Only about an inch of snow so far, but 5-9 of blowing white stuff in the forecast for Tuesday night and Wednesday here in southern Minnesota.
Got the carburetor rebuilt on the Skidozer and it seems to purr like a kitten (pardon the snocat pun: it's a Monday, what did you expect?).

Southern California got 2-20 inches of snow above 4,000 foot on 12/7/09. Made the burn areas (Station Fire in the Angles Forest) look very nice. Ran our loader and plow truck at our Fire Camp (elv. 5,500) for about 6 hours on the 7th, and 4 hours on the 8th. We got about 6 inches of nice heavy snow. Another storm is coming in this weekend. YEAH WINTER!!!!!!
Not a lot of snow but we have temperatures dropping into the single digits and winds howling at 50mph. We do have snow drifts, but its hard to tell how much snow we have because its all blowing so hard that there are areas with no snow cover and other areas where drifts are measured in feet. I'd honestly guess we have a couple of inches, but I wouldn't know how to measure it since the wind is blowing so hard that its snowing sideways.

Here's some pics from around the house. We get about half of what town gets and we're only 10 miles up the road. And yes, that's my deuce with a little snow in front of it. Thompson Pass is about 16 road miles from our place and that's where they got 7 feet the other day.

thats pretty cool a heavy snow fall around here is only about 12 inches but is always comes with wind so the low spots and willows get filled up with feet of snow its not hard to go from 12 inches to 6 feet in a vehicles length.
Probably had 4-6" of old snow on the ground after a few days of warm weather. Started snowing Friday morning, and we've got over a foot already with another 4-6" forecast before it turns through freezing rain to rain.
Fingers crossed it doesn't change over.
Here's a pic in town (where there's less snow) - Nova Scotia, Canada

I look at this to get a rough idea before we travel on snow depths in the US
you can zoom into a location but unsure how accurate it always is. it gives a good general idea though

Does anyone else find that there is less snow this year. Normally in the middle of January, we have 3-4 ft of snow and are able to groom all the trails to a tabletop smoothness. This year is a total flop so far. Usually in January, it gets down to -30/-40 celsius and stays there for a month. It was freaking raining here the other day
We've not got roughly a foot of snow

GroomerDudeNWO.....You are not alone in wondering ware all the snow is. We have about 12" of hard snow old snow, VERY unusual for the 16th of Jan. The forecast does not even call for any significant snow for the next 8 days and maybe longer! No lake effect snow ether, and that is almost unheard of this time of year. We don't even want to take the sleds out, the trails are brown. It hasn't snowed here since Jan 1st

I hate you!!!
Just kidding! Nice pics....I'm just jealous because I haven't been out in a snowcat yet this season due to a lack of snow and warm temps.
