ebinmaine 63,466 #1 Posted April 2 Looks like we're in for the biggest nastiest storm we've seen in a bit. 18" plus here supposedly.....? Starts Wednesday afternoon and goes all the way through Friday.

davem1111 1,943 #2 Posted April 2 If the rain we've gotten here over the last few days had been snow, we'd probably have 3 feet. And with the winds it would have been very bad blizzard conditions. Tornado warnings, hail, and all that. Stay safe! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same here, 10 degrees colder and our 3 inches of rain in 3 days could have been 30 inches of snow. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only have two tractors still set up right now; one has a Blower and a 3-point Blade on it. The other has a Blade. But it usually has a blade on it year-round anyway. They predict 3 inches down here, But In my neck of the woods, I bet it only sticks to the grass. 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We keep ourselves ready for a days long power outage 24/7/365. Always have the walk behind snowblower gassed and waiting, even in the summer. For several years now we've had 2 tractors with plows. Next year we may add a third, with a single stage snowblower. Maybe even a 4th, with a plow. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeM 7,736 #15 Posted April 3 Bunch of rain here, figure it washed all those stocked trout to the river. Catfish food now! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The stocked trout should hold in the deeper holes Joe. Low clear water is what turns them into a bald eagle and blue heron buffet here. I swear the eagles know the feast is coming when they hear the whistle on the work train we use to stock the trout. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,226 #17 Posted April 3 We are fed up to the back teeth of rain and wind Over here in England. Wettest Feb and wettest March ever, April looks like following suit. Wind is blowing hard too. They blame the jet stream that is all out of shape and bringing the weather weather. I wish it would shift back where it belongs. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,466 #18 Posted April 3 Well here's the biggest forecast I've seen yet. That's showing our house at 24-36 !!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mickwhitt 4,226 #19 Posted April 3 Wowser! We had one day of the white stuff here this winter. And traffic still ended up in chaos because people are no longer used to driving in snow. To be honest people are no longer used to driving full stop. 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,466 #20 Posted April 3 Welp.... Started snowing lightly here about 3:30 pm. Supposedly potential for 3 full days of snow if the storm explodes like it could. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
