It looks like there's a heat wave coming after this weekend. Contemplating going up to camp to check on things (mostly to get outta dodge for a couple days). What is everyone seeing for snow depths where you're at? I've got some mid winter things I'd like to fart around with if I can get around easily enough.

Right around 6" on average here I'd guess. More in the woods, less on exposed southern slopes

Winter just showed up here. We have 18” on the ground now but the next two weeks look very cold and snowy. Deer got a free half of winter with very little snow. 3 months to go.

We have around 3-6 depending on the area, looks like the extended weeks show some very cold nights at least through Feb (always expected, I really hate the month of Feb). If I was going to be a snow bird Feb is month I would skip here every year. After you slog through that month generally you got about 6 weeks left until you reach 50 degrees consistently.

Maybe 3 to 4 inches on ground. Small cry from what we had last year as there was 24 to 30 inches on ground at this time.

I think it's snowed twice this winter. Chance of rain on Monday.

I don't mind the snow, cold, or wind. It's the lack of mobility that irritates me. If I had the machinery to just go blast everything open and keep it open, I don't think winter would bother me one bit. A person can ride out a few days of obscene conditions. It's the 16-36" of snow that normally obstructs movement. A few well placed dollars in some artic gear, and a guy can save himself a mountain of money not needing a zona retreat. Do those guys know about ice armor?

Do those guys know about ice armor? Back about 20 years ago or so, I didn't not only not mind winter...I enjoyed winter. Now, it seems mid-December through mid-March is something I endure rather than enjoy. Sure, I can work outside when it's 0 and windy...but I don't really want to anymore. I will agree that excessive snowpack ruins winter even more. At least in winters like this one has been I can get outside and run the saws. When there's a foot and a half plus...not so much.

What is everyone seeing for snow depths where you're at? I've got some mid winter things I'd like to fart around with if I can get around easily enough. I was just up at your latitude (Grand Rapids) last weekend and you would be able to get around on the 4 wheeler still in my opinion. Not sure what your snow plow berm would look like at the end of your driveway though...

Not sure what your snow plow berm would look like at the end of your driveway though... That's good to hear. I would really like to do some more winter exploring on stuff. I'll activate my panoramic off-grid solar property surveillance system to find out how much snow is in the driveway and see if I need to order it plowed out. If we maintain a modest snow pack, we could be back in business in 60 days. I know it's optomistic, but it is what it is.

I love winter until about Feb, then I love summer until about August. Would go crazy in a place that didn't have season changes. I need them to be about equally split, don't think I could handle very long winters like you guys have or long summers like down south.

We have nothing. You might see a dusting of white on a north slope that never sees the sun.
