 2 inches of snow on the ground!

My new dog has never seen snow before, so we went outside and he was quite nervous to walk on it. My other dog showed him how it's done. It was so cute.

We had a record 40+ inches of snow for the season prior to Christmas, but now it's all gone. Unseasonably warm temps as well as thunderstorms (pretty much unheard of for MI) yesterday wiped it out.

I've got the ac on today to help knock down the humidity. We had very heavy rains last night when the cold front came through; 5.71 inches in 45 minutes. Not bad but my lower lying neighbors sure as hell aren't happy about it.

Finally after weeks without much snow it was a POWDER DAY today Yeehaw!

Of course I was so excited that I ended up with the most spectacular wipeout I've ever had :)

OK, it's not snowing yet, but they're saying up to an inch of snow as low as 500 feet. Too bad I'm at around 20 feet above sea level....

Also, up to 6 inches of snow above 2500 feet. Lots of Bay Area hills above that elevation. Who needs Tahoe?!

There was a nice coating of snow on those hills for a few days when I was out there a few weeks ago.

No snow in the Catskills or Adiriondacks. Did hit an hour long heavy snow squall in Utica which stopped me from driving up to the Canadian border to visit a friend. My car was loaded down with tools from Harbor Freight. Gift cards courtesy of my wife for Xmas. I guess I wanted to play with them.

I have 2 weeks off, so maybe later. Tomorrow I have to head down to South Jersey (5 1/2 - 6 hour ride) to do some plumbing & carpentry work for my step mother-in-law.

It rained from 11 to 1pm, the temps dropped suddenly and the roads went from being wet to ice in about 10 minutes, then we got 3 inches of snow in 2 hours...heavy, wet snow on top of ice...I had a funeral that started at 1pm...when I got there it started snowing...I almost didn't make it home which was a mile from the church with steep hills...didn't even attempt to get up the driveway...sometimes 4 wheel drive would be useful...LOL...

dug out yesterday. Had drifts up to about 3.5 feet in my driveway, but they are clear now. The suns out and the roads are mostly clear too.

Yeah, the Denver airport has been and still is a MESS, (according to the news) the Today show opened with a shot from DIA. poor folks, its sposed to open up at noon today.

Good Luck Bison!

We're sposed to get another little flurry of snow tonight or tomorrow I think, but only a couple of inches this time.

We had about 23 inches accumulation.

My neighbor across the street had a cornice develop on her roof that ripped off the gutters. YIKES!
