Small game hunters don't mind this at all, and since deer season is over till the 26th, we will be able to track those rabbits and pheasants pretty well.

Nice view George, still rain and freezing rain down here in Westmoreland County. Supposed to switch to snow tonight.

Out the kitchen window.

We have about 5 or 6 inches so far. It's supposed to snow all night too.

I sure miss snow.

view at my house today 2" rain & gusts to 40 good day to process the last few days harvest

Here's what it looked like in August.

Looks good George

farmers combine is broken hope he gets his been out soon

We have this on the ground already here in Westmoreland, NY, and 21 degrees. Supposed to get this storm you are getting. 9" expected. Hope so.

I'll have 10" at my house I'm guessing by EOD tomorrow...Have 2 now, suposed to get 4-8 tonight through Friday. Its also like 5 degrees. Winter is here...

George, it kind of reminds me of how winters started when I was growing up. Seems like a lot of Thanksgivings had snow back then.

It is 40 here today, I guess I should not complain. I grew up with the snow and miss it when I see pictures like this. Thanks for posting George.

Nice photos, George. The snow is starting a bit early? Jawge

Gettin' slick real quick over here... maybe an inch in the past 45 minutes?

Beautiful pic George.

We got snow last winter. I believe we are due for snow again in 2028 or there abouts.

Don't give up Richard, there's some in Mississippi. ;) Never can tell with the rain pattern staying with us and the cold coming in. We have 8" in the front yard, still snowing but not as heavily as before. Probably have 10 by AM.

I love it. It insulates the ground from drying out so quickly and provides slow absorbing moisture.

Expecting 4-7 here in NE Ma.

Nice pics George...I was out at one of our state parks today for small game...wicked cold. We left just as the snow got started.

You can have it down there George. We only got an inch or so today. It's been mostly sleet and freezing rain but before to long the lake effect will turn on and we'll get buried.

George, you still have small game hunters around you? They're almost extinct in my neck of Pa. Once they shoot the 3 pheasants they stock on the game lands the few small gamers that were left go home.

Those pictures are really beautiful BUT I am glad it rarely snows where I live. Don't think I could handle a lot of snow for a long time. It is beautiful though.

It is supposed to start here in CNY literally any minute.

Just finished up shoveling and plowing 6 inches of wet, heavy snow. Funny, I was cutting the grass on Saturday!

Steve, not a lot, but I did run into several cars of pheasant hunters at Shawnee State Park. Hardly anyone hunting rabbits and squirrels in our area.

Great pics George , south texas doesn't see that maybe once every 15 years.

What's that white stuff?

That's good stuff George! Great view.

Im one half hour drive time from my good buddy George but 1200 feet higher in elevation. This pic was taken fore noon and its all ice pellets.

This is same pic at 2:30 and four inches later!

We got about 6” here on the Mason Dixon line in York county.

My wife left to pick up Thing One from school at 3:30... 15 minute trip on a slow day.

She got home at 7:00...

10:45 pm. Blustery winter storm outside.

January-like.

Yup! Had ONE parent make it to hockey practice tonight. Lucky for me, he had 4 boys in the car.,.,,

Sideways.. :?

Going out hunting in the morning. White camo, but deer probably will be hunkered down. Heaviest snow forecast for 3-7 am.

8" or so total, with about 2 hours worth of sleet making this stuff really heavy. It was a blast to shovel esp. after hunting and spooking bedded deer before daylight.

You got a real nice place George!!!!

View from my stand in the woods this morning.

I'll try again.

Looks similar. From where I stand, the deer cross through the spot above that little black stick in the middle. I think the snow is here to stay, at least through Thanksgiving. Yeah!

I posted the same above picture on facebook and it posted the right way. Don't know why here it didn't.

Snow is great as long as it's not drifting and deep, or if ice freezes on top of it.When it rains and it's frozen that makes it tough for everybody and everything.But snow Is cool to look at when it 1st starts covering the ground.

Snow is extremely beneficial for the land. Nowadays the roads aren't much an issue as there are plenty of state trucks out there when it hits. By 10 AM this morning, the rural roads around here were all plowed and treated. As long as there isn't a thick coat of ice on top, the animals will actually benefit as well.

It is a good insulator for the ground when the air temp gets cold as well. The ground will stay around 32 and not be leached of it's moisture and rarely will even freeze with a good cover. Not everyone likes it, no doubt. I'm not too happy either when it gets waist deep, but this one stopped at 8" here where we live.

Ours got wet this afternoon which made for very quiet stalking. I jumped five out of their beds on the way in this afternoon so I followd them. One was a buck judging by the track. Perfect tracking conditions. I followed for over an hour until I,got into them, now feeding. Snow is my friend for this reason. They were in the blackberries, but just as I spotted one she also did me. Was within range so I kicked myself for not seeing her first. She blew and blew them all out. I circled and got looks at two more. One a small buck, but they were out of there as soon as I saw them in the now dim light. The door on reg. Bow season has closed. Late season in Dec. for a week. Gunners start tomorrow. Not as much fun, but maybe a big one will show up.

Yuck! Bummer George! We have that in our forecast for tonight. Luckily we got the 4WD out of the shop today. I totally hate snow and cold these days.

Some fun photos above. Tracking those rabbits sounds great George. Used to hunt them on the coldest days.

Came out of the Adriodnacks mid-week with 6-inches and 11 degree lows chasing us down US 81, or the "Snowbird's Trail". Lots of New York and Quebec license tags traveling along with us. Seems early this year for those first snows.

Looks a little different here. Went from rain to freezing rain to snow. Everything is covered with a thick layer of ice. Not good for critters. My fruit trees' branches went from pointing skyward to pointing toward the ground overnight. Many, many trees and electric lines down, no electricity since thursday night, heard reports of 30,000 to 40,000 folks without power in our county. It's 3 am, I'm going out to fire up the generator to take the chill off.
