It is/was snowing light flurries in Bend this morning -- with quite a bit of wind. Very little snow, really, but enough to turn the ground white. :)
That's the way it should be in town -- just a "pretty" amount of snow! :p
And there's been about 2 feet in the neaby mountains in the past few days -- which is also the way it should be. :)
 
Snow overnight here, a couple of inches of wet heavy stuff. It was a good test of the new snowblower system. I am pleased and love Massey Ferguson and the smell of diesel in the morning! :) And yes, I did a little extra clean up for the neighbors. :)
 
No use for your snow blower here Ski, just a couple of inches here on the hill in Susanville. Did wake up to the sound of the snow plow coming up the hill this AM. Was not that much snow-must be practicing just in case it really does snow again! Sun just broke thru the clouds and the snow is melting of of the roof; guess the storm is over!

Another quick cleanup this morning The Lady grabbed the camera after she got all her shoveling done. :)
We didn't get near the 8 to 12 inches predicted for here.

Ski I am disappointed I thought you bought that for the "lady"
so she could do the snow blowing?
Looks nice though. That's a better machine than the walk along.

Frank, I'll do a movie for you next the Lady is the equipment operator. :)
 
This forecast for Bend from the Weather Channel shows 13 of the next 15 days with low temperatures above freezing.

Not dropping below freezing -- in mid-winter in Central Oregon?!? :oops:
Dat ain't right! :eek:

(never mind that the "10 Day" forecast shows 15 days... :rolleyes: I'm sure that their forecasting computers are better at figures than their webmaster is. ;) )
 
While I'd rather see it snowing in the mountains, it does make for nice weather to get things done around yard and camper.
 
Forecast here is calling for the coldest Super Bowl Sunday ever- single digit highs, below zero lows. Visitors will get a taste of Minnesota winter!

We are currently living in the ice bowl- 12 inches of snow last week, then some warm days to make some slush and now the big freeze. Former slushy footprints are now frozen solid making walking anywhere treacherous. Fun times!

60°F would feel pretty good to me about now. :)
