Hey chris it was sunny and 55 here. No snow at all. We actually get less snow then you do. Big storms for us are 6-8 inches. I wish we had that kind of snow. I would be out in the suburban getting stuck. lol

We have big mountains 9000-10000 feet here. I will show you some day. Where I live is east of the mountains so the whether is dry mostly. The mountains get over 300 inches of snow on good years and we will get no more than 30 all year.

I live in what is called the high desert because of how dry it is.

hey todd, i gotta ask does it get really buggy out there in the summer months? beutifull pics, i love the pacific NW.

'an chris, i think your storm is late, haha. not even an inch on the ground, nothing at all. i can see our brown lawn entirely. go figure. its been very dry this winter, it seems like all it does is rain, which i have NEVER seen. last year was light too. used to be we had a plow truck to do the driveway & our street, this year we have not even taken the shovels off of their hooks in the garage!

Nope not buggy at all. Dry weather and low humidity with 300 days of sunshine a year. The worst problem I have in the summer is deciding which lake to take the boat to.

I thought the south (like where I live in NC) was the only place that got shut down by 6" of snow.... I thought you guys in PA could handle it!!! Grocery store workers assemble.... they are calling for substantial snow fall!!!!! Get all the bread and milk you can find and afford (the bread goes stale and the milk goes sour once the pour goes out)

an its still chilly out here but not windy and still dry as a bone. jose, be carfull in the snow man. i would never go 90 in the snow with other traffic, 'caus everyone is usually acting very stupied! last thing you need is for one to merge into the side of your monte due to stressfull driving conditions. that happened to my mom on route 80 during a blizzard when she had her '70 buick GS stage 1 in the late 80's ( her car before she had her '68 torino coupe). not a good way to start your weekend. BUT.... glad you had fun

Thanks Ryan.
I will be more careful!
I know that anything can happen in an instant.
