We got home from our trek to Colorado late yesterday afternoon, with the last 8 miles being the worse---I bet we had 5+ inches of very wet snow (like a mountain snow rather than plains snow!) and probably got close to 5 more inches last night.
I think this wet snow will be a blessing--we were starting to get dry. I hope those in the southern plains of OK and TX get some moisture soon, as well as those in the southwest and Colorado!
I'll try and get a picture tomorrow of the wet, heavy stuff!!!

TTB, I'm not even jealous of your wonderful moisture.......when it comes as wet snow in Dec.! Give me a nice rain in April anytime........ as vastly superior to snow for filling dams and starting grass.
We got maybe an inch of snow overnight, after some rain......maybe .30". Drove to Presho (about 60 miles) today for highschool basketball games. Our little (every boy in grades 7-12 playing, to make a team with only 11 players, ranging in height from 4' 9" to 6' 4")Midland team lost by at least 20 points to Presho jv team, but had some interesting moments. The awsome Kadoka team was great fun to watch as they beat Gregory by about 30 points.
Quite a bit more snow just a few miles south of us on hiway 63 about to Murdo, then lighter. Roads pretty messy. Saw one 18 wheeler in the ditch on its side west of Murdo, and evidence of other vehicles having run off the road. Good to be in for the night and hoping drivers recognize the dangers and drive safely. Temp has been pretty close to the 28% to 36% are for about the past 24 hours.

| Didn't get much out of this storm either-- little layer of ice and a skiff of snow on everything this morning, which is already melted off...Looks like most of it went to North Dakota and is headed toward Denny's country...

Yea we got 8 inches from this last little now they say were going to get a bunch more tommorrow I was going to push snow today but figured I could save fuel and do it when there's a foot or more I hate pushing snow biggest waste of time I've ever seen.On the bright side bet we have a heck of a hay crop next summer only 140 days till cows go to grass.
