    snow !!! how bad do you got it :huh:

    ok with the recent monster snow storm that stretch about 2000 miles across this continent , lets just see how bad our members have it . it will give us an idea as to how long we'll have to wait before detecting

    heres a few pictures my oldest Daughter took while i was just touching up our walks and driveway.some of the snow banks are over 6 1/2 feet high crying01 i haven't seen this much snow piled up in the 20 years i've lived here.

    Re: snow !!! how bad do you got it :huh:

    Judging from the shoveled, snow-blowed, and plowed snow piles, you have way more there.

    Judging from the snow on the roof of the house in the background, we have more snow here. (Minnesota)

    I see someone has a ladder on the roof there; I have about 24 of snow on one of my shed roofs that is not from drifting or anything. Just thankful the roof is built extra sturdy.

    Out on the level flat where it isn't drifting at all, I have about 30 inches of snow.

    Re: snow !!! how bad do you got it :huh:

    This definitely hasn't been a good winter for you guys out east, we don't have anywhere near that much, we only got about 1 1/2 feet on the ground but some of the drifts are pretty deep. I'd say there's probably an average of about 10 - 12 inches in the woods right now which I've hunted before but it's not great for finding coins, I might try it for relics this weekend cause it's supposed to get close to 30 degrees.

    That's harsh!
    I couldn't help but laugh on the second picture lol ... as I was shoveling one of those 'narrow foot paths' yesterday, I looked up in the house window and saw Dana standing there shaking her head 'no'. So, I widened it to the width of the sidewalk. lol

    I thought I could get by with one... fail.

    Howdy Folks!
    Here in Colorado, the temperature should be rising tomorrow and Saturday. We have a couple of inches of snow on the ground, and I figure I'll likely do a bit of hunting over the next couple of days.

    Surgery left me with a bad dose of bronchitis, and I am taking antibiotics, but still, hard not to get out when the temperature is to be up around 50. Snow shouldn't be too problematic. Looks like all you folks back east got it all!

    Oh, and a word to Dimeman... you're in for like 4 inches tomorrow. Good luck amigo!

    Blessings,

    Re: snow !!! how bad do you got it :huh:

    I think most of the states got something out of that storm
    Nasty drifts you got there Del!! We have one huge one that is 6' deep and about 40' long x 15' wide,,,,big 3'x4' snake laying clear across my backyard.
    The state brought in the big snow blowers again to blow out some of the highways here in the country. They did the same back in '79. This is one we'll talk about for a few years for sure!!
    I can only please one person per day,,,today is not your day,,,tomorrow isn't looking good either.

    2011 silver coins> 18,,,,13 IH,,,,2 V nickels,,,2 Shield nickels
