WE are getting rain right now... Buckets of it... The ditches are fulled up on the sides of the roads and their is sheet water in the fields right now... Supposed to switch to snow tongight.. Getting us a good soil charger today... Not looking forward to the slush that will start falling soon... 1-2 inches of that is forcasted but they also only forcasted 1/4 inch of rain and we are at 1.5 inches...
Snow piles here when it is wet snow but if it a dry snow it will blow because of the wind. Around Chicago all it ever did was pile.. Nothing like it when you have one of those very rare 20 inchers..
FH-> I have seen what you are talking about on a much smaller scale.. The snow balls that resulted were only the size of maybe golf balls, maybe a bit bigger, maybe smaller. We didn't have a lot of snow when it happened, How big were these that you are talking about? W had it pil up in Bozeman on Christmas Eve of 1996... up in the hils, under the bridgers, we had just shy of three feet if I remember correct.. It piled up good, lol.. If it had blown that night we might enver have gotten out....
Rain is so bad I don't have an internet connection anymore, satelite must be being disturbed. going to have to walk away for a few until it settles down because I am not retyping this.
