Didn't hear much out of you during the last storm or two.
Now this one. Do we need to send out a search party?


Here you go, does this help?

Forecasts are all over the place.
4-9"
7-12"
saw one that was 12-17" for Park Falls.

Well, hope you aren't getting to depressed by all this.
Look on the bright side, a few more $$ for boating gas.

Personally, it can be as cold and snowy as it wants around here, for the next month, as long as the ice is off the lakes in Canada by May 10th.

Re: WIMUSKY, you gonna be ok?

Yep, I pretty much have given up with spring this year. I thought the last 12" was going to be it. Maybe the plow can come off sometime in May. Time will tell. Ice off the lakes in Canada by May 10th? It "may" be off around here by the 10th.

They're already planning on letting school out after a half day.

Nice pic, not sure if it helps or not.......

Here's the latest:

Nice to know the igloo was a good internet connection, Musky. :lol:

Shrinks are probably making a killing this endless winter. Don't knock over too many mailboxes, no matter how good it feels. :frusty:

Hey Musky ... snow flurries and 24 here last evening and this morning ... a balmy 50 now and going to be in the mid 50's all week. Spring is here, although yesterday were were wondering after being 80 the day before! :facepalm: The daffodils are blooming, the trees are starting to bud, and the grass is gonna need mowed early next week for the first time ...

Re: WIMUSKY, you gonna be ok?

I feel for you Wim, we have transitioned, normally a good thing, but we have transitioned from the 7-8 feet of snow to the foot of mud soup, I was actually using the plow truck today to push mud down my driveway! So at every step of the way this year, the Big Muther(Mother) is throwing us curve balls, the highlight of my week was making reservations for the 4th of July weekend in a campground I have been trying to go camping at for 4 years now! I will be able to pull the 5th wheel in facing the lake, plop the boat in and spend 4 days relaxing and fishing!

Hope your snow stops soon buddy, believe me, I know what you are feeling!

"Speck, I not even going to talk to that guy......:rolleyes:;)

MT - Ya, it's been a dandy of a winter. 2nd coldest and 5th snowiest......... 5th wheel and a boat at a lake. Awesome!

Teamster - How much snow you guys getting? We have about 8 or 9" and it's supposed to snow all nite. Plowed a couple of my large accounts so there wont be some much snow to move tomorrow.... Last I heard around 16 or so for us.

Left coast, eh. Anywhere is better than here right now. Although, we're supposed to be in the 60s next week. Doesn't mean we're done plowing this year......:lol:

Re: WIMUSKY, you gonna be ok?

Well, I hate to tell you, but that strong south wind pushed it all north of me.
Got 2-3" last night, and only a chance of an inch tonight.

I thought you had to be in record territory this winter.

Re: WIMUSKY, you gonna be ok?

And you can send me dead flowers every morning
Send me dead flowers by the U.S. Mail
Say it with dead flowers in my wedding
And I won't forget to put roses on your grave
No, I won't forget to put roses on your grave



Wow, they really screwed up this forecast.
Way over predicted yesterday.
Then last night they said maybe another inch, but we got 6 and its still falling.

It will be melted in a couple days.
