Wheres my stinkin snow.
Sheeze, 42 here in the 'root today. If I'm going to sit in an over priced, under paid, over developed cloud of gray mass, I at least want snow. Like an idiot I just bought a plow for my 4wheeler.  I want my money back.  I'm already getting cabin fever and its only December. Either warm up to 80 degrees, or get cold and snow. These gray skies day after day are driving me nuts. Hey, did you all read that Montana has the highest suicide rate in the nation? I think I know why.

Sorry, we got all your snow in Seattle.
Plenty of people here would be glad to send it your way.
I on the other hand made snowmen and hopefully will see at least some of the white stuff when I return from Christmas.

well shoot, my hubby will share the plowing chore with you up here on the bench. Thanks to the warm rain we got the ice under the snow shoveled off the drive and deck.

Be patient, you'll get your snow ! I am trending towards a nomadic lifestyle. I like the winter sun of eastern or central Montana and lack of snow in the "rain shadow" for winter living. For the summer I prefer areas west of the divide. I need a motor-home at a low price with low payments.

Looks like we've got 3"-4" on the ground here in Corvallis so perhaps you got your wish?
I know I'll be on my 4x4 plowing in a couple hours.

Snow... sheeeet man, got a couple feet on the ground. And it's been comin down about every day ! Weather channel says one thing and we end up with 2x - 4x what they say. I think I'm in the twilight zone or something... I love it  .
Yep, yesterday when it got just above freezing and 18" of wet heavy snow came sliding off the roof all over the deck and steps, I decided to go ice fishing instead of cleaning it up  . Today I have 3' ice to walk on top of to get into and out of the house ! Wife is a little unhappy to say the least. Oh well... fishin comes first !
I'm getin pissed off now, this snow it's screwing up what ice we have on a couple good lakes. Just tried to get back to Beaver Lake, heard it had good ice. Forget about it. Was pushin snow with the bumper. Every bit of 18" - 24" going in there. Too much snow too early.
Cabin fever !!!! Dude, you got a loooooong way to go... better go outside and mow the weeds or something since you still have some showing  . Snow will be along shortly. If your really desperate you can come visit and help me chisel the 3' thick layer of ice i have on the deck and steps ????.

Yup I got my snow. In the future I will keep my mouth shut.  I know the board now thinks I jinxed everybody. HEHE. More snow tonite, sheeze, theres too much snow out here.  Stephan, do you ice fish? I am heading up to Seeley area on Friday. Gotta get some pike. The plow got a work out today. Love plowing it's a blast. Love the winter cold and snow, I embrace it!! Until about Feb, then I start howling about we need warm weather. NOAA is calling for an additional 6-9" tonite and wind up to 50mph  Bring it on. I just dumped one of my trucks in the ditch on Friday, I'm sure its 4k worth of damage. Taking it to the body shp in the morn. Thats my main winter rig.
