I know how you feel. We just got that this past week, but luckily it's all gone now.

I just came in from clearing the snow away from our 100-foot driveway. One of my neighbours took pity on me and my shovel and offered the use of his snowblower. I really like the people around here!

We had about 6" on the ground this morning... Finally melting away. Supposed to be in the low 50s for a high today. I'll believe it when I see it.

Here in Winnipeg it appears the storm missed us for the most part.

We got some nasty winds, but only a couple centimeters of snow... thankfully! Winter is hanging around far too long.

I am confident we are done with that stuff here in southern Ohio for this season. It will still get cold enough for some flurries but chances for a significant accumulation on the ground has most likely passed.

The snow blower is out of gas and headed back in storage. Snow poles come out from under the patio cover as soon as I get around to it.

Now what did I do with that darn lawn mower......

Man, send some of that to Colorado! We need the water... and I love snow! We haven't gotten a good blizzard here in a year!!

I miss the snow but is a gret oppertunity to wear a tank. (or get a new tank.)

Sigh

We have had zero snow here on the South Coast of England - not had any since the children were small enough to enjoy it, now they have degrees and need to go places so snow would not be welcome, but I miss it. I made snow sculptures - dinosaurs, in front of the house.

We have had some really cold days and lots of rain - last Friday I only went out to transfer a repair from my car to the owner - I do knitting and sewing machine repairs - and I was wet through and chilled to the bone.

Serves me right for going out wearing all cotton - several thin layers, but I've changed into my Summer stuff, and there is no warmth in it when it gets wet.

I huddled inside a couple of yards of wool fabric whilst drinking some tea, so no harm done. The wool got wet, but that doesn't really matter, it wasn't cold. I warmed up and then went to change into dry clothes - which is perhaps the wrong way round in a more organised household, but when things are scattered around like they are here then it is better to search out a new outfit when warm rather than trail around getting even colder.

I doubt that we'll be having hosepipe bans this year - the amount of rain this year must have already broken records.
