How much snow did you get?

I live in Dousman Wi. about half way between Milwaukee and Madison. We had a little over 10" of snow but with all the blowing and drifting the snow in my driveway was anywhere from 9 to 26 inches deep. It took me about 3 hours, using my snow blower, to get it clear. Another 3 to 6 inches due tomorrow then a chill advisory on Sunday. Another snow storm coming next Tuesday/Wednesday.

I live in Arizona, people keep talking about "snow"............What is that stuff? Is it really white and cold? We break out the jackets and coats when it get to 85 or 90.

I grew up in Eau Claire and remember those wonderful winters! Really pretty, but snow removal was never my favorite task :D

Feel free to brong some down here in central Florida, where we get less than 0.01 inches (None) per year. It looks like so much fun:D.

Well in Ontario Canada. We got about a foot as well. It's -18'C wind chill out right now so the snow can wait for me. That's just under 0'F for those that don't know Celsius.

Been a cold winter day here. So sorry to hear about all the heat in Florida and Arizona. I know that can be a real problem..

It was least 5, and by the time I finished shoveling, it was at least another inch.
I left for a few hours, came back, and it was back to original depth.

I'm pretty glad actually. Been a while since there was some nice snow. Plus everyone in my house just got on Christmas break!

People always mention this "weather" stuff. And they never believe me when I say it actually rains dust here.

When it's 120 degrees F outside, who the flip cares if it's a dry heat?

Actually, we just got through a few days of about .25 inches of rain. Looks like we're done for the year.

I was hoping we might get off easy this year, but we've accumulated about six inches over the last few days. The wind has been kicking up fairly fierce, so the roads are rapidly drifting in....I'm ready for it. Still have several bottles of vino in the cooler, a half-full bottle of Grand Mariner, and a nearly full propane tank, a box full of printer ink carts, and lots of paper model files to browse.

We got a few inches in Wichita over the past couple of weeks. It's all gone now. Padre, just take a little drive up north of the Mogollon Rim. I'm sure you'll see some of the cold stuff. Snow showers forcasted in Prescott & Flagstaff this Tuesday.
