About this time last year, we had over 4 feet of very compressed snow around here. I had to have a neighbor come over and widen my driveway with his tractor mounted snow blower because I just didn't have any more room to push snow anymore.
This year we don't have any snow at all. I have not plowed even once all season. The temperatures have been really mild except for a week of cold weather a couple of months ago, which caused the ground to freeze pretty solid. Since the rain we have had could not go through the frozen ground, it has not soaked in very well. We have lots of mud--more like March than the end of January. I would not dare to drive anything off the gravel right now.
I went to Jacksonville FL the first week of the month and it was lots colder there than I expected. It was actually warmer in Seattle during that week and about the same as in Spokane. Wierd! I was sure glad I took a winter coat on my trip, or I would have needed to buy one.
I am sure hoping we get some more precipitation. We are way lower than average. The fire season could be real bad, as could the dryland crops.
2008 and 2009 were heavy snow years. So far this is the lightest snow season I have seen here in more than 50 years. El Nino?

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer. It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
