Oh goodie. MI is a snow and ice magnet, so I guess we'd best do our weekly provisioning early

Meh, we're used to it. The street gas line is new and we have a big propane tank buried in the back yard, so the generator will just fire up after which we're good.

What are they calling for snowfall amounts in the towns/low lying areas?

we have about an inch

3-8 inches isn't that much. I guess for a place like Nevada it can be devastating though. Stay safe and don't drive if you don't have to.

up in the mountains.. massive amounts. I live a steep hill. noone is driving because we are just starting.

I think 2 or 3 winters now, we've averages about 120 inches of snow for the winter.. and it only really snowed in February and March those years. Scary stuff this snow.

Lol. I'll take heavy snow over snow drifts. It's so bad in the area I live in, Semi's were close to flipping over, cars were being abandoned because the snow was too heavy to drive through. Here I am in a 79 Ford F-150 Stock with 35" tires doing 60. I've pulled 4 cops out, and helped a trucker get unstuck. My truck is a friggin' tank.

[LittleFroggy]

well I see as, we need it. the truckee lost alot of trout due to the drought. So I'm not complaining.

I'm @ 4,400 feet at the snowline. Tahoe is an additional 2,225 feet. Mt Rose is elevation is 8,500-8,800 feet

Suck it, constant drought. ... you'll be back in a few months, I'm sure.

 

It is like... raining here. Which is enough to freak out people in LA.

I remember from my young days in SoCal (Orange County), the most excitement was the santa ana winds in winter time
