Mike on a bike Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Well it does not hold a candle to Nanuq pics from Alaska but this is Sparta ! I mean Jersey! LOL We have a few more cars and people around. The houses in the distance are across a frozen lake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSTEEL Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Its snowed twice here so far, and both time melted away. We usually have three, to four foot of the stuff before Christmas day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martijnp Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Looks good! I love the snow a lot. Unfortunately no snow during Christmas this year in the Netherlands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted December 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 Jimmy all the way up in the north west corner past the town of Sussex in the highlands. Just got done with the cleanup! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 18, 2013 Report Share Posted December 18, 2013 12 inches of snow? That's great! Hey, why can't a nose be 12 inches long? A: because then it would be a foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 We usually get hit with 2-3 foot storm or two, but 6' is really insane! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Hey Mike ... give me a visit and bring a shovel. We're not getting much this winter but a couple years ago we set a local snowfall record. 93 FEET of snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted December 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Can not even imagine what a nightmare that was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 19, 2013 Report Share Posted December 19, 2013 Nightmare! Not even close, it was a party! Snowmachines blasting up and down the road, huge piles of it everywhere, XC skiing down the streets, cars literally being lost until the spring thaw.... it was great! And man was it wet in the spring when it melted. Here's another pretty snowy winter. We'd get dumps like this overnight. That's a snowmachine trailer with 2 sleds on it. This is in spring on Spencer glacier when a lot of it had melted. (you can see why they had to take the wires off) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
altesporsche Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 haha holy s#!t Nanuq thats a lot of snow .. I have to post a shot later its no where near what you have there but the snow thats here now is two storms one the night i flew in and one over the weekend.. apparently there was zero snow here last week ( says the incredibly good looking female working at the petrol station out from my cabin ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Opportunity knocks my friend. If this sweet young thing is commenting on the cold, cold snow, you have an obvious opening to offer her a date to warm her up. *cough* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanuq Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 Santa is a great neighbor! But I've got one complaint... his fricken reindeer keep getting out and eating my trees. I got up this morning and sure enough there were new tracks out in front of the house. But then I looked a little closer. Hmmm, these aren't reindeer tracks, they're way too big and deep for a lynx ... I must have had another wolf come through this morning.

fraggle42 Posted December 20, 2013 Report Share Posted December 20, 2013 93' of snow? I hope you mean that's the snow fall over the winter season. If you woke upto a 93' snow drift you'd just have to hope the power lines kept going for the next 3 months and you didn't suffocate. It'd be up to the roof of a 6 storey building! Interesting stuff, snow:- http://www.wunderground.com/blog/weatherhistorian/where-does-the-deepest-snow-on-earth-accumulate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanuq Posted December 21, 2013 Report Share Posted December 21, 2013 Fraggle, yes that for an entire winter season. Yikes! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
