February journal

schools closed today. 10-20 inches of snow expected. looks like no woods for me today. time to get releasers ready:)

Schools closed here as well - those 2" really did us in;)

Forecasters totally blew the forecast down here. A day ago I heard forecasts for 20"+ and we received just about nothing.

Glad I spent 6 hours shoveling roofs yesterday - I guess that wasn't necessary.

its coming down heavy here.

41 degrees here. I'm missing out on a good run I suspect.

No school here as well. All ice. Some how another bout of snow missed us.

I think the weather men and women missed it here to, we have about 4inches and the radar appears to be showing it breaking up, but I guess it could change.

Wow, we dodged a bullet here last night. Weatherpeple were calling for up to an inch of ice with heavy freezing rain all night. Temps never got much above 21 or 22F. Woke up this morning to another 4 inches of snow and sleet but very little ice buildup as everything that fell was still of the frozen variety. No tree damage to speak of! Another 8 inches of snow from this one and another storm Saturday probably will make about three feet in the woods.

So much for record snow fall. Looks like this storm has fizzled out around this area

In crown point ny we have gotten 10 to 11 inches so far and still coming down fine and fast. Kids have been riding the sugaring trails all morning trying to keep them open. Hope it lets up soon. Gonna have to dig out around trees in order to tap or they will be to high for the kids to gather when its time. cpmaple

Charlotte (my 3yr daughter) and I worked in the sugarhouse and the woodshed all morning. She's as amped up as I am for surgaring this year. I bet we got a ft in last 2 days. I plow a trail out back for the first time, without plowing its thigh deep with plowing the sides are belly button high. And I'm over 6ft. I could just toss Charlotte in a drift and not be able to see her head.
