...I'm northwest and just saw the first flakes.



This thing looks like its starting to wind up...feels more like January than March.

We've been getting snow and snow mixed with rain for about a week now. Got another inch or so last night. More due tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. It's cloudy out right now, but we're getting a reprieve at least for the moment.

Oops. Reprieve over. When I wrote this it wasn't snowing out front, but I just saw it is snowing out back. And even as I'm typing, it's moved to the front.

4. Western, New York: there's no snow here either...

Snow, from a farmer's perspective is a wonderful thing. A decent winter snowcover acts to aid nitrogren fixation; which will allow farmer's to use less chemicals this upcomming season. Orchard growers are also affected by the lack of cold nights lately. Sugar maple harvests have been abysmal in recent years as well...

It's all coming full-circle; and those who will act completely shocked will be the one's who will be able to afford to shelter it's affects. Millions will be added to the intolerable suffering that is already ocurring.

I have it right here in Missouri-a couple of feet of snow.

I'd link a couple of pics but our local paper is subscription only.

12. We in Maryland expect a dumping of 6 to 9 inches tonight and tomorrow

And it's expected to be "heavy, wet snow" which will probably squash all the tiny crocuses that are blooming.

16. It seems to have slowed down, not a particularly good sign. We were supposed to get it this morning.

When a storm slows down it grows in intensity. I think I found the key to the snow blower. I might need it. If it isn't the right key, I'll just hot-wire it.

.... I really want to leave work early today & work from home tomorrow, so if it snows like a bitch from 5 pm - 5 am, that'd be a good thing.
