(One more thing, we need the wind to keep blowing so the snow doesn't build up on the roof. It usually does keep blowing though, like now, 20 knot winds, 50 knot gusts in some places!)OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-28977569262444704482015-02-15T08:42:05.803-08:002015-02-15T08:42:05.803-08:00Winters in that neck of the woods are indeed awe-i...Winters in that neck of the woods are indeed awe-inspiring.OldAFSargehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15935839956936191547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-33837903715614417032015-02-15T08:41:26.421-08:002015-02-15T08:41:26.421-08:00We're getting blizzard conditions this morning...We're getting blizzard conditions this morning.

A two wire winter usually means a drought summer. A really bad winter is when even the posts get covered. The town of Steamboat Springs gets an average of 33' per winter.Well Seasoned Foolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16670165728759453075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-25164084823047339132015-02-15T06:40:40.195-08:002015-02-15T06:40:40.195-08:00Nicely done, Sarge.

No doubt about who's in charge!<br /><br />The weather man decided to move the jet stream south today and were bunkering up in anticipation of "up to 17 inches" of snow. I'm skeptical, but we'll see. After a month of false spring we could use the moisture. And there I go again giving nature suggestions.PrairieAdventurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06466447251827774900noreply@blogger.com
