Southern Ohio makes that a WET snow, which is the worst kind. We're windy enough and cold enough here that mostly the snow just blows off in the lake breeze.

Slightly OT, I been listening to WTOP.com . That is the all news station from Washington DC. Parts of their listening area got 40" or more, the immediate DC area got 24" + and it is not over yet and they are still under a blizzard warning.

We have had a lot of snow this winter, more than we've had in several years.

Looking forward to better weather and a lighter workload to get back into some dish projects!

We are actually getting much less snow than usual and it's warmer than usual. What's been nice is that we're not making regular trips out to the dish to sweep off snow.

Now, if only the wind would stop its constant blowing, then I'd be a happy BUD owner. Since having to switch most programming to 4dtv, the tolerance threshold of minor dish movement caused by the howling winds is now in negative numbers.

We had more snow last night here but it's mostly melted except for the snow drifts we got in early January. The drifts probably won't melt anytime soon especially when you consider tomorrows high to be 20.
