Looks like we got our first realy dump of snow here on the west coast... check it out! I fully expect guys from colder areas to add their comments of "thats nothing! it looks like that here on a warm day in the winter," etc etc :)

Since it does not snow here and I only get to travel during the summer I actually have never expirienced natural snow, it's one of the things I always wanted to do when I was a kid.

I live in the south of Sweden. Even though Sweden is quite far up in the north, my part seldom get any snow. If someone's shouting that they got 20 centimeters of snow during the night, it usually looks like this:

We got our first decent dump in Ontario cottage country too - about 20cm so far mixed with some freezing rain to make it interesting and supposedly another 20cm in the next 24 hours by way of lake effect snow squalls (very intense, very localised bands blowing off the lake).

Ski resorts are slowly starting to open up.

This is a typical dump on us here in Mo. I either need a shorter driveway or a snow blower!

It was 68F here yesterday.

I've been in a few good snows when I lived in Missouri, but we hardly get any here in the Arkansas River Valley.

I have a 300 ft gravel driveway, not including the turnaround in front of the garages. :shock:

I also have a 70hp tractor with a 7ft loader bucket on the front :lol:

Unfortunately it doesn't have a cab or glow plugs (needs 3 hours on the block heater before it will start) :cry:

chance - get the snow blower. When the kids grow up and buy their own cars you will be glad you have the extra room. I can vouch for that.
