Does anybody want to trade me places here in New Mexico. I have snow coming out of my ears right now.
No!!! :D :D
We have rain and we want to keep it.
You're right, Wilma. The rain is good, needed, and we're keeping it.
We might talk about a white Christmas, rosewolf, but we're content with our rain and I'm very content for you to have the snow. ;)
Lol I'm not I have to did out of my drive just to go to work. The sad thing is the boss expects me to be there in the morning. Granted it is just a mile to work, but a lot can happen between there and my house.
Pretty bad I can't spell either. LOL I meant to say dig out so I can go to work.
rosewolf, you don't have to trade because they are going to have all the snow they can get there in Elk County. And, far be it from me to rub it in.........................No, sorry, I want to rub it in. Our weatherman just said after a little wind on Wednesday and Thursday, the temp is going to go up and we are looking at 75 degrees on Christmas Day.
And I ain't trading that with nobody!!!!!!! ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Will you come down and shovel snow for me? ;D

Honey, that is sluff epedermis from not cleaning them out! ;D
In due time we will have the snow, which will be a blessed water souce for the ponds that shrunk during the drought.
As far as digging out your driveway and getting to work....sounds like you wanted a 'snow' day...got it, and now you may have to do it again.
Wouldn't trade where I live for the world......well maybe NE Oregon! :-\

From the sounds of it I may not have a choice anyway. The boss said snow or no snow I have to work tomorrow. I can look out my front window and can not see the road in front of my house it is so covered. And yes I do believe that you do need some water up there. Good luck with that. :)
When I lived in New Mexico, I only saw snow once in 16 years. But then that was in Artesia in the desert and it was only about an inch. I think I still have the picture I took of the snow on the roof of the house. Good luck getting to work.

Same as no snow here today, but what a nice rain we have had. :) :)
I don't know that snow will be needed. see most of the ponds around that have filled up already. Some are overflowing.

That is good news. I don't know how much rain we have had as my rain gauge is you know where. Can anybody help me out by telling me how much rain we have had? I know that my ditch out front was running over most of the afternoon. The radar looks as if we might get some more rain.
Mine is full too. Good sign! I know a friend of mines ponds are full as well. I pray for a nice warm winter for all of us who have critters too. That will help with the shortage of feed and hay.

Perhaps in your area, however in my area, we can still use another 2" as well as the snow for the winter wheat. I agree, the ponds are starting to shape up. The rains tend to come across the SE>NE Elk county line, then jump north across 400 hwy and bypass the bottom part of Greenwood County.Then it jumps back again to the N/NE and South of Wilson. Wierd patterns this year.
I tossed 2 1/2 inches out last night. It still rained this afternoon, so we'll see.

Well after the snow did stop we ended up with 14 inches of snow and all roads leading out north of town still closed and they may not reopen until tomorrow evening. You never know around here. I did here that people were stranded on those roads leading out north of us and they were buried under snow and the National Guard was looking for them. The last I heard they have not found all of them yet. I hope they make it out.

You know there was plenty of warning about the snow, and why is it people feel this burning desire to head out just before it hits! Sheesh. Its like they are asking to be trapped.
I don't care if its christmas, my birthday, or the pope is coming to town, if i hear a weather report that theres going to be a lot of snow like that i'm parking my butt in my house by a warm fire!
I would have to agree. They had been talking about that storm for almost a week and yet they felt that they still had to travel. They are talking about another storm coming in but it is not suppose to be as bad.
We certainly are not going anywhere today.
Depth from overnight appears to be around 8 inches with snow still falling and supposed to abate this evening.
What good weather to watch Thursday Night Football.
Right now we are being pelted with either sleet or frozen snow pellets. It is beginning to show up on elevated surfaces.
Good idea, Waldo! We will also be watching football tonight although we are not snowed in. Take care and stay warm and dry!
Karen, are you sure that football is part of your rehab? ??? I mean, too much excitement could be hazardous.............oh wait, maybe you need the stimulation! Glad you are doing okay.

Since it started, we have had about half an inch of accumulation on the porch rail, the only place that it doesn't seem to be melting off. I expect it will all be gone by noon tomorrow.
