SnowOps, I wished !!!! That storm is way south of where we are! I am hoping that the Snowy Range and Laramie gets some snow soon. We only have about 5-6 inches of snow at 9,000 feet.

Well I can see the storm front coming in now. Looks like we will be getting a bit of the white stuff as well!

We got a storm that passed through the past few days that dumped 15-20 inches on us. Looking like we're actually gonna get snow this year unlike last season.

OK Bob what keeps those little tubs from flooding? and how long do those batteries last or are they solar? Is that a little data logger in there? What kind of vibration are you monitoring? or are you secretly monitoring for sasquatch
movements? you know you may find some Yetti tracks over the top of one of those someday. as it is being pulled by a Thoikol, Sorry Al just had to put a dig in.

Pretty much watertight, but things are rarely completely watertight so there's a bilge pump at the bottom (couple more feet down). This site has two 80W solar panels and two 100AH batteries. We normally run one panel and battery, but this site is in shade most of the time. It's a seismic datalogger with external hard drive. The part numbers for bith units are taken from an old John Deer tractor and it's baler. The designer is an antique tractor nut.

We tried to detect Yetti recently, but it was so light and fast that we missed it. We should have better luck with a slow and lumbering Thiokol as our equipment is more geared toward long-period earth-shaking events, but parts falling of Snot Tracs may also be easily detectable.
NW Indiana 6 inches, 4(F) degrees. We have a snow advisory for tonight
so we have some hope for another 6" of snow if all works out well.

You must be close to my fishing hole. Dogtooth lake south and east of Kenora ? We try to get up there once or twice a summer.

(RUTH NV) 6" and still falling from Heaven! SLC was a disaster zone with all those damned rice burners crashing every mile or too. At first I thought I was at a Kristi snowcat convention but realized that there are not that many Kristis!

Well, after a few storms passed through the area the past few weeks, here's what we've got so far for snow. Just to the south of us, they got allot more(seems all the storms kinda hung around Lake superior and we just got the tail end of them) On the level, there's probably 1-2 feet so far.

Enough to get the smaller Yamaha snowmobiles out and play a little. Probably 12+ inches on the average. The wind the first of last week stacked much of our base in hard drifts that was out in the open meadows. The last several days gave us about 10 inches additional. We were able to see a herd of elk off the snowmobiles yesterday. We took a couple of quick pics and left them alone. We live in an area where they bunch and mate before hard winter drives them to lower elevations.

Some parts about 18" to 24". My house about 18" I'm at 7,000 feet roughly. I went Snow Shoeing for the first time today and LOVED it. I was at about 8,000 to 9,000 on the hike. Oh Ive had Snowshoes on around the microwave sites and such but never went hiking like I did today. I just found a new hobbie!

26" at my place near the crest of the Washington Cascades. The weather bureau has issued a winter storm watch for Friday and Saturday (12/14-15) for an additional 12-14". Tucker weather!
Currently, no snow. It just missed us the other day.
There's a winter storm watch in place for all of W. NY and PA starting Saturday night and through Sunday night with accumulations of a foot or more.
Unfortunately, I need to drive almost 300 miles right through all of it on Sunday. (from the Rochester NY area West through Buffalo, South (through the snow-belt area) to Erie PA then due S. towards Pittsburgh)
I'm not looking forward to that drive... Already unpacked the van and re-loaded everything in the truck so at least we have 4wd.

Five feet of setteled snow and counting at 7600msl(Profile Pass) more accumulating as I type. All is well here in Central Idaho now that the worst fire season since 1910 has passed.
