• We got nailed with a bunch of wet heavy snow the last couple days, getting hard for us aging people to get it moved around and drag snow off the roofs.
  Don`t this i`ll be running trains on the RR track for a while.

• OUCH Lenn  .....  that stuff does look heavy ....  like real heavy wet stuff !
  
  We've just been getting an inch or so of light powdery stuff every couple of days, so no real accumulation with only a couple of inches showing in the shady spots on the ground. Got perhaps 1/8th of an inch during last night, should be gone by afternoon.
  
  I'll not want to trade you just now my friend, but I will offer you my sympathy and a good thought for successful removal without hurtin' yourself any too much!!!

• Wow, Lenn, we don't get that kind of snow anymore thank goodness - ours comes 2-3 inches at a time with a 12" maybe once a winter. Hope you don't overdo it cleaning it off the roofs and driveway.

• I don’t know how you guys can live through the winters up in Minnesota! It gets to cold here in Pennsylvania and it’s a lot colder up there. I couldn’t live anywhere that they have electrical outlets on the parking meters for the engine block heaters. It is pretty though! I want to move a little more south. The older I get the less tolerance I have for winter. I’m hoping to move to Edenton North Carolina in the next few years. My wife’s father has a vacation house down there and wants to there full time when he retires again. I’m hoping we go along with him. Great pictures!

  Great pictures Lenn !
  
  Being a big fan of snow and winter myself, it looks completely amazing to my eye.
  To me, having a frozen white landscape during the winter, highly enhances the sensation when spring sets in...instead of the rain and mud we´ve usually been experiencing for the last few decades now.
  
  That said, i can completely understand where you´re coming from, with regards to all the hassle it brings as well.

• Thanks Jan, oh i love winter it`s these storms that tax us but we get through it somehow.
  All the city people go home and there`s no four wheeler`s tearing up and down the road, peace and quiet is wonderful.
