It's snowing here...

January 12, 2019, 05:13 AM

Snowing here in the Bluegrass, right now looks to be about 1 1/2" or so and still coming down.

I had a field trip this morning, but it was cancelled/delayed, the problem is I have another one for early evening. I might end up with both back to back. That is if they don't cancelled them.

I don't mind driving in snow, but I am a little worried. My "new" car is wearing summer ultra high performance tires, now exactly the best tires for this kind of stuff!

I have been waiting to get more suitable winter tires, but have been a little short on cash. So I hope that it either clears up, and the roads are clear or they go ahead and cancel the field trips.

I have already taken the fur baby out to play in the snow, it was a big time! Lots of talking! LoL

She loves, Loves, LOVES this stuff! I almost couldn't get her back into the house! LoL

Everyone stay safe, enjoy your snow if that's your thing.

Well, here is what we are waking up to in St. Louis MO. From now to Sunday AM they expect 2"-4" more of snow so the pic below tells you where they expect us to be tomorrow AM given what is already on the ground:

Arman, be VERY CAREFUL about driving in snow with summer tires. The very few times I've been caught with summer tires and a minor amount of snow, you are taking your, your passengers, and anyone around you, lives in your hands.

If you can just stay home.

Hopefully you get enough to keep most home. I kinda like 10" of snow over 3" for that reason. I have to go in to work anyhow.

It started overnight, we've got about 2" on the ground with another 2-3" on the way until it stops tonight. There's a gun show over in Davenport (about a 10 mile drive) that I'll skip today, maybe I'll catch it tomorrow.

Snow sure is beautiful:

I keep a bird bath warm and full in winter:

The road outside our house doesn't look very inviting:

And so is that outdoor fireplace h2oys! Wow!

"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Thanks. I built my "country club size" fireplace in my backyard about 4 years ago. The project of the wall and the fireplace just kept "growing"

We are getting, literally, a light dusting...but it’s that light crap that when everyone starts driving on it becomes a matted down sheet of ice...

Been told we’re good for 3-8” starting sometime between now and this evening. Hope it doesn’t mess up my plans for a local brewery’s 6th Anniversary event today.

Here on the Catoctin it looks like 3 inches or so. Four is less will be great. No need to hop on the tractor and clear the road.

We have 8” of snow on our deck, and it’s still snowing hard! Oh boy!

The kids convinced me we need to take the RC cars out and bash around in the snow...it was a tough sell.

I just went out to measure and have 12" with snow still falling. As of this morning they were saying up to 4" more by tomorrow AM.

We are on the very south side of kc. We have almost 9 inches now and its still coming down.

I have a smallish Honda snow blower. I'm not sure it will handle this much. Especially as wet as it is.

Well, thank God that it stopped snowing, warmed up and the county and State did a bang up job and the roads are clear! It's now above freezing and excited to stay that way, so no refreezing.

No problems with the summer ultra high performance tires.... still need to get something more suitable for the winter.

I'm now waiting for my team to load up for the game.
