I'd be happy if it would stop doing that here. Seems like I just have time to get the driveway cleared and it's doing it again. Already getting tired of snow, of course it's been on the ground for about a month already.

Crap, 8" would paralyze SW Ohio for days. I'm so glad I grew up in Northern Ohio, on the edge of the snowbelt, so I learned how to handle a little snow and not freak.

For 18 years here I was the first tracks in the snow many times on the 37 mile back road commute. Wondering what vehicle would be sideways around the next bend blocking the road.
Now I put in the morning load, cook breakfast and watch people sliding off the road on the news.
Have a nice day commuters. Been there. Done that and retired from it. Gotta be some benefit of being old and broken down. :-/

People here have been known to fail to get to work after an inch of snow........... ;-)
Years ago we had a Thanksgiving storm in which we got 10" of snow so I will say it's better you then me lol.. This year has been tropical so far with temps running up to the 50's and 60's all month! I am amazed every time I watch the weather report to see 60's in the forecast! Hopefully the trend continues and we get no snow.. I can deal with cold much better than snow!

They are just waiting for the snow here, big business with all the snowmobiles here. It seems like the hunting season has been real slow with all the warm weather plus the lack of snow.

Oh, yeah, should be gone by Monday. Told my plow guy Wednesday not to bother with anything less than a foot, ground isn't frozen yet, makes too big a mess to plow, my truck will handle wallowing around in a foot or so with no problem.

I plowed during the Halloween storm . . . should have known better . . . didn't bother this time around . . . snow is pretty much all gone now around the house . . . just a bit in the woods.

I have been saying for a while that one of the happiest days in my life will be the day of the first snow storm after I retire. Sadly, that day probably won't come for 20 years or so.

Well, I can assure any youngsters waiting for retirement, the years go by quick enough without rushing them.
And having our first really cold winter last year since 1963, I can assure anyone it's not fun breaking the ice to get water indoors to flush the toilet after all the mains water supplies have frozen, or getting water to livestock when their water supply is frozen solid.
Snow scenes look great in everybody else's pictures though ;-)
Looks like the right vehicle for the snow. 
Wish we'd get a few more feet of it. Maybe soon
Nice pictures
