Well as of this time the old yard stick says about 27" of the new white stuff. since yesterday i have cleared 4 driveways 2 times each. If I was to put the driveways end to end thay would strectch a mile. As soon has i down load the camera I will give a link to see a few of my pictures. and yes it is still snowing right now!!!!

Better you than me.... ;D

Is that what they would refer to as "heart attack snow"? It looks like those little pine trees are about ready to give up!

How was your ice doing before that snow? If the temps stay mild, that snow may buy you a little more time on the ice. Be careful though, snow covers up the bad spots. :-\

The ice is starting to pull away from shore here. That last bit of rain we got didn't do the ice any favors. I would not hesitate to go out one more time, but I doubt I will.

We got 10 inches of wet snow again today. Will spring ever come?\ It is 30 degrees right now with a gusty 20 mph wind. ::)

I was talking to some folks today that believed that the snow that fell on the metro was a new variety unknown to meteorology. The stuff that fell on St Paul makes "heart attack" snow look light weight! I would compare this snow to one of those Icee drinks that you would get at a gas station. Here are a few of the proposed names for this new kind of snow...

Snow sauce
Snause
Cream of snow
Snoop

we only ended up getting about 8 or 10 inches of that crap.  Went out on the ice today and there are ppl still out with 4 wheelers but there is about 5 inches of slush on top of the ice there is still over 2 ft of ice.   ;D

I'm referring to the type of snow we got within the last week as READYMIX.
  . . . because . . .
If you've ever worked concrete, that's a good comparison to what it was like shoveling snow in St Paul during April 2008.

July 18th 1992.
My Son and I rode the Harley over to Red Lodge,before we got there it was snowing.A guy in the Bull and Bear Saloon asked if we were going to go over Beartooth Pass then He advised us to not do that as there was 18 inches of snow and slush going bye that way. :woot: :woot: :woot: :wacko: :whistle:
