Report Your Snow Depth

We have had one storm after another since last Wednesday! I have only had 65 minutes of solar power generation (other than the minimal stuff i get even when it is cloudy as long as I keep the panels shoveled) There is now 72" in the flat areas with more where it drifted the other night. Here are a few pictures:

Man, sure looks like fun..........Did Santa leave any Tucker parts?:)
 
Oh man I am just Jonzen to get some really really deep powder! So far we have only about 3' at most. Not the 20 or so we usually have this time of year. That means January will get really scary with all the snow fall we get when Dec is dry! We have just caught the outer edge of each snow storm.
 
We have tons of snow where we are visiting in Colorado. :thumb: We went snowmobiling with the family yesterday and even caught the groomer out working. The snow is at or over the tops of the fences in many locations we were yesterday. I will hate to return home to our windblown snow but it is getting better in WY also. I will post more pics of our fun yesterday under off road of the great snow and snowmobile fun we had yesterday.

We've got 3' in our valley at 3100' elevation, 85" at 6300' with more powder coming down as we speak. The sun came out this morning for a change so I snapped the panorama.

Wishing all a snowy new year.

:cry: WTF????? We had between 3&4 ft of snow two days ago. Temps went above freezing for a day and now we're down to 2 feet on the level. Very weird! One good thing though. Our town received the most snow since 1992 for the month of december.
 
I don't know what the official snow depth is, but it's sure depressing to have my newly-restored SV200 sitting in my shop instead of cruising through snow. We can see way too much grass and dirt. Could some of you with bunches of snow send some our way? Our -20 windchill would certainly keep it from thawing.

We have about 3 to 4 feet of snow in most areas of the Big Horn Mtns on the ground now. The wind in WY moves the snow to elsewhere quickly. You can have areas completely blown dry and drifts 20 foot deep close by. It is a guessing game on the total snow because of the wind factor.

URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RIVERTON WY
348 AM MST SUN JAN 20 2008
A WINTER STORM WILL INTENSIFY TODAY...SPREADING SNOW AND STRONG WINDS INTO THE BIGHORN MOUNTAINS. THE STORM WILL CONTINUE THROUGH EARLY MONDAY MORNING. SNOWFALL OF 10 TO 20 INCHES IS EXPECTED IN THE BIGHORN MOUNTAINS. STRONG WINDS WILL ALSO CAUSE AREAS OF BLOWING SNOW WITH VERY POOR VISIBILITY. ADDITIONALLY...VERY COLD TEMPERATURES WILL BE FOUND OVERNIGHT. THE COMBINATION OF THESE TEMPERATURES WITH STRONGER WINDS WILL CREATE WIND CHILLS APPROACHING 30 BELOW ZERO.

Here is a pic of my ex-VMC as I drove it along the county road to the trailer taking it to WA state last Friday. It now has a new home near Yakima and I own one less snow cat. :thumb: The snow is piled 4+ foot deep along the road and 6 inches in the open where the wind has blown it into South Dakota and Nebraska. I hope the wind settles down as I see that as part of the global climate change in our area due to the hot air spewed by Al Gore and its affects on WY weather.

I like all snow cats. As mbsieg said I just want to try them all....:thumb: We still have our tried, true and trusty 1200 LMC, restoration project 1950 Tucker 443, restored 1960 Tucker Kitten, new to us F250 with Mattracks. I am again snow cat shopping for something with potential. I would like to find a decent late model Tucker with blade for my use to see how it does in my environment for my home access. :snow2_smi:

Yes, the FBI rig was left in my care for a while. It was too nice of a snow cat for me too torture with our limited wind blown snow conditions. Teledawg has the right snow conditions, ability to use and care for the FBI Snowmaster....:thumb:
 
Heres my back fence. There is 4 feet snow there. One year the snow was so deep there when I opened the gates (after shuveling the inside) I had a wall of snow facing me!

That is the nicest Track Master I have ever seen! At least now she has a better snow depth home! Anyone hear from Teledawg lately?

I'm here lurking. Just got my Trelleborg T522 4.00-4 tire and tube order in so I've been dealing with that.
All 52 of them are already spoken for. :applause:I knew they wouldn't last long.

Getting ready to take the FBI Rig out in the snow again soon with a few new tires on it. :thumb:

Here's a cool idea for a snow guage that a town just south of me has been using for the past few years.
