Jim, I think you bragged too soon about not having much snow this past winter, but then again, it is now Spring, so guess you cannot say that about your Spring now. LOL that is a lot of wet snow!

6 - 12 inches in the plains... 2 feet in the mountains.

I'm not quite plains, just of the rocky mountain front by 45 minutes...

I'm thinking we got 10 - 12 inches... CORRECTION: Reports say 19 inches...

I drove the truck... I'm silly, not insane. Okay, I'm insane too - not stupid, usually... okay - I'm not retarded (often). :tard:

It's melting nicely today... ended up being 19 inches, and was very drivable.

It was the most snow seen at once here all winter so it was just suprising after hitting 80 degrees a few times last week!

Well Jim what can I say but that looks like my yard too. We got hit hard too. I was out shoveling before work just to get out. It took me 45 minutes to get to work. Driving around the lake was no fun. Don't you just love spring snow...LOL. I remember one year getting 4 feet over night!!

Okay, I have officially stopped whining about the weather here. After looking at your pics I have nothing to complain about. I put the snow blower away last week and got the lawn mower out.

Hang in there pal!

Handsome I wish I could see snow like that !!!! BUT 4 am is really to early for work in that cold stuff. Hope you warmed up that purty truck :wink:

Marjorie! I woulda' romped in the snow with ya' at 4 am... but it's too far to bring it to you! It's mostly gone now, and I'm glad to have the moisture on the yard... The truck did just fine and enjoyes the cold to play in...
