Umm,
I live in Richfield WI.(1/2 hour north of Milwaukee)
They said the snow was supposed to be upwards of 12+ inches,
I f,n woke up at 3:30a.m to plow about 3 inches.
Yes folks 3 treacherous,evil inches of white death.

The media is making it sound as if we are going to die. For the love of Christ already!!!!!!!
Get that Doppler super computer fixed or adjust the gimbals.
Whatever it takes but stop over exaggerating a non-event.

Later today we are supposed to possibly get another 4-6 but if I were a bettin man my money would be on 3".

Again as usual the storm tracked down to where the fibs live.(Chicago)

If I were to screw up this incredibly bad at work I would be fired, fired, fired.....

You guys are lucky. North of St. Paul,Mn., We didn't even have a flake all of Jan, and got about 2" in Feb so far. December started out strong, but it doesn't look good now. :bash:

please send some of it down South too please!
We keep getting rain, rain, and more rain, then a bit of snow on top.
Right now our trails are rivers of water and slush with 3-4 inches of wet snow on top.

This roller coaster winter is starting to #### me off. As soon as the trails are groomable it pours and we get flooded and it is back to square one. :cussing:

I guess I shouldn't #####, at least I have gotten a few miles in down here this season.

The last 2 weekends I have been snowmobiling SE Minnesota....
Along the Mississippi Valley between Kellogg and Winona
Awesome trail conditions...best in years
Some exposed dirt in a few fields but the woods are great!!!!
The hills are slippery but all the more fun!
