I've seen the forecast for the next week and it looks like you at least have a chance of snow showers later.

It's funny, but I have my eye trained on the SW area almost as much as my area when I watch the Weekly Planner on TWC! :lol:

Awesome Dennis, I love being in mountain snowstorms observing from indoors of course. Bet the winds are really blowing too!

azsnowman · #9 Postby **azsnowman** » Tue Feb 03, 2004 4:36 pm

I can't get a real good measurement due to the blowing and drifting! I've got estimated drifts in the front yard of 2-5'....the estimation comes from the railroad ties and koi ponds (round mounds on the back of the pond are 4' high and they are BURIED!) now mind you, I *think* I've only got 7" of snow, can't tell like I said due to the blowing and drifting.

Good luck Dennis-I hope it snow for the whole month and eases your drought a little-by the way-did you check out the Jayhawks last night-if I remember correctly you said you spent some time in Lawrence!!!!

Congrats buddy!!!!!!

azsnowman · #12 Postby **azsnowman** » Wed Feb 04, 2004 7:08 am

I finally got an accurate measurement this EARLY a.m. (0450 MST).....I've got 13" on the level, with 3' drifts around the yard and there's yet ANOTHER snow advisory for today 8-)

could receive another 4-6" by this afternoon.

Sertorius, naaa....I was born in Wichita WAY, WAY back when! Funny thing, David (vbhoutex), his wife and myself were ALL born in the SAME hospital in Wichita, Wesley Hospital.

Bet you're happy about the snow!

This is sorely needed for your area.

Indeed....this snow is GREAT, far from being a drought buster but HEY, I'll take every single FLAKE I can get!
