Snow pictures from my yard

[proud2BlibKansan]

This is the squirrel cover for my birdfeeder. Feeder fell and broke in the wind. This was at 8:30 this morning:



2:00 this afternoon:




If you can tell how much snow is on the cars, you can figure out how much we've had




In my front yard:






Back yard:





These are all supposedly color pictures. It's that gray outside.


Here is a link to pictures taken by a real photographer: http://www.kansascity.com/2011/02/01/2624165/another-winter-storm-arrives-in.html

1. Couple of inches. It's pretty.

By the time the storm makes it to us, it is slated to dump up to 17 inches. It could get ugly.

[proud2BlibKansan]

4. We're supposed to get about a foot here

They just said it will snow for 8 or 9 more hours and to expect an inch an hour.

[Buzz Clik]

8. Gack.

We've got about 18 hours of nastiness in our future, but not continuous.

Those to the south of us in Indy and beyond could get the equivalent in freezing rain. If it happens, it will be highly destructive.

10. Kansas got off easy alright. We just got about an inch of sleet (that is now frozen solid)

Unseasonably warm weather for 3 days in a row (in the 70s), then the next day we get this?!? Crazy Texas weather...

[proud2BlibKansan]

23. Well I guess so if you think a foot of snow and white out conditions are easy

:eyes:

[txlibdem]

27. Oh crap. It looked like just a couple of inches of snow

Are you thinking of adopting the Michiganders' slogan: "9 months of winter; 3 months of bad sledding?"

24. I once waited at a bus stop in

Alexandria, Virginia, waiting for a bus that never came. During the hour I waited, three inches of snow fell. THAT was a snowfall.

It was, the infamous President's Day Blizzard of 1979.

2. Is it still snowing there? How much have you gotten?

I've got family in Oklahoma. I heard Grand Lake got 17 inches.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Looks like 3 or 4 inches to me; hubby says 6

It's very windy so it's hard to tell how much we have. TV station said 3 inches at noon. It will snow for 8 or 9 more hours.

15. Ummmm......

I'm in the Tulsa metro area. I have about 18 inches of snow on the patio table under the pergola. There are drifts to 5 feet or so. My gate is frozen to the brick on the side of the house - and buried in a snowdrift. Windy and dangerously cold. Emergency responders are having a hard time navigating roads. There are several major road closures. I doubt the city owns even 10 snowplows - so residential streets will not be cleared. Reports are that some of the area Wal-Mart stores are presparing to close. American Airllines maintenance facility has closed for first time in nearly 65 years. There is supposed to be another snowstorm coming through Sunday or Monday. The good news is that there have been few reports of electric and other utility outages. Looks like even under the best circumstances, I may be housebound for at least a week.

18. If you want information about the Grand Lake area

Tulsa channel 6 news has a live chat and there are people all over northeast Oklahoma participating. THere's probably somebody from the Grand Lake area that could give you information.

6. I'll send you some!

Snow sucks.

[Submariner]

7. This snow brought the Ducks out of the pond

They are all hanging out under my SquirrelBuster bird feeder scarfing up the spilled seeds and nuts. They are having a quacking good time outside my front door.

9. The y look well fed.

Lucky ducks. :)

11. The first picture shows that the cloak on your UFO is malfunctioning

You need to fix that before the Arcturans get a bead on your location, then you'll have to flee. Opening a trans-warp corridor in Kansas will cause havok... on the corn crop... or something.

12. ROFLMAO

Thanks for the advice. :rofl:

[CatWoman]

17. and I was thinking it was one of Ed Wood's props

:)

35. Johnny Depp made that movie

I would have turned the channel within a minute were it not for Depp.

Reminiscent of his performance in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

14. Glanced at top photo and thought you lived in an igloo!!

16. looks like a dusting to me

[snappyturtle]

19. I'm in NW Indiana. We got maybe a half inch last night and starting

about 1:30 this afternoon it's snowing in earnest. We're under a blizzard warning from 3:00pm today thru 3:00pm tomorrow with winds predicted to gust at 50-60 miles per hour and thundersnows which could deliver four inches of snow per hour. Up to 20 inches of snow total which is down four inches from the prediction yesterday. The wind will be the problem. We have fifty acres of woods around the house which will help. My only fear is power loss. I love snow so this isn't so bad for me....I went into town, five miles away, about 1:00pm. Snow beginning to drift and stick to highway. I have a Ford Explorer XLT and could feel the wind broadsiding me.

20. Here's a photo from my backyard.

22. Shoot, I never mastered the 'whiteout' thing.

[SoCalDem]

21. EEK ! Flying saucer ...run for your lives

very serene looking.. stay warm :)

25. Here are the pics from my yard - front and back

It's definitely getting worse! I'm in KC on the Missouri side. It's hard to tell snowfall amounts because it is all blowing so much. My car only has 1/2 inch on it or so but there are spots on the deck with 8+ inches already.

[proud2BlibKansan]

26. We have a reliable measuring spot on our patio.

It was at 9 inches an hour ago.

[Dappleganger]

29. This Floridian is jealous!

We moved away from the Shenandoah Valley in VA a decade ago and I haven't seen it since. :(

[SheilaT]

30. My sister who lives in O verland Park, KS,

tells me she thinks this is the worst winter storm she's seen in the twenty-five years she's lived there.

Interstate 70 is closed from the eastern edge of Kansas City all the way to St. Louis.

And in Tulsa, the paper there isn't going to print a Wednesday edition because road conditions are so bad they couldn't be distributed. According to what I read, it's the first time since they were founded in 1905 that they've missed an edition.

At least here in Santa Fe all we really have is bitter cold: single digits, significant wind chill. We got maybe a couple or three inches of snow yesterday, but nothing like much of the rest of the country is getting.

31. This belongs on the greatest page...

K&R

[ZombieHorde]

32. We had about 10 to 12 inches the other night here in Montana.

Now the temperature is too cold to snow.

[nadinbrzezinski]

33. It looks beautiful

just don't step in there.

[Mojorabbit]

34. We are expecting a

high of 79 tomorrow in central florida. You can laugh at us when we have a 110 heat index this summer. :)
I love looking at photos of snow. It is so pretty but I do not miss it a bit.
