It's 15 below right now. Not snowing at least. I will be able to seriously detect here about the middle of May, as usual. We will probably have a total of about 13 ft. of snow between now and then; maybe more this year. I should be jumping up and down and screaming what sissies y'all are, but you won't hear that from me. We have the manpower and equipment to maintain our snow. Coincidentally, it's a ski resort area so the snow helps out. Most of our water pipes are buried about 4 ft. You folks aren't equipped to handle heavy snow and have no reason to be. The bright side is it's snow and not an ice storm. Don't drive anywhere unless you need to, and if you do prepare as if you might have to spend the night in a snow drift. Be sure all your outside faucets are insulated and drain any water lines not in use. Check the antifreeze in the car and have plenty of washer fluid. I can tell you this about cold--when it gets down to 0, 30 below doesn't really feel much different. And that's without wind chill. I really hope y'all stay safe and spring comes quick for you.
