Big Storm may Extend Season Longer!

[nutsster]

It's starting to snow hard here in Utah tonight! Predictions of up to three feet to hit our mountains. It looks like MtnTopper should get hit hard too.
I hope to get some pics that I can look at through the long summer.

I saw that storm on the news last night.
Be sure to think of your buddies here and share some of the pics when you can.

I continue to be jealous of those of you who are getting snow. Here in the interior of Alaska it's still winter, but we have only just over a foot of snow on the ground. We're a solid 3 feet or so behind the normal snowfall.

Down in southcentral and southeast Alaska they've been getting hammered all the time with snow but we've gotten only about 4 inches since the first of the year.

Send some of that snow to the (middle of) the frozen north, please.

Mike, your one pic must be the Wyoming state highway department snow blower opening the highway by your home? They also were in use on I-90 between Sheridan and Buffalo to open the Interstate highway. The Walmart truck had a load of snow on top that was sliding off going down the Interstate at 65 mph. I was hesitant to even try to pass him and get that chunk of snow dropped on our new Jeep. The other pic is the snowblower in the median at Meade Creek interchange. Interstate 90 was closed for about 3 days and the state highway crews had to push snow sideways in many places to get it off the road as the regular snow plows could not move it. The worst stretch of I 90 was at the MT/WY border with snow stacked 10+ foot high along the highway. You could still see cars stuck in the snow banks at the side of the road. Jan took the pics while we were driving at about 65 mph and managed to get the sunvisor in most. I was anxious to get home and play in the new snow.

We are hearing snow predictions for later this week .... but today we are supposed to get up to 80.

 

[Snowcat Operations]

We are suposed to get to 73 degrees? Yesterday they said low 60s would be our highs.

Maybe, you will have to wait and see.................

63 degress here today. Snowcat season is gone, planting & mowing season is beginning. I actually hobbled out to the workshop on my crutches with a couple guys who wanted to see my Snow Trac. One of the guys has been looking to buy a snowcat and didn't know that anyone else in Indiana was stupid enough own their own snowcat. . . well he found that guy when he found me! But they are predicting 19 degrees and snow flurries for Saturday. No accumulation. Season is still over for us.

Is it a secret?????????????????????????????????? Ooooooo!!! secret snow cats???????

 

[Snowcat Operations]

Guess the extended season is finally done.
